This is the second card I made for Timmy. I think it is better than the first one. I have never made a center open card before. I used the stampin up set By land.

This card kindof stinks. I have to make a train card for my cousin's little boy for his birthday. I Had a "really neat" idea in my brain. This is is not it though. Maybe I will figure it out. I guess the part that bothers me the most is De loves my cards. She tells everyone how I make beautiful cards. I have to make another one for him, I am thinking about using toy box maybe it will be better.

Stamp set: circuis train and alphabet soup (for the inside)

ink: chocolate chip

paper: from the brilliant brights set

This is the card I made today while Sami was asleep. As soon as she woke up she said, I made that card for Buddy. She grabbed my pen and started writing in it.

This is a card I am working on. I am not sure where the idea came from. I am going to redo it with kraft card stock for the pot instead of the white... Maybe use different flowers.

I am not really sure why I decided to make a white card. I did though. Actually I made two of them. This wrinkle paper was something new I had yet to try too.

This is card 3 for the week. I kindof like it. It says happiness on the white label and some of the dots say friend on them.

I am thinking about coloring the flowers in on this card. I would color them in cameo coral if I did color them, but I am still not sure.

Sami and I are making her Valentines cards together. I figured out that I use chocolate chip to much when Sami said to me, Mommy, I don't want to use chocolate chip again. Can we use a different color? I said, WHich one is chocolate chip. She pointed it right out to me. So we used a different color.

So I didn't exactly do what I wanted to do today. I did do something though. I used three stamp sets that I don't recall ever using before. I used Daisy, Bug Builders and Simply Said. I used two background stamps which is something I dn't usually do also. I decided that I like always artichoke, and chocolate chip. I tend to use groovy guava a lot too.

I have not been making many cards this last week. Mom and I have been working out every day. It has been fun. Lots and lots of fun actually, but i have been scrapbooking. I have successfully finishes 3 albums. Two are basically the same. They are of my trip I took to DC this summer with my sister. One for her and one for our family here. The second is of the small christmas trip I took to See Karen in Kansas City the weekend before christmas. Yes the weekend that they had 5 in of snow. Not fun! But anyway the trip was nice. Even the run in the snow to the shop to get the christmas gift that The store didn't have. I Made my fist 8x8 album. It was actually hard for me to do. I am used to getting 5-10 picts on a page. I could only get 2-5 on a page. I got it done though. I don't do a lot of embelishments in my albums. A few stickers, lots of stickers and a lot of journaling. I love journaling. If I could only write, I would be a writer. I want to make a few more cards today, I would like to use my on Gossmer wings set. I think it is my fave set. I am not sure I am going to get done with my stuff the boss lady is telling me i have to do today on time though.

My new years eve, and New years day was spent making cards. I want to make my Grandma a set of cards for her birthday or mother's day. She is always coming over to our house for some occasion. When she is here she wants me to make a card for some reason or another. I am usually busy when she wants me to do this and it usually hurts her feelings because I tell her no. If I have a card made, I will give it to her but if I don't I don't have time to go make her one. So I am making her a bag, if I remember, buying her a white gel pen, and giving her an address book and a few cards for her birthday. (stamps too) then For mother's day, I am going to give her more cards, and for christmas she gets more cards. :) Thef ollowing two posts are the cards I made for her. I made a set for her and for myself. They are not exactly alike but my cards are my favorite so they are the ones posted. :

New years eve 2007

This is my christmas card for 2007. I made it using the

Sweet holidays set that is now retired. Sami helped me by stamping the green on green. It was a lot of fun.

Sami's birthday invitation for 2007. The "you're invited" flips over and says "happy birthday" on the back. I used tea time and Terrific tags and too terrific tags for this one.
This is a postcard that can slide a gift card in between the teapot and card. This is her "giftbag" for the kids coming to the party. The name changes depending on the kid. I used Tea Time and doodle alphabet for this card.
This is the thank you card I made for her to send for the gifts. I used tea time and stem sayings for this card.

Sami's birthday stationary for 2007.

I used my new autumn dots and stamped "Grateful for you" on the back of a circle I cut out and pasted them to a circle cut out of the person's face. I used these to make cup markers for my family's thanksgiving party. They were apparently a big hit, even if I wasnt' there to see them.

My new inspiration is chocolate chip. I love chocolate chip. I have made more cards since I got chocolate chip than I have since I started stampin. Thanks Jeni
