Door Hanger

First of all don't look at how dirty my house is!! I need to get out the power washer, that is on my "to do" list!! Hey, I gave the dogs a bath this morning so I figure that is enough work for one Saturday! LOL!

Anyway, on to the door hanger, (I cased it HERE) I saw this at Gayle's blog, Little Bird Design, and the first thing I thought of was "I have to make one for my parents!!!" Anytime you go to their house on a nice day they have a crude handwritten sign taped to their front door, telling you they are out back. So this is perfect for them. Mine is not anywhere near as cute as Gayle's. I plan on making some more, so hopefully mine will improve with practice. The first lesson I learned was to cut the circles out as you go!!! I of course waited until I had about a zillion layers of paper on top of my cardboard and THEN tried to cut it!!! Smart huh??? LOL

Hope you are having a great Saturday!!
Sincerely,

Stacy

SWEETSKUNKS

I found this stamp set that I had ordered from TAC a year ago maybe 2 (sometime before Dave Ramsey took over my budget wahhhh), and had never even opened it! GASP!!! I don't know why, it is so "stinkin" (cracking myself up) cute!! The black card stock and markers are CTMH and the pink paper is SU, the pearls and ribbon are from Michael's, so is the Martha Stewart border punch. I also used my Sakura stardust pen on the petals and ladybug. I just slightly altered the layout from the last post, so it probably looks kinda familiar!

I hope everyone is enjoying their extra day off!

Blessings and Hugs,

Stacy

Calming Down!

Hello Everyone!

I really didn't think I would have any stamping time before the wedding, however I am such a nervous wreck that I can't sleep. Creating has always been an outlet for me, a way to forget my worries and relax. So last night I found some wonderful inspiration from the
Stamp Something blog. You should hop over there and check out the DT cards. WOWZA! Makes me a little embarrassed to post mine.

Well, tomorrow is the BIG DAY, my dd's wedding! sniff sniff, choke.... you know I am going to need a lot of tissue, I will be crying like a baby! I will be back to post a pic of the most beautiful bride in the world :)

Have a blessed day!

Yummy Paper

I have to confess, I bought something for myself the last time I went to Hobby Lobby for wedding stuff :( I couldn't stop myself they had this absolutely yummy paper from My Mind's Eye, called Out & About. I wish you could see it in person, it is all glittery and textured and just (sigh) well you know........what can I say, I am week. So I took a break and made a card using the this weeks Sketch Saturday sketch. (hmmm, that sounds weird) Hope you like it!

Sincerely,

Stacy

PS. the paper matches CTMH Tulip perfectly (bonus!)

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Hi everyone!

Sorry it has been so long! Planning a wedding (for my dd) is a 24/7 job! I thought I would show you a little bit of what has been taking up ALL of my time. Making wedding invitations, favor boxes and decorating tiny bottles of bubbles!!! One more week to go and I am free again to make something fun!!! I think I am way more nervous than my daughter about the wedding, LOL! I STILL haven't found a dress....ACK....so "a shopping I will go" again today.

I also wanted to share some pics of my sweet sweet baby Lilly, she is so funny, she was looking for a cool place to nap under the boxwood bushes in front of the porch, I walked out and out pops her head! It was so funny I had to try to capture it. Of course she is bigger than the bushes so you could see her head and bottom sticking out on both sides! Too funny :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Sincerely,

Stacy
