Merry Christmas from Kelly, Hailey, Steve & Rudy!

1st Birthday Card

Is this the cutest thing you've ever seen???? I made this for my granddaughter for her 1st birthday!!! How doesn't HAVE TO HAVE Silly Sealife?????

Scrapbook Challenge!

Scrapbooker's Corner

Are you going to spend the extra time you have off for the holidays working on scrapbooking?? If so, give this template a try.

It is a super simple beginning to your scrapbooking. The main image can be filled with one large picture or a couple smaller ones. Add some ribbon, eyelets or brads and you have a GREAT page!

Create a scrapbook page using this template and send me a picture of your page. You must use at least some SU! supplies. I'll post all entries on my blog for everyone to view!

On December 30th, I will pick a name at random from the entries and that person will receive a spool of 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon in their color choice - pg 190 of the Fall/Winter Catalog!

Retirement Therapy!

The RETIREMENT list came and HIT ME LIKE A BUS!!!! So this is going to be a little "retirement list therapy" for all of us....

I lost 46 stamp sets to this one! I'm mourning.......

Here's some sets that I'm outraged by:
Carved & Candlelit
Booglie Eyes
Looks Like Spring
All About U

Here's some sets that make me say "WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY BE THINKING!!!!":
Linen Background
Letterpress Alphabet
Headline Alphabet

And I just used my Silly Sealife for the first time last week - now it's retiring - where's the justice in that???

And even worse.....I have NEVER used my Farm Fever set!!!!

What's got you cryin? Let me know in the comment section below! It's better to be bitter in numbers - don't ya think?

On the brighter side....there is AWLAYS a brighter side.....I can't wait to see what's in the new Spring/Summer Collection catalog! It's going to be arriving on my doorstep in cases and cases later this month!!!!

Here's some GREAT cards by some very talented stampers - with some of my "cryin' over" stamp sets:

Bless His Heart!

The big blizzard came Saturday afternoon! I LOVE SNOW!!!!! If it's gonna be cold outside - I want it to be pretty too!

It was snowin like crazy - and my CRAZY hubby was out on a ladder puttin' up the NEW decorations! This is when his "inner child" comes out - well - it never really goes away! LOL LOVE that camo Santa hat????

I bought blue lights this year - he's requested them for the last few years and I finally bit the bullet and did it!

You can't really see the lights through all the snow - but just trust me - they look GREAT! Now for the inside of the house - ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
