Just saying hi!

Hello out there, wish I was doing some stamping, but I am way behind. I got the house kind of clean, the laundry partly finished, and the shopping done, so tomorrow I hope to work on some end of the year projects. I want to make something to give to my students for the end of the year, I have some thank you cards to make, and 3 retirement cards. That's going to be a lot...considering I rarely stamp anymore. School is almost out :o(, so I may have more stmaping time :o). I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Water bottles for the dance



I've been working on the water bottles for the 8th grade dance. Our theme is Hawaiian, so I think these will be perfect. I was stamping hibiscus flowers forever, then remembered I had the roller with Hawaiian flowers, so I switched to it and the stamping went much faster!!! We only have 61 kids, but we are doing at least 2 bottles per kid, plus some for the adults, so I have a lot of water bottles to cover. 7 cases of 24 actually....There are other great parents that are going to help me. :o)

BTW...These go with the leis in my earlier post.

"BY GOLLY I HAVE A BLOG"

My mom has a blog!!! The name of it is BY GOLLY I HAVE A BLOG, which is perfect for her. She has lots of wonderful grandchildren and they call her Golly, so BY GOLLY I HAVE A BLOG is a very clever name for her blog. Check it out!! Give her come love, tell her you've seen her wonderful creations!! I got her into stamping and I must admit, the first few attempts, I thought, Oh my.....but holy cow, she's one of hte best stampers I know now. She makes the most awesome cards, she even has a few people that ask her to make them and buy them from her. Her cards are beautiful, so hop on over to her new blog and check them out.

Happy Mother's Day!!

All I wanted for Mother's Day was some time to do some stamping and spend some time in my craft room. I needed a card for my mom, my aunt and a friend that will be having dinner with us tonight, so I spent about 4 hours making 3 cards!! It was so great to finally have time to make something.


The first card I made for my Aunt Mary. It has a lot of prima flowers and the little brads are some from basic grey that I have been hording, I just hate to use my cool stuff, but if I don't use it, it just sits in my craft room so I guess I don't need to save everything!!

The second card is for my Mom, it has no stamping on the front, just vellum flowers, but the inside (below) is stamped and has some bling.

My favorite card that I made today is this next one........


I got this "Busted" set for my birthday and I have wanted to use it, but just haven't had time. I have a friend who's hubby just got hired as a police officer, so I thought she'd like this cute girly cop card. Of course she didn't get a uniform, he did, but I still think she'll think this is a cute card!! I really like how it turned out.

Froggy thanks a gazillion!!!


I haven't stamped much lately, but I did make this card a few weeks back. I just love these frogs, I bought a set of clear stamps, and a sheet of stickers with the frogs on them.  Well this card got the stickers!!   I love how it turned out, I just wish I would make more time to make more cards.  This is going to a little girl in my class who gave me a very sweet and thoughtful teacher appreciation gift this week.  I know she'll love it, she's into cardmaking and papercafts.
