Friday's 10!

1. Today for "Breakfast Friday" at work we had a catered breakfast. We had eggs, biscuts and gravy, bacon...YUM! I tried not to eat too much because I'm going to try on my bridesmaid's dress next Wednesday. I really want them to tell me that I have to have it altered a lot. I've lost about 15 pounds since I was fitted for it in December! YEAH!

2. Yesterday I bought 2 of these...When we got married, we registered for a 3 piece set or something. It came with a regular size and a very small suitcase. I always make Sam take the very small one...I don't know how he feels about that. Anyway...with all of our traveling (which isn't that much) a few of the feet have fallen off the suitcases that we currently own and they are torn and stuff. So I did some research and decided that this is a great purchase. 2 of the same size. There is bright green on it so that we can identify it easily! I think they will work out great. Oh...and I got them from Amazon and got FREE shipping! WOO HOO!


3. While I was online getting suitcases, I figured that I should get a new home for my new camera so that it can travel with us on the cruise! So here is the new camera case that I purchased, also from Amazon!

4. I got flowers today from a co-worker. Before you get any ideas, everyone in our department got flowers so it's not really a romantic thing...just a fun friendly thing! I got the iris bunch...they are so pretty.

5. I am really excited to go home and scrapbook tonight. I am really inspired by Jennifer Pebbles lately. You can see her work at http://paperandink.typepad.com/thegoodlife/ I love her collage style. She groups some things together that you wouldn't normally put together and I love that! I need to try to develop my collage style. I'm going to go home and work on that...I will post pictures soon!

6. Isn't this card just so cute? It's really simple and looks really easy to make. I think I might try to make this one too! You can see more of this designer at http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/. She's the one that has the videos every Monday.

7. I'm going to Chili's for lunch. YUM!

8. Remember a while back when I told you and I needed to start flossing and that I made a deal with myself to floss or there was no Diet Coke the next day. Well I am happy to tell you that It's been almost a month and I have only missed flossing 2 times. I actaully feel the need to do it now! I guess it is true...21 days to a habit. That's what my hubby says. So now I have a flossing habit and it really doesn't take as long as I always thought it was and it really does make my teeth feel 10 times cleaner.

9. I discovered a blog of a girl that works at the SU office and I love it! I knew that she was an employee of SU because I have seen her at conventions in the past. Jamiey's post for April 15th is hilarious! http://jaimey.blogspot.com/

10. I'm already looking forward to next weekend! I will be scrapbooking on Friday night at church from 7-midnight and then all day on Saturday at our 12 hour crop. If you are reading this and you are waiting for an invite to the crop...sorry! I'm a slacker this time around.

WOO HOO Wednesday!!

Hey Everyone! I hope that your week is wonderful so far! It's almost Friday so that is GOOD!

This picture features the present that I wrapped for my best freind's shower. You know, however many ribbons you break is how many kids you will have. So I wrapped them up with a lot of ribbon. It didn't work though...she didn't break a single one! And I thought she wanted kids! Hmmm...

I decorated this notebook for her to keep track of all of their wedding gifts in. I just added a few chipboard letters and some ribbon! So cute!

This is the card that I gave to Kristin. The bride and groom were cut out of the wrapping paper that I used. I love that wrapping paper!

This is the card that my mom made for Kristin. Everyone was really impressed by our crafting ability! Hmmm....maybe I will gain a few more customers if I keep up the craftiness!

These plates were decorated by Jessica. She is in my technique club and is also my neighbor and my hairdresser...she's multi-talented! Anyway, our club this month was all about rub ons so she brought these over to show off. She used the SAB Rub ons. They are so cute! They were hanging in her kitchen just plain white and she decided that they needed to be jazzed up a bit. She said that after she did this she started looking around the house to see what else she could decorate with rub ons. Please send us more creations Jessica!

This card was submitted by my mom, Kathy. She just got this set from the mini catalog...can't think of the name right now! What a cute owl this is! And it's perfect for WOO HOO Wednesday!

Keep the submissions coming. I can't wait to see what you do next week!

Just a Card

Monday after Stamp Cub where we made a few cards using rub ons, my freind Colette came over to use our Cricut and I thought that while she was cutting some letters out, I would make a card. Just one card...a card that I would not duplicate. Who will be the lucky recipient of this card? You will have to wait and see if it shows in your mailox.

The bird comes from the stamp set Always. The flower image is from the SAB rub ons. And the letters are chipboard that I got from Archiver's. I love this card!

Pictures!!!!

We got our pictures and I love them! Here are a few of the best ones. If you want to see the whole album I can send you a link to where they are posted online. And if you love them too and are interested in the photographer, please let me know and I will get your her information. She just does this on the side now and is really cheap!

Top 10 of the Weekend

1. It's 8am on a Saturday and I'm already up and showered. Why? Today is my best freind's bridal shower! YEAH! I'm heading over to help cook and I'm excited. I will post pictures of her card and my wrapping job tomorrow. :)

2. I'm watching Top Chef that I taped from Wednesday. Who's going home? I don't know yet!

3. Tomorrow I have a Stampin Up workshop! There are 6 guests confirmed and 5 maybes! YEAH!

4. I have the desire to scrapbook today. Too bad I don't have time! Maybe later tonight!

5. I must love TV shows that are filled with drama. Even Top Chef is having drama tonight!

6. A week ago Sam and I got our pictures taken with my freind Heather. I'm very excited to see the results! I will post some when I get them back! YEAH!

7. What is your favorite stamp set? I think my all time favorite stamp set is Warm Words. It can add a tons of style to a card in just minutes! It's great!

8. I need to look up directions to the party today. Gotta get running!

9. This picture is so yummy! It's Justin Timberlake for those of you who don't know!

10. Hope you all have a stamp happy day!

Kim :)

WOO HOO Wednesday!

This week's Woo Hoo Wednesday is rather sparse. We have one card...

This card was submitted by my mom, Kathy. She traced her chipboard to create the 60. The small flower and "happy day" are rub ons! She found the idea for the ribbon on page 4 of the Occasions Mini. Very, very cute!

Make sure you all are working on next week's submissions! Can't wait to see them!

Parties!

So as you may (or may not know), my best freind is getting married in May! So of course I have been making her cards for her shower and Bachelorette party! I posted her shower invite a few weeks ago and below you will find her Bachelorette Party invite!

I just love that satin ribbon! Please, please, please bring it back Stampin Up!!!

Blog Videos

This card is what started my blog addiction. Kristina Werner is has some really great stuff and she also posts videos to her blog that are awesome. I think I ran across this card on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ a while ago and saw that she had a blog. From there I just found her freinds and the chain continued.

Here is a link to her blog... http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/. She has a new card every Monday for her "Make a Card Monday". Then she has a video showing how she made that card. It's rather entertaining. Let me know what you think!

51 days until this....

I'm so excited for our 7 day cruise! We are leaving on May 25th! WOO HOO!

And a BONUS for Friday...I just found out I actually have 3 weeks vacation instead of 2! I love my job! (But not enough not to use each and every one of those vacation days!)

Have a happy day!

WOO HOO Wednesday!

Hey Everyone - I hope that your Wednesday was great! I wanted to get the WOO HOO's up here before I forgot! So here they are!!!

This past weekend I had a great time scrapbooking my own pictures with some new stuff! Here is a page that I did with some new paper! I love the shape of it and that scallop is actually felt! I have to say that I really love felt on my pages now! It's so cute...and soft!

This was a wedding card that Heather made. It is so cute! I love her doubled up ribbon. She also embossed the background on vellum and stamped and colored the bride on vellum too! So cute! What a lucky bride and groom!

This card was made by Kathy. Wat a great use of patterned paper! The colors are sure to cheer someone up if they aren't feeling well.

This card is also by Kathy. She watercolored the vase and flower! So cute!

And...here are some really cute layouts and I made with a paper pack that I received from Archiver's! I love the fun colors and the great scalloped and shaped papers! This layout is of a picture of my in-laws. I wasn't actually there but I just love the picture! They are so fun!

And here is another layout with the same paper pack. This layout is of my birthday this year when I turned 27. So much fun!

Look at that silly man! Page 2!

And on Monday at work...I came back from lunch to find another whole pack of the paper on my chair! I was so excited for my secret prize! Apparently someone from work was going to Archiver's because she is archiving documents and not necessarily scrapbooking. Anyway the paper pack wasn't really her style and she knew that I scrapbooked and thought I might like it! THANKS JUDY!
