Finally made some graduation cards

I think I like them :). The newest graduation girl image by Hanna Stamps. At least its new to me. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set.

More cleaning in my stamp room

When its 99 degrees outside , I decide to keep cleaning my stamp room. I started on Father's Day and went through all my paper. Threw out scraps that I will NEVER use and ditched papers I just didn't like. Why keep it if I am not going to use it? So I came across these cute brads and mini license plates. I have them out on my desk so I will be forced to use them. Do you do that, buy something, get it home, put it away, never to see it again? Well, I am going to start using my cute things up!!

My new Smooch colors came today!!

Aren't they pretty? :) I got them from Taylored Expressions on sale and got them in 3 days .... That is awesome customer service!!!

I am in the latest Just Cards Magazine, Vol 14, Summer 2009

I have 3 cards in it ... Pages 35, 44 and Page 103. Check it out :)

Happy 17th Birthday Ms. Emily!!

What does a 17 year old girl want for her birthday? Her belly button pierced!!

My friend Lesa found out 2 years ago this week

that she had (I think Stage 3?) breast cancer. She has fought it and is winning the battle!!! I sent her this card to let her know how proud of I am of her. Go Lesa Go!!!! (Notice the "survivor" charm? I found that at Hobby Lobby and knew I had to make her a card with it) You can read all about her journey here at her blog.

My latest circle journal "A-Z Things About Me"

My latest circle journal was returned to me today after first starting it back in January or February. WOW is the one word that comes to mind. Everyone did such an amazing job and I want to show you here so you can see why these are so fun to exchange. I made these 4 pages to start out with and then I passed it on to Ellie, she worked on her pages for 3 weeks, then she sent onto Patty and so on. When it finally got to the last person in the swap, Joanne did her pages and sent it back to me. I really enjoyed learning all these fun things that everyone filled out. A great big thank you to: Ellie, Patty, Roxie, Mary, Cheryl, Angie and Joanne.

The next 2 pages are done by Ellie who lives in Charlotte.




Patty did the next 2 pages and she just happens to be Ellie's sister. Patty lives in Massachusettes.






Roxie's 2 pages are next and she lives in Michigan.




Cheryl does the next 2 pages and she lives in Kansas.





Mary's pages come all the way from Arizona.




Angie (who is the host of ALL of our circle journals) and keeps us updated and on tact, did the next 2 pages and she lives in Utah.



Last, but certainly not least, come these pages from Tennessee and they are done by Joanne.
