Belated Birthday


Hello all,
Today I'm sharing cards made by my son & I. We made these for my aunt for her birthday, set them aside to mail.
Well I totally last track of the days, needless to say they went out after her birthday. I felt so bad.
Here is the card my son made. He needed an idea for the set he chose, so I had him look through the gallery at splitcoaststampers and he chose a card made by Amy Rohl; here is the link to her card . I think he did a wonderful job.
He likes to make cards for his friends and family.

Now for my card, I've had no stamping mojo, none, zip, nada. It's been very frustrating. So I too went to splitcoaststampers for ideas. I found a card I liked and made a copy of it, but I failed to write down the where's and who's. So if this is your card or you know who made it, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. Because my card is an exact case. So who ever you are thank you.

I'm hoping to get some stamping done this weekend. Big emphasize on hoping. I have an Eagle Scout Court of Honor to attend today and a Water Fun Day for Cub Scouts on Sunday. Being in scouts is all most like having a second job.

Well I hope you all have a great weekend.

Until later, happy stamping.

A Good Friend


Well here it is my 1st official post, with a picture and everything. I was all set to share a few cards my son and I made for my aunts birthday. And as the story also goes, I got busy. Well in the mean time my very good friend sent me a birthday card and present of ribbons and a little magnetic box that she covered. Her card is so much pretty, the picture doesn't do it justice. To my friend Penny, thank you very much.







I have one more I want to share with you. I made this for my nephew for his birthday. He loves his pirates and since this is talk let a pirate week. This card, well it's not exactly a card. It a diorama that I found on splitcoaststampers; this was so much fun to make.

I used the new baja breeze, chocolate chip, and very vanilla cardstock. I colored it with my reinkers and my aquapainter. I think he turned at real cute, if I say so myself.

Well thanks for looking and I hope you come back.

Hello Friends

Well like everyone else, I have decided to join the league of bloggers.
I hope you will enjoy my ramblings of life at the fish pond, I call home.

A little about myself, I am a Stampin'Up! demonstrator who is her best customer. I just received my 5 year pin. I can't believe it's been that long. Well this is one of the reasons I have decided to start a blog. I need something to get me to stamp more. My kids and husband keep me very busy, with 2 of my boys in scouts and one in the fire explorer program and a fireman for a hubby, my days are busy. Oh and I work full time.

I have a hard time finding time to stamp or little else for that matter.

So here is to more stamping and posting the items here. Oh, and the intermittent stories of my family.
