My first altered frap bottle

ok, so I've been seeing all these great frappuchino bottles & felt inspired to try it out. My husband was my guina pig. Not too bad for my first try although I did figure out some things NOT to do for next time. Try, try again....I say! :)

I used a bunch of quickutz hearts on the bottle

Here was his Vanentine's Day card & some more fun candy that I knew he'd like. I used my quickutz shapes for the candy bag....I really need to get a scalloped punch bad, but not until the economy turns things around for us & my husband can get his job back. Darn construction industry. Perhaps when President Obama comes to Phoenix on Wednesday something good will happen. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

We've kept it pretty mellow for Valentines day. We stayed in & watched LOST....I know, we're crazy! :)

I created this card today based on Sarah's bellaholic's sketch challenge #5. :)

30th Birthday card

This card isn't very exciting, but I wanted to share a great little find that I wasn't expecting. A couple of years ago I purchased a ton of my favorite candle from Victoria's Secret (of course they were discontinuing my favorite scent). They are the mood candles (very yummy, I highly recommend any of the ones that are still available). They come in a cute black box with a faux croc design. Anyway, inside each of these boxes is a small sheet of that same faux crocodile acetate. I used it to die cut some fun letters for the card & voila!

I love awards! Is there a red carpet in my future?

Debby, I am so touched that you would give me this. Let me pay it forward. :)

So here are the rules:

1. The winner may put the logo on their blog.

2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award.

3. Nominate 5 blogs.

4. Put links to their blogs

5. Leave a message for your nominees.

Most of these ladies have been my Bella sistahs at some point. Each has given me so much inspiration. Some are blogs that I love to visit! These ladies are all super talented & I learn from each of them every day! :)

Here are a few of the professional photos from the wedding!

Can we go back???? :)

So, I dusted off my supplies today

and I actually crafted for a couple of hours. It was a relaxing way to spend my Sunday afternoon. I didn't get too much accomplished, beacuse the kitties were also seeing all the fun stuff for the first time & they, too, wanted to play. :)

This one was an image that I received in a swap.

And this one if for my friend Julie's upcoming birthday.

Hopefully it won't be another 3 months before I get the chance to do this again. :)

New Birthday card for my friend

So, during my wedding there was an inside joke about my bestfriend always needing to go to Starbucks to have her green tea fix everyday. My friend, Krista, got stuck indulging her, because they were rooming together. You had to be there, but Krista loved this card when I gave it to her yesterday!
