Good Morning!
Now that I've gotten a routine down with work and homelife I'm finding a little more time to stamp! I know that you see something each day here but there are days when I created quite a few projects so I'd have things to show....lol! Now I seem to find time before and after work...which is GREAT!
This card below was created using new Taylored Expressions stamps.
I've combined Beary Special with Faith & Hope to make this adorable card. I dug through my stack of Prism papers to find something to go with this pretty designer paper. I've had it in my drawer forever and thought it'd be cute with bear ;)
The Beary Special comes in a sheet of rubber at a lower cost so that more money can be donated to the charity - Sick Kids Hospital. You can read more about it here.

Stamps: Beary Special, Faith & Hope; Cardstock: White, Prism, DP; Inks: Memento Black, Choc chip; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, 2 way glue pen, Glitter, Dimensionals
Yesterday I had a little time to spare...about 20 minutes before leaving for work....so I made a card using the SCS sketch. This is a SU! only card.....please excuse my rocked bird...I shouldn't have rushed....haha!

Stamps: Cheep Talk; Cardstock: Pacific Point, Choc Chip, WW and Good Morning Sunshine DSP; Inks: Pacific Point, Summer Sun, Choc Chip, Pumpkin Pie; Accessories: Mat pack and Paper piercer, Pacific point ribbon, Dimensionals

Hey Gang!
Were you wondering where I was? LOL!
Yesterday when I got home from work I had a few things to do around the house before Brian got home. Once he arrived we all sat around gabbing for awhile before bed....I just didn't feel like getting on the computer to upload anything....sorry!
This morning I played along with Emily's Colour Challenge of White and one layer...ack!
Pulled out my trusty Trendy Trees and got to work.
It's hard to see in this picture but I did score three lines across the bottom. I DID use the SAMJ for the sentiments but you can see how well that went for me....crooked and smudged....

Stamps: Trendy Trees; Cardstock: WW; Inks: Choc chip, Pumpkin pie, So saffron, Riding hood red; Accessories: SAMJ, Riding hood red ribbon
Last week my PTI order arrived that Denise and I split and in the box was a bag of Nutter Butters AND this gorgeous card....check it out~! She totally spoils me! Thanks girl!

All Boxed Up Gift Set

Good Morning!
Last week I worked on a little gift set for Chris who has been training me the past two weeks. I don't really know her all that well but really wanted to give her something yesterday to thank her for all her patience and words of wisdom. I decided to use one of Lauren's My Timeless Templates....the All Boxed Up.
The cards and box were made with the same basic supplies:
Kraft, Baja, WW and Parisian Breeze DP
Upsy Daisy stamp set
Season of Friendship

This is the outside of the box....I kept this fairly simple as well. I did use the Spellbinders Pierceability again...I can't get enough of those!

I sure hope she liked this set...it's not my best work but after being gone nearly 11 hours a day....I was exhausted and my creativity was shot!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks for All You Do!

Happy Saturday!
Today it's Lauren's My Time Challenge and this week it's a sketch! I know you all ♥love sketches right?! Well this is what I created for the challenge. I used one of those cute The Greeting Farm images that I got from the girls at the Edmonton Extravaganza that I went to a couple of weeks ago.

Stamps: The Greeting Farm, AmyR Thank You Sentiments; Cardstock: PTI Lemon Tart, Dark Choc, White; Inks: Memento Black, Choc chip; Accessories: Copics, Stardust Stickles, Martha Blue Jewels, PTI ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Nesties, Dimensionals

Beary Special

Good Morning~
Today starts the sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! The sets I'm featuring today are the newest for the charitable program called The Giving Tree. This is Beary Special and Beary Special Accessories.
A portion of the proceeds from the two sets will be donated to The Hospital for Sick Children(Sick Kids) which is located right here in Canada! This charity is very special to designer Nancy McKinney whose family was helped directly by them. Please go to Nancy’s blog today for the story of her son Henri.
The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) is a health-care community dedicated to improving the health of children. Their mission is to provide the best in family-centered, compassionate care, to lead in scientific and clinical advancement, and to prepare the next generation of leaders in child health. The hospital is located in Canada, but is known around the world for its innovation and leadership in research.
Please note that in order to keep costs down so that more money may be donated to the charity, these two sets come as a sheet of rubber and will need to be trimmed prior to use.
Stop by Taylor's Blog to find out more info.
