Good morning!  Today’s card uses this week’s (or really, last week’s!) My Favourite Things sketch.  Whenever there is a large rectangle on their sketch, I find it hard NOT to use one of my A La Mode gals :)  Hope your week is humming along!  It’s HOT here so I’m enjoying the deck in the shade right now :)  Have a fantastic day!

I Need Some Girl Talk

Good morning!  Well, this card is very appropriate for today…I’ll be getting some great girl talk in with a dear friend at breakfast this morning :)  One of the MANY things I love about being off in the summer is being out and about during the week…breakfast downtown, making appointments when it suits me, and shopping when it’s not busy :)  It’s these little things I really appreciate.  Today’s card uses the current My Favourite Things sketch challenge.  I haven’t used my sweet Latte A La Mode gal for awhile so I dug her out and paired her with a sentiment from Girl Talk.  I felt my Lilybee Design papers were perfect for a cheery, summery look.  Hope your morning finds you cheery as well.  Thanks so much for visiting :)  Your comments always make me smile :)

UR2CUTE!

Good morning!  I had to laugh at today’s blog post.  It looks like I’m sending someone a text and I’m one of the last people on earth who does not text!  I know!  I just have no time.  I can’t text at work and if I’m home, call me!  If I’m out, email me!  Truth be told, my cell is usually dead in my purse.  That’s just the way I roll :)  I’m old school and love it :)  Now having said that, I LOVE these sweet text-like sentiments from My Favorites Things.  I’m using their sketch from last week to create a fun card that would suit any dear friend.  Now onto some fun finds I want to share with you.  Fellow Verve Diva Teresa has been enabling me lately with her fabulous lace trim.  I couldn’t resist one late night (up with my cough a few weeks ago) so ordered a whole bunch from The Funkie Junkie site!  Here’s the stash that came yesterday along with some white burlap and corrugated cardboard (I can’t believe I bought cardboard!! LOL But I did!).

Also, about a month ago, I found this fabulous little caddy at Winners/HomeSense.  It’s a discount store in Canada that’s similar to TJ Max in the States.  Right now I’m using it for a card display, but it’s so versatile that it might be used another way at some point.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Reports are done, but there are still a ton of things to do before the school year is officially over.  But I can see that sweet summer just around the corner!

For All You Do

Good morning!  I was so happy when I remembered that I hadn’t used this week’s My Favourite Things sketch yet!  It gave me the opportunity to play around with some items that I love, but haven’t used up yet…i.e. the October Afternoon Miscellaneous pack (cream button and Jollybook card) and the Schoolhouse paper…yes, I have a bit left, but not much!  I want you to notice that I made my apple a Golden Delicious apple, ‘cause this teacher doesn’t always eat the red ones! ACK!  LOL.  With year end just around the corner, I figured I needed a few more teacher “Thank You” cards.  Oh, notice how I kept her “modest” by covering up the bare legs!  EEK!  Hope your week is humming along…thanks so much for visiting :)  See you soon :)

Happy Birthday

Good morning!  Oh, but after a weekend of beautiful sunshine and our new sundeck it’s hard to go back to work!  LOL  I whipped this card up during my little Mother’s Day inky session yesterday :)  I just HAD to use this fun new paper from American Crafts, Amy Tangerine…doesn’t that make you want to change your name?  ACK!! So fun!  I’m using this week’s My Favourite Things sketch and lots of their stamps and dies :)

Thanks for spending a little time with me…have a great start to your week!  Can’t wait until 5;00…I have a date with the sundeck!! LOL

I {heart} You, Mom…

Good morning!  Well, it was a busy, sunny, super fun Sunday at our Community Garage Sale.  Sold ALL of the storage units I had in the old studio and a TON of paper/embellishments and about 22 cards (not to mention the 44 I sold at work last week).  So this stamper is happy!  I loved talking to the stampers that came by.  The sign on my sister’s driveway directing them to the new house worked well!  Today’s card was one of the Mother’s Day cards sold.  A young girl bought it for her mother along with 2 other cards (she has very good taste!).  LOL  I used this week’s My Favourite Things sketch and some washi tape for the 2 banners on the left.  Kind of a “loud” card, but the important message comes through :)  Before I leave you, I took a couple of pictures of my tables at the garage sale…

I put 4 paper pads together and bagged embellishments so no one could “pick and choose” and leave lots behind.  Buy a bag!  And it worked.  Only had 4 bags left at the end of the day and NO paper.  I also had stacks of 12 x 12 paper that sold in a minute to the same woman :)

Here are the boxes I sell my cards in.  Picked them up on clearance at Michaels a few years ago.  LOVE them! They fit the A2 cards perfectly :)  Hope your weekend went well too :)  Hugs!

A Little Message for You

 

Hello friends!  Today’s card is just oozing cuteness!  I am getting quite the little collection of My Favourite Things a la modes and think they are just too adorable!  However, I did have an issue with this image at first…DRESS CODE!  LOL  At first I thought it was another teacher image and there is no way this 35+ primary teacher would ever wear a short skirt like this! ACK!  But then I was thinking about the sentiments in the set and the “girl” holding the apple and then it dawned on me that this is a student (with a very short skirt!)  So I added some fashionable leggings to her…notice the black line just above the ankle!  Ah, crisis avoided!  I’ve mixed an a la mode set with some fun typed sentiment stamps from Just My Type and used the MFT Wednesday sketch from last week. I am going to give this to our secretary this week.  It was secretary’s day last week, but I want to show her that it doesn’t take a “day” to appreciate all she does…I like to mix it up a bit :)  Woohoo, it’s hump day!  The weekend is just around the corner!  Enjoy!

What’s the 411?

Oh, I love that saying!  I had some fun with my new My Favourite Things stamps this weekend…my new a la mode Girl Talk and Say What set with the OMG sentiment.  I’m using last week’s Wednesday Sketch and some more of that fabulous Cosmo Cricket 23 paper :)  So this post did go live as scheduled, but I’ve been automatically changed over to the new Blogger interface and when I went to view my post, I must have touched something wrong because the whole post disappeared so I had to rewrite this quickly before work! I’ll know better for tomorrow…fingers crossed!  Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful day!

You’re a Class Act

Hello!  Today’s card celebrates another coworker.  I’m sure I’ve mentioned the amazingly dedicated and talented teachers I work with.  Seriously, I am in constant awe and wonder how I ever got into this school (ok, my seniority helped a bit {wink!}). One of these inspiring teachers completed her Masters degree last Spring and is now working part time as a Faculty Advisor for Student Teachers in addition to teaching her class.  Hmm, more reason to start my own Master’s in the next few years.  We had a little heart to heart Friday afternoon before heading home.  She is so modest about her own talent and so encouraging :)  I was thinking of her as I made this card and know that it will find its way onto her desk in the next week or so.  I’m using last week’s My Favourite Things Wednesday Sketch and can’t wait to get my new MFT stamps…come on Canada Post!! LOL  Oh, and I’m using some last pages of the fabulous “vintage/old” October Afternoon Schoolhouse…this was my most favourite pack from them! Have a lovely day :)

Awesome Wonderful!

Good morning!  Well it’s back at it after a lovely 4 day weekend.  It was time full of stamping and unpacking!  Today’s card is for this week’s My Favourite Things Wednesday sketch.  I did sneak in an MFT stamp underneath the scalloped circle, but none of the MFT sentiments I have would really fit this sketch.  So I inked up my new PTI Movers and Shakers stamps.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Be sure to come by again tomorrow for a sneak peek at some new Verve stamps!

Love Yourself

Good morning!!  Well, the first day back to school went really well yesterday!  The kids were either well rested or exhausted…which meant a nice, calm feeling all day :)   I had the chance to make a card for this week’s My Favourite Things Sketch challenge.  After wondering about what to do with those panels, I reached for Own Your Story and some MFT dies :)  OH, I am loving the new MME Be Amazing paper!!  Gorgeous!  Hope your day is fabulous!! Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You From Miles Away

or should I be saying Kilometres away?  This saying got missed when Canada converted to the metric system!! ACK!!  I made this card for the My Favourite Things Wednesday sketch and just in time as today is Tuesday!! LOL  I love the little tag in the corner…it’s my first time using this MFT die…there are 4 altogether so you can pick which shape you like :)  The “hi” is actually from another sentiment in the You Move Me set…I just inked up the one word :)  This card is for all my blog buddies scattered around the world, whether you use the metric system or not!!  teehee!!  Hugs everyone!!  p.s. if you haven’t already, check out my Birthday Blog Candy!!  You have until Friday midnight (PST) to enter!
