Hope you have a Swell Birthday Card | Surfing Card

My husband is a firefighter and his partner at work loves to surf, so I used the Life is Beach cartridge for the surf board and waves, and SCAL for the lettering.

We went to Prom!

I have to show a couple pictures from our friends Joe & Tracy's Prom themed birthday party in Newport Beach.  We had a great time!

Lost My Phone :(

I am sad to announce I lost my phone today (I left it on my trunk and drove away).  So please call my home number if you need to get in contact with me.  My new phone will arrive on Tuesday.

Quick Thank You

Here are a couple Thank You cards that will be going out in the mail soon.

Act surprised if you see it here before you receive it in the mail.

Finally...Christmas Card

It's been hard to find time to post or even make anything with the new puppies, and not having a clue on how to work my camera makes it even more difficult. But I am finally posting a picture of my Christmas Card. I was really sad that they required additional postage due to being 3D, and some even were ripped in the mail. ;(

Lesson learned for next year ;)

This is somewhat of my closeup, I wanted to show that the trees were lighter than it appeared above

Materials Used:  Martha Stewart punch, flock and glitter.

Embossed paper with Cuttlebug, and embossed tree and the word "Joy" with poweder and gun.

Happy New Year 2010

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year!!!

2 New Puppies

I am so excited that we just got two German Shepherd puppies yesterday.  They are not quite ready for posing, so it's been impossible to get them both in a photo together looking.

Christmas has come and gone...

I can't believe how quickly Christmas has come and gone, I feel like I was still scrambling around shopping, and decorating my tree. I don't know what happened this year, but for the first time, I was still decorating my tree the night before Christmas. I tend to decorate with red and silver every year, and this year I wanted a change, so I looked for black bulbs. I had a hard time finding what I liked so I decided to glitter my own black. I really wish I was able to enjoy my tree decorated with wrapped package longer than just Christmas morning, but I do have the pictures to enjoy.

I had a wonderful Christmas with our family and am so joyful to celebrate each and every year with them.

I am also very happy to announce I received a new Nikon D5000.  I can't wait to begin taking better quality pictures for my blog.  I hope I can learn very quickly how to operate this "over my head" camera.  This is my very first SLR.  It was funny that I received only the camera on Christmas, and had to wait to receive the lens the following day on my birthday.
