Sexy Nurse

My sister's Father-In-Law is back in the hospital and today is his birthday. He's my buddy and I always joke with him and call him a "Dirty Old Man". He is from Italy and he always replies in his best broken English "I'm no dirty, I take shower today"! It's been a running joke for years, so this Sexy Nurse image from Victoria Case was perfect for his birthday card.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Vinnie!!! Get Well Soon!

What's On Tap Tuesday?!

Have you seen Cindy's new weekly feature, What's On Tap Tuesday?! I missed it last week, but it's a whole lotta fun getting a peek into where other's create, so I hope to participate as often as I can! and I have quite a photo heavy post for you today full of peeks into my life!

First, I will start by saying I am self-diagnosed with A.D.D., I can't seem to finish any one project before starting work on the next. This is true in my crafty world, in my work world, in my housekeeping world, but i always manage to get things done! So you'll understand a bit of why this post is all over the place!
I started working on this little bird the other day which is a part of my DT post at Creative Cuts & More this Thursday.

Here's the little bird again with a stack of Distress Inks behind him :)

 

While I was working on the bird, Luke was doing a little artwork of his own, so here is a peek at his workspace!  

Both of our projects got abandoned when Grammy took a spill. She is 93 and lives alone, at her insistence, so we have been spending A LOT of time there the past few days. Love this spunky lady!  

In the midst of all of this, I am also wrapping up Phase I of my stamp cataloging project! Here are three binders that I've had for awhile that I decided to continue using to store some of my clear and cling stamps that I've cataloged. Whatever doesn't fit in these will go in my 3 drawer Sterilite. (To the left are my AWESOME new Thin Stuftainers that I discovered (thanks to Noelle!) and these hold a small portion of my Unity stamps. I have some more of these on order and plan on converting ALL of my Unity and Ippity stamps into these containers-I LOVE how sleek they are and how they really streamline my Unity/Ippity storage and keep them all so neat and organized!  

Here's a peek inside of one of the binders above, this one holds My Favorite Things and Stampendous, as well as Pink Paislee and Memory Box. 

and then some pages of my new stamp catalog! I am SO proud of this :) and once again, I owe a thanks to Noelle for giving me the push to take on this project! 

Thanks for visiting me today :) and why don't you join in sharing YOUR space on WOTT?!??!

More Cards from the One Little Spark Extravaganza

Here are two more cards from the One Little Spark extravaganza that I did with Pat at her shop that I haven't shared here yet.

This Amuse house is intended to be a holiday stamp, however, Pat had the cute idea to turn the little peppermint sticks next to the door into "lollipop bushes" using green Flower Soft. The color matched the Memory Box DP perfectly. 

Two more Amuse stamps here on this Clean and Simple 4th of July card. I just love mini square cards, something so cute about them!

Have a great week!

Happy 3rd Birthday Unity!

In honor of Unity's 3rd birthday, I am going to share again the first card I ever made with my first Unity purchase. I came across this Kit of the Month (now retired) on a blog and searched and searched until I found where it came from! The rest is history, I have been addicted ever since!

So, join me in wishing a Happy Birthday to Unity and MANY MORE!!!!  I look forward to watching you grow and grow in the years to come :)

p.s. Can't wait for the mailman to bring me my fabulous May Kit of the Month!!!!! Have you seen it yet?!?!

Friends With Flair

TGIF!!!! 
Today for the Friends with Flair blog hop, I am sharing two notecards using Ippity stamps, that will be part of a set to go with my CC&M Card Portfolio. I did just have this on my blog for the 365 challenge, but this is a closer look at two of the notecards. Gotta run! 6:30 am and I am late for my walk/run (my new daily ritual :) This is a big feat for me since I am NOT a morning person!
Hope you have a great start to your weekend!

p.s. don't forget there is still time to sign up to get the April Kit of the Month! You don't want to miss it!~

Project Life

About a month or so ago, I discovered Project Life. I had heard of it before but never really paid much attention. Once I realized the idea behind it, I knew it was for me! I've been struggling lately with scrapbooking....for some reason I keep making cards instead, but I REALLY want to continue scrapbooking, so this little guy will know HOW MUCH I love him and will have lots of memories of his childhood!

I still plan on scrapbooking in the traditional way, but this is a way of keeping up a bit more with the every day and I'm so excited about it!
Thanks for visiting, your comments mean so much :) HUGS!~
