Boy it's been a long time!

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. In the meantime, we have had 2 stamper's group meetings and everyone has been asking where the samples are. They are coming, I am trying to finish one of the projects off yet, and the other one, I am trying to finish it so I have more than one sample. OK, I will tell you what they are so you have something to watch for... Our project in November was a cute little mini album that my good friend Blythe made for me. I copied the idea and made one as a sample for the class and now I am working on a "romantic" one for my husband for Valentines. Good thing it is more than a month away yet, by the time that day gets here it will have been 3 months in the making ;)
Ok, December's project was a card holder book, with pockets and a calendar on it so you can keep yourself organized. These turned out great, and I was really hoping to take some photos of some of the great pages that the group did. Unfortunately time did not lend itself and I didn't do it. BUT! I will have my sample uploaded soon.
I was really bad this year and did not send any Christmas Cards. We did manage to take a family photo during the holidays though and my thought is to send "Happy New Year" Cards instead. What do you all think? Now... to just figure out what I will make :)

Decor Element Sample

Just thought I would share with you where I put my first Decor Elements. I wanted to put this in my stamping room but really, if you have seen my room, there is no place on the walls to put it. I figured above the door is a good spot, perfect size and I look straight at it when I am busy "creating" My boys decided I needed a letter "C" to put in front so I have ordered and received it, just haven't put it up yet. If you come by my stamp room, be sure to have a peek at it for real. Oh, and these are super easy to apply. I did have some difficulty with the "dots" however, I have since received some tips and if you plan to get these, I will share them with you. :) Stampin' Up! has also created both an instruction sheet and a video for applying these.

Love is in the air! Yes, it is Wedding season starting.

I have to attend a shower tonight so I got myself busy and made 2 cards for 2 brides to be. The first wedding is taking place this coming Friday, and the second on the 2nd weekend in April. I saw on someone else's blog recently, (i am sorry, I can't remember where as I read too many) a challenge to create a card with no cardstock layers. These are 2 that I came up with. The Wedding this Friday(also my anniversary), the colours are pink and black so I took those colours into consideration when I chose my inks. What do you think? Have you challenged yourself to stamp with only ink and a base Card? Give it a try and see what you can come up with. The second card using this challenge is not with any specific colour theme for the wedding, I didn't know what the colours are so I just used my imagination. Besides, this colour went well with the wrapping paper my daughter got and wrapped the gift in. Both these cards use the shape from "Sweet Shapes" for the base, and the
