Good morning ladies! The Stamp Shoppe Magnolia Card today & Coupon Code!

Morning ladies!  How was everyones night? I’m running on empty today… Mya wasn’t feeling well again, fever was up, so not much sleep for me… I took her in to the clinic this am. and its just viral… so not much we can do but wait it out. No plans for today really, my place is a mess, so need to do some housework, and dig into my mini kit if I can find the energy, but that’s about it on my end!

Today I have a Magnolia card to show you and a coupon code good for today for 10% off your entire order at The Stamp Shoppe for today (Sunday) only!!  When you’re checking out, be sure to put in the code, “Moralia10” to receive 10% off your order!! Happy Shopping!!

Now here is a card featuring the adorable Tilda in Spring Rain. Isn’t she adorable!?! I think the new Butterfly collection is my fave to date.. they are just soooo sweet!!

And that’s all for today ladies… i’m wiped! Going to go make a coffee and do some reading I think… oh, I need to remember to send in my Idol card for Top 10!! Once again I have 2 to choose from and am just debating on which one may get me to the next level!! You’ll see that tomorrow! Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Saturday & L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal, & & Card Patterns #23, & Stamp Shoppe Grand Opening!!

Good morning ladies..  I hope everyone had a good night! This is a long post… so get comfy!

My night was ok, I managed to get my Gallery Idol card done for the Top 15 (i’ll probably try another one) then just talked on the phone to a friend for a while and chatted on msn with a few friends. Mya didn’t have a good night, her fever spiked and was burning hot… So I was up with her from 4-6:30 am when she finally fell asleep for a couple hours. Before that I didn’t sleep ’cause Dh got home from the KISS concert at Bayfest and we were talking for a while, he bought me a concert tshirt and I love it!!  It’s a PINK KISS concert t-shirt!! How awesome is that?! My fave colour!! lol! He’s gone tonight too, to see Stone Temple Pilots & Our Lady Peace. Not really my cup of tea… i’d rather see Brad Paisley or the scrumptious Tim McGraw! YUM! lol!!! I do love KISS however, would like to have seen them, but with 4 kids… not so easy to get out for a night! lol!! So that was my night, I did catch an hour sleep this am… but I have a feeling that’s not gonna hold me over.. lol!

Anyways.. today I have my reveal for our L’il Scrappers July GOT KIT!! Take a peek at our kit… love it!!!

Our kit features Scrap Within Reach paper, rub-ons, cardstock monograms, & ribbon Bo’ Bunny chipboard arrows, Basic Grey Gems, & Daisy D’s Rubs,!! This kit will be up for pre-order later on today! 

I made 3 12×12 LO’s with this kit and 4 cards… still have more to play with, so you’ll see this paper again!

Now.. when you read the title on this Lo as “To Die For”… i am SOOO not kidding around!! These cookies are possibly the BEST cookies you will EVER try in your entire life!! My mom made these and I fell in lust… they are sooooo delicious & perfect in every way!!! They are called Martha Stewart Carrot Cake cookies.. NOT low-fat, NOT low-calorie, just heaven in a cookie!! Try them.. you’ll LOVE them! Trust!

Ok… enough gushing about cookies.. haha!! Now to my cards…

And there you have it!! I hope you enjoyed my reveal!

Now i’m super excited to tell you that one of my best buds, Heidi has officially opened her new Stamp Shoppe featuring Magnolia stamps!!  There is also a Stamp Shoppe blog where you have a chance to participate in this months card sketch challenge and WIN this adorable Magnolia stamp!!!! Heidi’s Magnolia stamp prices are AWESOME!! I’ve seen most Magnolias go for $14-15 in Canada… (OUCH!!!), so it’s a real treat to get competitive pricing!! Her prices are competive with US pricing, and knock Canadian pricing out of the water in my “not so humble” opinion… lol!!

I’m so excited for Heidi!! Also another wonderful friend is on Heidi’s DT, the amazingly talented Ila… she is such a talented artist, and if you’re a stamper i’m sure you must have been to her blog!!! If not, head on over now to take a peek at her gorgeous work & get a coupon code for placing an order today!!

Ok.. now onto Card Patterns!! Boy, what a LONG post today.. hope you’re still with me! haha!!! This weeks sketch is #23 and we paired up with ShortCuts!! Most of you probably know i’m on the DT for ShortCuts also, so it’s kinda cool to pair them both up!

Here’s my card:

Materials: Stampin’ Up paper, Creative Imaginations Ribbon, Twine, Martha Stewart Double Dot Punch, Bread tag (forget who makes these.. MAMBI???)  

Well that’s all for today ladies! I’ll be back tomorrow with a Magnolia Card and perhaps a coupon code for you too .. so make sure to stop over again!! Have a fabulous Saturday!!!

Woohoo!!! I made Gallery Idol Top 15!!!

Hello ladies! How was your day? Mine was nothing spectacular.. hung out with the kids, did  my workout, some housework, etc.. Miss Mya isn’t feeling so hot.. a fever, cranky, etc… thinking she must be getting more molars.. poor baby!   So just playing with her and keeping her happy today! Or at least trying to! Tonight i’m going to scrap, finish up my kit, and work on my Gallery Idol Top 15 Card!! Yay!!

Thanks SOOO much for your votes ladies!! I can’t get anywhere in this contest without all of YOU!! So thanks soo much!!

My next card will go up on Monday!! You can see the Top 15 cards here!!

And look at this absolutely *Scrumptious* prize I won for making it to Top 15!! Thank-you Paper Crafts & American Crafts! YUM!!

I gotta tell ya.. I LOVE this prize pkg!! Nothing better than bright & bold!

For the Top 20 I made 2 cards…. this one which got me into the Top 15…

And this one that I decided against… what do you think ladies?? Did I make the right choice??

I thought the first card was more “me” kwim? Once again i’ll make a couple cards and pick my fave and go with it! I’ll show you ‘cast off’ next Friday again… well i’m off to get Mya ready for bed then to clean up a bit and then gonna scrap my heart out!

Have a wonderful night ladies!! Please pop by tomorrow to see my L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal tomorrow! It’s a gorgeous kit!!

Happy Thursday, a Magnolia card, and 20lbs down!!!!

Morning ladies!!  What’s up for today? I have a tonne of scrap items on my ‘to do’ list I need to get crossed off.. so hoping to accomplish lots today.. my mojo has been scarce the last few days, so haven’t done much really, but today i’m hoping for more! I have my L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal coming on Saturday, so check back for that! It’s yum!!

The other night I did end up watching Gran Torino, and I have to tell you, this is the BEST movie i’ve seen in years… I absolutely loved it! Clint Eastwood is such an amazing actor.. he also directed/produced this movie… just awesome!! If you haven’t  seen it yet, i’d be putting it on your list!! Shows how ignorance can be changed, and really how giving love can be! I can’t say enough about this wonderful movie… don’t miss it!!

Also… I was super excited to step on the scale today and see another lb. gone!! That puts me at a grand total of 20lbs lost in 8 1/2 weeks!! I’m so proud of myself! *blush* I also decided to ditch my workout DVD’s for now and switch things up… so yesterday I ran for 35 minutes straight!! No stopping!! I’m amazed at how my health levels have changed over the course of 2 months.. I feel awesome, look much better, and have went from a sz.11 to a sz.7!! I still want to lose another 10lbs (maybe 15)  for sure & tone up more.. i’m 5′8″, so that’ll make me nice and lean! I have a very small frame, so I feel best at the lower end. Dh says no more than 10lbs, he wants some ‘curves’ at least he says.. hahaha!! So 10 it may be… He’s been sooo awesome & supportive of me!! I couldn’t do it without him… he bought me weights, a pedometer I really wanted, and is bringing me home new healthy foods & organic health drinks, etc.. to try! I’m lucky to have him!! Ok.. i’m done gushing about myself now… sorry… just had to share ’cause i’m so proud! lol!!

Another thing i’m super excited about… one of my best buds, Heidi, is opening up an online stamp store called “The Stamp Shoppe“!!! Featuring what stamps you ask!? MAGNOLIAS!!! And her Canadian prices are AMAZING and competitive to US prices!!! You CANNOT beat that!! You can see her new blinkie to the right side of my blog, and i’ll post more info tomorrow!! For now here’s a sneak peek of one of the absolutely adorable stamps she’ll be carrying… i’m not much of a stamper, but I do LOVE these sweet Magnolia’s… i’d buy them all if I could! haha!!!

Materials: K & CO Peyton pp, ribbon, etc… Magnolia Stamp, MM Stick Pin, Prima Blossoms, MAMBI & KaiserCraft Rhinestones.

Well.. i’m done rambling for today… I’ll be back tomorrow with something or other… Have a fabulous day & thanks for stopping by!

Happy Tuesday & ShortCuts-Sheetload!

Good morning ladies!  Did everyone have a nice night?? I didn’t do too much here, hung out with the kids, talked on msn, did my workout, etc… boring, boring.. lol! It looks like the sun is peeking out a bit, it’s been kinda gloomy here so far this morning, so would be lovely if the sun came out for the day! I’m hoping to get in a nice walk with the girls, then just the usual.. housework, kid stuff, working on a DT kit, etc… I was going to watch Gran Torino last night, but never got around to it, so i’m hoping to watch that tonight. I love Clint Eastwood, and get goosebumps just watching the trailer, so i’m expecting a fabulous movie!!!
