Happy Thursday & Friday Sketchers #77…

Good morning ladies! How is everyones week going so far? Same old for me… i’ll spare you the boring details. lol! I did manage to get most of my L’il Scrappers kit done for my reveal on the 15th!! It’s a *GORGEOUS* kit and I can’t wait to show you what I created!! Here’s a little sneak peek of the kit contents for you…

Looks scrumptious doesn’t it!? Yum!! lol!!

Ok, today I have another Magnolia card to show you following this weeks Friday Sketchers #77 sketch… the sketch actually uses a snowflake instead of a star, but I wanted to use this sweet Bandage Edwin from The Little Stamp Shoppe, and since he’s  not overly ‘Christmas’y’ I made up my own rules and used a star for the background instead… Oh, on that note, the So Jolly/Under the Mistletoe stamps are in at The Little Stamp Shoppe!! So if you’ve had your eye on these stamps, you can grab them here! They are going FAST, so grab them while they’re hot!

This gorgeous paper is Scenic Route Liberty Line… love it!! I’m so bummed that Scenic Route has closed it’s doors… they’re one of my faves. I’ll have to hunt down some of the older lines and hoard it for future use… lol!

Materials: Copics & PrismaColors, Scenic Route Liberty Paper, Bazzill Swiss Dot CS, Cricut Expression & Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge, misc. brads, Stampin’ Up Label & Circle Punch, Rub-on (?).

And… one last reminder that DT call from The Little Stamp Shoppe ends on Friday!! So if you wanted to get in an application, better hurry!!

Well that’s it for today ladies.. i’ll be back tomorrow with something or other! Enjoy your day & thanks for stopping by!!

Good Morning ladies…

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good… everyones still on the mend here but this flu really knocked a lot out of my kidlets, even i’m worn out still! I did my workout for the first time yesterday in 2 weeks and could only go for about 25 minutes then felt horrible so stopped… My son went out last night to play football and came home feeling weak & shaky.. so needless to say i’ve cut off sports for another week for him. Ugh! I hope anyone who is dealing with the flu really takes it easy on themselves!

Anyways, today I have a “shabby” Magnolia card to show you.. this is TOTALLY NOT my style, but something made me reach for my ink and distress away… lol! This Blueberry Tilda is from The Little Stamp Shoppe, and is from the new Yummy for your Tummy Collection! The paper is the new Magnolia paper, I have to say, I really LOVE it!! Its textured, thick, and I love the soft patterns & colours.. it reminds me of Melissa Frances somewhat, and I love her stuff!! Check out all of Heidi’s Magnolia Paper Samplers, i’m sure you’ll love them!! And because of the 6×6 size, they can be sent dirt cheaply lettermail rate!! I love that!!

So what do you think of my ’shabby’ card? I much prefer my ‘clean’ cards…

Well that’s all for today ladies, have a fabulous day! And don’t forget, just a few days left for the Magnolia DT call at The Little Stamp Shoppe!! Get in your applications! We’re loving what we have so far!!

*On another note, if anyone has an Ipod Touch or Iphone and likes to play word games, download the new game app called “Words with Friends” then create a new game and search for me (Moralia) and we can have a game against each other!

Card Patterns #40

How was everyones day today? I had a nice day, had some running around to do and a LOT of housework from everyone being sick over the last couple weeks, I hung out with the kids and now i’m just relaxing watching What Happens in Vegas, SUCH a funny movie!! lol! I’ve seen it before but I needed a laugh… so this made the cut!

Anyways, today I have my Card Patterns card for the week to show you! Another Christmas card and I also used this weeks sketch for a card for my Brother-in-law… he turned 36 yesterday, so I made him this card and tucked a nice GC in it.. he’s an *awesome* BIL, and the kids love him to bits!

And the card for my BIL…

I made a little pocket for the gift card to sit in with some scraps… turned out good I think!

Well i’m off for the night ladies, back tomorrow with a Magnolia card! Enjoy your night!!
