Hello Ladies,

Sorry I have been away from my blog lately. I have been studying for my paralegal licensing exam that I wrote yesterday. WHEW!! It’s over, now I have to wait for the results to see how I did.

Ok. So Close to my Heart is giving away a free Felicity Collection Kit every day for the month of January to celebrate National Papercrafting Month. Click HERE to access the blog. All you have to do is comment each day and you are entered. It’s that easy. Just don’t forget.

Also, we are hosting a Crop for Heart on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 10am to 9pm. This will be hosted at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Newmarket. It's going to be so much fun. For more information you can either leave a message here and I will send you the flyer, or you can email Carol at ctaggio72@rogers.com

Cheers!

Hello Ladies,

Hello 2010!! Hope everyone had a great new year's.

I had a very interesting day today. While I was on lunch I was reading the paper. I came across the obituaries. On a whim I went through them. Wouldn't you know it...I found my dad's name!! Not just his first and last but the same middle name....it was disturbing....so of course I sent it to my mom. She certainly enjoyed it.

Well here's my card for today. Hope you like it!!!



and here is the close up of the little girl:

Good Morning,

I haven't been on lately much as we are getting ready for Christmas at our house. We had two parties this past weekend and I had tons of fun. On friday night we had the guys and their partners over for drinks and finger foods. There was so much food. I had a great time. Saturday we had our old neighbours and my aunt and uncle over for dinner. We had Chicken piccata, scalloped potatoes, steamed carrots and for dessert blueberry white chocolate bread pudding with ameretto cream sauce. OMG!! it was so good. We gave everyone a cracker on their place settings. I got a golf counter, it was so funny. I didn't even know what it was, I had to read the instructions.

Well I am looking forward to seeing my family in the coming days!! I plan to post some cards tomorrow that I have done over the last week.

Well I hope you all have a great holidays!!!

I found this new stamp company called Darcie's. They make the cutest penguin stamps.

I especially like their penguins in a cup of cocoa.



I used some leftover paper that I had in my stash. I coloured my image with copic markers. I added three Bella baubles under the sentiment. I finished the image with loose glitter. I think this image is so cute.

Here is the upclose of the image I used.



Doesn't it make you want a cup of cocoa?

until next time....

Good evening ladies,

I got a new Lulu from Stamping Bella, her name is Bessie. She is adorable. Hope you like her.

For the card I used bits of Basic Grey papper I had lying around.I coloured Bessie with copic markers. I coloured the grass and the blue behind her with pencil crayons. I added some sparkle to the flowers using the gelly roll clear glitter pen. It is the best pen.

Here is her close up.



Isn't she cute.
