oh rainy day.....

.
It is absolutely awful outside today....so I thought a card would make it better.





Here is the close up of the Bella. She was stamped with Momento ink on Bella's Bestest paper. I coloured her with Copic markers, and chalked around the image.

~enjoy~

I'm a total Klutz...

This weekend started out pretty great. Got some cards done friday night, got to sleep in Saturday morning. Then.....I walked down the stairs....

That's right, I totally fell down the stairs. I even managed to wake everyone up. Not the most pleasant way to wake someone up. Luckily I walked away with some really awful bruising, a sore little toe and a very sore back.

Now, to the good stuff. I got this stamp when I was in Kitchener. She is a Greeting Farm. Her name is Cheeky Glamour.





I used some scrap black and white paper I had in my bin. I think it is Basic Grey. I colored her using copics.

well, hope you like her.

enjoy!!

so many cards....so little time....

Hi Everyone!!!

It has been WAY too long since I last posted.....

Here's the low down on what has happened since...oh WOW...I didn't think it was that long....March 1, 2010.

I have been very bad with not keeping this up to date.

So here goes....

I bought a new car. YAY. A little dark silver Nissan Versa Hatchback. I LOVE it. It's so cute.

I went to The Workshop's weekend retreat from April 16-18, 2010 in Stratford. A little change from our usual Collingwood, however, it was a great new experience. My friend Carmen and I drove down together. We spent sometime in Stratford before starting to crop. We went to a little burger and fry place on the main street called Boomers. It's really great. Burgers are good, and the BESTEST thing: if they don't make it there they get it locally. YAY. love the local support.

Here is where we cropped. It was in the Guthrie Room in the Hotel. There were about 50 ladies that attended the event. I cropped with some of my SISTAH's, Carmen, Carol, Elaine, Carrie, and Sharrie.

Here is my desk. Do you think I could get any more on it.....hahahahaha I had a huge laugh looking at this picture after....can you see it? what i was laughing at.....my Timmie's coffee. As any true Canadian can attest to, you day doesn't start with out that morning's timmies coffee.

We had a great time. We even went out to Scrapfest. It was such an amazing experience. For all those out there that couldn't make it....there's one coming to the toronto area. YAY!



Here is Carmen, Carol and myself, under the Scrapfest banner.

I am going to post some cards tonight....


STAY TUNED....

Proud to be Canadian...

OUR COLORS MAY BE RED AND WHITE, BUT OUR HEARTS RUN PURE GOLD!!

I love being a Canadian! With the end of the Olympic games and the amazing goal by Sidney Crosby yesterday in the hockey match, I was extremely proud of my country. We have so much talent here in Canada. It's great to see all areas come together to celebrate, the athletes, artists, builders, and the companies that donated their time and supplies, it goes to show you how we can come together.

Here is one of the cards I created on Saturday at the Diva Crop. The stamp is called Rabbits of the Round Table and is by House Mouse. As soon as I saw this stamp I fell in love with it. I coloured the image with copic markers.



Here is the close up of the bunnies.

been awhile

Wow, this last month has been very busy for me.

My friend Veronica hosted the Diva Crop yesterday. I had so much fun. I also got to visit with some friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Julie from Sassy Scrapping was there with her store. If you guys haven't checked out her site, it's great!!

I sat with Marg, Barb, Sue, Elaine, and Lisa. We had an absolutely fun time.

Now, here's a card to get you ready for St.Patrick's Day.

Enjoy

been away for awhile...

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!

a new year, a new card

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:
