The Bossy Group Halloween Challenge...

Today I finally finished a Halloween Challenge over at The Bossy Group...yahoo group for embossing...We were sent a few embossed pieces...the ghost, the pumpkin, and a cat (didn't have room for him) and we were to create a card with them...I had a hard time coming up with something...but today while I was putting new contact paper under my sink...it just popped into my head so I ran upstairs to the Memory Cottage and got to work!! I love that!! I used Lasting Impressions Stencil for the Haunted House...its actually a cute cottage but I think the black makes it "Haunted" and then for the fence I used Martha Stewart's punch...which I love!!! Everything is up on dimensionals except the fence!!

Enjoy!!

I Got A Job!!

Well its official...I got a job!! Its Part-time...but its exactly what I was looking for...and actually I wasn't looking at all...they called me!! Woo Hoo!! I had interviewed for the company last spring but I didn't get the job...but now they are looking for some extra help and the lady that interviewed me kept my resume and gave me a call!! Hooray!! I will be doing Clinical work and Supervising...so excited...the best part is that I will be using my Dietetics Background which is awesome!! I will be a Dietetic Technician for a Company that has "small houses" for elderly residents and also "rehab houses"...instead of the Elders living in a nursing home facility...these are actual homes where 10 elders live and have nursing staff and nurse aides there to assist them!! I will be responsible for clinical charting, educating the staff on sanitation and safety and nutritional information, making sure the menus the elders choose are nutritionally sound, etc...!! I am soooo excited and did I mention the pay is way more than I expected!! Also I will probably be working more hours after the first of the year!!
I will be posting on how its going!!
Now off to Create Something!!!

Magnolia Time!!

Hey Everybody!! Finally got a chance to play with my Magnolia Stamps!! This little guy reminds me of my boys soooo much!! I made this card to give to the boys teachers!! I'm not going to even get into the trouble I had with this card...have you ever had one of those projects where it took forever and everything you did either came out crooked or something screwed up...Ugggg....Anyway...I'm happy with the end result!! I used my watercolor pencils to color my boy angel in...which came out sooooo cute!! They (the ladies over at MAGNOLIA-licious) told me that you get so attached to these images after you color in your first one!! They were sooo right...I'm headed over to Diana Cricks new online store http://www.magnoliastamps.us/ to buy some more from my wishlist!!
Have a Great Day!!

Fun Flowers

Here is a Card front that I did for a swap at Scrappin in Toledo. Of course I used all Lasting Impressions products here. I don't have the template number here at the puter...but if you would like it...just ask!! LOL!! I absolutely just love the way this turned out!! I love layering the embossed flowers...I guess I better get busy and make myself another one of these!! What a great hello card this would make!!

TAC Peek-A-Boo

Hello Everybody!! I finally got around to making my girlfriend a card...she just had a baby boy!! I also killed two birds with one stone...did a sketch challenge from one of my favorite bloggers...Heather Scott at Oz-somestamps. She is a TAC Angel and I love her work!!

I used the Peek-A-Boo set from TAC and the paper is from the DCWV baby boy stack and the cute stitched circles are from the Mini Monogram Cricut Cartridge. The "Oh Boy" stamp is from K&Co.

Well I'm off to write a quick note to my friend and get this card in the mail.

Enjoy!!
