Good morning everyone!  
Hope you have plans for a fabulous weekend! 
If your looking for some inspiration this weekend join me at this years 
I'm already in my craft room, Ed is snapping photos of me and I'm off and stamping!  

This is some of our attempt at getting one good picture, and then not agreeing on which one is best;) 

Yup, this is me, right out of bed and in my sparkly skully t shirt and flower pants:)  

Behind me you can see just some of my PTI buttons, ribbons and ink. 
And of course my iPad where all of my PTI stamping friends live.  
Ed jokes that I carry all my friends around with me.  
Makes me feel strong;)


This one he made me laugh at his attempt to get me to smile.  
Gotta love my photographer!

Finally was able to get my video to upload.  
Here is me in my craft room.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge

Helo everyone! 

It just so happens that today's card share meets the challenges for both Simon Monday Challenge 
The Monday challenge is to use die cuts.  Which for this card I used both MFT and Spellbinders dies.  


Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge

I didn't realize you couldn't put more then one card in a post to link to the Simon Says Blog challenge so just posting my second card here again:)

Happy Thursday!

Hope you have fun and exciting plans for the weekend.  I'm planning on enjoying as much of whats left of summer as I can!  I've already started switching into Halloween mode.  I think I may decorate my house soon.  At least start getting the fall colored stuff out.

This summer my husband added a little lift to the jeep along with some snazzy new wheels.  The rain hasn't been cooperating so we haven't had the top off much, but I'm still holding out that we might get one more good weekend in.



Now back to our regularly scheduled card post.  How about a bit of green.  Green tends to be one of my favorite colors.  I made these 2 cards for Dare to Get Dirty at Split Coast stampers, and they both used quite a bit of green.  I love this little paper clip.  I keep looking for them but can't seem to find them anywhere!

This one I stamped my own background paper with the same color I stamped the focal image.  I really like how it turned out.

I'm entering these cards in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge
The challenge was to make a monochromatic project.  

That's it for me today, see you next week!

Work Space Wednesday

Hi all, 
Just checking in from my disaster of a craft room
 and thought I would share with you what I'm working on today.  

Cutting table

My cutting table is where I'm adding the finishing touches to the altered match boxes I'm making for a swap at 2 peas.
For this swap everyone is making a Halloween themed box with an assigned number. 

Stamping Station
 This is my stamping area where I stamp the spider and add his legs.

Finished Match Boxes
And these are what I have finished so far.  I have 17 more to go.  
I greatly underestimated the amount of paper these little spiders would take.  
Now i have to come up with something close to finish them.  
Wish me luck!  

What's on your work space today?
