'Tis the Season to Be Freezin'

There are few things in this world that I love more than a great bargain. These snowy stamps are some of my recent bargains. A.C. Moore had an entire bin of snowy themed stamps for just 50 cents each. I bought several, and I can't put them down! The patterned paper is some from my stash. The organza ribbon is from the Offray ribbon outlet in Hagerstown, MD. The bling gems are from the Micheal's dollar spot. Inside, I stamped a snowman with the sentiment, "Tis the Season to Be Freezin'." Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

Easy and Elegant

I hope all my east coast friends are staying warm and toasty in this winter weather. According to the NOAA, 10 - 14 more inches of snow are on there way to us over the next couple of days. Add that to the 30 inches alreay out there, and we'll have 4 feet of snow! Wow! I'm taking advantage of all of this time off of school and I've turned my living room into a cardmaking factory. I like these cards for two reasons .... they were very fast and easy to make, and they look and feel very elegant. You can't tell from the second photo, but I carefully cut out the flower and used dimensionals to make it pop up from the card. Thanks for visiting my blog. For all of you Busy Bee Bloggers, I hope to blog hop around your blogs tonight and leave a lot of comments. I can't wait to check out all of your beautiful projects and inspirations. Stay warm, everyone!

I'm Back From Outer Space

Okay, so maybe I wasn't really in outerspace, but there were days it felt like it. I've been incredibly busy. My blog hasn't been a priority for quite some time now. I also find myself wondering if anyone reads my blogs. LOL

Anyhoo, here is my first card posting in two months. I'm also posting a picture of the inspiration: 30 inches of snow!!!!! :)

Sweet Scrapbooking Project

Here is an 8x8 layout of some photos I took at the 2008 Strawberry Shortcake Convention. 2008 was the first year that the convention had an official Show & Tell time for the attendees. I brought along a quilt that my mother made for me using the vintage Cut & Sew Strawberry Shortcake pillow dolls. It's one of my most precious and prized possessions.

I found the perfect paper for this album at Big Lots. It's DCWV paper that is just $5 per pack! I went back to get some more and it was completely sold out. I'm loving the Stampin' Up Photo Corner Punch. It's a simple way to highlight the photos and bring more interest to pages. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love to read your comments.

Blogger is Driving Me Crazy!

Here is the picture of the card that I soooooooo would like to be able to show you right side up, but Blogger keeps turning it on it's side. :(

Autumn Breezes

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought a simple autumnal card would hit the spot. :) For this card, I used scraps I had laying around and a tag from a K& Company box. I like the simplicity and elegance. It's not a very good photo, though, as the colors don't look right. In real life, the card base matches the ribbon and and tag perfectly. I hope to be a card making machine tomorrow. I only had to work two days this week. Yay! I tried to upload a beautiful card that I made, but Blogger keeps turning the picture on it's side and I can't figure out why. :(

Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Life Happens

The above picture is of a thank you card I made. It's simple, but I like it. The next picture is of Grandma and I, taken in February of this year.

This is my very first paper bag album. It was so easy that I want to make another one soon.

Grandma Thelma passed away last month. Although I know that she's in Heaven with Jesus, I miss her presence here terribly. I wish so much that I could hug her one more time or hold her beautiful hand in mine.

During the difficult times of her illness, her passing, and now, our sadness; I've become more accutely aware of the true friendships that I have in this world. The people who take the time to call, send a card, and just say, "Hey - I'm prayin' for ya'." So, I'm on a mission to make about 100 thank you cards to express my gratitude for all of those prayers and generous gifts.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Love and a Hug,

Rebecha
