As Promised.

Here is my card for June Aloha Rak.  The challenge was to create with flowers.  And the images is Tink from The Greeting Farm.

Today was a better day weather wise - in the fact there was no snow...yet!

Working with the bright colors and flowers on my card definitely picked up my mood!  If I can't see flowers outside - at least I can see them here!

My oldest nephew, Chris  who just turned 21 - was in 'Uncover The Cure' run for Cancer yesterday and he was hoping to do his 10K in 57 minutes and he ran it in about 48 minutes.  I don't have a pic to post yet - but because we donated the most - we got to pick out what his outfit would be.  Most  of the runners wear some sort of underwear.....so needless to say - I went shopping at Lasenza and got the cutest little bunny outfit for him to wear.  And true to his word - he wore it!  I'll get the pictures posted as soon as I charge my battery camera!

I'll have another post this week as my niece turns 3 next weekend and of course need to do her card and we have some friends that are moving away so I'll try and get their card done as well!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

still here.....

Just a little note to say that I'm still here....just been crazy. Don't have any new images to post - yet - but will have something done by the weekend.

We had snow again yesterday.....very frustrating!  The Farmer's Almanac said we were supposed to have a hotter summer than normal.....All I can say is I HOPE SO!  We've really only had a couple of days of decent weather this 'spring'....Our trees have finally come into full bloom and we're starting to get some flowers - but then we get snow....

We've had a couple of decent weekends and one of the weekends we were in BC for golfing weekend for a friends's 4oth birthday and it was a great weekend - also very hot!  And it was quite nice to touch my clubs again!

We were in Vegas again last weekend.  And they're having an amazing spring.  It was 36 + degrees c. every day - too hot to even stay in by the pool!  But we had a great time!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to have another posting for tomorrow!

Crazy Day for Stampin'

Well - welcome to May Long Weekend in Calgary.....you never know what you're gonna get - weather wise that is!  Yesterday it was above 20 and I have a fairly badly burned face to prove it!  Golfing 18 holes with forgetting to put sunscreen on my face is never a good idea!  And today - when we woke up - snow on the ground and a high of 4 degrees!!  AAAGH!  But hey - because it was not so nice to get out - I decided to catch up on some of my stamping and blogging!  This card I made for Debbie.  Nancy's friend Domenica's mom, Debbie is not feeling very well and Nancy has asked for Thinking of You cards to help brighten Debbie's day.  This is my card I made for her - with a little note saying she is in my thoughts, as is Domenica.

This card I made for my boss who went on vacation with her daughter and grandchildren to Disneyland.  An appropriate themed card - I have Disney DP and the Tinkerbell punch I got as a gift from some friends who were just back from Disneyland.

And finally, my Christmas Challenge submission for Tracy's Christmas Challenge.  I made two sets as the first set I made "Let It Snow" I really didn't like how these turned out.  Too basic.  So decided to get my head out of the snow and make another batch which I like much better.  The challenge was the main image had to be a sentiment and you had to use pink.  The colors aren't as bright in the pictures as the really are. 

So all in all a very productive day for me.  And the cataloging of my stamps proved to be a success in all of the cards I made.  I simply looked through my book of images and went and grabbed the CD case associated with it.  Definitely made my life very easy!!  So definitely made it all worth it!

UGLY CARD UPDATE!

Once again - still not sure why - but the add comment button is not showing!  If you put your cursor over the area beside the date at the bottom of the post - you'll be able to click into the comment section!

UGLY CARD UPDATE! Sorry for not posting this sooner - but the Ugly Card made it's way to Hawaii and Jen received it and she had an absolutely amazing idea!  If you happen to receive the Ugly Card - take a picture of the card where ever you are and send it to me!  I'll then post it as part of the tracking of the card!  Thanks for the suggestion Jen!!  

SPRING CLEANING!

Not sure why - but my comment buttons are not showing on the screen  but if you put your cursor over the area where they should be - it's still there!!  

Spring has finally sprung here and time for Spring Cleaning!!  Decided to search around for a new background and found this one!  Yup - still Winnie - don't you just love him?

This is the card that I've done for my May Aloha RAK!  I really like how this turned out - the stamped image on the back ground really adds something special to it.  The colors don't really come out in the picture - but I really quite like it!

I've also started to organize my stamps.  I took the plunge and unmounted all my SU stamps!  The amount of space that I've saved - it's amazing!  It was really quite easy and now that I have them all in CD cases - I have way more room.  

I was also directed to a blog( - sorry - can't remember which one) where she has created a log of all her stamps - so decided to do the same thing!  Crazy  I know - but I think it's a great idea!!  

And in the grand scheme of things - I don't have as many stamps as others so thought now would be a good time to start!!  Especially for sentiment stamps - I always seem to have issues finding the right sentiment - but once they've all been cataloged - it'll be easy to find exactly what I'm looking for!

I've ended up with 62 CDS cases full of stamps plus a few block stamps that I'm going to leave on their blocks.  I'm just under 1/3 way done cataloging them all.  It takes a while.....but I'll be very happy once this is done!!  I'll keep ya posted on my progress.

Spring??

Unbelievable!  I think....think....spring has finally arrived!  It's been absolutely beautiful this weekend!  We had our kick off tournament this weekend for my Ladies Ball and it was a perfect weekend to play ball....didn't play perfect - but we had a good time and got rid of some built up winter rust....my legs are feeling it!

And finally my Christmas Challenge for Tracy's challenge.  A few days late - but done!   And speaking of Tracy - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!  Tracy and Hubby 

Allan are celebrating their anniversary today - 8 Years for them!  Congrats!!

Since we bowed out of the tournament quite early - I'll be working on my Aloha RAK later today so I'll hopefully have the done and ready to go for tomorrow!

Thanks for stoppin' by!!

Long Time No Blog!

Well - it's been a while since my last post - and really don't have an excuse.  Really getting tired of winter - more snow over the weekend and we're supposed to start ball on Monday.  Don't think that's going to happen!

I've been somewhat creative and need to get a little more ambition to work on my assignments!  Need to get my cards done For Tracy's Christmas challenge and I've got My Rak Partner from Jen for this month - so I need to get going!

I've visited Debbie's blog - she's celebrating a year of blogging by giving away amazing blog candy - you should check it out!

Here are a few cards I've done:

This is one of the cards I made for my friends little girl who was going to Disneyland.  This is Sydney's card - She is a definite princess.  This image is actually on the inside of the card. 

This Card is the card I made for Kylie - who is a Tinkerbell fanatic!  Her favorite color is green because Tink wear's green!  This is also a flip card where the image is on the inside.  

  

This is a card I made for my boss who left today for The Dominican Republic on holiday.  Well actually - her daughter is getting married there this week so they've been looking forward for this for a while now - and she'll be on a warm sunny beach - while we'll be shoveling our snow - again!!

I'm hoping to have my Christmas challenge cards up by next weekend!!
