My First Bloggers RAK

Oh my goodness I just received my very first blogger's RAK card in the mail yesterday. When I looked through the mail I must say when I saw the card my heart fluttered; I thought could it be, could it be.... YES! it was my very first BRAK and it is beutiful! Thank you so much Nancy for being my first, I now know how it feel to received some kindness. Let me tell you it couldn't of happened at a better moment I really needed a pick me up.

I quickly went to Nancy's blog site http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com/ and checked it out the first thing I noticed was her picture on the web site holding a cute little dog named Milo. Well she had this post on her blog about *Do You Have A Life?* well at a glace I must not. So I decided to do this for my TAG that I receved that everyone has already done. (don't work I am in the process of still posting that information) Nancy and Dawn I hope you don't mind.

OK that is not bad right...... I just love movies.

My Mother's Day!!

Well I have 2 girls Trinity Sierra and Meadow Skye (can you tell I love their names). I finished my card for Beate this morning just as my 4 year old (Trinity) comes in my craft room. I showed her mommy's card and she loved it. She wanted to do one just like it. I had everything still out and well wanted to correct some of the things I wasn't totally happy about with mine. (Notice no HOT PINK and no starfish friends.) Well Trinity was not happy about that. She wanted the hot pink and told be we forgot the other starfish. I told her it was ok that we didn't do it exactly like my card and lets try something new. So with her on my right leg we tried to create this card. I decided I wanted to try color pencils (prismacolor) and gamsol to see how that worked on water color paper. Well it was ok however again trinity was not happy we had a different blue. Mommy colored the crab and guess what..... Meadow comes walking in she wants on my left leg. I had both my girls on my lap and we were all working on this card. Trinity colored the shrimp, Meadow colored the starfish. Then they wanted to put the eyes on the crab and shrimp. Once they did that they were done and left mommy to finish the card. Oh Trinity did stamp the base card with the itty bitty background from Stampin Up.

In the brief moment of time I have a card that will last me a lifetime of memories. Thanks girls, I love you!!!

It is a Big Deal

Well this is actually my first card I have not copied any image placement from. See since I only started stamping in January (yes I mean I am totally new at this stuff) I really didn't have that much guidance on how to do this. Yes I have a Stampin Demonstrator however I really haven't given her much of a chance to show me anything since I signed on under her. Anyway I have been so busy with my family and work that I really haven't worked on starting a business.

Anyway back to what I was getting at Denise (SD) told me about a web site Splitcoast stampers. I checked out the web site and found some great stuff. I ended up clicking on a lady there that had a blog and loved her blog. Yes I already told you about Laura aka Lu LUs corner well she has some great stuff you should check it out. Anyway she has opened this blog world up to me. You see she has links from her site to other bloggers and they have links to other bloggers, etc. Well now I have my own blog because I didn't want to feel left out of the blogging world. *wink* Now I see that I have been tagged. Well I see everyone has been tagged at least twice so I will have to say I am going to wait to start the tag game again. I will say I am honored to be tagged and I will give out the information in the next couple of days. I will also give out my favorite blogs I go to on a daily basis.

Well I now subscribe to.... well I don't know how many. A LOT! I acutally subscribe to this lovely lady's site you all know her I am sure Beate. Well I read her post last night about "It's a big deal" and YES it is a big deal. Her site has over 200,000 hits, wow!! She is giving a way some great things when you place a card on your blog from her the layout in the post. I looked at it and said I can do something..... well at least let me try so I can maybe win some ribbon and be honored to have one of her personal cards. So I sat down and stared at the craft table..... ..... then I said ok I am going to use a stamp set I have not touched yet. I love this little crab so I decided to use the Crab and company set from Stampin up. Ok so next I said what colors. I am not good with colors at all so I said ok I am going to pick a 2 colors I haven't touched yet so that was Ballet Blue and Creamy Caramel. I just bought some water color paper from Hobby Lobby that I drove 45 miles to get. (I will tell that story later.) I used the blender pens and water colored everything you see. Well don't you just love the HOT PINK. I am joking I could not believe that was the color I got using pixie pink. I tried to make up for it with the HOT PINK shell. I think is came out good for my first attempt at doing a layout with no pictures. lol

Anyway here is my card Beate! Please pick me I am addicted to May Arts Ribbon.

Oh by the way if you are addicted to ribbon check out Jody's site. She has it worst than me... right now.
