A Better Day

Thank you everyone for your kinds words regarding the horrible day I had yesterday. Thank you to everyone's well wishes I had a good day. It started off rough but it quickly made a turn for the better. I'm a little upset this evening I went to place an online order to find out that I can't because the security code on the credit card is worn off as Jeff would say "from to much use". LOL! And the bank doesn't know the code for security purposes. I guess it was an order that wasn't ment to be. The good news is I work for the bank so I can get a rush on a new card. LOL! I just wanted to let everyone know today was a better day and tomorrow will be even better because its TGIF!!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend. I plan to scrap this weekend.

I want to especially thank Amy, you gave me the inspiration last night to make a card. LOL! Your post was echoing in my head about how I've been quiet this week and I kept saying I can't be quiet I have gotten off to a great start with my goals I need to keep it up. So a special thank you goes out to you. Thank you to Ellie because the last several days she has been wonderful she has listened to me rant. Gee I feel like I'm at the oscars LOL! Thank you Jeff for putting up with my attitude. He was being a sweet heart because I have been so cranky all I do is snap at him and he is so good he just gets up and walks away from me. Thank you thank you!

Have A Poppin Birthday

I was really cranky tonight because my job this week has been very stressful. I want to make sure I stick to my goals so tonight I made another birthday card. Not really sure if I'm liking it or not, could just be the mood I'm in. When your cranky and your don't doesn't go well don't expect to make a card with smooth sailing. Even though this is a basic card what a time I had making it. Hopefully Friday I will look back at this post and be able to laugh.

About my card. I used the House Mouse Stamp "Poppin Good Birthday". The popcorn paper I had in my stash, I found it tonight when I began to organize my paper (DH got me a Paper Rack for my b-day and it arrived yesterday). I pop dotted the main image and the word Poppin on the saying. Along the side I used yellow and white fibers (seems to be my new addiction).

I'm half way through my goals for this week, just have to work on a layout this week which I will save for the weekend. I will not attempt a layout tonight. LOL!

Tag I'm it 2 times!

I have been having a stressful week at work. I was really excited and it cheered it me when I came home to find out that I have been tagged twice by Michelle and Dawn.

I have to list 7 things about myself that you may or may not already know. Here it goes

* I can live on Spaghetti

* People think myself or my sister were adopted because there are 17 years difference between us but we do have the same birth mom and dad

* I am a huge disney fan especially mickey mouse

* I work for a bank and I am horrible at saving even though at one time my job was to help people save - hey I don't practice what I preach LOL!!

* I am a country girl but growing up always wished I lived in the big city - thought if I lived in the city life wouldn't be so boring. When I was younger my Uncle took me to the Bronx for the day and I quickly changed my mind that the city life wasn't for me.

* I hate doing dishes. On any given day that you come to my house there will be dishes piled in the sink. My motto is why do dishes when you can stamp. LOL! DH loves that one!

*I'm a kid stuck in a big girl body. For example when we went to Disney we waited patiently our turn (sometimes over an hour) to meet the characters and get an autograph.

Thank you Michelle and Dawn for tagging me so the next 7 people I will tag are (now the hard part):
Amy, Wendy, Bella Carta, Jennifer, Diaries of a Stamper, Shaz X, Meayla

Sunday Scrapper Week of 1/6/08

This week's Sunday Scrapper question is Do you prefer to stick with only big name-brand supplies (Creative Memories, Stampin' Up, etc.) or do you usually buy less expensive supplies? No. I buy what ever I like regardless of the name. I was never really a brand name shopper for anything. I do have some name brand supplies like CTMH or SU but that is only because I like that particular stamp or particular paper. Years from now when people are looking through my scrapbooks or when I give a card they are not like Oh look at that page she used Brazil paper and a SU stamp. The only person who is going to know what brands I used is me and maybe my blogging friends when I post a creation. LOL! I am easily content going to the dollar store and buying their paper or stamps. The dollar store has a lot of cute scrapbooking items. The only problem I have is if its named Clearance I have to have it regardless of what it is. I don't want there to be a time that I am working on a page and I think oh yeah that embellishment in Michael's would be perfect to go to their store and find out its been clearanced and no longer offered. Jeff tries very hard to keep me away from clearance aisles.

This Weeks Goals:

To complete a layout of some sort either disney or of Buddy (the dog)
To complete another card of sorts (valentine, birthday, or just because)

Have a wonderful scraping and stamping week!

Sunday Scrapper - Goals Complete for the Week

This week on Sunday Scrapper I set a goal to complete one card and to complete a layout from our 2006 trip. I completed the disney layout, my Mary Poppins page and I completed 3 cards. I am excited and hope to continue on this path. Hope everyone else is sticking to their goals. I will be back tomorrow to set another goal for this coming week!

Howdy Partner Card

This cowboy stamp is just the cutest. I purchased him from All That Scraps. I colored him in with colored pencil, I really need to get copic markers. The saying "Howdy Partner" was done on the computer with the Wild West font that I downloaded for free. The fiber on the side of the card isn't black like shown in the picture it is more of a marroon color to match the card.

Cupcake Birthday Cards

I made this cards for no one in particular, just trying to have cards on hand when birthdays come up. The cupcakes are from the cricut doodlecharms cart. The candle is actually I brad that I had. The pattern paper is from Tim Coffey 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 Birthday paper pad. Its hard to tell in the picture but the cupcakes were pop dotted.
