a layout for today.

I was going to post a card over the past couple of days, but I had an issue with my computer recognizing my pictures or something *~* Anyway, I opted to post a layout that was already on my  laptop from before.

Just some cute pictures I had of Miss  Emma from early before she was even one. Goodness, I can't believe she is already 3!!!

Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am :) If all goes well, we'll make it to a new church in this area, buy a little heater for my new crafting room, and get our Christmas decorations up.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Smiles.

We went to the dentist today. I say "we", but Miss Emma was the one with an appointment. She had a nasty cavity :(, but she really did a great job. The dentist said most kids her age are too hysterical upset once they get a Novocaine shot that they can't even finish... Miss Emma did shed some tears, but she sat still and let the dentist finish.

So here is a picture of my little trouper :) I love that  impish little smile, it is so "Emma" lol.

I do have a card too :)

I really like how this one turned out. I *love* this stamp set--Larger than Life from Papertrey Ink. One of my absolute all time faves. The sentiment is from Wplus9.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Has your week started off well? Mine is actually going better than expected :)

So soon?

I know! Can you believe I am posting another card already? heehee :) Since I have managed to get some stamping time for most days this past week, maybe it is a sign of things to come?

I like this card :) These stamps are really fun to use. I like finding different ways to line up the vases :) All the stamps are from Papertrey Ink. The cardstock is Neenah Solar white.

Thanks SO much for stopping! I hope you have a great day.  I'm hoping to get to bed early tonight :)

and another card.

I have another older card. I really liked how it turned out, so I actually sent it in to a couple of magazines. They never seemed to like it though, so I thought I would share it here :)

I like how the wood grain and red just pop on the white :) Really clean and simple. The stamps are from Papertrey Ink.

Still getting adjusted here. Things seem to be getting a little more "normal" everyday. Thanks SO much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!!

again...

I know it has been longer than forever this time...sorry. It really has just seemed to take awhile to adjust. I am finally seeming to be able to work some stamping time into our schedule. And it makes me happy :) I haven't gotten a chance to actually photograph anything I have made the past couple of days yet though, so the card for today is pretty old. Maybe beginning of this year? I wasn't sure how I felt about it, so I never posted it. But here it is anyway :)

It's ok, just not what I was imagining when I was making it. The flower and the sentiment are from Gina K.

Thanks so much for stopping by--really! I hope you are having a wonderful week :)

Hello :)

I am still here. Well, actually not really, lol. We finished moving, and I am now living in Kyushu. (One of the smaller islands at the "bottom" of Japan). I have moved a lot--but this one was tougher. It had been a long time since I moved somewhere you couldn't just drive to. We've been here a week now, and are finally getting settled.

This is a card from several weeks ago. My stamping stuff is all unpacked and set up, so I hope to make some new things soon though :)

Thanks SO much for stopping by!! I'm really hoping to be able to post more regularly now. At least it shouldn't be another 2 weeks anyway :)

it's starting...

to look a little bit more like we are moving. But definitely not like we are moving in a week(!) I finally think I have phone company and internet "stuff" dealt with for our new place though, so that is a relief.

Anyway, here is a card for today.

And it is actually one I made just this week :) It was really fun to get back into stamping again. I stamped the butterflies on the base, and then again on white and colored them in and trimmed them out. It made the colors pop a lot more and added dimension.

Thanks SO much for stopping by today. I'm afraid my posting will still be sporadic for a while...but a least we SHOULD have internet all set up when we move :)
