Is it Possible????

Its 3 days after our last card exchange group got together......and look at this, I'm blogging about it....already!, it can't be possible that I'm keeping up-to-date with the blog...time will only tell. I did think about posting the cards yesterday but I had posted already 2 things, so why not save one for today. Our challenge for the group was to take some scraps from the stores scrapbox, the layout and image had to be the same, but the scraps had to be used.....some of the group got full sheets and were able to make cards all the same, while others were all different. I don't know about the rest of the group but it did get me thinking about all the scraps that I seem to be hoarding....for what I don't know, but with Christmas card season upon us I may just have to take another look at the scrapbox that I have...might end up making some funky Christmas cards this year. Here is a picture of the cards.....as I said before some were all different, so this is just one group and the feature card of the month.

Packing and Re-Packing

Okay so this is packing round two, I am now on packing round and think I may have got it under control, will post after I try again this evening

"Survivor" night - season 19 : week 5

I'm way ahead of the game now......its only Tuesday and I will have last weeks "Survivor" night blogged and still have time to get ready for this weeks night....might even get a blog or 2 extra in....hmmmmmm or maybe not....what busy things I must have to do instead.
Well "Survivor" was again at my house.....I made a pork chop dish with apples and stuffing with cranberries (mixed in the stuffing).....and I found out that cardzgal doesn't like meat and fruit together...note to self....don't make that again or any other fruit and meat dishes. For dessert I made (yes I did-not like last week) a Dutch Apple Pumpkin Crisp....strange combination but it was quite good.....will have to make that again. What is Russell's problem....if he keeps going off on people like he did with Liz....they are gonna catch on and he will be going BYE-BYE....oh how that will make me so sad....NOT!!!!!!! I really don't know who should have gone this week...not Ashley....I say RUSSELL....why can't they see through him....he makes me so mad!
Calm....calm....breathe....on to the cards - cardzgal used a House Mouse stamp, coloured with Prismacolor pencil and blended with gamsol,used a nestabilities scallop die, the candy diecut is from the Cricut cutting system. For my card I used a unmounted stamp that I purchased at a stamp show that was held in Hamburg, N.Y. last fall and the company name eludes me, I used versamark and clear embossing powder, used american tag corners and some prima flowers and baubles and the Martha Stewart fir punch, added some Frosted Lace stickles to the branches to give them a frosted look.

"Survivor" night - season 19 : week 4

Well all I seem to do is try and catch-up with the blogging....I just don't know how I can not keep up-to-date.....I must be very busy doing other things.....just don't know what they can be....the time just seems to fly by....I need more hours in a day.....don't we all!
So week 4 of "Survivor" was held at my house....I made Mac and Cheese, with a salad for dinner and for dessert it was an Apple Crumble Pie(store bought-I do better next week). As for the show....Russell still has to go, don't like him - no way! Myself I thought Monica should have gone for her performance in the challenge, but Yasmine was very lazy around camp.....and her comments to just about everyone and especially on her visit to the rival tribe were uncalled for.....glad she is off the island!
Our cards - cardzgal used a BoBunny stamp, sentiment stamp from imaginisce, spellbinders nestabilities, quickutz damask die and a fir branch punch and some baubles. For my card I used a cuttlebug embossing folder-snowdots, quickutz snowman die and the sentiment stamp from hampton arts.

"Survivor" night - season 19 : week 3

Alrighty now, onto last weeks "Thursday night ritual". We got together at cardzgal's house. Chicken fingers and roasted potatoes and salad was for dinner, with a delicious, tart Lemon pie for dessert----YUMM-Oooooo!!!!
Okay so I'm happy that Ben is gone, thats one down and Russell to go, to bad its not a call in and vote for the "Survivor" to go....he would have been long gone on the first night....in my opinion. We'll just have to wait and see what happens tonight.

Last week cardzgal used the new stampendous stamps coloured with prismacolor pencils and did some paper tearing; and for my card I used stamps from TooMuchFun( I purchased them at the Rubber Stamp show in Novi, Michigan last year), I used chalk and shimmer paints and did some heat embossing, everything was cut out and popped, added a ribbon bow and some liquid pearls and the sentiment is a "peel-off"

Maybe One Day I will be Organized Enough

Well its Thursday and its the 4th show into "Survivor" season and I haven't posted a card yet.....whats the matter with me? I thought after getting all caught up with the card exchange cards I would be keeping this blog up-to-date....bad blogger, bad blogger!

Okay, so whats been happening? Cardzgal and I are getting together as usual for our Thursday night "Dinner and Survivor and card exchange". We didn't do a card on the first show.....we just weren't that organized. The second show in we had dinner at cardzgal's and it was also my birthday that night, so I'll post the birthday card that cardzgal made and our exchange cards(christmas themed for the whole season)

For my birthday card - a Bella Stamp was used

For our exchange cardzgal used stamps from Imaginisce, fun flock, flower soft and the oval nestabilities and added some wiggly eyes; and for my card I used a stamp from Inkadinkado, a cuttlebug embossing folder; I chalked a bit of the image and distressed the edges and added some ribbon and popped the image.
