Happy New Years to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Pics.

I thought I would share a couple of pictures from this holiday season.....my upstairs tree with the Santa theme....and our cute little dog - Eydie....waiting for Christmas....she gets more impatient every year.
Do you make New Years resolutions.....I have one.......hopefully I can keep it.....can you guess?
I know - you all said "to blog on a regular basis".....your right! Whats your resolution for 2010?

I get to watch another season of "Survivor".....YEAH!!!

Okay I'm happy that Russell did not win....and what a big BABY!!!!! pouting because he didn't.....it made me even more determined that he didn't deserve the title of winner......if you can't lose gracefully then you really don't deserve to be the winner...."Grow up Russell and be the little man that you think you are!....So who thinks he'll be on the next "Survivor"?....You may hear me scream from where ever you are....I really don't like him.

Anyway, here are the cards we did for the last 2 episodes of "Survivor", plus I did an extra one for the last episode without telling cardzgal.



Hope everyone had a nice Christmas with your families and friends. Enjoy the rest of this festive season.

Happiest Christmas Holidays to Everyone!!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Very Happy New Year to you all!

Yes I know I haven't blogged for a bit and there has been so much going on, but the Christmas season seems to keep everyone soooooooooooooo busy! So I'm going to do a couple of posts to get up to date. First post will be for the last card exchange we did for this year. It was a sketch layout for a card. Here is the sketch, it is from Splitcoaststampers.

And here is all of our cards.

"Survivor Night"-season 19, weeks 12 and 13

Well back on track on which episodes I'm posting about our little card exchange. I just don't know where the time goes I thought I was caught up, it seems like just yesterday......or maybe two weeks ago that I posted...and that was for three weeks of "Survivor" nights. The last two weeks of "Survivor" have been at my house, the first week I picked up Mary Brown's chicken and taters and last week I made a Lasagna that was from the PC collection....can't say it was the best I have ever had...for dessert we had an apple cranberry pie for the first week and last week I did up some Molten Chocolate cakes and some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. It seems like every week Russell gets closer to winning....I will scream.....I do give him credit he has been one of the smarter players, its like he has watched and studied every "Survivor" season....but I still do not want him to win. I liked John the rocket scientist, he played the game smart also......and Dave had to leave cause they don't want to get on Shambo's bad side......kick her off I say.....its one vote....really what has she done? She better not win either. Well onto the cards for the last two weeks, I'll just let the picture say it all.......what a great way to get all my Christmas cards for the year! And only 2 more episodes left......they must be kicking doubles off at a time.

Just Magnolia challenge

I haven't participated in the Just Magnolia challenges for a while now, however I had the chance to play with this weeks sketch. With this challenge I was able to add a couple of past challenges that I have missed, kind of a self catch up. I used a new Tilda to me - Tilda Singing Carols, I stamped her 3 times covering the masking challenge of last week along with stamping the NOEL using the masking. I coloured them using prismacolor pencils and using the prismacolor blender marker. I used vintage photo and walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the stamped image, then took my distress tool to give it a even more distressed look. I also inked all the edges of each layer of pattern paper. This covers the distress challenge of a few weeks back. Flocked the fur bits of the coats and then stickled the wings. I used American Tag nailheads, some quickutz diecuts and M.S. pine branch punch. Hope you enjoy the card.

"Survivor Night"-season 19, week?????

Okay I'm getting ontop of my weekly blogging but as you can see by the title, I am a bit lost....thats what I get for not doing the blog thing on a regular basis.....but I will figure it out and know what week it is of the "Survivor" season by the next time I post here (keep your fingers crossed). So was I the only one dissappointed about the lack of a new episode of "Survivor".... it was cool to see some of the stuff they edited out but really I could watch that kind of stuff at the end of the season not in the middle. So now we have to wait for this weeks show, however we did have a nice dinner at cardzgal's place.... a chicken casserole with pasta, salad and homemade garlic bread and for dessert- a mincemeat tart and some berries....it was soooooooooooo good!

We still exchanged our cards, just because its not a regular show of "Survivor"......WE don't change our regular scheduled plans.......lol



Cardzgal's card this week she used Wreathabella from Stampingbella, embossed the card front with the Holly Ribbons embossing folder from Cuttlebug, the pointsettia is from Quickutz and the sentiment is from studio g. For my card I used a stamp from Inkadinkado, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, punched the corner of 2 mats with a EK Success corner punch added some ribbon and some red sticker dots.
