You Light Up My Life...

Image
Hey y'all, Happy Monday! I wanted to drop in to share with you a card that I created using Courtney's new (Hot Air Balloon) stamp set. Sooo cute! On a side note, did any of you go to the movies this past weekend? The weather wasn't really nice in upstate NY so the hubby and I went to see Green Zone and She's Out Of My League. Both movies were great. Green Zone was more on the serious side while SOOML was hilarious! If you liked the movie Knocked Up, you'll love SOOML. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Chick-a-dee...

Hey y'all, I just wanted to upload my latest card for Clean and Simple's recent challenge. I was able to use my little chick-a-dee stamps from Papertrey. How cute was the idea of making little chicks out of buttons? Precious! Well I hope you guys have had a great week so far. I am taking it easy this week, gearing up for the toughest 90 days of my life starting Monday. That is when the hubby and I will be committing ourselves to the P90X. Do you know what it is? It's basically a boot camp with-in the constraints of our home. We will be exercising, eating healthy and craving sweets for 3 months! Why? Well bathing suit season is approaching of course! Ha Ha!

Two For One...

Hey y'all, The reason I named this post Two For One is because I made this card for two challenges. I used the colors and borders punch for the Embellish challenge and the layout for the 2S4Y challenge. I am definitely in Spring mood. We have had wonderful weather here in NY, sunny sky's and 50 degrees. I can actually see the grass on my lawn. I also know it must be nice out because when I let my dogs out to play, they don't want to come back in. I have to bribe them with their favorite treats (ginger snaps)! Well I hope you all have had a great week so far. I have been really busy at the office, so it was nice to spend a couple hours tonight in the studio. I am counting down the days until my new stamp set arrives from Courtney Baker at http://www.practicingcreativitydesigns.com/ . She has started a stamp line that is so cute. Her latest stamp set features Hot Air Balloons! Oh the possibilities! Thanks for stopping by! Brandi

Embellish with Borders...

Image
Hey y'all, I have attached a card that I made for the latest challenge at Embellish! The theme was to use these pretty pastel colors and border punches. I absolutely love this color combo and found it fitting for a baby girl card. These colors also remind me of Easter, Mother's Day and all the other holidays of spring. The snow is starting to melt, the grass is starting to show signs of green and the jackets are slowly coming off. Thank goodness! It couldn't have come sooner. I am counting down the days until my first trip of the year. I am taking a trip, just my dad and I, to Branson Missouri. Have any of you been before? They say it is the new Nashville! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Happy Monday....

Hey y'all! I wanted to share with you a card I made for the Tuesday Trigger Challenge over at the wonderful Moxie Fab World! I absolutely love the color combo of yellow, black and white. I am really into the butterfly die-cuts and punches I have hanging around the studio. Let me know what you think! Are any of you sad the Olympics are over? I have enjoyed watching all of the various sports that I would love to take part in but obviously won't! I think I am past my prime involving ice skating as a career. Considering I haven't ever tried it. The one positive thing about the Olympics coming to an end is that I will now be able to watch new episodes of my favorite shows instead of reruns! Awesome! By the way, I have one guilty pleasure I will share with you all just to see if I am not alone. Do any of you watch Real Housewives of Orange County? I absolutely love it! The finale is this Thursday night but I am not sweating it because right afterwards is the season premier of Re
