Yankee Belle Stamper

  Hey y'all, I just wanted to pop in and share a card I made for my Dad's Birthday. He is truly a special person to me. My dad absolutely loves to watch television. I think that is where I get it from. Growing up we use to watch the show Dallas together. That is the first show I could remember watching as a kid. I just loved it. Anyway, I thought the theme of this card was perfect for him. LOL! I recently shared a book review with you that I had read. I thought I would keep them coming, as long as you don't mind. I just love to read and since I go through so many books, I thought I would share some with you that I found interesting. The Help is a book I picked up recently because it has been on the NY Times Best Sellers List for weeks. It was a great book. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960's. It deals with a few women who bonded together in order to overcome segregation and other obstacles. I just found it so touching. I have posted a link  here. Let me kn

 Nutty for you? It should be more like I'm nutty for Paper Smooches stamps. It seems to be all I am using lately. LOL! I made this card for the hubby, I think. Our 6th wedding anniversary is coming up soon and I think this will be one of the cards I will give him. I usually like to give one cute card and one mushy card because I am so indecisive. Oh well! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hey y'all, Hope you are doing well and enjoying the weekend thus far. I made a little card using my new stamps titled Boob Tube from Paper Smooches. I just look forward to the beginning of every month just to see what  Kim comes up with. Her stamps are so stinkin' cute! On a side note, I wanted to share a book with you that I just finished reading because it was so good. My boss gave it to me to enjoy after she finished it. It is called Ruined by Paula Morris. You can find it here, if you are interested. It is about a girl from NYC, who spends a year with her aunt in New Orleans, while her dad is on a job in China. While she is in New Orleans, she uncovers dark secrets about the elite society in the historic city. There is a little supernatural twist when she meets a ghost along the way that helps her solve a mystery that dates back a little over a century. I just found this book so fascinating because I use to live in Louisiana and it dives into the rich history that is

Hi-ya! Thank you all for the sweet comments on my blog-o yesterday. You all make it so worth it to keep this little yankee-belle going. LOL! Lately I am loving the Paper Smooches stamp line. Wow, are  Kim's  designs the cutest or what? Today I made a card using the apple and sentiment from the "Fallen For You" stamp set. I had some cute patterned paper I bought a while back and decided to do some paper piecing. Some of you asked me yesterday who I cheer for on American Idol. I root for Casey, Paul and Hailey. Those are my favs! Guess I'll have to tune in tonight to see who gets the boot. Take care, Brandi

Good evening to ya! I was so happy to get into my studio tonight and craft my little heart out to American Idol. Since the hubby doesn't care to much for the singing competition shows, we spend the evening in separate rooms. This lets me get my craft on while he either watches Survivor or plays some video games. Yes, I have a thirty something hubby who still plays Playstation 3. LOL! This particular card is for my good friend  Kasia. Why, you say? Because she made my day last week when she gave me the "Cherry On Top" blogger award. So I wanted to say "Thanks bunches"! So to follow up on the requirements: 1. Thank the person who gave it to you. - Thanks Kasia 2. Post this award on your blog. - Done 3. List 3 things that you love about yourself. - My ability to carry on a conversation with a stranger, tend to make people laugh (not sure if they are laughing with me or at me, but either way it works for me), great car dancer! 4. Post a picture that you l

Hey girls, Hope your weekend was fabulous. The hubby and I just hung out with a few friends and enjoyed some sunshine. We almost had another snow storm Friday but luckily it missed us. So now the snow is almost melted, I can see green grass and it is starting to feel like spring. Hip Hip Hooray! LOL! The latest  challenge over at Wee Memories has the theme of Color Inspiration. I am in the mood for bright, spring colors and wanted to jump in on the challenge this week. I went with the brightest colors I could find in my stash and used just about all of them. I just love this owl digital stamp from  Jane's Doodles that you can find  here! The coolest thing about this particular stamp is that you can basically get three images for the price of one. This set comes with a cute little bird, birdhouse and this owl.  Thank you for stopping by for the day and I hope each one of you have a fabulous start to the week!
