ATG gun!!! GOTTA HAVE IT!!!

Ok... First things first.... Where have you been? Seems to be what I am getting in my in box! I have been super busy, got sick, and now I am trying to play catch up after the holidays!! I promised more to come and then didn't deliver since I was sick! SORRY!!

However, I am working today on getting some goodies made to share with you! I actually have been working really hard on Christmas presents... but can you believe I gave them away without taking pictures? Talk about crazy!!

I am going to nicely ask for my mother in law to let me borrow the gift to take pictures... I think she will tell me to come over and take pictures of it... she has always wanted me to make her somehting so I am certain she won't let me have it back in fear I might not return it in a timely manner!

AGT NEWS!!!!
I recently decided to buy an ATG 714! For those of you who don't know its an adhesive tool that is used in framing but works great for cardmaking, scrapbooking, crafting, and anthing else that needs tape! LIMITED TIME ONLY!!! you can go to Crop and Stick and order a gun for $50.86 including shipping and 3 free rolls of 3M gold adhesive (acid free) this is an amazing deal! Most scrapbook stores sell if for $75 to $85 and adhesive runs $6.50 to $12 per roll. However if you order online you can get adhesive for under $4.00 a roll for 36 yards! yes thats yards not feet! Its a heck of a savings and this deal right now is awesome! So head over to the sight and Gina or Julie will be happy to help you! I personally spoke with Gina and she was amazing! Friendly, helpful, very accomodating, and very nice to do business with! Also check out there other deals of brads and embelishiments for only $1.00!!! ITS A GREAT SITE!!! They are a family store not a big box store. They do their best to have the lowest prices... For example they got free tape from 3M and are giving it away for FREE to their customers! How nice is that? The accountant side of me says charge for it and make a profit! The scrapbooker in me says "THANKS CROP AND STICK YOU ROCK!!!"

OK I am off to make some goodies!

More coming soon! Promise!!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let you know I have been super busy and taking care of family. My hubby was really sick and then the holidays hit and I got hit with the flu! Our son also had a reaction to his formula so its been hectic!

I will hopefully make something today if I can stop coughing long enough!

Hope you are all well!

Super Cute!!

Ok, I got a chance to play with my new stamps again! YEA!! I absolutely LOVE my new stamps from All that Scraps. They have the cutest little characters! I have lots I want to play with but like most of you haven't had the time! This little bear was so cute and it comes with bumble bees, another bear and three sentiments in a set. GREAT VALUE & EXCELLENT QUALITY!! I decided to add crystal effects (SU) to his eyes to make it look like he was crying. I also made a puddle on the bottom. My 4 year old thought the bear had an accident! How funny!

Hope you enjoy!
Nicole

BUSY DAY!!!

Things are a little crazy around here today! My hubby went to the doctor in horrific pain to thankfully find out he wasn't having a heart attach but has plurasy. I am told the membrane around the lungs dries and makes it incredibly painful to breath and feels like you are having a heart attack. I feel terrible he is in so much pain! I have not been working on anything... as you can understand! But here is one of the first scrapbook pages I did of my daughters. I caught them dancing a in front of the TV. It was so funny. So I ran for the camera and got these pictures. (they are not the greatest quality but they captured the moment!)

Have a great day!

Monkey love....

This is a stamp set I have been wanting since the first time I saw it! It came in the mail last night and boy oh boy was I excited to finally make a card with it. I think the monkey is absolutely adorable! Don't you? Its available at All That Scraps and is called Monkey love. I have a couple of other cards as well that Iwill share later.

I used my minds eye pattern paper, SU cardstock (really rust, chocolate chip, and tempting turquoise, very vanilla) I water colored the monkey using close to cocoa and creamy cramel) I tried choc. chip and close to cocoa first but the monkey was too dark for this card. Cute but I liked this color combo better. I love the addd touch of the robins egg dew drops. I have used them several times now and love it everytime. I used my nestabilities to cut the squares and emboss them. The teal was cut by hand. Again gotta have ribbon!!! Is a card complete without it?

Well diaper duty calls!
