Simple Stamping with Penny Black


Happy Friday!

Today I am sharing my other projects for Simple Stamping week on the Penny Black blog! I used Beep Beep on the bag and Love Assortment on the card.

Keeping it short and sweet today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Tomorrow is my little man's 5th birthday! It is hard to believe I have been his mommy for 5 years! I am so very blessed!! He is an amazing little boy!

Peace and Love!

Happy Thursday!

This is my interpretation of the photo....

Happy Tuesday!

Todays card is another one that I made for a Paper Crafts call. I still have several of those in my 'to post' folder! Even though I wish every card I made got picked up for the magazine... it is nice to have some cards to post when I am not feeling very crafty! I have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things since the holidays are over. I think it has to do with my craft room! It is a MESS! I clean up each night that I craft but there are so many other things covering the floor... to do projects, a die cutting machine that I don't have room for anywhere yet (still in the box... booooo!), Carvers 5th birthday party decor, etc.... lots o' stuff! This room ends up being the place things go until I can find them a permanent home and/or have time to deal with it.

Carver turns 5 on Saturday and we are having his first 'friend party'... the kind that you invite kids and they bring presents. We are pretty big on C not having a big party every year. First of all... I don't know how parents afford it. We are having his party at a local bouncy house type place and WOW!! I can't imagine paying that every year. Not that he isn't worth it.... but it isn't necessary! We do something fun/different to celebrate his birthday every year. Last year he had his cousins come over to spend the night. That was a lot of fun. Anyway... I am starting to ramble.

My hubby turns 40 in the next couple of weeks too and I think we will be having some people over for that. My point is... after the two birthdays have come and gone.... it is time to redo my craft room. I am excited! My parents and in-laws gave me some money and gift cards for Christmas that will help to get the job done. I don't like the thought of taking time off from crafting to do it but... I know I will be glad once it is done!

Okay... well... I have rambled on for too long now! :) I get chatty at 1:45 am!

Peace and Love!

Dedication + Modivation = Success



Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today I am showing a card that I made for a Paper Crafts call! Even though it didn't get picked up... I love this card. It reminds me of my nephew, Rex, because he is learning karate and apparently is pretty good at it. I am excited to give him this card the next time I know he has earned a new belt! The little boy even looks like my nephew! :)

The image I used is from this set and the sentiment is from this set! Both sets are from My Creative Time... which I LOVE!

Okay... well... that is all from me today! Thanks for visiting!

Peace and Love! :)
