Sites of the week

I am so excited that it’s Friday! I have a ton of housework to do today, but that’s ok, my house needs it. There are also more Dare To Get Dirty challenges on SCS for Fan Club members. Tomorrow I am teaching Copic 1 and 2 at the Scrapper’s Boutique. These classes are closed for registration, but I have 2 more days in August and at least one more in September that I will be teaching.

I have several projects to show you, too! The first one is a CD holder that I made with the new The Cat’s Pajamas stamps {and the cool new Nightie alpha that was released a couple months ago}. The instructions came from the super talented Cambria and can be found on her CD holder HERE. This project also contains the new line of TCP embellishments: {German glass} glitter, buttons and ribbon.

Next up is my card for today’s Bellarific Friday. This card did not turn out the way that I wanted it to. I colored the image with red and light blue, trying to give a “diner” type feel. I don’t think I came through with the papers. Ugh! That happens from time to time. This card will probably keep it’s home in my studio.

All of the paper and embellishments are from Stamping Bella, as well. Love those frosted acrylic accents!! YUM!

As I write this, Ellie and I are in San Diego. We flew out last week and then went to Disneyland the day after her birthday. While the day was great, the following have been just short of hell with visits to the ER, allergic reactions and high fever {Ellie}. Tony is at home in Texas {he had to leave early} not feeling red hot, either. What a fun bunch we are! I’m sad that we had to cancel Ellie’s big birthday party, but we still had a small celebration last night with a few family members. I will have pics to share of Disney and the party {and party pooper} later this week.

For now, I have a couple of Bella creations to share with you. This first one is my ATC that I did for the ATC swap that I hosted recently. I have to admit that I “cheated” a little by only using a sentiment, because I just plain ran out of time and I wanted to come up with something cute…

This card is from last week’s Bellarific challenge, using Cherry Blossom Bittybloom…

Hope everyone has a great week!! See ya later alligators!

I am going to attempt to make this super short and sweet. Ellie has had another asthmatic episode that put us in the ER for a few hours yesterday morning and then in the evening she had an allergic reaction to either medicine or something she ate and broke out in hives, her lips swelled up. Needless to say, not a fun day! Hopefully today will be better. Send us the good health vibes!

If you made here from Laurie’s blog, I hope that you are having fun on our lil’ bay blog hop for Charmaine. Don’t forget to hop over to Jackie’s blog when you are all done here Of course, I made my card from this week’s sketch…

Here’s my card for Charmaine, using Stamping Bella stamps {did I forget something? LOL!}…

Here’s one from Regina, this month’s Designer of the Month…
