Pun fun with love!

Sorry guys!!! I haven't had much time this week to stamp or even update my poor blog! Anyways this is the card I made for the UStamp New Zealand card swap! I so love this stamp set! Our card had to be pink or red with the theme with love! I ended up using chocolate chip, kraft, pixie pink and whisper white. This was what I ended up with;-).

I hope to get abit of time in the weekend and catch up on a little stamping fingers crossed!!! Well I'm off to bed, hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

From the kitchen of

I had good intentions this week to up date my blog but just never got there!! School stared on Tuesday and I thought Yeah I'd get some time to stamp but how wrong was I! I had one home sick on Wednesday one home sick on Thursday and then Friday was teachers only day and don't forget I had to work a little too!!! So this next week has to be a lot better!!! Fingers crossed!

Any who I thought I'd show you my second project I designed for UStamp:-) I have had this stamp set "from the kitchen of" for a while and I had never used it so I thought it was a great excuse to to pull it out and design a box to put all my favorite recipes in! I just love creating my own templates for boxes and things! Fun Fun Fun!

And everyone that did the New Zealand UStamp card swap I will be sending your cards out to you tomorrow so thanks guys for taking part!!! I will post my card in a couple of days when I know everyone has received their swaps;-)

Well I better go and enjoy the sun with the family!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday # 121

Hi all!!! I thought it was about time to update my poor blog.lol. It feels like forever since I did a Mojo Monday sketch and I know its Friday today, but I had some spare time so off to my craft room I went! Better late that never I say.he he! I was following the sketch when I started but then as my card started to progress it changed slightly but hey you get that!.lol. I hadn't inked up animal stories since I got it and thought it was about time I did. I used Windsor knot DSP and the card stock to match. And I found some sage Shadow ribbon in my stash from last year which went perfectly. If you have the time make sure you check out all the other entries here!

Thanks for stopping by;-)
