No Cruise for me

Hello Everyone,

I know it's kind of late tonight but I got a little busy catching

up with some old friends. Earlier today I was thinking of some

of the bloggers that I follow and was wondering how they are

doing on the Provo Craft Cruise that they all started on today.

All of those on the cruise will be gone for like 9 days, Hope

they are having fun. Since some of us couldn't afford to go I

thought that maybe we could have a little fun here. In the

header picture is the Winter Wonderland cartridge that Michele

from Magical Creative Inspirations will be giving away on 3/3/11

you can go to http://magicalcreativeinspiration.blogspot.com/2011/02/micheles-say-no-to-snow-candy.html and find out what you have to do to enter.

The next picture is of some blog candy that Audrey from

Peace, Love, & Crafting is giving away. Go to her blog at

http://hippieaud.blogspot.com/ and read what you have to

do to get in on her giveaway.

The last picture is of another Cricut cartridge that you can

win. Scrappy at http://scrappyscavenger.blogspot.com/2011/01/get-me-to-500-and-we-will-give-away.html is hoping to get to 500 followers.

Once Scrappy Scavenger does someone will win this cartridge. Have fun everyone!!!!!!! Good luck to all.

Have a Splendid Evening!!!!!!!!!

Eye catching

Hello Everyone,

I joined an Etsy just the other day team in hopes that it will help

promote my shop and that maybe I can help promote other shops.

The team I joined is " Show Me Love " . When I joined there were

only about a dozen members but it's slowly growing and it has

doubled in numbers. The header picture comes from one of my

team members Ashryla she has just opened a shop and she has

wobbiesandwondrs as one of her favorites. I was looking at at

wobbiesandwonders items when I found the flannel stroller blanket

and fell in love with it. I think that the reason I love it is because

I want spring to hurry and get here. The colors just reminded me

of spring. It's a very cold day here today temps in the teens. Ashryla

still hasn't posted anything for sale yet but hopefully soon we will see

her wares.

The next photo comes from another one of my team members who

works with paper and digital cards. This card done by lissylee77 is

so adorable. The card which is a birth announcement with the cute

babies caught my eye. Last but not least is CatchAStarCrafts. Her French inspired vintage

tags are eye catching to me. I just thought I needed to share them.

It just amazes me all the talent that is out there. I have been working on some projects and as soon as I can I will get them

posted. Until then I hope everyone is having a warm, safe, and Splendid

Day !!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy woman

Hello Everyone,

I know it's kind of late in the evening but I finally felt

like I had all my marbles collected. This morning I

woke up feeling somewhat like the header picture.

Not wanting to open my eyes and see the world.

I had several things today that needed to get done

and I wasn't looking forward to it since it meant

that I would be spending some time in my car

and guess what???? The heater quit putting hot

air out and it was a cold day today. Just in thinking

of that it made me feel like the picture below.

I know that many of times we have all heard that

the appliance repairmans wife always has her

appliance broke down. Just like the auto repair-

mans wife always has he car broke down. My

husband is a mechanic do you see what I'm

getting at???? That's why some times I feel

like the picture below. So tomorrow I will take it upon myself to fix my car

if there is no snow on the ground. So wish me luck.

Tomorrow is a new day. Hope you all had a Splendid Day.

3-D Card

Hello Everyone, I didn't want to post some of the cards that I had made until I knew that they had been received by the recipient because I know that they visit my blog occasionally so for the next few days you will be seeing those cards. The card that you see in the header picture is one of them. I didn't get a picture of it in a side view which I regret now that it's gone but hopefully the recipient will get one to me. It's a dimentionl card kind of 3-D. I've also decided that I will enter it in the "for the Love of Chocolate" challange hosted by Creative Accents. To see some of the projects that have been entered go to http://creativeaccents.blogspot.com/2011/02/feb-challenge-for-love-of-chocolate.html The next picture is of the heart cake that I made for my husband. He really enjoyed it.

Here again is my card that I made. I am not to happy with

the program that I am now using to upload my pictures so

I was wondering what program other bloggers are using and

what the thoughts are on those picture programs. I would

really like to get some input from everyone. Materials:

Black cardstock

White cardstock

Red Roses scrapbooking paper

Diecuts

StazOn ink

Fiskars "Forever" rubber stamp Studio G rubber stamp Pearls from Queen & Co.

Ultra thick embossing enamel

Shear red ribbon

Thank you for stopping by and Have a Splendid Day !!!!!!!!!

Blog hop and computer crash

Hello Everyone,

Last night I was on a blog hop which was being hosted by

"The Pink Stamper" that had a challange to win

some blog candy. I worked hard on the card that you see

pictured above but when I went to link it in, my photoshop

system crashed and I was unable to post it. I was up till

4:00 a.m. trying to solve the problem and finally gave up.

This morning I got up at 9:00 a.m. and have been working

on the problem. Luckily I was able to pull the photo out so

here is my card.

The challange was to use black cardstock with your favorite color.

Materials: Black, red and white cardstock

Cricut cartridge: Potpourri basket pg. 31

Scrapbooking paper: "Red Roses" by paper pizazz

Polk-a-dot cardstock: DCWV "The Ultimate premium satck

Hope you all enjoy my card.

Super Bowl weekend

Hello Everyone, Last weekend many of us watched the Super Bowl game. We also did a lot of eating and I was wondering what kind of food and snacks did you all have? In my header picture is my bean dip. To bad I could not get a picture of it before some of it was eaten. The next picture is of clam dip. My families favorite dip. This is a picture of some homemade poppers. They have sausage, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese.

Next is our smokies. Another must have. Then our homemade salsa.

It was a great game especially because the Packers won.

Hope you all had as much fun as we did watching the game.

Have a Splendid Day!!!!!!!!
