Caardvarks Polka Dot Challenge

I decided to do this Challenge because I collect polka dots, anything polka dots. I even had my last kitchen done in polka dots, see pic below. *smile* This is just a simple card that I so enjoyed making.

Clear Stamp Storage

I've been organizing today and thought I'd share my Clear Stamp Storage solution. I bought these boxes at Michaels last year and finally found a use for them. They are selling them again this year with new styles. I like the fact they are flip-up lids so I can open them one handed. I had to find some way to organize them today, my Paper Trey Ink order came, along with my Verve Stamp , Flourishes and Ellen Hutson order yesterday... and my Gina K order came to. Talk about the mother load. I am one happy gal!!! *smile* I've never had better or quicker service than from these wonderful places.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

A Gift for My Man...

I thought this wooden book would be fun for Steve. He never gets to "undo these things" anymore. So I after I got it all done, I put 20 dollar bills inside with tags for Golfing, Bowling, Lunch, etc. He really got a kick out of it. As I did watching him open it. It was fun to do.

I got these little goodies when I went on a shopping trip with Pam, Laurie, and Kelly. Some scrapbooking place in Indiana thats now out of business. Can't remember the name of the place.

My 'fun' Wedding Book...

Here's a few pages from our Wedding Album.  Now this was fun to do.  Especially waiting 14 years to do your wedding book.  You can have so much fun with it...  

 


 
 







What ya don't know when your first married, is that things change after your married.  *smile*   Hugs, Carla

Happy New Year...

I hope everyone is finding the day to be a great one. My only New Years Resolution is to get my blog current and to blog weekly. Since I've had such great comments on my "scraps", I'd like to Thank Everyone today. You make me feel really good about the things I create. Thank You!!!

This is Wes' Birthday card from '08. He's a Carpenter and Plasterer, so he got a Toolbelt. He is forever getting cut and using his "black tape" to wrap the cut... hence my bandaids for him. *smile*
These are the Halloween cards I made for Gabby and Paige in '08... wanted to do something different than the usual Halloween Card.

This card was inspired by one I saw on the Cricut Message Boards...
Thanks for lookin' today. I'm now going to find out how to make posting with pics easier on this blog. I have deleted the same pictures 5 times and had to re-upload 5 times. Getting kinda irritating! I wish for you all that you are hoping for in this New Year. Hugs, Carla
