Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Hello Everyone!For this week's Blogger's Challenge Group, we were challenged to make a fall-themed card. When sorting through my emails today, I had received a free tutorial from Pockets of Inspiration for a Treat Box Card. You can get your free tutorial here.I decided to make use of this cool template immediately since it is the birthday of one of my dearest neighbors. Happy Birthday Lou! He's always going above and beyond for our family, and for the neighborhood in general so I decided he...

I'm a little late with this week's Blogger Challenge! A sketch challenge this week! Now, I'm usually not very good at sketches, although I'm trying to think outside of the box more and more now!

Before she left for Volleyball tryouts again this morning at...

All supplies are Stampin' Up! and can be purchased through my online store HERE.Stamps: Extreme Elements, Extreme Skateboarder, Full of LifePaper: Basic Black, Tempting...

Remember the Staples commercial: "It's the most wonderful time of the year" ... set to the Christmas tune that escapes me right now?! LOL! I'm really not looking forward to the kids returning to school! Lyndsey starts high school this year (she laughingly says the Taylor Swift's "15" song is her theme song since she turns 15 this year as well ... not the first day of school, but the second!!!) and Christopher is going into 7th grade! My babies are growing up! That means I'm supposed to grow up...
