SU's new catty!

Okay, so I should REALLY be sleeping right now. In about 5 hours we should be on the road to Minnesota to see my parents. But, I just finished up with the packing, and am trying to wind down. I'd normally watch my DVR'd Gilmore Girls (yes, I watch it) but our cable has been horrible lately and was apparently down today so it didn't DVR! Now both boxes in our house say that they aren't authorized for service or some BS like that, so I can't watch anything on cable right now! We've always had trouble with them, but this month they are really driving me crazy! Oh well, I'm watching a fine feature film right now...Real Genius with Val Kilmer...I love this movie!

Anyhoo, enough of my ranting, if you get a chance, go check out Kim's Blog, she's at the Stampin Up convention and has posted a preview of the new catalog. It looks like there is some fun stuff in there! I know I can't wait to see it!

Somehow I managed to make another card tonight. I can only imagine how much time I will find to make stuff when we finally re-finish the basement and I get a craft room! I needed to make a card for a birthday party this weekend and knocked this out pretty fast. It's for my daycare provider's daughter's first birthday!

A scrappy card!

I finally got around to making something tonight. I made this with the scraps I still had laying around from the last couple projects I did. The card was super simple but I still like it. I'm SO glad that I finally got a Cuttlebug, cause those cheap little embossing folders sure do make the card!

Happy Hamburger Day!

Okay, so if you know me at all, I'm a bit of a hamburger connoisseur (thank goodness for spell check, I was WAY off!). It is by far, my favorite food, besides popcorn of course! Well, according to www.msn.americangreetings.com today is Hamburger Day. So, I hope you have a good one! Check out The Good Stuff list for a $5 off a burger coupon at Ted's Montana Grill! Today is half price burger night at Austin's. I also saw a sign outside of Bob & Dee's last Monday that said $3 burgers...so a couple of nice choices to celebrate this glorious day in my area!

Hope you have a burgerlicious day!

Woo hoo!

Wow! I am on a roll...2 things in 2 days! I love the SU Doodle This stamp set, I haven't used it much yet and I need to! I'm very happy with the way this card turned out. Unfortunately the cell phone pic doesn't do it much justice. The inspiration for this card came from Nancy Riley's blog. I find myself at her blog quite often, she has some really cute stuff on there! I liked the layered flower and dotted embossing so started with that. And, I just love the look of blue and black together, so went through my black paper stash and settled with this. I really love this card!

Holy cow, I actually made something tonight!

Check out this cute One Sheet Box. I found the tutorial at Mabie Stampin'. Isn't it a cutie? It was really easy to make, too. It's pretty small, only about 4.5 x 3 and would definitely fit some candy and/or a gift card, but not sure what else I could put in it. What would you do? Why don't you tell me...tomorrow though. I'm going to try to go to sleep now!
