Thanksgiving Mani Monday

Monday, November 24, 2014

Happy Turkey week girls and boys! I am so excited for Thanksgiving. We are going to my mom's on Friday after Andrew works his last day of patrols Thursday.

So befitting the coming holiday I have a Turkey/Thanksgiving mani for you today!

Isn't it fun?!? I did a little turkey on my pointer, brushed glitter on middle and thumb , chevron (using vinyls) and dots.

The base is Opi Samoan Sand. Some other polishes I used were Julep, Sinful, and Orly.

I had so much fun with this mani! I can't wait for the online Nail Polish sales for Black Friday, I have my eye on some indie polishes. Next week I will start my Christmas manis!

I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving and enjoy the time with your family/friends!

to all my friends (pretend or otherwise), family, fellow crafters and more!!!

As you are stuffing yourselves today take a moment to remember what you are thankful for! I know I forget at times alot here lately that I do have so much to be thankful for! So I made a list just to be sure!

I am thankful for...
...my amazingly wonderful, tolerant hubby who really loves me unconditionally and more than I deserve! I love you!
...my adorable, sweet, precious children who amaze me and enrich my life everyday! I love you so much, you are my reason for being!
...my job! No really I truly love my job most of the time! I work with really great people and I get to do what I love, teaching children!
...my family I am lucky to have a family that if I truly needed them would come through I know there are people who don't have this and while I have issues with my mother if I truly needed her she would do her best to help me.
...friends those who are real and true seem to be few and far between but I really treasure you!
...this amazing thing called papercrafting! I am so lucky to have found a hobby that allows me the creative release I so badly need and all the wonderful people I am meeting through it!

Happy WCMD!!!

Saturday, October 4, 2008

I hope everyone has a GREAT World Card Making Day and gets some quality stampin time! This day has an extra special meaning to me. You see last year on WCMD (Oct. 6) I was all set to work on assembling all but the crucial info and pics for the baby boy I was expecting. Well that and catch some good sales! Blake had a different plan! Around 1 pm my water broke however I was having no contractions or pain of any kind so I wasn't SURE it was my water. I ran to Target and some other errands during which my water started GUSHING! I made it home and told Andrew this was it and we got to the hospital around 4 pm. Blake was born at 7:00 pm on the dot! So I will always think of my baby on WCMD no matter what day it falls!

Here are a couple of cards to share with you today!

This card is my baby's birthday card for his party today! More about that later! I made this using Simple Birthday Thanks - you know that BIG cupcake! I love this stamp but hadn't used it yet! I paper pieced the top by stamping in white craft ink onto some patterned paper. I stamped the cherry on pure pom cardstock and the base on bashful blue and flipped it over after cutting it out and ran it through my paper crimper ~ which I think is maybe the 2nd time I've EVER used it! I stickled the cherry with Diamond stickles and the spots on the cupcake with Baby Blue stickles - also used those in the punched out area from the ticket corner punch. I tied some choc chip twill around the base and some bashful blue taffeta ribbon too!

This card is for one of the WCMD challenges on SCS! It was a sketch challenge and I {heart} a good sketch! This is old DP called Apple Cider - I really like it! The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and then embossed with COPPER ep! I don't know where it came from but I think it's perfect for this card! I punched that out and layered with more Apple Cider DP and ran some River Rock stiched ribbon through it! I added some cream DMC floss to the choc chip buttons and put one on each panel. Thanks for looking!!!!
