Hi blog readers!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I have been busy with christmas stuff like everyone else I am sure and I am also not feeling well so I haven't been crafting. I will post again in a few days when I have some fun christmas stuff to share with you. Until then enjoy this busy time of year.

Kristinas color challenge #33

Happy Thursday! This weeks color challenge was definately a "challenge" but I have several birthdays coming up and I wanted to make some different cards so this was perfect timing. The colors we were given this week to work with were chocolate chip, taken with teal, whisper white, certainly celery, and pumpkin pie. I thought the end result turned out well and now I have a great birthday card to give.

Christmas treat container

Hello all! I hope eveyone had a wonderful thanksgiving I certainly did. We went to disneyland for four days and had a great time.
I wanted to share with you all a little treat container I made. This was a test sample for a favor I posted earlier. I love the Christmas paper and the ribbon. I can't wait to start filling them with christmas goodies!

birthday wishes and an early Happy Thanksgiving

I know its early for saying Happy Thanksgiving but I will be away from my computer for awhile and I wanted to make sure I said it.
I made this card using some punches and some pre punches flowers. I love this combo as you can tell. I posted a card with this same combo about a week ago. I also reintroduced myself to buttons. I love the way they look on a card and thought I would try a few on this card. What do you think?

Kristinas color challenge #31

Good morning! I decided to try kristinas color challenge again. Wednesday nights there is nothing on tv and it seems to be a great time to craft so I was able to get some time in and give it a try. This weeks colors were close to cocoa, elegant eggplant, pumpkin pie, so saffron, and whisper white. The colors turned out very pretty together. Hope you like it.

Happy Monday

Hope you all had a great weekend. I certainly did. On friday we had a surprise 40th b day party for my friend Lisa (she was very surprised!) These are the favors we made to put at each place setting. They are called sourcream containers. They are easy and fun. I will post the christmas version tomorrow. Have a great week!

Hi blog readers. I made this card on a recent scrapbook weekend (had a great time girls!) I am really digging orange lately. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great Sunday.

Kristina's color challenge #30

I have been looking at Kristinas color challenge since the first one but have never entered. This time I thought I would give it a try so here is my take. I used two new stamps from michaels dollar bin. the colors we were to use were stampin ups old olive,certainly celery,sahara sand and whisper white. Make sure you take a look at kristinas site www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/

Hi blog readers! Here is a christmas card I made a few weeks ago and I am happy to say all of my christmas cards are done! This is not my final card but this was a design I tried out. The stamps are from the season of joy set from stampin up and the dsp paper is basic grey. I just love basic Grey don't you???

I wanted to share this fun picture with you all and tell you about a fun trip we took this past weekend.

We wewnt to Plymouth, Ca in Amador county and stayed at the 49er village. This is an rv and cottage campground. Every year thaey have a halloween weekend usually the weekend before the 31st. They have costume contests , rv decorating contests, food and games. The Best part is on Saturday evening everyone comes out in costume and trick or treats in the park. As you can see people go all out decorating their rvs. We had a blast! If you live in northern california and ever wnat to have a fun and safe halloween check it out.

Hi Blog readers! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I am back on track and ready to share my pictures and thoughts.

Heres a card I made for my daughters teacher for his birthday. The solid paper and ribbon is stampin up and the print is a basic grey scrap from a friend(thanks Lis). I love scraps they give me inspiration for a card.

NEIL DIAMOND!!!!!

Hi blog readers! Here are a few pictures from our evening out with friends at the Neil Diamond concert. I had never seen Neil in concert before but have always loved his music. He did not disappoint. What and entertainer! He sang a few of his new songs but mostly the old favorites. It was great to look into the audience and see people of all ages singing along with Neil. Sometimes the audience was so loud I am wondering if Neil was even singing.

Zephyr cove

Hi all ! These are older pictures from our trip in August but I had to post these beautiful pictures and tell you all about it. Zephyr cove is a resort area in tahoe that has rv, tent, cabin camping. It is on the beach and past the casino area. You can go on boat trips, rent wave runners, go parasailing. I promise you will not be board but you can also relax in this peaceful setting.We had a great time.

GO COWBOYS!!!!

My husband is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and on Monday he had the privelege of flying from California to Texas to go to the game. These pictures are from his seat. He has a friend who had corporate seats that night and nicely shared them with my hubby. He had a great time and I just thought I would share a few photos with you all.
