Cuttle me this Cuttle that...

I am thrilled to say that I have finally gotten a "Cuttlebug" machine *HURRAY*, and 2 folders to go with it from the new store I was telling you about the other day :)! I just couldn't wait any longer, plus she had a very super duper price on them too :D...so I ran out and got it :D! The two folders I got are: the script one and the snowflakes one , I can't wait to use them. When I got home, my dh asked me what it was and so I had to show him...lol, to my amazement he thought it was pretty cool and he felt he should have the first use of it but he started to get addicted. I had to cut him off, lol...I think if I hadn't my whole house and children would have been Cuttlebugged. I will have to make a card with my new folders tomorrow, no time tonight...but I might :)!
Oh by the way the lady who runs that scrapbook store donates all her proceeds to the professional Alpine skiiers in Canada :D! I thought that was kinda neat and another great way to support our Canadian Athletes :D!

Anyone know??

I am wondering if any of you are computer savvy out there, and if you can help me out...I am wondering if you can use Wordpress templates with Blogger?? Or perhaps you know a good place to get beautiful blog templates/headers, can't wait to hear from you all :D.

Lost my card making groove, anyone see it lying around somewhere

Lol, I decided I would make a card this afternoon using my friend Kims (author of Creative Diversions " blog) clear stamps that I borrowed. I used the stamps from the "Clear Designs" stamps (Hero Arts put them out), and it was the "K" set I used :)! I used the Kimono stamp from this set as well as the curls from it, and used a flower from a clear set I had called "Garden Words".

For the base of this card, I just used a white piece of cardstock that I had gotten from "Carousel Rubberstamp store". I used a stamp that Kim was selling from her vast collection, it has sort of a Irish look to it but felt it would be perfect for this card. I stamped this image on the base of my card, then added the stamped image of the Kimono and also the flowers onto a piece of black and cream colored cardstock. I used white ink to stamp the Kimono (Dew Drop ink pad), and I used the sky blue Colorbox Pigment ink to stamp the flowers on. I used Brillance black ink to stamp the base image as well as the swirls under my flowers on the cream cardstock. I thought the card was missing something, then it dawned on me that I had the perfect thing to put there on my flowers...it was the Swarvroski crystals that I had purchased from Michael's when they were on sale. I don't know what I am going to use this card for yet, but my dh aunt is a librarian at an elementary school and she has a new VP there...might be a good card for her. Let me know what you think !

My cutie pie

Here is a recent picture of my little cutie pie, she is now able to pull herself up to stand but is too scared to try getting down. She has 6 teeth now, 5-6 are coming in together and driving her crazy...she is also getting hair :D!! Guess who can't wait to get little pigtails or something in her hair,lol, ok it is an easy guess :p! Oh yeah, can't forget her most recent milestone...clapping, she loves to clap...she is too cute when she tries to clap because sometimes she gets carried away and hits herself instead. Lol, ok enough rambling...but I had to show you my dd :D!

It is funny because she looks like I did at this age, and my 3 year old son he also is the spitting image of me at his age except I had browner hair than he has.

I think I need some watercolor help

Oh my, this isn't the best watercoloring job I ever saw which made me frustrated more than anything and sort of disappointed to boot. I am in serious need of watecoloring help, as in I am looking for tips on how to do it the correct way or a way to make it look non streaky...or whatever the heck you would call what I did with my new house mouse stamped image. Lol, ty for your help in advance :D! Oh sure, now that I posted it on here it looks fine, lol...ok, I need help with my mouses watercoloring then :p! and perhaps the lemonade too...

New store I found

Okkie dokkie, I am back from my long day out but it was a good day out especially since in my time out I got to check out a new scrapbooking/rubberstamp supply store. It is in the Tantallon area of Halifax, it is a bit of a drive but her prices and the drive is worth it in the end :)!!! Taxes are included, she has great prices on the "Cuttlebug" folders and has great selection of cardstock too. She also said that if you wanted a certain stamp that she would find it for you and order it in, and she did have a few "House Mouse" stamps I hadn't seen before too. I would def. go back there :)! That's it from me for now, tc everyone and I promise I will make a card or two soon...actually go on over to Julie's page she might have posted a get well card I made her :D!
