Presenting "Painted Lady" from Cupcardstogo!

May Flowers and Butterflies! The May Cupcardstogo Kit is called "Painted Lady" - and it's absolutely breathtaking. I had the best time working with this kit - the inspiration just did not stop. If you are looking for a card kit club, hurry and get on the waiting list for subscriptions. You won't be sorry.

Here are a few of the cards I made with this kit.

















Check back this week for more cards made with this kit!

Time Warp???

Back to the Future
Peggy Sue Got Married
Somewhere in Time
Lost

What do these have in common - time travel. That's where I feel like I've been for the last 2 months - and it may be so for 3 more months. I've been reconnected with many of my high school classmates - and we've been catching up, planning small get-to-gethers and sharing photos. And oh, the photos are amazing! I just love vintage photos, but gosh - vintage photos from your old school days? Nothing like it. And to top it off - I'm taken up the wonderful task of planning our reunion. It's not a milestone number (believe it or not) - but when everyone started connecting - it was unanimous - let's do it now.

So today - I'll share with you a few images from the time-warp that I'll be living in for at least the next 3 months.

My favorite photo this week is a photo of a fun little recreational spot on the lake. It's no longer there - which is probably why it's even more sentimental. This is family and friends of one of my classmates.



This is a trip the band took to Orlando. I'm holding onto the whale fin.



This is a fun photo I took of some Junior girls with some Freshman boys. So silly.



And this is our 8th grade band marching thru the Bicenntenial Parade. (Yeah - I know - that dates me! But I guess you figured it out when you saw the girl with the Farrah Fawcett do..). I'm in the back - behind all the tall people.




Thanks for letting me share my time warp photos!


And now time to come back to the present. I just got finished playing with the May Cupcardstogo Kit and OH MY! I couldn't stop playing with it! You will LOVE this kit! Enjoy the peek!



That's it for now. I'm going to try to stay in the present long enough to get some pages done. Hmmm...maybe I should scrap something with the vintage photo. Aaha!! Sounds fun. Thanks for stopping by!!

A few more cards

Starting the Monday with 5 loads of laundry to do and a painting to finish. I just dropped by to post a couple more cards made with the April Cupcardstogo Kit. I hear there is a waiting list for subscribers - so if you want to get this kit - get on the wait list NOW!


The rubons in this kit are from Dream Street papers!









Have a wonderful Monday! I'm always excited on Monday afternoons because I know that two of my favorite TV series come on!

Thinking of Summer and a peek

I still have lots of beach photos I need to scrap. I just love going through my beach vacation pics. I made this one a few months ago when it was still cold outside. Most of the supplies are from one of the fall Studio Calico kits.







Lots of Sassafrass Lass in this kit, as you can see.

And here's a peek! The April CupCardsToGo kit will be available for sale in just a few days, and they sold out super fast last month. If you are even thinking of getting this - you had better be fast.



Have a great humpday and weekend!

March winds doth blow...

If you wondered where I've been, all I can say is that March truly has been a windy month for me! I started a new part-time job for a photographer and I'm learning all kinds of new editing programs. And in another fun thing that is not related at all to my new job - I was asked to be a still photographer for a local movie production. I spent several hours in a wet misty cemetary shooting. It was fun. I'll put some photos at the bottom of this post. Anyway - all these things at once has cut my blogging and papercrafting time in more-than-half, but I'm adjusting! I just spent a couple of days at a local crop and made some progress, had some "down-time" and laughed with friends.

I realize I never posted the rest of my March CupCards2Go cards, and pretty soon I'll be posting peeks of my April cards. Yikes! Time has flown.

Okay - so here are some more cards done with the March Cupcardstogo kit. The music papers are from Piggy Tales and the stamp is from Unity Stamps.










And I have one page to share. This page is done with the new CHA Winter papers from Dream Street Papers. This is the "Heartsong" collection.





And, as promised, here are a couple of stills I shot last weekend for my friend's new movie. As my schedule permits, I'll be doing more.





Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Welcome March

I was cleaning house yesterday - the first day of March. My daughter said "Mom, are you having someone over?" I told her no. Then she said "Are you cleaning house because it's the first day of March?".

I guess if that were the case, then I'm done until April 1.

Anyway - the first of March at CupCardsToGo means that you can see the kit and what the design team created with it. The March kit is called "Magic Moments". It has some Basic Grey, Making Memories, Dream Street and oodles of other goodies.

Here's a couple of cards that I made with this kit.







The stamp on the above card is also included in the kit. It's from Unity Stamps.







You can see the entire design team gallery here. You can see the kit contents of the Magic Moments kit here.

Have a great day and I hope you see spring flowers soon!

I can't wait!!

Until next year!!! Because that is when you can see the January Cupcardstogo Kit! But today I can show you a peek! or two...




Meanwhile... here's a little wish for you, my friends, reading this blog.
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . .

May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

Have a great day and Happy New Year!

Yippee! It's Friday!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone! My, my, it has been a busy blogging week for me. And it's not just limited to blogging - just busy in all areas.

Today I just wanted to share a few more of the cards I made with my November Cupcardstogo kit. And word has it that there are very few of these left - so if you want one, you had better hurry.

Here are some cards. The kit contents include papers from 7Gypsies, Fancy Pants, Dream Street and GCD Studios, rubons from Melissa Frances and tag stickers from 7Gypsies. Oh, the cute little owl transparency is from Fancy Pants. He's one of my favorite elements.









Okay - whew! I'm worn out and looking forward to a great weekend. Have a wonderful one.
