It has truly taken me 3 months to get the hang of this but I am finally getting it down. I have a new system that totally works for me and I may take pics and post it here soon.

Mother's day and Bridal card

I made only one of these cards but I had to show off the card with the big flower. This card was made by my 17 year old for Mother's Day and he gave it to me. He made 2 more for some friends mother's but I didn't think about getting a pic of them. He did such an amazing job shading and glittering. He has always been my creative one. He would scrapbook and everything.

The wedding card I made for a swap I joined. It had to be black and white and a splash of color. This is out of the box for me which is why I joined it because I wanted to do something I normally wouldn't. I signed up for 3 spots and I have only done one set so far.

The flower card used
stamps- fifth avenue floral, teeny tiny wishes
ink-baja breeze and choclate chip
paper-whisper white, watercolor paper, baja breeze, and chocolate chip
accessories-chocolate chip dottwed ribbon(retired), perfect dots folder, dazzling diamonds, aquapainters, and two oval punches.

Bridal card
stamps-Blissful Bride and Teeny Tiny Wishes'
ink-basic black
paper-basic black, whisper white
accessories-5/8 red satin ribbon, perfect dots folder, dazzling diamonds, scallop punch, modern label punch, and window punch

Last post #3

I LOVE deals so here are a few for you that if you are just starting out this one isn't overwhelming.

CVS
Dawn dishsoap- On sale with card for .97 cents
2 for $1.94
1 coupon for $1.00 off ( Home Made Simple Booklet)
1 coupon for 50 cents off (P&G 5/2)
I paid .44 cents for two.

Rejuvenating shampoo/conditioner
$6.99
bought 2 for $13.98
the sale is buy one get one free (bogo)
I paid $6.99 for two shampoos BUT one of the shampoos had a "try me" tag on it. If you fill out that tag and circle your purchase on the receipt they will send you (through rebate) back your $6.99. That means 2 bottles of shampoo FREE.

The tag was on alot of the bottles but I only took 1 bottle that had the tag on it. It isn't pictured because I took it off and filled it out and got it into the mail before it dawned on me to take a pic of it...LOL...CVS has a few different brands that have try me tags on them. You buy it send in the tag and receipt and you get your full cost back, Renpro (may not have the name right) is another one like that.

Rimmel make up has a mascara that has a "try me" tag on it. I didn't get it because I know I have a coupon which will make this a money maker for me. I will be back to get it tomorrow but even if you don't have a coupon you can still buy the mascara send in the info and get the total cost back. Sweet deal for make up. I swear I sometime feel like I need a 2nd on my house to buy make up...lol

Accessories: rich razzleberry ribbon white embossing powder, versamarker

Post number 1

Josh was in a concert the other night at The Farm the band he was in was headlining. It was really fun and I am always so thrilled to watch him play. He really is a very talented musician and that's not just his mother talking...LOL...it's the truth! They got to play 3 songs and he got to do a solo by himself. It was alot of fun to see. He was right I did like the music. I don't often LOVE his music (some stuff I really like) some not so much but this music the singer didn't scream into the mic, which is always a plus. Now the band before was a screaming kind of band and lucky for us we came in on the last song...LOL...Josh we loved the concert and can't wait to see more.
