What have I been up to???
and thanks to everyone for checking in and leaving such nice comments! (oh everyone except those pesky spammers...)...sorry I have not been able to keep up with everyone's blogs ! I am looking forward to some down time the next few weeks to do that!
But, I have taught a class or two.....first inspired by StampTV....using the Stampin Up set, Snow Swirled.
and next inspired and cased totally from Andrea, I just changed up the colors....stencilled using Stampin Up champagne mist shimmer mist!
So at some point in January I will be moving to a new blog, and going Stampin Up only. Over the past few months I have gained several new SU clients and found myself really enjoying getting into the new products! While I really enjoyed the variety of the wonderful design teams I was SO lucky to be on, I am ready to focus my energy in the SU world.
I am also designing my new blog using SU's My Digital Studio! So far so good...I have a banner and a background! yay for me! I will let everyone know when my new place is up and running, and while I will not be posting everyday, I hope to be back to at least weekly posts.
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday time! Hope to see you all in blogland over the next few weeks as I catch up!

Checking in!
Hi Everyone! First of all, thank you all SO much for the kind wishes...I have really needed a break to re-charge....re-organize...re-direct my energy...all that stuff!
So as I am stuck here on the sofa with a flu cold virus thing, thought I would stop by and wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving weekend!
I will be back in January, with a new blog...new blog home....and some changes! In the meantime, stay away from all those germs out there!

Jasmines Cupcake
Happy Saturday everyone! What a week....snowed here the other day! I was expecting a rainy bleck day today but am sitting here looking at blue skies and sunshine! yay!! Okay, it is cold but....how about a bright and cheery card from Annabelles Stamps to cheer us all up!
After using digital images a lot lately, it is so nice to stamp! I really like to stamp...this is a stamp from the Annabelle Stamps set called Jasmines Cupcake. I decided to pair it with some SU! DSP called Kaleidoscope because the colors remind me of candy and cupcake...yum! This is another wonderful set from Andrea! Don't you just love the sprinkles too? The metallic base really sets off the colors!
Inside I used one of the several sentiments in the set along with a little cupcake stamp. I love the colors of this card! The images are so fun to color, too.
I have gotten a sneek peek at Andrea's Holiday sets and they are SO fun!!! They will be available November 1 and I hope to get some peeks to you all soon!

New Release!!! Angels Landing Autumn Tweetings and Penguins!
When I saw this one cardinal image, I immediately went back in my memories to how much my mother loved birds and collected bird ornaments for our Christmas Tree. I decided to use one of the cardinal images in two projects this week. First a suspended glass ornament!
My second project is so fun...and the options are limitless (almost!) I used grafix rubonz to create my own rubons from printed images! Very easy to follow instructions....I printed the image on the sheet as directed and colored with Bic markits. After applying the adhesive sheet, i was able to rub it right on this glass ornament!
These images are so perfect for Christmas ornaments. I picked up the plain glass ornaments at ACMoore for $1..I need to get more! I see many gifts being made!
