Too Cute!

A little sneaky peeky at what’s coming this month!!!
Ok so I couldn’t resist sharing this picture with you! Spa Babe is the name of my fantasy football team and this picture is my team logo πŸ™‚ This is Brandon when he was a wee baby in his Spa Baby bath!!!
The draft went very well and my ‘firm butt’ theory proved to be a success πŸ™‚ Let the games begin!!! lol
There was a lot of chitter chatter going on amongst the DT this weekend and I’m sure all of you will be very pleased with all the cool stuff we are planning!!!
Our challenge blog will be set up soon so keep your eyes open for that announcement plus a super fun new release blog hop is coming your way this month!!! I’ll have more details on that very soon!
Although I’m just so excited that I had to share this Rockin‘ Christmas Tree card with you as a little sneaky peeky!
Enjoy your day!

It’s Friday!!!

YAY! The long weekend is here which means my hubby is home for 3 days and that gives me more time to play with all the new rubber that just arrived – he he he! Don’t worry we’ll have some sneak peeks for you really soon!
Also the long weekend means Fantasy Football Draft around here! Yep you heard me right, if you can’t beat em’ join em’! I used to complain about football season so my hubby started a fantasy football league with all our friends and family so that I would be entertained while watching football. I got totally suckered into this!!! My fantasy team made it to the Superbowl 2 years ago and just missed out last year…this really upsets my brother in law cause check out how I pick my team members…
  1. do I like the color of the teams jersey
  2. do I think their name is cool (Cadillac is on my team and so is Toushy – well that’s what I call him anyway)
  3. are their butts firm – this really should be #1
  4. does my hubby rave about how good they are and he can’t believe no one has them on their team – I use this info and steal them from the waiver wire before he can – ha ha ha – last year I got Hightower this way – shhh our little secret!

So wish me luck on Sunday – that’s draft night πŸ™‚

Ok moving on to the posted cards…

Thanks Melanie for sending me this cute apple card – love the gems girl!!!

The other is another one of my little cute creations – thought I should post this for my hubby since we’re buddies and after he reads this I’ll need to suck up. Love you hunny! You are my best buddy!

Don’t forget about our 15% off going on all week until Sunday at midnight and I’ll post the winner of the stamp set from our amazing followers list on Tuesday πŸ™‚

Hugs to all and enjoy your long weekend!

Today feels like Christmas!!!

Good Morning!

Brandon is at Grandma’s today and I had some extra time to myself yesterday so I thought it felt kinda like Christmas πŸ™‚ I’m sure you all know what I mean – free time with kids – what’s that??? I know everyone is just at the edge of their seats waiting for the DT announcement so wait no further…I decided to make the big announcement today! I hope everyone is alright with me posting the names early πŸ™‚

As you all have probably noticed everyone who applied is so talented! I had a really hard time making this decision. I would have listed all of you here but that would just be a little crazy – yes, even a little too crazy for me! So if you don’t see your name it doesn’t mean I didn’t absolutely LOVE your work because I did!!! I loved all of your blogs and cards πŸ™‚ I will be calling on guest designers starting in January so if this interests you let me know πŸ™‚

Maylee

Is it Saturday yet?

First off…thank you for all your wonderful comments! I noticed a special request or maybe it was a demand (just teasin’) from Jennifer so here is a cute card to entertain everyone while waiting for the DT announcement πŸ™‚ and I’ll have another one tomorrow and the next day and then one more after that πŸ™‚ kind of like counting sleeps as a kid…only 3 more cards until the DT is announced πŸ™‚
I just love this little fishy from the Happy Birthday Mermaid set and the waves are from the Just Swimming By… Mermaid set. I’m not sure if the picture really shows all the pretty shimmer in the paper frame but it is really sparkly πŸ™‚ Sparkle and glitter? I wonder who made this card πŸ™‚ LOL For anyone new chiming in today I am madly in love with sparkle and glitter πŸ™‚
Also just for fun I have a little surprise for everyone which I’ll share with you later in the week!
Have a super duper day!!!

YIPPEE!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! one more time WOW!!!!
I am working my way through all of the truly outstanding DT submissions and WOW! is all I can really say. I am lost for words, which if you know me doesn’t happen very often! LOL I’m so blessed to have so many great people interested in our new stamps as well as our DT – thank you so much!!! You are all very much appreciated πŸ™‚
Everyone is so talented and I certainly have a super tough decision on my hands so I have called in some much needed help to go over all the entries. My DT post says that I will contact you directly but I’ve decided that it will be much more fun to post all the names before contacting you so be sure to stop by this Saturday Sept 5th to see if your name is posted πŸ™‚
So to celebrate all our super cool stamping friends I’m posting a simple yet fun Yippee Fhiona card today πŸ™‚
Enjoy your day!

Mommy Caved!

This is for those of you who have kids or even just a little tot in your life that means the world to you…
I caved for the first time! Big time too! Imagine Brandon and I walking through the store filled with everything under the sun, I mean this store is HUGE and which isle do I just happen to walk down…yep you got it – the toy isle!!! He pointed at things and giggled but left them behind without a problem until we reached the super cool dump truck, which I didn’t even see at first, Brandon almost jumped out of the cart (thank goodness for cart buckles). We oohed and ahhed over it and pressed all the horn buttons, then I went to put it back and melt down central!!! He knows a wee bit of sign language and for the first time he started signing please over and over again while bouncing up and down in the cart. My heart melted and I caved!!! As you can see from the picture above we put it in our cart and brought it home. Well actually we had to play with it in the parking lot first but it’s now home and has easily become a favorite morning, noon and night!

Although Brandon’s birthday was back in May I thought it was appropriate to share this sweet ‘Wild Birthday’ card with you today πŸ™‚ The sentiment is from the Wild Birthday set and the adorable giraffe is from our Wild About You set. I also used the balloon stamp from Flying High Fhiona πŸ™‚ I stamped it out onto colored card stock and then embossed the entire balloon with clear embossing powder to give it a shiny balloon effect – FUN!

Remember to stop by tomorrow and check out our new releases πŸ™‚ I’ll also draw a name for the Teacher Fhiona give away!
Have a super fab day!
