BRIGHT AND FUN PEACOCK....................

For all you Pazzle owners out there....here is a little sneak peek at one of the adorable animals on an up coming cd to be released hopefully in the near future...the cd is called AT THE ZOO and there is so many adorable animals on the cd......I choose to design something with this PEACOCK...bright and cheerful....I did a lot of extra on this card: used the pazzles for writing the greeting on the front, created a half scallop card and used lots of glitter, rhinestones....paper is by PinkMartini (Flirtini)...also with this week being very busy, kids out of school and people taking mini vacations, if you get a chance, don't forget to check out the latest contest going on over at the bbtb.....YA LIKE RIBBON DON'T CHA.....Here is the link to the contest.

CUPCAKES, OLD STYLE BIKES, SCOR-PAL..OH MY..................

Granted all of these items don't go together, but I have some great stuff to share about each of them...First off, awhile back I designed a file over at The Cutting Cafe called ALL ABOUT CUPCAKES and I must say that it is still my all time favorite printable stamp set, with enough images to make one wanta go make some CUPCAKES........(smile)....well the FABULOUS and I do mean FABULOUS site The Cuttlebug Challenge design team cooked up some DELICIOUS projects using the ALL ABOUT CUPCAKES set.....Maggies site is full of inspiration...I am sponsoring their site this week with a few free files from the Cafe site....you really need to hop on over and take a look, you won't be disappointed.....You can view all the information here.

Secondly, one of the great things about being on the Pazzle team is that I get to design CD Submissions for up coming CD's for the public........some get accepted and some don't..(but its all good)....Here is an old style bike that I designed...Kind of cute Uh............hopefully this will get accepted and will be in an upcoming CD release soon..........
Lastly but surely not least, Diana over at SCOR-PAL.........is sponsoring one lucky person with a SCOR-PAL........this is a must have for working with all kinds of craft projects where one needs to have PERFECT folds and it will make some really fun boxes........As some of you may know, my Pazzles machine is SICK...it makes me SICK just telling anyone about it...I love that darn machine, well anyHOO, since she is sick, I have been using the Scor-pal in helping fold all my fold lines on projects and oh my gosh it is AMAZING, to say the least.....so in about a few minutes, hop on over to this post over at THE CUTTING CAFE and leave a comment to be entered into a drawing to win one of these awesome babies..................Well that is it for now.....HUGS

What a BEAUTIFUL DAY.............& A few projects to share

I am up in Lake Tahoe for a few days and my oh my have you every stop to look around you at all the WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL things around you that the good Lord placed around us...........wow often when I am just at home, I will go into my backyard and just be in total amazement of the pretty flowers, their colors all so rich and different, put together just the way God wanted it........it really makes for a beautiful day and yesterday and today is no exception............Yesterday while my husband was in a meeting a few of us spouses, about 18 of us, went horseback riding up in the hills/mountains and oh my although my butt was killing me when I got off the horse, it was BREATH TAKING, STUNNING to name a few......but it was a rough ride...I have been blessed to ride a horse before around Pebble Beach and it was awesome, but this time around riding through the forest was a BIT different................

Here is a few photos of me....the one were I have a somewhat amazed face is because I had gum in my pocket and the darn horse kept picking at my pocket....and the last photo shows me getting off of the horse............tomorrow a few of us ladies are going to go have breakfast by the lake and then take a little walk and pick up pine cones....boy they have some awesome pine cones here....hopefully we won't get stuck in the snow or rain......yikesssssssss...

On another note, here are a few projects that I finished BEFORE I left for my trip....The first is my take on the this weeks challenge over at the bbtb..the challenge was to use the pear cut from the HOME ACCENTS cart....love it....you can check out the other ladies take here.....
