Crafty Capers Deput

Hello Everyone ! So one of my favorite craft stores Crafty Capers is debuting a new line of stamps, and guess who got the chance to get her little hands on them early .... yup you guessed right ... that would be me. I was sooooo excited at the whole revelation ...he,he ...and now JustRite Stamps are available at Crafty Capers {and they are the only store on Vancouver Island to carry them} Today I am sharing a card with you that I made using the "By The Sea" Set. My first thought when I saw this set was ... "Finally a great set for the boy cards" - but i can see so much potential for these images, and i just love all the words too.

Get yourself down to Crafty Capers @ 2137 C Bowen Road, Nanaino, BC before all these awesome stamps are gone !!! Just in case you get lost their number is 250-585-0022.

Merry Christmas

Well its looking like I'll be ending my year short of my goals ... *insert sad little face* At the beginning of the year I said I was going to be better at posting and keeping up with my blog but somehow I indeed fell a little short. *pout*. As fall set in our household seemed to get crazy, and a tad stressful ta boot. Although back on track I missed several challenges and plenty of deadlines ..... and now its just about time for Christmas. Actually I am all ready there .... decorations are up, prezzies are wrapped, baking is done... Just waiting till I can open those presents under the tree {I'm pretty certain Steve bought me a crafty gift *he he*}

Anyways ..... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!

Here are a few of those "missed" challenges !!!

I almost completely scrapped this card, and now that it is complete it is actually one of Steve's {my husband} favorites for this years Christmas season ... funny how those things happen *grin*. Anyways I'm feeling better, back to about 80%. Trying to get the guest room put back together, its almost there ...*big grin* and I am really excited. I am probably not going to manage to be able to participate this week in any of my favorite challenges due to being knocked on my butt and such a hectic week, but maybe I'll get to sneak in a hour or two tomorrow evening. Hope everyone had a great week-end !!

Another Christmas Card

Yesterday was my birthday and although I wanted a quiet day with my hubby, I wasn't planning on spending some time in the hospital ... *big frown*. I came down with a cold on Saturday but I am diabetic and have a very hard time fighting infection, so by Monday I had an ear infection. {Holy Cow - they hurt}Spent the entire day in bed, and most of today as well. Not sure if I'll get on track to participate in any of my favorite challenges but thought I would share another on of my Christmas cards. I actually made this on for a Penny Black Challenge (use two images) but never got a picture taken or posted on time. Oh well, at least I have one more Christmas card complete.

My Birthday Week-end and ....

It's official... I am SICK!!! So much for any Birthday plans I may have had. Actually we have been busy painting and putting up moulding in our Guest Room {which are my week-end/birthday plans}. I told my hubby I was tired of it being a storage room with a bed ....*grin* but it has been alot of work. Anyways I reaaly going to enjoy it once it is done .... *sigh*

So on to my crafting ... *giggle*. I have been spending alot of my crafting time trying to get Christmas Cards complete. In the past I would pick one image and mass produce enough cards to send out, but this year after participating in a few challenges I decided everyone needed their own special card ... {what wat I thinking ...*shaking my head*}Anyways just thought I would share another one with you - I was just so tickled at how it all turned out. I actually mad three cards using this cute Penny Black image I got last year from Crafty Capers. Hope everyone is enjoying their week-end :o)

High Hopes Challenge #92

The Challenge this week over at High Hopes this week is Red and Green {but it doesn't have to be a Christmas Card}. Since I really need to get my butt in high gear and get to workin on my Christmas cards, I decided this challenge would work perfectly for me ... yup another Christmas Card is complete but I still have tons more to do .... *giggle*. Guess I'd better keep myself going.

Hope everyone is having a great week-end. My hubby, my neighbour and myself have been hard at work doing reno's on the spare room. I was hoping we would have a beautiful guest room by monday but i think it won't be ready until later in the week. We keep adding more to the list ....*sigh*

WnW Challenge 35- Halloween

It's time for another challenge over at Wags and Whiskers.This week's challenge is hosted Jeanette and the challenge is Halloween. I don't think I have ever made a halloween card, but I really enjoy participating in the WnW Challenges so I gave it a shot. The girls over at WnW are really making me go outside my comfort zone lately ... *giggle* but it was soooooo worth it. Guess who won last weeks challenge .... *big cheezy grin*
