Chocolate Friend

4 more days until Christmas!

I managed to get some crafting done this past weekend and wanted to share it with you.  I ordered this stamp set from Stampin' Up! a while ago and finally inked them up for the first time.  I think it was from one of their mini catalogues.  Needless to say I'm a chocolate lover and had to have this set because I also enjoy giving it away.  Here's the first card that I made...

Card Materials & Tools: Stampin' Up: Early Espresso, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock, Eat Chocolate Stamp Set, Stamping Sponge, Paper Snips, Scallop Edge Border punch, Chocolate Chip Ink and Craft White Ink, Michaels: Brown Ribbon, Tim Holz: White Gel Pen, Brazzill White Diamond Cardstock.

If you're interested in where you could buy some of my cards they are being sold in Kitchener, Ontario at The Bead Boutique (http://www.facebook.com/#!/TheBeadBoutiqueKitchener).  The owner Jess is really nice and liked my cards so they'll be there for a little while.  She has a photo album of the cards I gave her on the facebook page.

Thanks for reading and have a very Merry Christmas!

Blessing Mini

I'm still here!

Yes, it has been 3 months since my last blog.  I do have a good excuse for not being around though... I had a Baby Girl!  She's my first and it's been a very busy few months, so busy that I have not had any time to do any crafting.  Even when I received my big Stampin' Up! order!  I had just enough time to put my clear mount stamps together, get out some of my papers and well that was it.  I figured the crafting could wait since she'll be little for only a short period of time.  Even now at almost three months I could tell she's gotten bigger, I don't want to miss a second with her.  I know I'll have all the crafting time I want when she gets a little older.

I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner : )  I do have a really simple little card I made this past summer for a special friend who's second baby had her blessing.  We bought her a little statuette and this is the card I made to go with it. 

Card Materials & Tools: Stampin' Up: Regal Rose, Melon Mambo and Whisper White Cardstock, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Michaels: Ribbon, Clear Rinestone and Creative Memories: Flower Punch.

I'll be back to write more about my cards and where they are being sold as well as more about my baby. 

Thank you for dropping by!  Have a super week!
