Under The Stars

My mom designed this card & I think it is just darling. She is using it for a bunch of her male birthday cards this year. My mom & have a goal to get all our birthday cards ready for the entire year.

Here is the 1st card I designed for class this month. I used the new DSP from the occasion mini called Love Impressions. I just love this paper. We will be using it on 3 out of the 4 cards in class this month.

I used Real Red for the card base & the hearts made from the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die. The ribbon is some of the new 1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon.

This card was so so simple! I hope you enjoy!

New Years resolution 2011

Where has cheekie been this time you ask? Things got incredibly busy for me after halloween. Time flew by until Thanksgiving when my son came home for a week. Then 1 week later I left for Disney world with my son & his fiance'. I will include a couple pictures at the end. We had a blast.

Once I returned home, it was almost christmas & I started having stamp camps at my house! I am so excited to have a group of ladies that want to attend class at my house. We moved a year ago & I had been having my classes at my up-line's house in the city still, but attendance had dwindled to mostly the ladies from my new area anyway.

So here I am after the new year with a resolution to keep my blog updated this year at least once a week, but hopefully more often. I also resolve to start videos at some point this year.

I would love to hear about your New Years resolution as well. Happy New Year & I'll see you soon!!
