Yes I have been supah busy (I like it that way!).........I have been filling all the orders I have been getting like crazy! This particular card was an order I filled for a pack of thinking of you cards. I love this color combo - cool caribbean, wild wasabi and basic gray. I am very thrifty with my cool caribbean - I do have 4 packs in reserve, but what happens when I start to run out???! I don't even want to think about that! *wink* Once this order got delivered she showed her other friends at school and now I have more people wanting similar cards.

One of my very best friends, Traci, is a teacher/coach at one of our Jr. High's, she is always going on about my stuff and loves to "peddle" my creations - she has definitely gotten me a lot of business. :) I am making her something very special for christmas, she just doesn't know it yet (I hope she isn't reading this lol). My other bestie (or beastie as Susan would say!), Robyn, had surgery yesterday and is on the mend - I am gonna make something for her as well. Hi Robyn - get well soon!

I hope you all have a great day and I will be back very soon with another post of stuff that I am working on! :)

When I ordered this set from Papertrey, I couldn't wait for it to arrive! When it finally did I was so excited and knew it would be one of the sets I would use for the majority of my christmas cards. This particular card was one of many that I made for a customer who ordered christmas cards from me - she loved them! This color combo is one of my favorites for this year - the addition of the pink to the wild wasabi and real red is just gorgeous IRL! Well I better get back to work, I have a bunch of orders to get completed for card tins, christmas cards and an assortment of cards - ntm my own gifts I need to get finished.

Drumroll please....................the lucky winner of the What Hanna Would Say sentiment set is.............lucky #17 - Kim Reid - Kraftin' Kimmie!!

Here is what she had to say:

Congratulations Kim!!! Email me with your snail mail addy and I will make sure Kristi gets this set out to you right away!

I'll be back tomorrow with a christmas card I was working on this weekend!

Baby Shower Invites
These are the baby shower invite pocket cards I have been working on all weekend. I had to keep them fairly simple since I had to make 50. They turned out just how I wanted and I hope she loves them! I used the Oh Baby stamps from Lizzie Anne Designs - they are supah adorable! I used Blush Blossom and Barely Banana it's a great girlie color combo. Well I have tons more to do and christmas card orders to get working on so I better get busy!

Taylor's ATC Swaps

Taylor VanBruggen invited me to join in on her ATC swap a couple of weeks ago and I gladly accepted. ATC's are a blast to make and are sooooo fast and easy! I signed up for two different spots - the Hambo swap and the My Favorite Things swap. In the first ATC's I used the adorable Bra stamp from Hambo - isn't it just the cutest?!! If you don't have it, you need it! In the bottom ATC's I used the tree and sentiment from Home For The Holidays from MFT! I love, love, love these and I hope everyone that receives these feels the same! I am supah busy this weekend with all my card orders - I think somebody opened the flood gates! bahaaa! I will be finishing up some baby shower invites tomorrow and will try to post those for you. Sunday I am hoping to start on Christmas card orders that I have lined up............can't wait to get started!

Oh yeah, I am absolutely lovin' this SU! Big on Christmas stampset! I adored it when I saw it in the book, but when I finally got it out this weekend to make up a few swap cards for my stamp club, I was absolutely in love! When I got finished with this card I liked it so much that I think I am gonna use it for some of my christmas cards - I like to make a few different varities. *wink* I will be back in a day or two with a Hanna Stamps sneak peek of the brand new set that will debut this Friday - it is adorable!

I finally decided to make one of these adorable totes that we've been seeing all over SCS. Leslie Miller has an amazing tutorial on her blog - check it out here. These totes are so easy to make and you can easily fit 4 cards/envies inside. My stamp club will be making this exact tote tomorrow during our meeting - I think they are gonna like it! I have to run, I have orders out the whazoo for cards and invites and I need to get started! Have a great rest of the weekend!

This beauty is one that came to me from an MFT swap that I was in. It was made by my wonderful friend Pam Bassett (4hounds)! Isn't it a beauty?! I absolutely love the dimension! I love it Pam, it was one of my favorites! Pam has a new blog, if you haven't checked it out you need to - It's called Indigo Studio.

I joined a Halloween ATC swap a couple of weeks ago that my good friend Laura Leonard was hosting - this was my contribution to the swap. I don't do ATC's that often and I don't know why, because they are so quick and easy! I used SU! shimmer paper, so the spiders look sparkly. I can't wait to get everyone else's ATC's and see what they came up with. I was asked to join in on my friend and fellow DT member Taylor Van Bruggen's ATC swap a few days ago - she has a bunch of different ATC swaps going on - I signed up for the MFT and Hambo swaps. I am so glad it's finally Friday! That means relaxing and stamping this weekend - woohoo!
