Big Blooms is 'da Bomb!
Seriously Big Blooms has got to be one of my most favorite sets out of the Spring Mini! (yes, even more so than the Doodle sets!) I so love these flowers!! I chose chocolate chip cardstock for my base and Rose Red to layer with. The patterned paper is Basic Grey Phoebe - and talk about YUMMY - I am totally in love with this paper! *wink* The flowers are covered in dazzling diamonds and have supah sparkle! The tab is the round tab punch from the spring mini (okay, so I can't get enough of the spring mini!) - thanks was stamped with Craft White using my Karen Foster Snap Stamps. The gorgeous striped ribbon is from Jody's (texasjodylynn) ribbon share! This card went together so fast and I absolutely love it! :)
BIG NEWS!
My super adorable blogging friend Beth Silaika who hosts the SCS Featured Stamper chose me as her featured stamper for this week - when I was perusing Splitcoast tonight and saw the featured stamper was me I nearly fell over! lol I am so excited that she picked me - what a wonderful honor! Thanks Bethie! If you are a member of SCS and want to check out the featured stamper thread here is the link.

Kitchen Renovation Pics!
I finally decided to post pics of my kitchen renovation! I still lack trim and baseboards and my new mini-blinds but other than that it is FINISHED! We have a pretty large kitchen and the way the floorplan is, it's just hard to get some really good pictures. I have a before, but it is only of where the kitchen table sits, but you will get the idea! Just imagine early 1980's lovely (ugly) OLD brown flooring and VERY dark ugly wooden cabinets - this WHITE is just what my kitchen needed. This was a lot of very hard work, but I think it looks fabulous! :)
I have been showered with BLOGGER RAK'S!
Wow, the last day or two have been amazing Happy Mail days! I have gotten about 6 or 7 amazing Blogger RAK cards just in the last two days..........here are a few of them - I will post the others tomorrow! :) I truly have some really amazing blogger buddies - I am so lucky!

This adorable card was sent to me by none other than my wonderful friend and fellow SCS'er Beate Johns! Beate has become a great friend of mine and I just adore her creations - she is so talented and has become quite the blogger extraordinaire! If you haven't checked out her blog, it is a definite must. Thanks so much Beate, I absolutely love it! :)

This totally adorable card came from another one of my wonderful friends - Asela Hopkins! This is not only a Blogger RAK, but it is also my birthday card from Asela (my birthday isn't until the 31st). I absolutely love the little kitty! This is a great card Asela, I love it - thank you so much for sending it to me and wishing me a happy birthday! Check out Asela's blog if you haven't already!

This cute card with the bling on the flower is from one of my very first blogging friends, Cindy Keery! Cindy is amazingly talented and is crafty way beyond just stamping - this chick can bake, sew and quilt! She has some really wonderful stuff on her blog so run and check her out! Thank you so much Cindy for the card and the lovely words inside! :)

This lovely card is from another amazing blogger friend of mine, Kristine Breach! Kristine is also very talented (obvious from looking at the card). She has a heart of gold and is an absolute joy to get to talk to. Check out Kristine's blog and see what I am talking about. Kristine thank you so much for this card - it is sooooo cute! I loved that cuttlebug background so much I just ordered one for myself and it should be here anyday!
Happy Doodle!
I absolutely love my new Doodle This set! I decided to pair it with my favorite color - Cool Caribbean! I matted the Cool Caribbean on Elegant Eggplant and used my slit punch to make the scalloped center. I used my blender pen and Cool Caribbean reinker to watercolor the flower. Everything is accented with my white Signo gel pen and stickles for sparkle! The ribbon of course is from Jody's ribbon share - yummy! Can't wait for my Doodle That stampset to arrive.............I am already stalkin' the mailman! I will be back tomorrow with some wonderful Blogger RAK happy mail! :)

Oh Joy, New Goodies!
My Polka Dots and Petals and my new chocolate patterned paper from the Spring Mini FINALLY came today - I have been stalkin' the UPS man! *wink* I had a few spare minutes tonight and thought I would sit down and make a simple card using mainly patterned paper - I am really loving this paper - it's gorgeous! I have a new resolution to stop hoarding all my lovely SU paper and start putting it to use on my creations. :) I used chocolate chip craft ink for the flowers, silver brads for the center of the flowers, my scalloped circle punch, sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels and Cindy Ribbon from Starlitstudio Ebay Store - she has some really delish ribbon! I have several new stamps sets and I promise to get busy making some new cards. :)
My No Layer Doodle!
My Doodle This set came today when the UPS man delivered my huge box of goodies! I have been waiting a while to get to play with this set. I decided to challenge myself to do a one-layer card - those are really hard for me to do because I have a layer addiction. *wink* I watercolored everything with my blender pen using Taken with Teal, Ballet Blue, Marigold Morning and Rose Red. I added some rhinestone bling to the bottom of the card and everything else I covered with Stardust Stickles - it is so sparkly IRL. This card turned out beautiful! The sentiment is from the Happy Harmony set. I seriously have got to clean off my stamping space, it is horrific! I will do that this afternoon so I can sit down and play with some of my new goodies!
Happy Mail!
Look at all the Blogger RAK's I received in the mail today! I couldn't believe I got THREE in one day! woohoo!

This beautiful Blogger RAK came from Marie McClellan. I just love this card Marie - it is so cute and I saw it on your blog when you posted it! I love how simple and elegant that it is. Thanks so much for making me the lucky recipient!

Oh boy a cuttlebug Blogger RAK! This card is from Charmaine - I just absolutely love that background and have been trying to get a hold of one of these for my cuttlebug - gotta have it! Charmaine thanks so much for this great card, I love it!

This adorable Blogger RAK came from my friend Julie Phillips! Is this card not just adorable? I love the blue and coral together and I love the stampset she used - Julie, this card is just fab - thank you so much for sending it to me! It's going up on my wall :)
THANK YOU LADIES!
