Halloween Fun

Here are the treats the kids will be handing out to friends at school.  I saw these on Splitcoast, they are called Matchbox treats.  I made 75 of these cuties, with the Stampin up set "Twick or Tweet" which has (4) different images with cute sayings.  I just noticed the saying is not this one yet, it is Ghostly greetings and will be placed on the flap at the bottom.  Happy Halloween everyone!

This one was done for our neighbours, you bet, 40th Birthday.  He has a beautifull Triumph in his garage that he loves to ride, so I thought this Bad-@#4 snoopy would fit the bill.  He is super Cool, or at least he thinks he is, with his trusty bud "woodstock" riding shotgun.

Another Lulu - Henrietta for one of my best friends.  When I found this paper I knew exactly who it would be for.  Its funny how certain things will remind you of those that you are close to.  Every time I see a scarf or top in pinks/blues/purples I think of her.  "No" she did not turn forty yet, she's holdin out just like me.  Happy Birthday Girl, you know who you are!

Where did September go!

What a cutie! I love this Lulu, her name is Henrietta and she is so demure and sweet at least thats what she wants us to believe.  This was done for a great friends 40th Birthday.  We seem to be having a few of these parties lately.  Not us yet, we are still a few years away, I am holding onto 38 for as long as I can.  Although "forty is the new 30 I hear!!"

Bachelorette Party

A card I did for a bacherlorette party.  This is winobella from, you guessed it, Stampingbella.  Its hard to see in the photo but she is has a glittered hem on her dress and necklace.  Hope you like her.

Cruising or Fishing, for a guy its a toss up

If asked whether I would like to go on a Cruise Ship or a Fishing Boat, my resounding answer would be.. duh... Cruise Ship.  I like to think a lot of women would think the same.  This card is for a Man, who it would be a toss up for him.  My co-worker is taking her husband on a "Surprise" one night cruise from Vancouver to Seattle for his Birthday and this is how she is planning to tell him. A very lucky guy, to have such a great wife.  The hedgehogs are Penny Black stamps, the colours are stampin up's Brilliant Blue, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise wtih Sahara Sand Port hole.  Happy Birthday Merle!

Summer Fun

This is a card I did up for a summer Birthday Party, that was held at the Port Kells Pool.   I fell in love with this guy, he is Pool guy by Stampendous Stamps in there Changito line.  Changito is a busy guy, he golfs, barbecues, scuba dives, he is well loved and has many friends.  With my daughters birthday in the summer, I thought he would be a great addition to my stamp collection.  They need to come out with a bmxing Changito, or Skateboarding, some cool boy sports would be great.  Its not easy to find pre-teen boy stamps.  Usually they are quite cutesy and not at all "Cool".   So a word of advice to stamp companies, half the population are "Boys", and we would love to see all the Sports in Stamps.  Hockey, Snowboarding, the Luge, Soccer, Football, Rugby, Canoing, Camping (its a sport isn't it?), I could go on and on. That alone would keep the stamp companies busy.  I wonder what it takes to design stamps and market them.  Those of you who know me, know that an artist I am not.  However, I do believe that I could sketch out some ideas to get the idea across as to the end result of the stamp.  Anyways, something to think about.Today we are off to a barbecue at my Aunt and Uncles Farm, to enjoy the last official week of summer.  Lots of Good Food, Great company and Fabulous Wine.  Hope you are all having a great day.  TTYL!

Weddings are Beautifull

This card was done for the new Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, Trevor and Amy, who were married in Innisfail on August 8th, 2009. The wedding was beautiful, and it was evident they are so in love. I wish them a long and wonderful marriage, and feel so lucky to have them in our family. I wish they lived closer to us. Its funny how sometimes you meet someone and feel as though you have known them forever. That's how I felt about Amy the 1st time I met her. She is an incredible woman. In spite of being so Happy for them, we will miss them greatly, as they are moving to Nova Scotia to be closer to Amy's parents and a new job. Amy is leaving on September 1st with the boys, and Trevor will follow the end of September. We wish you well, and hope to come visit you in beautifull Nova Scotia soon.
