Happy Saturday, Kraftie Friends!!!

My mom is visiting, but I managed to make this scrap page...




I used Club Scrap Succulents printed paper, Cricut-cut overlay, Butterfly (both from Artbooking CTMH Cricut cartridge), flowers and Beautiful (from Flower Market CTMH Cricut cartridge), more die cut Butterflies, Distress Stains, Walnut Ink and paper flowers with pearls in the centers.
I also added some journaling with a blue Gel Pen from Delft Gel Pen Set.

The cat is my Ragdoll Angel...isn't she Beautiful? =)

I've been messing around with You Tube and Animoto to create some videos lately...but today, I was reading this challenge blog: Word Art Wednesday...
The word art is so pretty...I had to create something with it! And enter it in the Challenge #125: Anything Goes.


I decided to use one of the pictures I took, when I was visiting New York.
Please note that I did not "photoshop" the photo...no enhancements, no filters, no effects, nothing!
All I did was adding the black frame (edited in Photobucket) and the word art (from the Challenge Blog).
I just love that bronze statue! It's called “Roses of Yesterday” and created in 1923 by Harriet W. Frishmuth.

Thanks for stopping by!

I think I been on a rubber stamping "break"...I haven't been stamping much...but I sure am baking a lot!
I've never really baked before though...of course I would make some desert but they wouldn't require baking.
So, I've been trying recipes since Christmas and playing with decorating tips.

Here are some of my first cupcakes:


And I saved the one with pretty stars for a picture:


I have a secret though...they were overcooked at the bottom!
I still have to figure out my oven...it's kind of weird...

And these are probably from my third batch:


Less "half-overcooked" but still...

I have also moved on to bigger projects...a 8" round cake pan from Wilton and a Horse cake pan from IKEA!
Pictures coming soon...after I've mastered the baking process. =)

Hope you have a "Merry"-er Christmas than Angel!!!

Isn't she cute when she is mad???

I went to the Interlocking Shetland Sheepdog Club of Monee Specialty Show yesterday and today. Needless to say, I spent time with old friends, met new friends and saw wonderful Shelties!
Here are some pictures:

I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden a couple of times and took some pictures...the Garden is gorgeous! I loved it!

Last week was so hectic!
I am a member of Rockford-Freeport Illinois Kennel Club and the club had a dog show last weekend. I had to help as a steward in Obedience and Rally.
Needless to say...didn't have time to post...
And now, I'm all sore from standing almost all day long for 2 days...and I think I got a little bit sick, too. But here are some pictures from the show:

Best in Show (Sat & Sun)

Group 1st (Sat) and Group 4th (Sun)

Oh, didn't post yesterday because I was feeling under the under...I still have a headache, but...oh, well! It's the weather...
So, this is my first published card! Haven't posted it before because I didn't have a good picture of it.

Published in "The Rubber Stamper", Nov/Dec 2006, p. 41.
Stamp Credits: Stampin'Up! (can't really see it though...it's the background on the tan tag) and MSE! (My Sentiment's Exactly!)
The picture was taken in a small town in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Thanks for visiting today!

E para meus queridos amigos que estao no Brasil...Saudades!!!

Supplies: Butterfly and Daisy Stem rubber stamps (Rubber Stampede), StazOn Jet Black (Tsukineko), Fluid Chalk Pastel Pink (ColorBox), Metallic Purple (Rubber Stampede), eyelets, ribbon, stipple brush.

I love butterflies!
The other day I was taking pictures in my mother-in-law's garden...and guess what?
A beautiful butterfly posed for me for several minutes. Check it out!

Finally, we have internet at home!!! =)
More cards coming tomorrow...and some puppies for now...

Hello!
It's been a while since I last posted here...but...
We've finally moved!!!
The bad thing is that we don't have internet at home yet...so, I won't be posting here regularly until we get it...
Oh, well...

Here's a picture of my sheltie Jazz, meanwhile... =)

I made this card for my father-in-law. I used my scraps and my new double-sided tape!

Supplies: Patterned Papers (My Mind's Eye), Sentiments Rub-On (BasicGrey), Chic Alpha Clear Stamp Set (Fancy Pants Designs), Tiny Letters Alpha Set (Hero Arts), Brilliance Dew Drop Coffee Bean ink pad (Tsukinkeo), glitter, silver and green gel pen and my new double-sided tape.
Finally I've found good tape! It's acid-free (safe for scrapbooks) and holds well glitter, small beads and it's "embossable".

Why am I posting it now? I know, I know...Father's Day was last month...but he was traveling at that time and the "gift" wasn't ready yet, so my husband and I had to wait anyway.
And the inside was my husband's idea...I am not hitting on my father-in-law!
So, the "gift" was pictures of Josie's puppies on CDs, plus a DVD.
Josie is my father-in-law's dog, a Jack Russell Terrier (or Parson Russell Terrier). She had her first litter (3 puppies) back in late April. I would take pictures almost everyday for the first 2 weeks, then weekly until they were 2 months-old. So I ended up with a progression of their development (they grow really fast...).
I ended up with tons of pictures...so, I had to choose the best ones for the CDs...not an easy task because they are (or were) so cute...

Here's a picture of the puppies (girl-boy-girl). Aren't they cute???
