How can something so gory, look so pretty?

I received some happy mail from our beautiful, talented Dena :)
She made me this awesome card.
Thank you Dena, LOVE this card you made me :)

How can a zombie card be this pretty?

I did a video of the treats that Dena sent me.




Onto My Day:
Wayne and I had errands to run today.
I actually made supper tonight ;)
No it wasn't take out, I made lasagna ;)
My daughter is so happy as she bought her camera today. It is a 5D Mark II.
Plus she got it for $600.00 less then advertised as she has been waiting so long for it, plus she knew the sales guy.

I hope you all had creative Tuesday :)

You got my Heart

1st off thank you for all the Anniversary wishes from yesterday :)

Here is another card I made at Scrapbook for Heart.
I used all my new stamps that I bought on our trip for all my cards. See I use what I buy, teehee.
I also didn't want to bring my Copics to the crop, so I brought all my Stampin Up markers to colour my images.
I also used a lot of girly colours on my cards.

So here is one of my favourite cards from that day.
I used stickles on her hairband, and sparkle rhinestones on her heart.
Here's a tip...put on the sparkle After you run it through the big shot.
If you look close, you can see one got a bit smooshed.

I used one of the heart buttons and the twine that I purchased from our trip :)
See I really did need all those goodies ;)

Here is the money shot Becky :)

Here is the inside of the card.
I know the photo is blurry, but it is what it is.
















Onto My Day:
I worked all day.
And I am finished month end, yahoo :)
Hubby took the jeep in for the hail damage.
The hood have over 600 dents on it. They said that the would just replace the hood. I really didn't think there were that many dents in it.
The repair shop said they would have if for a few days, so our insurance supplied us with a rental.
In the insurance agreement they were to supply us with a vehicle that is comparable in size and value to the one being repaired.

 Here is my 4x4 jeep











Here is what the rental company supplied us..a  Mazda. Not a 4x4 which I might add. Plus not close to the same size, lol.


I hope you all had a creative Monday :)

Happy 24th Anniversary

Today is mine and my hubby's 24th Wedding Anniversary.
Wayne and I didn't have a big wedding.
Actually we didn't have a wedding at all, we eloped.
I made my own dress. Which wasn't really a dress at all but a pretty white satin skirt with a blazer blouse :)
My girlfriend Debbie and, her then husband, Craig stood up for us.
We didn't have a reception, we didn't have a honeymoon, we didn't even go out for dinner.
But we are still together after 24 yrs of marriage. Just proves a point that I have. We didn't need a big fancy wedding to celebrate our love to the world. Because the only people that need to know our love for each other ... is each other.
I would love to have a honeymoon now though ;)

Here is the card I made hubby for our Anniversary.
I bought this stamp from Michael's, I thought it was so cute.

I used some pop dots to raise the image.
When I saw this stamp I was planning to use some pretty pink papers. But figured those colours wouldn't be the best choices for hubby's card.
I won't share the inside of the card as I had already wrote in it. I really don't think you want to read the mushiness I wrote to hubby ;)

We went out for supper to the Keg.
I was going to buy Wayne a nice engraved wedding ring to replace his old thinning one, but we all know the story with that.
But I'm over it ;)

I thought I would share another photo of my group at the Scrapbook for Heart crop.
I posted this photo on my Face book page and this is what Kristy wrote.
" How'd you guys have room to work? :P "
I think most of us can relate to this, lol.

Hope you all had an excellent Saturday and made some time to create :)

15 hours of Scrapbook for Heart

Just came back from Scrapbook for Heart, and of course, I had a blast.
How could I not with these ladies ;)

We named our table the Crafty Queens :)
We had the "Clean Queen", "Queen Bee", "Evil Queen" and "Queen of Hearts".
Aren't we just purdy :)
These ladies are such an awesome group. I was laughing most of the time.
We even came up with a few themes for next year.
I hope we can get together before then though.
A couple of the ladies from my table won some nice prizes...sadly I wasn't one of them.
But I did manage to get 6 cards completed and I finished up my mini album.

I wanted to give the ladies a little treat so I made these last night.

This is what was inside them.
Oh you want to know what is inside of these?

They are pretzels with a Hershey's kiss on top and then sugar sprinkles on top of it all.
You put it in the oven for 4 minutes at 200.
Fast, Easy and Delish :)
It is late and my mind is blank on who's blog I got this from, sorry. If it was from you, let me know. I told you I was going to try them ;)

I hope you all had a creative Saturday :)  I sure did :)

Unpacking and Packing back up

We made it home safe and sound :)
Ashley was at work when we got here. But she asked to get off work a bit early as she missed us :)
She picked up a Birthday cake for Wayne on her way home and then served us supper.
Supper came after she checked out every one's purchases ;)

Sharon came by tonight for scrapbooking night. But it was more for a visit as I was packing.
Packing?!?!?
You would think I should be unpacking as we just came back from our mini trip.
But tomorrow is Scrapbook for Heart, an all day and all night crop, so I was packing up :)

I keep adding more stuff to my bags.
I have to stop going into my scrap/craft room ;)

Hope you all had a creative Friday :)

Not as many treats but lots of eats :) Happy Birthday Wayne

Boy you guys love to see what I buy :)
I had 35 comments on yesterday's post about my  shopping spree, lol.
Sorry today wasn't as exciting for you.

We went to Mall of America and there is only an Archivers there.
I picked up a few things. I wasn't sure if I had bought a certain paper pack yesterday. But because I purchased from an Archivers the teller was able to look at my purchases from yesterday on the computer, even though I bought it from a different one.
Turns out that I had bought it already ;)
She also gave me the coupon through my email ;)

Today was meant for the girls shopping...and well, it was all about the food for me today, lol.
Started it all off with a crepe. I dream of these things :)
This one is banana caramel. 

Next I saw this giant peep. Then went inside and saw this giant peep swimming in chocolate :)

And I came out with these :)

Last but not least we went out for supper.
Today is my hubby Wayne's Birthday, so I treated the family to Red Lobster :)
Here is my meal, the same one I get every time we come here. Love my shrimp.
Hubby got Steak and Lobster.

Time to get all the receipts in order for tomorrow.
So a short post for me as I am now going to warm up my leftovers and have a late night snack ;)

Hope you all had a creative Thursday :)

Tracy :)

For your viewing pleasure ;)

Our morning started early.

We left the house at 6:00am. And if you know me, you know I am not a morning person.
But I was quite proud of myself as I didn't fall asleep during the drive until we were a couple hours into it ;)

First stop Ryden's, where I picked up my order of my new copic colours :)
And some happy mail from Pea :)
Sad thing was it was pitch black outside and Wayne can't drive with the interior lights on.
So I had to enjoy how everything felt, lol.

Next stop, Pine City Scrapbooking.
They have a wall of Penny Black and House Mouse stamps....Tracy, you would love this :)

















We then went out for a very late lunch.
Then Scrapbookers Too.
Picked up a few Magnolia stamps ;)
Some Copic papers Neenah and XPress It.
And some other purchases that make me happy :)
And that's what it is all about, keeping me happy, lol.
They changed their rewards coupon. At first she said I couldn't use then, they had to be transferred to the new system. I had 2 full stamp cards :(
But once we talked about it, she let me use one of my full stamp cards and transferred the other one to the new system :)





















Picked up some papers from Archiver's.
Like I need more paper, lol. But honestly I did need the G45 Alice papers in 6x6 paper pack.
Notice some more twine.
I was a bit ticked with Archivers. I couldn't print my coupon for some reason. Even though they had my email, she wouldn't give the the lousy 40% off coupon. Like my $4.00 affected their bottom line,lol.

I even made it to Joann's :)
Of course almost everything was on sale.
But I handed out the 40% off coupons to the family and we all picked up a memento inks for me.





















Lastly Michael's.
I needed a new large Momento ink pad. I have tried looking for ink re-fills for these pads, but have yet to find them.





















I know it looks like I bought a lot...okay I did buy a lot.
But everything at home is at least 40%  or more then the regular price here. So when I come here I bring my coupons and go crazy.
At home a Tim Holtz distress ink is $8.49, here it is $4.99 regular price.
The Momento 3 pack inks at home is $16.99 here it is $9.99 regular price.
And I do share everything I purchase with my scrap booking friends :)

Hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)
I just want to open everything and play away :)

Tracy :)
