Sorry the post is going to be super short-- BOTH of my teenagers had wisdom teeth removed today, so I am the nursemaid for a couple of days -- so far they are both doing well!
Here is my card creation for this month:

April SOTM Blog Hop - You are my Sunshine
Greetings Everyone!
Welcome to my blog, and the SOTM Blog Hop - whether you have come from Traci's Blog or you are just starting out here :))
I'm celebrating my 2 year anniversary with doing the SOTM Blog Hop this month - as well as Easter (which is my 2nd favorite holiday after Christmas) - all on the same day!! I have enjoyed all of the hardscrappin' ladies I've met doing this hop every month - and been so Inspired by them - they are a truly special bunch, and if any of you are reading this:: THANK YOU!
This months set is so cheerful and cute!! It makes me feel like I'm standing in warm sunshine basking already, even though its still quite chilly here and we haven't had much sunshine.
Here is my card that I created using a mixed bag of the new pattern papers from the Spring Idea Book, the CTMH Cricut cart, glitter glue, and a couple of the new red prisms, bitty sparkles, and pearls:
Yes, I know the stamp set is NOT shaped like that on the carrier sheet - but that is one of the MARVELOUS THINGS that you can do with CTMH acrylic stamps!! They can be manipulated on the block to match alot of different shapes - and the high grade acrylic they are made of stays sticky enough to hold it in these positions for you to stamp with them...... LOVE LOVE LOVE our My Acrylix stamp sets! -
Can't You Tell !?!?! LOL
Thanks for stopping by and if you have time - type me a quick "shout out" or questions if you have them - I LOVE reading and answering them :)

January 2013 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop
Hi Everyone! Happy New Year to You !
You should be coming from Gina's blog , so you've seen 44 consultant blogs so far - I'm the 45th!
Here is a 8 1/2 x 11 canvas I created using the SOTM set, clear embossing powder, and our new pigment ink pads - LOVE LOVE LOVE the way pigment ink blends on canvas! Colors used are Chocolate, Cashmere, Pacifica, Sky, and Sweet Leaf. Ribbon treatment makes it simple to hang up using our Wide Chocolate striped grosgrain. I used a metal butterfly brad from a previous Bliss collection of embellishments, and a smattering of the Blue Sparkles and Canvas Alphabet Letters to complete the look.
Now, I just hope my friend likes it! She wanted cool blues and chocolates to match her home decor - Can't wait to see the photo she decides to put on this! That's the great thing about cardboard backed canvases - you can use regular pushpins to arrange photos and change them out, or you can seal a photo behind acrylic on it permanently. I gave the roses a clear emboss coat and then sprinkled a light coat of clear emboss on the picture area while the pigment ink was still wet to give it some protection from dust and so it can be cleaned if needed :)
Hope you enjoy the post and have a SAFE and Wonderful New Year :)

And here is the first 7 months of my birthday and anniversary calendars that I am doing for gifts this year ~ its WONDERFUL that you have a great stamp in this set for each month and can easily do a whole year with just this ONE set ! The kids home from school for the holiday prevented me from finishing all 12 months to show you, but I proudly have 12 of each of the ones shown below done, so I'm so glad I've made this much progress thus far, and hope to finish them this week and get them shipped!
*wish me luck!*

Hi Everyone! If you have come from Tamra's Blog then I'm your next stop!
Here is this Month's stamp set:
Thanks so much for stoppin' by !
Here is this Month's stamp set:
And here is my Anniversary card for my DH that I made with it - He likes simple and rustic so I tried to keep it that way :)
I used Dakota papers, Slate cs, canvas shapes, gray bakers twine, Kraft color-ready borders, Silver adhesive ribbon, and a bling pearl from the Wrangler Assortment. The shine makes it hard to see, but I colored the silver glitter ribbon with barn red and cocoa markers to tone down the glitter- it gives it a pretty shinner, even thought you cant see it for the flash/glare of photographing it.
Hope you enjoy the card, and the rest of the hop!
Your next stop is Melinda's Blog
