• It's a WORLD RECORD kind of day! :)

Hey there hoppers! If you arrived here from Karen's Blog, you are on the right track! If not, please start HERE and continue on!

ok...so...WELCOME TO UNITY'S WORLD RECORD INSPIRATIONAL BLOG HOP! I have a huge long story about why I'm not posting something I JUST created....to spare you the time, I'm just going to tell you, I have nothing....new...so...I'm just doing a little UNITY RECAP! sorry!
This here is one of my favorite cards, I've ever done using the birdie from the Growing in Unity set. I LOVE this little dude!



And here is a LO I did using Giggle Grove. This is one of my ALL-TIME fav. sets! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Giggle Grove! And...a little journaling box from the Sept. Kit of the Month. If you aren't subscribed to the KOM, go to Unity's website when you are done hopping and sign up! The kits are amazing! :)

So your next stop is the ever-so fabulous, LEE!

AND....a little quote to finish you off!

First off - story time..............

For the past little while....ok...truthfully...for the past 2 months (since we moved in) I've been "borrowing" the internet. :) I have a Mac and as far as their range for picking up wireless networks goes, it's awesome! :) So...I also do the book work for my fiancee's welding business. Therefore, I am on the computer/internet...A LOT. We recently got started with invoicing the company we are contracted to via the Internet. I did my training on the program last week. So this week, I go to start my first invoice and the stinkin' thing won't work right. So I got a hold of the company and the lady told me I have to have Internet Explorer (not exactly a Mac program, but you can download a version for Mac), so I downloaded IE and opened up the invoicing program. No worky. :( So I tried a few other web browsers for Macs and not one of them worked right. So we do have a regular PC that was in storage, so I went and busted that out, only to find that it's not as great at picking up the wireless as Macs are....so I finally got an Internet hook-up scheduled for tomorrow. So right now....I have my PC set up on my desk, my Mac set up on my kitchen counter (so I can still surf the Internet and blog :) ), no printer hooked up, so I can't download my pictures from my camera onto my computer.....which is why I'm posting so much digi work! :) So....tomorrow morning I should have my internet hooked up, so then I can upload pics! In the mean time of all of this, I have company coming tonight, will probably be entertaining them tomorrrow, plus getting my internet hooked up, plus working on my post for UNITY'S WORLD RECORD INSPIRATIONAL BLOG HOP that is taking place on Saturday! BUT, we are leaving on Friday night to go to the World Championship Hill Climbs in Jackson Hole, so I have to get my blog post done before-hand...after I get my internet hooked up and download pictures - while entertaining our company. :) All in all, it should be an interesting next couple of days.....

Ok, so enough venting on that! :) Onto my projects......


This here is my page for the His Holy Name Challenge Week #3. If you remember from a couple days ago, I am trying to get caught up on these. :) So the challenge for week #3 was "protector." I used the Psalm 91:14 verse, which says, " 'Because he loves me,' says the Lord, 'I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.' " How true is that?!?!?!

So my 2nd project is for the Scripture Scrappers' Bible Study Challenge (note to self: add Scripture Scrappers blinkie). The challenge word is "joy."



I'm pretty proud of myself for this LO. It's my 2nd ACTUAL LO. And that handsome devil is my son. He was only a few months old in that picture (he is now 2). He was sitting in his Bumbo® chair. He loved that thing! :)

So that is all for right now. I probably will not have a post tomorrow, so be sure and stop by on Saturday for the WORLD RECORD INSPIRATIONAL BLOG HOP. Click on the blinkie on the right to get the deets! Have a wonderful couple of days!

•Happy Birthday, Sis! & a challenge.....

FIRST OFF! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL OLDER SIS, TARA! I tried finding a pic of the both of us, but couldn't? So here is a pic of my beautiful sis on her wedding day last summer.


2ND - I got waaaaay behind (like by 5 weeks!) on my His Holy Name Challenges and the Scripture challenges. Remember those? :) So here is my week 2 creation. I used the Dream a Little Dream Kit from Faith Sisters.


So that is it for right now. :) I have kind of a busy, "faithful" day. I say faithful b/c I'm doing a lot of catching up on these challenges, my bible studies , and starting a book by Victoria Osteen, "Love Your Life." I'm excited! Toodles!

•VeGaS bAbY!

Since I've been sick and haven't stamped anything, I finally got my Vegas pictures downloaded! Here they are! It was soo much fun! Looking over these pictures makes me want to go back!

This was our little camp area, minus one camper. That's our camper straight ahead! :D

Kolby and I at the Nascar Cafe. We went to the Stratosphere too, but I didn't get any pictures b/c I was freaking out about how high up were! :D

Qualifying day! It was a little windy! :D

Nationwide race! I had an awesome shirt on (Joey Logano) but it was a little chilly! :D

Race day, baby! :D It sucked! Ha! Our driver (Matt Kenseth #17) lost his motor in like the 5th lap, so he was out for the whole race! I was super bummed, but still had a good time! :D

•Sicky, Icky

Hey there blogger buds! Happy St. Patty's Day!

So I've been sick for the last couple of days, so I haven't stamped anything. This is actually the first day I've gotten out of bed! DS is sick too, so it's been kinda crappy around my place. Hopefully I will drug myself up enough to be over this for the most part by tomorrow and get some stamping in! Hope things are well!

• Bella's Favorite Stamper Challenge & Unity Addicts Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Hump Day!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Wednesday! It finally stopped snowing here and the sun is shining, so I'm patiently waiting for the snow to melt and for some nice weather again! :D I MISS VEGAS! :D

So here's a couple cards I did today. The first one is for this month's Bella's Favorite Stamper. This month the favorite stamper was Dawn (Dawnbarghorn on SCS). I CASEd this card . And here is my card!

So my card doesn't even come close to looking as good as Dawn's, but I have it one heck of a shot! :D

My second card is for today's Unity Addicts Wednesday challenge. The challenge was to use green (for St. Patty's Day) as a focal point. Here is mine:


I'M SO READY FOR SPRING! I seriously have the worst spring fever EVER! :D

So that's it for right now. I am still working on downloading my Vegas pictures, so keep an eye out for those! Have a great day everyone!

Whew!

Hey there! It's me! Remember me? Probably NOT! I know I've been out for a while! I had a lot going on with taxes, Vegas trips, sick kid, sick self, etc. But I'm back!

First off, do you like my new blog look? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :) Veronica at VK Design Co. did it. Click on her blinkie and go put your name down to get a new one! She can really do pretty much anything!

2nd off, my trip to Vegas was AWESOME!.....other than the fact the Matt Kenseth lost his engine in like the 5th lap or something.....but fun was definitely had! I have pictures coming as soon as I figure out how to get them to download onto my computer! :)

And...YES...I do have some things to share. I was going to share these before I left, but couldn't find the time! These are the cards I made for February's VSN! Although I only got a few done, I still had tons of fun!


So there's the lump sum of them! You can visit my SCS gallery HERE for the details of the cards! So, I'm out for now! I promise to be back later (or tomorrow)!

• Etsy Inspired #23 and SCS Sketch Challenge #215

Hey there!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and a fantastic time with their special someone! So I'm in a little bit of a rush, so I'm gonna cut this a little short.

OH! First...I'm sure you are wondering why my blog is full of black and yellow??? It's because in about a week I am leaving for Vegas for the Nascar race!!!! YIPES! I'm sooooo excited!!!!! Anyway....the black and yellow is for my driver....Matt Kenseth! He won the Daytona 500 yesterday (in case any of you care ;)) Ok...back to busines.....

This is my first time participating in Ashley's Etsy Inspired Challenge. It was pretty fun! So here's my card:


So I used Unity's Diva-lish set and Distressed Dots Background. The pink paper is PTI Raspberry Fizz (my fave!) and so is the ribbon! I also used Raspberry Fizz to stamp the image and I embossed the little diva, but the only way you can tell is because she's a little bit darker......so that is it for right now! I might be back later today! :)

• It's Hip Hop Hangover!

That's right...HHH....which means....IT'S FRIDAY! Hooray for Friday! Yesterday I got to Hip-Hop a little bit, but not really last night, so my hangover is gone....bummer....I like being hungover b/c that means I was at Hip-Hop all day! I guess I'll have to try again next week! :D

So..onto the card...here it is!


Ack! It's not the greatest....other than it does use Unity's October KOM. I just can't steer myself away from this kit. It's awesome.Check it out here. Also be sure and check out Unity's new releases. They released over 100 stamps yesterday and have some great deals going on until midnight central tonight! And....since we're on the Unity subject....my girl and Unity owner, Angela is setting up the WORLD'S LARGEST BLOG HOP! Check the details out HERE.

So that is it for my hangover post. I might possibly do another one since I am just not feeling this card.

• It's show time! :-)

FINALLY! I am back to my usual stamping addiction and blogging! Yesterday I finally got to put some ink on stamps and this morning I did again!

So here is the card I made yesterday. I used Unity's January Kit of the Month for the main image and the little postage looking dilly...and I used the distressed dots background stamp. Don't you just love Unity? I do! :)

Here is today's creation. I did this for the Unity Addicts Wednesday challenge. The challenge was to make a tiny love note using one image and bright and cheery colors. Ok...I actually used 2 stamps (worn grid & image from Jan. KOM), but you get the idea! :-)



Well that is it for today. Tomorrow is HIP HOP THURSDAY IN THE UNITY FORUM! The blog hop starts at 10 am Central! Angela always has some great specials posted around 11 am. So go to her blog to check it out tomorrow!
