No crafting for a while

Happy Tuesday to you all! I have 5 cards for you, but they're all ABS technique. You're probably sick of them by now, so I thought I'd post them all together instead of one at a time.

I have to do my 84 Christmas Gift Baskets this year again, which is due on the second week of December. So no crafting for me for a week and a bit.

You've probably seen the new Martha Stewart punches... that is what I used and of course along with the ABS technique.

In real life... the ABS/embossing/distress ink technique is very shiny.

Yesterday I was gonna do some crafting... but I heard some noises in my craft room and was too afraid to check what it was ( is sounded like little feet running along the heater vent. Yes! that was my guess too) So last night, after our costco run. I went to put some stuff in the freezer and my craft room floor and table was covered with dust. And no! I didn't dare find out who is crafting in my room.

This morning (totally forgotten about the other crafter) I went to look for shoes for Lexiss (stored under the stairs) and then realized about them little feet. I've never moved so fast in my life, that I grab the first shoes I can find (of course not her shoes!) As I was coming out from under the stairs storage.. something flew by my head. It's a damn bird!! the bird must of got in from the cold air intake for the furnace ( well.... that's all I can think of, but don't ask the hubby.. he's accusing me of leaving all the doors open and that's how it got in) Yup! me, who is always COLD will leave all the doors open.

Cal~Gals Challenge

Friday night was our Cal~Gals night at Shannon's house. It's always nice to see the Gals and this time we even got to see Miss Hailey! It was a good night for me because I was actually productive.

Here's my take on Shannon's challenge (Beate's WSC) I did the ABS technique, Cuttlebug embossing and Distress Ink again. But..... this time I had to show Tracy the technique (lol, I know, I'll use any excuse to do the ABS technique) I forgot to pack my embellishments and Dianne was kind enough to help me out.

I got home that night and thought.. I'll read the Twilight book that I borrowed from Shannon, to unwind. I put the book down at 3:45 am! It's not because I was ready to sleep... It's because my girls will be up in 2 hours! I finished the book in less than a day!! I guess I'll be asking Shannon for the next one ("lol"with the rate that I'm going, maybe all 3)

Long time no post

It's FRIDAY!!! Gotta love it when it's a short week. Mid November already and I'm not sure if I'm gonna do my Christmas shopping or not. We only do the kids and they are all teenagers now.... shopping for them is a bit difficult. I'm thinking of gift certificates or just plain CASH.

My girls went to a Birthday Party last weekend and here's the card I made for the birthday girl. I'm running out of colored images... think it's time to play with my copic markers again.

Alcohol Ink with ABS

ABS as in Alcohol Blending Solution. I'm afraid my next post will be distressing again.

Hope to see you bloggin' by next post!

So lovin' this technique

I know, I know, enough with this distressing! Just can't help it.... I promise next post will be a different technique.

Sparkly enough for you?

Happy Halloween to you all! Hubby made me buy more candy for tonight, fearing that we might run out, being it's on a Saturday and all. Well..... we had 23 kids including our girls! How sad is that? Our friends in Panorama Hills had 80 kids and still counting.

Have some cards to share with you.

What A Day!

It's Faith Day for all the Catholic Schools today, so it's another day off for us. Being it's our day off, I thought it would be perfect to get our H1N1 and flu shots today. I packed food and a blanket for the girls, thinking it will only be a couple of hours..... 6 hours later!! Thank God I dressed them as if it's winter for we waited outside the mall for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

And do you know what the SAD part is? We have to do it all over again for the second part in a month (30 days) I'm hoping that, by that time, it will be available in every clinic and not just one clinic per quadrant.

If you're thinking of going... bring food and a lawn chair!

I made a card!!! I'm still in need of 2 cards for my class, but I don't think I will be using this one. It's a very messy process.

Calgals Challenge

Last night was our Calgals and Dianne challenged us using one of the Mojo sketch ( I think she said #18) As you can see.... more Distress Ink.

I did total of 3 cards!! Woo Hoo... considering I usually just sit there and watch.

Had fun with the gals, it's always a blast when we get together. Can't wait for the next meeting.

All dressed up and no where to go

That's exactly what happened this morning! It was brutal!! The half hour commute turned to 2hours. Ahhhhh... gotta love the first heavy snowfall, oh well... what can we do.

Still lovin' the distress Ink.

This one is also distressed but with a little bit of bling.

Winter Wonder Land

Ay Carumba! I'm soooooooooooooo not ready for winter yet. Today would be a good day to stay home and maybe hibernate till we see fall.

I made this card for a friend of ours who turned 7 yesterday. I love the finished product, but thought it's not 7'nish enough.

So... I made this one and I think it's more appropriate for her age.
