Message in a Bottle

Below is the concept of this. I signed up last nigh and I cannot wait to participate=0) This should be fun. Just click on the sparkly bottle on the right to be taken to the website OR click here. Let me know what ya'll think.

"This mail-art project is based on the song Message in a Bottle. Basically, it’s about sending and receiving filled bottles through the mail—and if I did the math right, it’s about sending hundreds and thousands of bottles.

I was tagged by Ms. Risa, I love her blog. She's amazing! Definitely check out her blog, she is so good!

Before I get started, here are the rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

Here I go.

1. I'm extremely tall, I'm a half inch away from 6 feet and I love it.

2. When I was younger, to put myself through college, I worked 3 jobs, I waited tables at Don Pablos, worked at The Gap, and modeled.

3. I love to read and I'm at the moment a little obsessed with The Twilight Saga. I wont tell you how many times I have reread them.

4. I met my husband in a bar, it was a country bar or club so to be funny I tell people I met him at a Country Club.

5. I absolutely love to cook! If I had known this when I was younger I probably would either own a restaurant or have a catering company.

Happy Stamping and Crafting,

I like Bella's!!!

Hello Stampers! I made this card this evening using one of the Bella's I received from one of my Secret Sisters from my SCS #22 group. We are a new group and just starting up and we're trying to be an active group and my sisters are just amazing!! Truly they are. I'm so happy that I was fortunate enough to be a SBS #22 "Sistah".

Here is the card that I made. I really like it. I have to get me some Bella's! Seriously she is so sassy, I made sure I gave her highlights. Tomorrow when I have more time I'll post how I made it but I have to get my kiddo's in the bed. I hope ya'll like.

Happy Stamping~

Just Purrfect

Look at the time! It is 2:57 a.m. here in Lexington, Kentucky and I just finished a card!!! I first read the Bible, I am trying to be more Christian and I actually found a church WE LOVE and have been attending since we found ourselves in this mess. I knew that we had to be surrounded by God to get through this, and what better way than to go to church and read the Bible? After reading I began to knit but that wasn't what I wanted, I thought about picking up my Twilight Saga books but hell you guy's, I've seriously read them like 3 times each!!! I know, something is wrong with me. Then I turned on the T.V., the only thing good on was CSI but it was so gory! Not what I need to be thinking about before I go to bed you know? So I went into my dining room (still no craft room!) and pulled some things out. I had so much fun and I am quite pleased with my creation.

Here was the recipe:
White cardstock from TAC
DP Mimi from TAC
Image is from Pink Petticoat compliments of my blogging buddy Malieta who sent it to me from a PIF I won!
The flowers are Imagininese
The swirl stamp for the background is TAC, I used Versamark then Green Gable from Stampin Up and then heat embossed it.
The ribbon is from Wal Mart

I had a lot of fun making this and have decided I need to make a bunch more when I wake up=0) And I need to see all of my favorite sites, I've missed you all! Oh I am giving this to my MIL because they leave for Rome, Italy on Sunday and I put on the inside that I hope their vacation is Just Purrfect (I'm limited ya'll)

Thanks and
Happy Stamping!~

Some awesome RAK's I have received and my Secret Big Sister

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that I haven't posted in so long. Let's just say that this past week has not been a good one for me and my family. My husband is the only one working right now and he got laid off, I've been too depressed to get on here or make cards and I decided that enough was enough! Making cards, stamping and scrapbooking makes me happy and I'm going to try to get out of this slump that I am in so tomorrow I am going to make some cards.

The second one I received from my Secret Big Sis over on SCS for the DSS swap, I love the card, I really love the colors, so sweet! The white ribbon and colors together are so clean, I love this card, oh and she sent me a crinkled sheet of paper (I don't have a cuttlebug or big shot or criklely thing so this rocks!) plus a bunch of flowers! Thank you so much Big Sis, this too made my day brighter and I really have needed it! Your awesome.
