A lot has happened. We welcomed our daughter, MaggieMae on June 10th. She had completed our family but made it a lot more hectic:)<br /><br />Everything over at <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.com/page/page/5590453.htm">My Little Stamp Shack</a> is 50% off. We need to try to sell off the rest of inventory ASAP.

They fit her perfect for now:)<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251841340998456626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj-IahWknOxo5AOS7EomxBDweuFHU0qyNYU6KEKT7Sj27jsiHmk_Naz26Mcaw_xrqif3f1BRSRatnlvNXgcuwobEWdmWqbeX9CnbMe_Z9WFOZ0XHn1Ju9PIcOJF_iZONkrKi411BcXnQCS/s320/DSC05838.JPG" border="0" /><br />This card I made for a co-worker of mine.

Once we got home on Monday my son started getting sick:( Over the next couple days he got worse and worse. He had a terrible cough, runny nose and a fever. So on Friday I took him to urgent care, since his doctor was out, of course. Urgent care told me he had a virus and to give him Tylenol and let it run it's course. Well Saturday morning (my 30th birthday) he was running a temperature over 103 degrees, so I called his doctor and luckily got a hold of her. She met us at the hospital and she checked him over. Come to find out he had croup. Ever heard of it? I hadn't. It is the toddler form of bronchitis. I have NO clue on how he got it. It's been close to 1oo degrees outside! Maybe the air conditioner in the trailer when camping?? I don't know. She prescribed him a steroid and some antibiotics, because the steroids could make him get a bacterial infection and he is much better now. He still has quite the cough and runny nose but the fever has past and he is up and about:) Back to chasing and throwing things at the dogs! So as you can read my 30th birthday was NOTHING like I thought it would be! But it's okay, I can celebrate at another time. My son needed me to hold him that day, so I did:)<br /><br />Some good news, I have a new niece!!!! She was born September 8th at 10:49pm. She weighed 8lbs 11oz, big girl! There was some complications when she was first born, so she is in the NIC unit at the hospital. She is COMPLETELY okay now, they just want to monitor her a little longer. She had a pin size hole in her lung which is believed to have already closed on it's own now, thank God! Her name is Alyssa Lynn and I have yet to see a picture. Everyone's cell phones are dead, go figure and no one has a laptop. Arggggh! Patience right:)<br /><br />For today I am posting a card I made for a friend/ co-worker of mine. Her birthday is this week, so I wanted to give her something sweet:) I used the stamp <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/catalog/item/5749743/5803761.htm">Sweet Moments </a>from <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/page/page/5749743.htm">Hero Arts</a> and colored it in with my Copics. I used <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/catalog/item/5688556/5611602.htm">Liquid Applique </a>for the whipped cream and used a heating tool to make it fluff:) I used two different <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/cuttlebug.html">Cuttlebug</a> folders for the background to give some texture. A little ribbon and voila a sweet card!<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TwLFLc6BTNZnNsdQv7nllmZ1FG1-FUjDBkwT4wcuomXk2gpdN-tnpTmCDyx5Jt0nHppF8vnhxqPwk4QGG1wmOkBA87ErmGmSnWcXu16i5i1KPl3_nU8u8ksjv_HyB1CpkMJiqYGwAKHS/s1600-h/DSC05831.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244425182502283586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TwLFLc6BTNZnNsdQv7nllmZ1FG1-FUjDBkwT4wcuomXk2gpdN-tnpTmCDyx5Jt0nHppF8vnhxqPwk4QGG1wmOkBA87ErmGmSnWcXu16i5i1KPl3_nU8u8ksjv_HyB1CpkMJiqYGwAKHS/s320/DSC05831.JPG" border="0" /></a> Last little note we are getting <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/new_items.html">new items </a>in every week so keep checking.

Especially when you throw kids in the mix, oh and a DH:) Some of you have multiple children and even twins in there too, WOW, I give you all the credit in the world. I am having the hardest time trying to divide stamp time, blog time, clean time, cook time, run business time, hygienist time, son time, husband time and then last but not least, my time, even though lately I have been lacking in that department! Well anyways I apologize for being such a slow poke when it comes to posting.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241553649699327682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJGC-BrPf2TXclDH0ChCkojslwOMrVf-kVcT_W0odsmCWvepenjgHTDwoRT1YJVPiZ_0Hwdqn54PxpF9NTbzqqT7lvFYjj49wJCxC6dFjy5556KyabjOXEZ24KKI7ZjTdpDhGPQESqD50x/s320/DSC05652.JPG" border="0" /><br />For today's post I had made these onesies for my new niece-to-be! She should be here any day and we can't wait to meet her. I used VersaCraft ink to stamp these images on the onesies. I then set the ink with a hot iron and VOILA one of a kind onesie! What do you think? I think she'll look absolutely adorable in them. I used a variety of stamps from CTMH, Fiskars, and Hero Arts. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0PrjvQ1-Ft852O1kc2wgxpFVxvOwRQOM39oZRz2_hnYQjXorPdYEhZmmIahZ3_bdJ8DCXgZ0NMOaMhzki512v6PtAPoN_BFCqdpWA-pxkYxfV8yjtLsofTuNzFVcbfiZb-FsXrY1rKbt/s1600-h/DSC05651.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241553659229814290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0PrjvQ1-Ft852O1kc2wgxpFVxvOwRQOM39oZRz2_hnYQjXorPdYEhZmmIahZ3_bdJ8DCXgZ0NMOaMhzki512v6PtAPoN_BFCqdpWA-pxkYxfV8yjtLsofTuNzFVcbfiZb-FsXrY1rKbt/s320/DSC05651.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><div>Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!</div><br /><div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204264418087461527noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785543367317678313.post-58726630678331528282008-08-28T22:13:00.000-07:002008-08-28T22:22:54.274-07:00Huge Sale!I know it's been forever since I've posted... no it's not a "dead blog".

I used my Cricut to cut out the D, A, D. Then using chip board I traced the outer right edges of the letters and cut them out. I glued some paper on from a Target paper pack and then added the D-A-D. Each piece of chipboard was a little longer so Dad was spelled out:) I had about 3 sheets of chipboard between each letter decorated with pics of my husband and son. The outside I added some screw brads, I just love those things! To put the book together I used my Bind-It-All... love that thing too! I added ribbon to the wire to finish it. My husband loved it:)</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and Happy Stamping!</div><div> </div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204264418087461527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785543367317678313.post-16672287164451029682008-07-22T12:54:00.000-07:002008-07-22T14:16:07.287-07:00Monkey Business & A Sale!<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZqG68cPlsZqZfPcJYgR27hwMzug79Jn6Sc8lMdWnU8NWLh7IrQelgpyrrCI3QfZqylPvMQkV_L5mIF0HyoCKG7F1hwO_leSFD5BE9olrZGQx99Y7ei6SaGS6uLomyZOiP4cbxWM0dnTG/s1600-h/DSC05669.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225934071560000466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZqG68cPlsZqZfPcJYgR27hwMzug79Jn6Sc8lMdWnU8NWLh7IrQelgpyrrCI3QfZqylPvMQkV_L5mIF0HyoCKG7F1hwO_leSFD5BE9olrZGQx99Y7ei6SaGS6uLomyZOiP4cbxWM0dnTG/s320/DSC05669.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Another blue sky day in Northern California:) So glad the smoke has lifted for the most part. Today's post I am sharing some more special things I did for my sister-in-laws shower this past weekend. I made her shower favors using a stamp that I first saw on <a href="http://katiespaperhaven.blogspot.com/">Katie's</a> blog... thanks Katie:) They are from <a href="http://www.newcleardollarstamps.com/servlet/StoreFront">Clear Dollar Stamps </a>and are just perfect for what I wanted to do. The set is called <a href="http://www.newcleardollarstamps.com/servlet/Detail?no=1669">Too Sweet</a>. I used Avery labels and stamped two of the label designs with orange and green inks and then in the middle stamped "It's a girl" in the area provided. Then wrapped these labels around yummy Hershey nuggets. I placed four nuggets in 4X6 baggies, 50 of them! For the top part of the favor I used my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Cricut</span> machine and my Accent Essentials cartridge to cut out ovals and scalloped circles. I printed the sentiment out on my computer. I folded the ovals in half, stapled them to the bag and popped up the scalloped <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">circles</span> and voila party favors:)<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225934079472348210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRIO-tVKFmrtcr114JGxpZvUN6J1QJtw8d5L0MHF4BTeoOnRA6sI1mGjqHS8CkYW_Mwq0jZxhVkHdbFnL-NUjWnJMBoa31m8ILog_0a5xHUciBL5AytwbEevFpPet_bnzAri0C_pKf4rgk/s320/DSC05670.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p>So for all of you that can bake and decorate yummy treats I was always wanting to give it a try so I did! I made a monkey cake using a Wilton cake mold... cheating a little:) But I decorated the whole thing myself, little stars, leaves, everything:) And I loved the way it turned out. It took me about 5 hours but was worth it! Man my hand hurt afterwards though, I give cake decorators a lot of credit, WOW! What do you think, you like?<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225937024510737842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCJLRbk-sIvhgYKq-1pwASqid520PZdEMs3L778cKmoo4uSCi93_R8eg3R9N6Loqn4BgsIRH7lKkjoTn-72yOxNVCq-NOXlkFGPnzWAFovXqY313uXOOH1xd_utQRZ0i-iMhiT1A0r9Pik/s320/DSC05656.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><p>Last but not least!!!!

We had a great time and she got a lot of great gifts for her baby girl. Today I'm posting another card that I did when my girlfriend <a href="http://www.katsbellaarte.blogspot.com/">Kat</a> was up a couple weeks ago. You know those cards that take forever because your creativity is missing at the moment you need it! Well that was this card. It took me hours! My girlfriend was laughing at me saying "finish it already!" It turned out cute though:) I love <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MFT</span> stamp sets. I want them all!

YEAH! Hopefully this will be the last time we will ever be evacuated. I have to say I'm glad I went though it though. It made realize the important things we needed to take with us and that I need to have better organization when it comes to these items. So I will work on that:) </div><div>Today I'm posting a card that I made when my girlfriend <a href="http://www.katsbellaarte.blogspot.com/">Kat</a> was up. I used her PTI set <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/stamps_greenthumb.html">Green Thumb</a>. Love Love It! Doesn't it look so yummy:) I stamped the strawberries on an oval nestie and accented it with stickles then popped it up. I used a ribbon from the dollar bin at Michaels, with strawberries...perfect match:) The DP is from a paper pack from Target I got awhile back and I stamped the rest of the background with the little strawberries. I like the way it turned out what do you think?</div><div>A little note about <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/index.html">PTI stamps</a>... The quality of their clear stamps is WONDERFUL! If you have not purchased any you should head over and get some they truly are great!</div><div> </div><div>Have a great day and Happy Stamping!</div><div>~Carrie~</div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204264418087461527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785543367317678313.post-75041784060148483602008-07-10T13:20:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:28:59.257-07:00Go Away Fires!I am so sick of all these wildfires! We are yet again under evacuation for another wildfire that is threatening the east side of Paradise. It is not mandatory yet for our area, we are currently under Precautionary Evacuation. So we have all of our important papers and pictures and items that can't be replaced loaded in our truck ready to go. The smoke and ash is the worst I've ever seen it. The air quality control said that our area here in Paradise is hazardous... GREAT! I just want to pack up and go to the ocean! For anyone else that is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">battling</span> what we are going through our thoughts and prayers go out to you! I will try to keep you updated. Hope everyone is doing well. And I want to give a huge THANKS to all the firefighters, volunteers, heavy equipment operators and law enforcement that have been trying to save out little community! You are all amazing!<br /><br />~Carrie~Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204264418087461527noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785543367317678313.post-22484562289200822552008-07-06T20:50:00.001-07:002008-07-06T20:56:39.622-07:00So Kind!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxB-WnZ4ylK96e1uEjdffz34iF2KeXem8ukLuKBbS9dCa6rnu0aqMmqstmE-4wMpn_3l1bUH6IwDxENndoTzZmLFOvXzSuNG3Xtme9rFDqqQ0bCj8IjFfGWdAVkiFB7aa2nZiPaZVFQQRZ/s1600-h/DSC05600.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220115536116897410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxB-WnZ4ylK96e1uEjdffz34iF2KeXem8ukLuKBbS9dCa6rnu0aqMmqstmE-4wMpn_3l1bUH6IwDxENndoTzZmLFOvXzSuNG3Xtme9rFDqqQ0bCj8IjFfGWdAVkiFB7aa2nZiPaZVFQQRZ/s320/DSC05600.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I tell you I just love getting mail:) Especially when it is from a fellow blogger and a great customer! <a href="http://katiespaperhaven.blogspot.com/">Katie</a> sent me this cute Billy card (she knows how much I like Billy) and it just made my day!

My girlfriend <a href="http://www.katsbellaarte.blogspot.com/">Kat</a> came up from So. Cal and we stamped all week! We did a lot of different projects, some old and some new:) I will slowly be posting them over the next couple weeks. I am posting some cards that I made for my husbands birthday. His birthday was on the 4th of July, good old firecracker baby:) Unfortunately we did not get to spend it with him:( He is working on the fires that are still burning up here! He's working hard though:) <div><div><br /><div>For the cards. The first one I used a CTMH stamp set of my girlfriends called July Word Puzzle:) It is a 6 x 6 card, which I usually don't do but hey I'm up for anything:) The second card I used <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/catalog/item/5923456/5768818.htm">Billy</a>. I thought his little super hero pose was perfect for a card from our son:) I had to add the two little side kick dogs because we have two chihuahuas:) I colored them in using my Copics. The sketch is from <a href="http://iheart2stamp.com/">Jen</a> over at I {heart} 2 Stamp. The paper on both cards is from a DCWV Glitter paper pack I bought at Joanns.

We still have so many fires burning around us due to all the lightning strikes last weekend:( Not to mention the fires, I'm planning my sister-in-laws baby shower that's in a couple of weeks and WOW it's a lot of work. Well I'm making it a little harder than it needs to be but it's the fun kind! I made all the invitations and I'm making all the party favors and much more fun stuff that I think she will appreciate. For the invitations I did a gate fold card. I used SU! Certainly Celery and Apricot Appeal as my base colors and I used a DP by Colorbok called Sage and Yellow Stripe. I used my <a href="http://www.ucutathome.com/shop/index.php/action/item/id/2567/prevaction/category/previd/8/prevstart/0/">oval nesties and scalloped nesties </a>to pop up my centerpiece that had my cute little animals stamped on:) For the stamped images I used <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/catalog/item/5749743/5622203.htm">Playful Animals </a>by <a href="http://www.mylittlestampshack.citymax.com/page/page/5749743.htm">Hero Arts</a>. My sister-in-law is doing an animal theme for the baby room so this stamp set was perfect. I stamped the image with Ranger Ink and colored them in with watercolor pencils and then blended with my blender pen. The Baby Shower sentiment is from a Fiskars set I bought a long time ago. I stamped the DP with the banana leaf... I think it's a banana leaf:), and did the same to the inside of the invite with all the information. I really like the way they turned out and she was so surprised when she got hers in the mail, she loved it! That makes it all worth it:)<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216950341911209746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-lRey5zFFMuq83CZRyqmblPQABb2IL1jB_6SaLOUqiiuJU79InjnEet0d4Nya3GwS3uwnO8-CKfWbdrCfHC-Wism5mhBpizINE10mAyYPa9YS7AppXm9ul5lgy4kTG16AWwTftunSD8ma/s320/DSC05579.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216950352576510674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMd4ByHGmDvAw2EBvq8fHPkgNBsAauf9BYGyQgYlFtwnc2BH3sTf-1HTgFSVgwULp5MGVeM6ev9eIRHZG-SAr1bTKQ32R4DlsDWTEc2Oq9Byp2fr7xkpbQ8UYnHeKnarC-eN3UY3ngusk/s320/DSC05580.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216950339014507666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP4hOVh2Us0Eh_uamJysYrk87eakpcQrJzEbHfCqb8RP5OgXW-XQiwQzVoGwaG3uRJXyszP25Pz13c44G7CargVVKTGCG8kfWsVMRcvv-lPo_GziZGjUrBY5WihKiTr3cuBoZpsuPxHQu0/s320/DSC05578.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><p>Hopefully it won't take me this long to post again:) Have a wonderful day and as always...Happy Stamping!</p><p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/181/7C75AB24D6D7E37DC916BC360C8D7E92.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" /></a></p>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204264418087461527noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785543367317678313.post-81476656987054586102008-06-14T09:01:00.001-07:002008-06-14T09:15:37.091-07:00THE WINNER!<span >First of all I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers:) My family and I are all doing fine and our homes are okay too!
