better late than never

Well as promised, some causeabellas for a cure since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I meant to put some up yesterday but didnt get a chance so here they are. (my mother just had a lump removed the other day (no worries it was fine, they only removed it because it was causing discomfort to her so better safe than sorry they decided to remove it) well anyways the center we were at in valencia is really trying to do mamograms for all women of appropriate age in this month with or without insurance and even have plans to help those who cant afford it. So i am going to meet with the director over there and see if they can display and try to sell my cards. and they would keep all the profits as a donation to their center so wish me luck! and i guess i better get back to work I have more cards to make...and I have to get back to completing my stamp designs...busy busy busy!)

more more and more!

Well since my camping trip was canceled this weekend my hubby and I came home early (sat night) this morning we woke up early and I watched him play a soccer game with a bunch of friends, then spent the rest of the afternoon watching movies together while he worked on the computer and i worked a few feet away at my craft table. I have not been able to put down my new stamp! i was so excited to get to work with it...and I love halloween! ..Well I love ALL holidays! but Halloween just happens to be the closest in occurance.

And well I can't forget that thanksgiving is around teh corner as well. My yahoo group bellaholicsanonymous has a monthly challenge and there monthly bella babe. Well this months theme is for next months posts, is thanksgiving using Autumn colors brown and orange, and it had to include a pumpkin. So here is what I came up with.

And no I'm not done for the day yet lol... I think now it's time for a small change in pace, I think since october is breast cancer awareness month and i do love my causabella, I think I will be making some with her, and with all my new stamp designs that are starting to hit the market, I think i need to make some more samples using some of my own designs...what do you think? lol so I think its time to put in another movie and get back to my craft table! he hee he have a lovely evening everyone and look for even more posts on my blog tomorrow morning!

More disney layouts!

SO do you wanna see what I have to work with!?!? lol this is only day 1 at disneyland...I still havent even printed day 2 at california adventure yet lol i've got a lot of work ahead of me...but hey it was my honeymoon =)

So I decided I needed to do coverpages for each place we wnet on out honeymoon. midieval time, disnyland and california adventure. SO here is My cover page for monday 6-30-08. there are photos of mine and chris's just married pins that were given to us at disneyland, in teh middle in sparkly lettering it says Disneyland Honeymoon, below that are cut outs of sigs thet were at the front gates to do with teh year of a million dreams and in the lower right also in sparkly lettering (numbering) the date.

I also had to add additional border to this page (I started designing some pages before the wedding even happened to mak ethings easier, I use CM albums, well and around the time of my wedding they changed their pages to true 12x12 which i love! and I wanted the new mickey album to use for my honeymoon so this was a page i had already made that just needed pictures added and i had cropped the page too short to fit the old size pages from CM)

Next a Photopass photo of Chris and I with the castle in the background

Tinkerbell paid a visit to us during our photo session

Kissing amongst the castle

Details of Sleeping Beauty's Castle lol chris took the pic of the squirell

deatils of teh inside of the castle me on the phone iwth my dad while trying to raise the gate, me and a suit of armor. Chris bought both our family coats of arms so if he'll let me have it, or if not ill make a photocopy and I'll place it after this page. It was bought at the heraldry shop the one with the suit of armor out front
