Happy Tuesday... Here is another little Valentine card.. I really love all of the colors of the Valentine papers and embellishments. You can make them look really vintage or bright like this one. I used " We R Memory Keepers" paper, the round "Forever" with the angel is from "House of Three" The little embellishment is "Tattered Angels" it was brown so I painted it and added some chunky glitter. If you haven't been to House of 3 yet, you really should check it out. (there is a blinky on the left of my blog) they have the cutest stuff, some is free and the rest is at a very reasonable price. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.. Jen

Bee Mine.... Hello friends, I couldn't wait to use this Spellbinders die cut.. I just love it ! So fancy & perfect for Valentines Day cards.. The bee stamp is from Michaels dollar bin, I inked the image and used "marcasite" embossing powder like the card below.. I've found that when I do this the ink doesn't bleed into the color.. I used copics.

Some cute little flowers from the wedding dept. at ... guess where.... yes, Michaels :) and another doilie, and a pink pearl.

The big scrapbook convention is here this weekend so my New Years resolution is, well, over ! I will probably get some more Spellbinders, ink, glitter... Well, there ya go.. more stuff !!

Have a great day... Jen

If love is blind,

Mojo Monday 121... Another Mojo card.. . This post will be short cause Im tired (big yawn) I was up early this morning, My 6 yr old nephew was here & we made cinnamon rolls, watched TV & he played games on the computer.. We sure had fun !

Two stamps from the Michael's dollar bin, (yes I broke down and bought stamps) but everything else I already had..

I inked the image and heat embossed it with "marcasite" embossing powder.. and put stickles on the heart...

Well Im off to bed... see you tomorrow. Jen

I Believe... Well, so far I'm sticking to my New Years resolution.. I used everything from my stash to make this page. My granddaughter was so excited to be going to her school Christmas program, she said " I look just like a princess " and she did :) I used K & Co. paper and embellishments. A square doilie ( I cut two sides off ).

The flower was too plain so I added some glitter. And some stars from Prima.

I'm off to do the Mojo Monday card and then to Michael's for an interview... there is a new one opening up about 2 miles from my house... ( that could be very dangerous :) Enjoy the rest of your day... Jen

If you don't think everyday is a good day,

To My Sweetheart... I love, love, love this card & had a lot of fun making it ! I used some Anna Griffin paper, Tattered Angels chipboard, a paper doilie (is that spelled right ?) I inked the doilie & the lace trim (from Walmart) added a flower from my stash..

And put LOTS of chunky glitter on the chipboard. The "To My Sweetheart" is from Crafty Secrets. I wish you could see this card in person... so cute (big smile).. Hope you all had a good week, I sure did.. it was beautiful here this week, I sure hope it stays like this for a while (wishful thinking:)..

Have a great weekend... Jen

I played as much golf as I could in North Dakota,

but summer up there is pretty short. It usually falls

Mojo Monday 120... Hi everyone.. hope your week is going well. Here is my take on the Mojo Monday card for this week. I used a "Bella" stamp I got from my friend Pat for my birthday.. ( Thanks Pat, love my stamps ) some Basic Grey paper from a paper stack, ribbon from Michael's, and Pearls from Recollections.. and my Spellbinders to cut out the house picture and mat.... ( I have 11 sets of Spellbinder's dies and I want MORE :) I colored the house with Copics..

I printed the "New Address" in Print shop.. and I used a EK Success punch for the border..

It was a beautiful day here today in Cali.. 72 degrees, just perfect.. Sorry, I know a lot of you are having freezing temperatures and snow.. I think I would like that ... but only for a few days ! Well, enjoy your day & see you soon... Jen

I was just thinking.. if it really is religion with these

nudist colonies.. They sure must turn atheists in Winter...

Little Drummer Boy.. My first page of the year.. now I can't wait to do more ! We bought Joe a drum set and he loved it. ( and I'm so glad he could take it home :) This was all made with leftovers, I didn't buy a thing.. Oh, beleive me, I wanted too..

I used more of the chunky glitter (Martha Stewart) it really adds a lot.

Back to scrappin'... have a great day. Jen

all obvious confections... Children tend to

Valentines Already :) I found this cute envelope templete on Lisa Johnson's blog "poppypaperie.typepad.com". I thought I'd use it for gift cards or money for the grandkids.. they are just the perfect size for little things, maybe even a love note ;) Anyway, I used some leftover valentine paper from We R Memory Keepers it's their "Heart Attack" line... very cute...

I stamped the heart.. the other embellishments are from the same "Heart Attack" line.

You can get the templete on Lisa's blog.. all you do is print it on the reverse side of your paper..

My New Year's resolution is to either use my stash of paper or give it away... maybe I will have a drawing here on the old blog.. what do you think ?? Anyone interested ?? Hope your week has started out well.. Just picked up some pictures from Christmas so Im off to do some pages.. enjoy the rest of your day.. Jen

Well, here is my grandson's frame.. this picture was taken at his 3rd birthday party & I think he was tired of "Ama Jennie" taking pictures :) but isn't he a cutie !! I got the idea for the round "flowers" on Michelle Woodersons blog, she has some great stuff !

I found some free sheet music on the web and printed it on plain paper, then crinkled it and inked it.

I added lots of buttons, some leftover metal and I had to add a little sparkle so I stickled the heart..

Leave me a comment and tell me what you think... Jen

We should all have one person who knows

how to bless us despite the evidence...

Grandma was that person to me..

Happy New Year !!! Wow, can you believe it... 2010 ! How the heck did that happen. It seem's like it was just yesterday we were celebrating the year 2000 and waiting for all of our computers to crash :) All of the Christmas decorations are put up, the holidays are over and now I can get back to creating... my favorite thing !! Here is a little wooden frame I bought at Michaels, I covered it with paper, sanded and inked it .. added some embellishments and bling & I think it turned out very cute.. I used Basic Grey paper and added some lace around the heart and a wooden piece from my stash. I painted it and added some heavy glitter (Martha Stewart)

A cute button I found at Wal-mart... ( love that store )

This one is for my granddaughter and I am working on one for my grandson... don't think I will be putting any glitter or fancy stuff on his :) Have a great weekend and see you soon.. Jen

A New Year's resolution is something that

Christmas Boxes ! Hi everyone... well, I have been working on these cute Christmas boxes off and on for a couple of weeks now & they are finally finished ! I made one for me and one for my friend Pat.. she made me a beautiful knitted shawl ( it's cold enough for me to wear it now! Woo Hoo ! ) so I wanted to do something for her. These turned out very pretty, lot's of big chunky glitter,a little silver sparkle and a big crystal on the front.. I painted the boxes white and added some Basic Grey paper..

I used my silver metallic pen to add some accents and a strip of metal I found in my stash..

The flower is made out of crepe paper & of course I added some ribbon, beads & snowflakes..

Just enough bling... not too much !! I also added some ball feet to make it a little taller. ( wish I could do that to myself :) Enjoy the rest of your day and see you tomorrow..Jen

Mojo Monday 116 Man... it's cold here,47 degrees right now..I know... some of you have snow and its freezing, but this is cold for Southern California .. Burrrrr ! Anyway, here is my take on the Mojo Monday card. Not my favorite but it will have to do since I have so many to make. I think I will get an assembly line going tomorrow so I can get a lot done.

I also want to make some of the candles I saw on Heidi Swapp's blog. They are really cute, check them out.. Have a great night.. Jen

Mojo 115 Wow... it feels so good to be crafting again (big smile) I made this Mojo Monday card today, and started my 25 day's of Christmas book. Pat, Cheryl and I did one last year and is was so much fun Pat and I decided to do one again this year.. and... I started decorating the house. I am having fun putting all of my decorations up in the new house. It is smaller so I am giving a lot of my stuff to my daughter-n-law ! I will post some pic's when I'm finished... Wish you could see the stickles, I used a ton ! This card just sparkles... Enjoy the rest of your week...Jen

I took these pictures very fast so I could get them on here, they are sort of blurry.. will take some better one's soon..

I hope all of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.. and remember all of the things you are thankful for.. Jen

Thanksgiving dinner's take eighteen hours to prepare.

They are consumed in twelve minutes.

Half-times take twelve minutes.

This in not a coincidence..

BATS !!!!! Hi everyone... so good to be in my new house, what a major job that was !! I do not intend to do that again ! Anyway, my husband was changing the light bulb in the porch light and he thought there was a dead mouse up in the socket but this is what was in there... a BAT !! YUCK !! I ran and got my camera took a picture and RAN back in the house.... OMG.. they are awful little things !!! I found out from the neighbors there are a lot of them around here, but they won't hurt you as long as you don't hurt them, sure !! As you can see he killed it with a screw driver, so now they are all going to be after us... Here is a picture of my scrap room in the process of being organized. The most boxes we had in the move were of.. you guessed it.. my scrap stuff (BIG smile)

What a mess..

I hope by the end of the week to have everything up and running. Hope you are all having a good weekend. see you soon. Jen
