I wish this is a better picture... but, considering... you can kinda tell about the card, right?
This is all SU products... I like the DP very very much... Reminds me of the BG DPs... Wow, let's see how many shorten abbrivations we can go for in one sentence.
Anyway, I just have to say, I love their ribbon, nice solid color and silky... just so good that I can't stand it. Don't worry... again just window shopping... much like yesterday.
Haha... yesterday Michelle must think I was crazy w/ all those purchases... I wish... only wishful thinking... maybe I'll put it on my wish list since bday will be in couple of months. I tallied up all that stuff, it's close to $500 *jaw dropped*... there's just no way... haha... like I said, wishful thinking....

Letter...
Well, I finally got around to doing Vday stuff... seriously, I used to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Valentine's day stuff... this year for some reason just not as into it. More I'm distracted...
There are all these great stamps out there, and as they say, too many stamps, too little time. Yesterday, in avoidance of work, I was window-shopping around for stamps... so get this:
I want 10 sets from My Favorite Things truly, I just really 4 of them. And they give you free shipping for $40, but those particular 4 won't qualify me. Boo.
5 sets from Lizzie Anne total to $89 no free shipping... boo. I know I'm little late in the game to join, but they do have some fun stuff.
I want 4 sets from All That Scrap that's about $72, luckily they ship for free for any order over $10. Good thing is that these girls have tastes and also carry MFT & Lizzie Anne, so that free shipping bit is very very very helpful!
4 sets from Kim Hughes birdies total up as $70... don't think they have free shipping
Then, grand finale of them all, 12 sets from Paper Trey tally to $231. And yes, there is free shipping for orders over $40.
This is insane!!!! Cannot be.... I mean, I need stamps like I need a hole in my head, but seriously.... Gah!
Anyway, back to this card... This is my first Vday card of the year. It's good color combo, I think. But it is a tad muted. I was trying so hard not to buy more new stuff... so trying to work off what I have... So, I dug up my Making Memories Romance card set, and have had it. I like it... because it is almost saying thru that letter, loves me/loves me not... very appropriate. Hope you enjoy it.

Princes & Frogs
This card is dedicated to my single girlfriends... Inside of the card it said, Frogs, Princes, I've kissed them all. So true, so true... I can only empathize, as once a single girl myself. There are days that you have good dates, and there are days, which are just like that stamp... you sit there and listen to them blab about whatever they want, and it's a very one-sided conversation. Luckily, that's not a problem anymore... thanks, honey!
This is one of my favorite stamps by InkyAntics... It's sassy, it has attitude, and it just said so much without it saying anything. Plus, I'm really into the thin line that they have, so that's what made it a great stamp for me. Wish they have more new stuff soon!
Short post, not a whole lot to report, hope everyone have a great day!

Too cool
**warning** commercial time
This is truly NOT a purposeful commercial, but trust me, by the time you're done reading, you'd feel like you got slammed into a commerical.
I don't know if you've played w/ the Build-a-brad set... but it's da bomb! You stamp something small, you have this see thru sticker, and you stick it on top of a brad, and it becomes whatever it is you want. How cool is that?! I know, I'm behind of the times.... but I ordered it as soon as I can.
Anyway, I got my catty and there are stuff I want, but since I have yet another friend signed up, I want to save it for her, and also wanted to see what Sale-a-bration has to offer. Frankly, this year's Sale-a-bration there wasn't anything screaming at me as a 'MUST HAVE', so I think my pocket book is safe for now.... but that said, hopefully they have better products coming out soon!
Ok, talk about this card, this is a very 'boyish' colored card for me. But the paper and the ribbon just sucked me in. It's a great match. So, even though the center is a small flower, you don't feel it. That's why it's da bomb! Alright, have to finish work... chat later.

A birdie told me...
This is another one of my Stamp group project. I just like playing w/ the DPs, they're awesome. There are so much out there. Now, if clothes would work that way, that'd be awesome.
Seriously, I know Chester does some papers with MAMBI, but they also sell purses and totes. I've also seen kids wearing pants of the exact patterns. So, I know they are out there.
Now, sometimes I see clothes and I thought, that should be a patterned paper. Alas, it's easier said than done. Not that I'm complainin' as I have a whole collection of DPs that I love to look at and not touch... I'm sure there's a collector in all of us.
Anyway, this card is all SU again. I've actually made a boo boo... the inside said 'A birdie told me...' and then it should say, 'it's your birthday'. But, you know... I'd figure I can go for ironic. Like: hey, it's your bday, a little birdie told me. You think that'll fly? Hmm...

Coaster Calendar
So... this is a very neat calendar that I made during stamp group/therapy time. I thought the tutorial was on SCS, but I can't find it. If anybody see it, I'd like to give credit where it's due.
Unfortunate for me, this stamp is in a hostess set, so I won't be able to use it again... but that's what I'm saying... it's cool to pay a flat fee and just use whatever stamps I want. But, downside is that I won't be able to use that again... maybe the next round.
Anyway, this is a neat calendar... and I like it for my desktop. It's made out of 2 coasters that are decorated with DP, and one side has the calendar. And the hole punch for the ribbon is punch thru w/ a Crop-a-dile. So, it's real easy to make.
That said, Martha Stewarts site has a very pretty calendar for download. It fits the size of a CD case, so should anybody is interested in doing one, that's the place to go.
Anyway, sorry for the short post, I have 2 calls and a meeting today, have to be organize.
Have a great day!

Hooray for stamp group
Finally, I finally made it to the Stamp group and hang out with some ladies. I tell you, despite the fact that I'm the youngest in the group and asides from crafting I have very little relating to the group, they're all wonderful people and that's what made it fun. We all help each other out and we make changes to different projects and stuff. It was fun time to be had by all. That really makes the 45 mile drive worth it. I know, it's crazy I live in the 4th largest city in the country, and have to go to a suburb to attend a stamp group... how crazy is that?!
Anyway, the SU Demo is awesome, and I know there are plenty of demos out there, but seriously, she's so nice and gather herself a nice bunch of ladies that makes me come back time and over again. She got a new place and since she was the first one built out in the neighborhood, it was kinda scary at night that there's no houses or lights around. But, like I said, her and her crew really makes up for alot of the little things.
This is one of the projects I did. I love going to her because I pay $10, $15 include the new catty, and I get to use all her supplies and she has some sample projects to get our juice flowing. This is one of those... it's just so simple and elegant. No thrill but classy. I'm loving Ruby Red right now... it came out less 'in-your-face' and much more soothing than I remembered.
Have you check out the new SU catty yet? It is online. I must say there are alot of new stuff didn't inspire me like some of their older stuff, but I'm lovin' this Embrace Life set. Maybe its time to revisit the catty.
