Scared..... but here goes nothing.

So I have always read all the challenges and some of them I have the craft items or the stamps etc. that would work but I have always been scared to enter. Afraid that I wasn't good enough at coloring or putting cards together. Thinking that they would look silly. Well I took a deep breathe, swallowed hard and said to my self ( self it's now or never and you might as well get it over and done with.) LOL So with that being said and done I finally decided that I would take the plunge and enter my very first card challenge with a set of stamps that I won at Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps a little while back. Right before Easter. They are really a very cute set and I have been having a lot of fun with them. Any ways the challenge I am entering is Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps Tic Tac Toe #175. Blue ,Gems, Dies Here goes nothing..... I know I still need a lot of practice taking picture of my cards but on this day I had two beautiful assistants. They are two of my grandchildren. Lilliana who is 4 and Jacob who is 2. They are just too darn cute and wanted to help grandma and of course I couldn't say no! Well that's it for today. I will try really hard to post more often now that I am feeling more secure in myself. http://kraftinkimmiestamps.blogspot.ca/2013/04/challenge-175-tic-tac-toe.html Hugs, Sabrina

I'm so excited!!!

The day before Easter my oldest daughter came to me and asked me if I could help her make some Easter cards to go on some packages that she was going to make for her nieces and nephews. Of course I was thrilled to help her. So we sat down together and came up with a plan. We both designed the card and put the first one together then she did the rest of them all 7 which means she made eight cards. Woo Hoo!! The next day at the Easter party she told me ( Mom... that was so much fun can you show me how to make more.?) How about that? I won her over just by making a card for her son Jacob on his first birthday. That's all for now till later hugs, Sabrina

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile....

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile my life seems to be real crazy lately. I had to have surgery on my elbow. I have some form of Carpal Tunnel. Basically my funny bone isn't funny any more. LOL. Sorry bad sense of humor. My funny bone went bad so they had to go in and move nerves and tendons around. Then Easter was here so I had to work fast. on making Easter cards with a sore elbow, but all in all they didn't turn out to bad. Actually they are kind of cute if I do say so my self.( Patting my self on the back). My husband and I also went to a Ice hockey game with his family in Stockton ca the night before Easter. So I got the cards done right before we had to leave for the party to watch our grandchildren hunt for Easter eggs. It was a very long week. Hugs, Sabrina

Getting Ready for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone, I know it's been a very long time since I have written anything but I have been watching my grandchildren and been on vacation. Now that I am back I am trying to hurry up and make my first ever card for my grandchildren. I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of post of my favorite bloggers and read some of their tutorials so I hope I do every one justice. My first card that I have done so far the stamp is Playful Kittens from Whismy Stamps. I just love all their stamps I could go broke buying everything from there.LOL Back to the card I colored the kitten in distress inks. Used Spellbinders Label Eleven.The papers are from DCWV the Glitter Sweet Matstack. Gorgeous papers and cardstock from Coredinations. The rhinestones on either side of the card I picked up from Hobby Lobby.

I hope you enjoyed the card and Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my first card. Have a great day! Hugs & Kisses Sabrina

I'm in craft room this afternoon trying to get thins done before Christmas and I just don't seem like I am getting any where. It's cold and raining outside and all I really want to be is back in bed. Do any of you ever just have one of those kind of days? Any ways so I thought I would put a few thoughts down first and then try and get back to what I was doing. I am trying to make a Christmas Tree card and boy does my hand hurt from punching out all of those pine branch's. Once I am done I will take a picture of it and I will try and post it on here so everyone can see it.
Well I better get back to my card. I will try and post something again tomorrow.

First Time For Everything

 December 19,2012


First time for everything.


I decided that it is time in my life that I should start writing things done not only so I won't forgot them but also because it will or should help me improve in the things that I enjoy the most of, Like Stamping ,making cards, Scrapbooking, and of course my love of cake decorating.
I can only hope that by doing this I will improve. Only time will tell. I guess we will all see if I can.
