Year In Review - Some of my favorite cards from 2011

2011-12-30T06:00:00.000-05:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is going to be a year of goals and not resolutions for me. The word goal sounds more positive to me and something I can work towards and be proud of...not like a promise (resolution) that I end up breaking.
My Goals For 2012
1. Be happy with what I have - Frugal is in da house.
2. Work on becoming more healthy and creating healthy habits - Healthy.
3. Last...but certainly not least...I will serve God.
THAT'S IT! Nothing overwhelming and definitely attainable.

My prayer for 2012 is for health & happiness. Most importantly, I pray for my mom and dad. Their health has been declining and I want them to feel better and get better and stay with me for a long time.

On to my year in review - here are some of my favorite cards from 2011

I hope you enjoyed my creations from 2011

and I wish you a happy, healthy, creative 2012

Happy New Year Cards

2011-12-26T19:02:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone....
Are you surviving the holidays? I am by the skin of my teeth LOL. Well I've started having a little anxiety....not sure why...but, I've been busy in my room trying to keep my mind off of it and here are a couple of little cards and envelopes I made. If you have a good remedy for an anxiety buster...I'd love to hear it. Look for my Year In Review post coming up in a few days. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone....
This is the best time of year for me. All the joy and love in the air. I love all the colors, songs, food and it just seems like everyone is in an especially good mood. I know why....it's because we are preparing to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ....now there's a reason to be in a good mood.
Well, today is Mary's CardzTV Challenge #2 and it's a Crafty Christmas. All of my design team sisters have just made the most wonderful projects. They are an awesomely, talented, creative group of ladies that I have just grown to care about so much. I'd like to share my project with you using the "Home For Christmas" stamp set and also let you know that Mary is offering 2 sets of stamps (Encouraging Thoughts & Make A Wish) to the winner of this challenge. Her stamps are just awesome....stamp once and PERFECTO. Ok...enough of my chatter LOL. Hope you enjoy my card.

Happy Thanksgiving

2011-11-23T17:35:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone....
I want to wish all of you a blessed Thanksgiving. I love this crafty community and I'm thankful for all of my wonderul friends.
Tomorrow we will be having my oldest son Scott and his wife over and my youngest son Michael. We ran to the store tonight because I didn't think I had enough dessert and we thought we'd better buy a bigger turkey. Better to have too much than not enough. We're having turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, corn casserole, noodles, crescent rolls, cranberry sauce and for dessert we're having a pumpkin roll and cherry delight.
Maybe I can talk my boys into putting up my tree ;o)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND FAMILY

p.s. thank you to the person that posted this cute pic on FB...it's adorable :)

Throwback Thursday Cricutless Challenge

Hello Everyone...

Possibly My Last Evening In Pain

2011-08-28T23:02:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone...
Well I'm sure those of you who know me pretty well know that I've had a lot of back problems since January. Tomorrow I'm getting an injection in my back. It's hard to believe that after being in pain everyday 24/7 nonstop for the last almost 9 months that one little shot is going to make it stop. I have prayed that this will be the relief I've been longing for and I have faith that the Lord will help me.
I just wanted to blog about this so it will remind me to continue to be the person I am now. I have always been soft hearted but I am more so now. I have more compassion for the person who walks slow in front of my car at the store instead of being impatient and wanting them to hurry. I have always been the type of person to let my health go and say...I'll start a diet on Monday or maybe go to the gym for a few months and fizzle out. I now have been shown that I took the simple task of just getting out of my car and walking into the gym for granted....it can and has been taken away from me in a second.
It's hard to believe that this is my life. I never imagined not leaving my house for days because I can't. 99% of the time I'm ok...but sometimes I get tired and cry. It's hard having a stabbing pain in my back all the time. When I clean my kitchen or run into Walmart for 15 minutes...it takes me days to recuperate.
I know this is going to post on my Facebook. If you would...please say a prayer that this injection is my answer for relief. I would just appreciate it so much. My appointment is at 9:30 tomorrow morning and the injection will be at 10:30. Maybe you could send some good vibes my way around that time.

Hawaii Blog Hop

Aloha Everyone...
What a crazy week. I'm glad we're having this hop...it lightens my heart. Thank you Nicolette for hosting such wonderful blog hops.

If you would like to start at the beginning, hop on over to Nicolette's blog. Here is my card I came up with. Have a great weekend.

Black & White project with a pinch of pink

2011-08-18T23:37:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone...
So this evening I decided to challenge my design team sisters with a black and white project and only a little hint of pink. These are 3x3 notecards and the stamps are from Pink by Design that I won from Kassidy over at Inking It Up Crazy. I just love the stamps. I hope you like my cards. Have a great evening.

Queen of my Craftroom - Altered Project

2011-08-16T23:22:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone...
This weeks challenge for Queen of my Craftrooms design team is an altered project. It could be a box, can, pail, etc.... I totally scraplifted this idea from my sweet friend Emma over at My Creative Time. These are Christmas giftcard sleeves and they are Cricutless. This was a fun, mindless project. I had some Christmas chipboard stickers from last year, used some scraps and a little ribbon and it took no time at all...I think they turned out cute. Have a great week.

Peachy Keen - Let's Face It Friday

2011-08-14T01:01:00.000-04:00

Hello Everyone...
Peachy Keen Stamps is having a challenge over on their blog. The challenge is to make a shaped card and also use Peachy Keen Face stamps. I love, love, love Peachy Keen Stamps. I will never forget calling Kathy and telling her that I had lost my carrot nose from one of my Face Parts set and my husband and I had rummaged through the trash can looking for it thinking I may have swept it into the trash with scrap papers. She said...oh you didn't have to do that, I'll send you a carrot nose. I offered to pay her...but she wouldn't let me. That's awesome customer service. Anyway, here is a card I came up with for the challenge. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Cricut Cardz Challenge - Straight From The Heart

2011-08-11T13:45:00.000-04:00

Hello Everybody...
Mary over at the Cricut Cardz blog is having a challenge. It's to make a Thank You card using a heart. But the challenge is to NOT use pink or red. I found out it seems red is in just about everything. Although on my card the little flowers on the house look red...they are dark orange...I promise :o)
Here is the card I came up with.

Yellow, Green & Orange

2011-08-10T22:09:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone...
Here is a cheerful, little card I made. I saw these colors on scrapwithsuzy.blogspot.com but come to find out these colors are for a challenge over at thepapervariety.blogspot.com. The challenge is to use the colors yellow, green & orange. It's a Citrus Color challenge. Also, I shared these colors with a design team I'm on queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com. I hope they enter there's as well...they are a talented bunch of ladies. Here's what I came up with.

A Blessing...

2011-08-07T19:03:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone...
I'm sure those of you who know me knows that I've been having some really bad back problems. Well... it can get quiet depressing. I'm not able to go back to a job that I love and I stay around the house most of the time (alone) except the days I have to go to physical therapy and then I spend the next couple of days trying to recuperate. So recently I came across this AMAZING lady that writes poetry, she is a digital scrapbooker and just an awesome person. Her name is Thena Cullen Smith. So...one day I just opened up Facebook and this poem is the first thing I saw. I know that God put it there for me and I know that He has placed Miss Thena in my life for a reason. This poem was such a blessing and an encouragement to me...I wanted it out all the time so I can read it every day. I made a plaque out of it and I just love it. Not my work...but Thenas. Thank you again Miss Thena. I'm grateful to have found such an kind hearted, woman of God.

Christmas in July Blog Hop

2011-07-23T07:17:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone....
Welcome to the Christmas in July Blog Hop. If you just came from visiting Pam then you are in the right place.
I remember when Christmas was over this last year and I didn't want to quit making Christmas projects. I love Christmas. I love what Christmas is about. To celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ brings joy to my heart.
I want to thank Miss Nicolette for hosting this blog hop. She is a wonderful coordinator. Thank you Nicolette. This is where you will find the beginning of our blog hop http://www.beyondscrapin.com
So...on to the hop. I LOVE, LOVE this cartridge. Jolly Holidays...it was the last one on the shelf. I can't believe I was able to get it because my husband and I didn't leave the house on Black Friday until late in the evening. Phew...that was lucky.
Who loves the movie Elf? You'll recognize the sentiment if you have seen that moving a zillion times like we have. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies. I also love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause and Trapped in Paradise too.
Here is my card...I made this one for my brother, Jimmy. I think he'll get a kick out of it. I hope you like it.

My husband and I have a tradition to go down to Metamora, IN for their annual Canal Days flea market. It's like our kick-off to fall. We just love it. I hope you enjoy.

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge - Wild Card or Just Because

2011-07-11T08:10:00.000-04:00

Good Morning...
How is everyone doing? Blogger seems a little messed up...I can't even see my friends/followers anymore. Anyway, I decided to participate in Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge. The challenge is to use the Wild Card cartridge or the Just Because Cards cartridge. Also, you are to incorporate dry or heat embossing. I used the Birds & Swirls embossing folder and adhesive pearls from Recollections. I was pleased with the way this card came out. I also used some of Emma's stamps. I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed week.

Operation We R Grateful - Get Well Card

2011-06-18T20:23:00.000-04:00

Happy Weekend Everyone...
I'm so thankful for our troops. I am married to retired Tech Sgt. Carl Pollock who spent 20 years and 28 days in the U.S.A.F. It's hard being a military family. The challenges that both sides face are sometimes unbareable. But we make it through and we're strong.
I'm also so thankful for Kassidy at InkingItUpCrazy. She is a wonderful, giving person and I love it that she is hosting Operation We R Grateful. We are making cards to send to the troops so they have something to send to their loved ones. Go check out all my design team sisters wonderful creations here.
This is a card that I made and will go to somebody in the military to send to a loved one that isn't feeling well. I "hop" you like it ;o)

Masculine Birthday Card

2011-05-03T13:41:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone...
I made this masculine birthday card for a swap I'm having with our design team (queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com). It's soooo hard to come up with something masculine. But I think the papers and the swirly's make it look pretty/masculine ;o) Hope you like it. Have a great day.

The Ultimate $1 Stamp Give Away :o) Spring Cleaning

2011-04-02T20:23:00.001-04:00

***Give Away Closed***

Hi Everyone....
I am doing some spring cleaning and came across some "impulse buys" that I probably won't use. These are just some stamps from the $1 bin and if you can use them...you can have them. I will be drawing from comments on this post. So...once I get 50 comments, I will draw a name. Also, only if you like my blog/work...I'd like it if you became a follower.

Simple Little Strawberry Smile

2011-04-01T18:20:00.000-04:00

Happy Friday Everyone...
It's raining here right now. There is nothing cozier than to go up to my room and do some crafting when it's cold and rainy. Lately I have just been relaxing with my color and paper choices and feel like it's been so much more enjoyable. I have been wanting to cut a strawberry and add a Peachy Keen stamped face...I've seen others do it and I think it's so adorable. Here is my simple little 4x4 card. I hope you like it. Have a great weekend.

Monochromatic Chocolate Chip Cookies

2011-03-31T16:59:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone.....
Have you ever just been sitting there and get an idea for a card and before it leaves your head, you have to run into your scrapbooking room and make it? Well that's what happened to me. And for some reason all my thoughts were in shades of chocolate LOL. What a surprise. I just thought this little chipmunk? was so cute and I love the sentiment. I hope you like it.

Design Team Day - Video and card

2011-03-29T05:55:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone... Today is design team day for inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com. Our challenge was to use our favorite cartridge (not so challenging). My favorite one lately was given to me by a sweet design team member named Lisa. This video was done especially for my sweet friend, Kassidy and the card was made for my sweet friend, Carol. I hope you both like it. My video making skills need a lot of tweaking, so let me know what kind of info I'm lacking and what I can do to make it better. Input needed LOL.

Ok...for some reason I can't add my video to this post. Here is the url

I hope you enjoy. Susan

Good Morning All...
Today is design team day for InkingItUpCrazy and our challenge was to make a masculine card. Well... this was a real challenge for me because I always want to add bows, buttons and Stickles and didn't feel like there was a place for them on a "Man Card". So here is what I came up with. This is my second attempt....the other one went in the trash LOL. I hope you like it. Let me know whatcha think.

Go check out my other design team sisters man cards. They are a talented bunch of ladies. Have a great day! Susan

DT Project

Good Morning All...

I am so blessed to be on two design teams and both have such wonderful members. I did a 2 for 1 project for this. I have been a little short on time and inspiration.
I'm sure some of you have seen my posts on Facebook that I've been going through a rough time with my youngest son who moved back home with some very expensive baggage. That has now been resolved. He got a job and has been able to move out on his own. Now I can get back to my life.
Anyways, I'm feeling good...I feel like my mojo is back and my inspiration and good, crafty friends are great.
Here is my project: For Inking It Up Crazy our challenge was to do a layout. For Queen of My Craftroom we had a color challenge of chocolate brown and hot pink and this is what I came up with. I hope you like it.
Also, Kassidy over at Inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com has a challenge on her blog for a layout. She has Mr Linky ready for your projects.

Here is the recipe:

Have a WONDERFUL day! Susan

Exploring Cartridges: Paisley

2011-02-24T09:30:00.001-05:00

Good Morning All...

Kassidy from Inking It Up Krazy ask me to do a project with her exploring the Paisley cartridge.
I like the Paisley cartridge because it reminds me of the 70's. It's very versatile and kind of hippy like. The color possibilities for this cartridge are endless. Such cute cuts too. This is definitely a girly cartridge. Thanks Kassidy for suggesting this cartridge...I had so much fun creating this card.
I hope you enjoy and let me know whatcha think.

Here is a card I came up with...it definitely makes me feel Springy. I hope you like it...let me know what you think.
