I was born in Canada and lived there most of my life but in 2011 I moved to the US. I currently live with my wonderfully supportive hubby & super cute Shih Tzu, Maddi, here in beautiful Houston, Texas. I luv to create and share with others. I sell my handmade creations on Etsy & Ebay. My favorite things are butterflies, fairies, all things pink and of course anything sweet. I'm addicted to Twilight and I luv Robert Pattinson/Edward Cullen!

I attended a Stampin' Up! event on the weekend and everyone was asked to bring a creation they made to show and get each other inspired so I made up this yummy card. Alot of fab creations inspired me and I learned several new techniques that I can't wait to apply to my creations. Scroll down a couple of posts to see pix from the event.
Yesterday I attended a Stampin' Up! event for downlines. These are the make & take cards that I created at the get together. Jenn, the upline hosting the event, made up example cards and we all had to create the same beautiful cards. We were all running around making cards like mad. It was like the Iron Chef, the Food Network tv show, of card making because we were all rushing to get them all done and quickly...lol.
These two lovely ladies are Katey (on the left), my upline, & Gaile (on the right), Katey's downline. I'm so glad I met them because they are super nice and so helpful.
Here are some pix of the ladies that atteneded the Stampin' Up! event. There were 26 of us there. It was a very fun event. I learned alot of wonderful techniques, saw alot of wonderful creations and meet alot of really nice people. I can't wait for the next event!!
There's Jenn (fourth from the right), upline and host of the event and Laura (fifth from the right), Jenn's upline. Both these ladies are super fun and helpful. Thank you Jenn for hosting the wonderful event, for all the lovely goodies you provided for use to make & take and the awesome prizes. I learned alot from everyone and can't wait to apply what I have learned to my creations and workshops.
I made this bear card last night. I really luv pink and brown together. Pink is my fav colour so I like to use it as often as possible :o) This card is currently for sale on Etsy.

Some pix of Maddi, all taken on different days, sleeping on her fav body pillow. She luv's to sleep in between the top of the pillow and the sofa arm rest. The first time she tried sleeping only on the sofa arm rest but ended up rolling off and falling on the floor. Luckily she was not hurt or injured. She learned her lesson after the fall and now only sleeps between the pillow and arm rest or on the pillow. When I am laying on the pillow she will either sleep on my chest or on my shoulder. Doesn't she look adorable on my shoulder. She just luv's to cuddle with her mommy.
I made this "World's Cutest Dog" scrapbook page layout the other day. I had to use my fav colour, pink, on this sweet layout. I luv, luv, luv pink! If I could I would paint the outside and the inside of my entire home pink...heehee. Hubby is not into that so I will have to stick to just painting my craft room pink. This 2 page layout is currently for sale on Etsy.
