Love Life *** Live Life

Happy Saturday! I have to make my post quick today I have a fun filled day of Easter activities for my son Caleb toady. We are going to be making some Easter goodies as well as coloring Easter eggs {wish me luck} and we are taking Caleb out on a date to the movies to see HOP! I think I might be more excited about this than him! LOL =D I'd seen a lot of these altered cards around using the Simply Sent Medallion Kit and thought what a great idea to change it up a bit and make it a little more personal. So I gave it a try and this is what I came up with, I ended up using this card for my March swap. Hope you liked it ladies. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your Easter weekend.

IMPRINTS Swap Winners

Happy Friday, Whoo Hoo! At our imprints meeting we always have a card contest. This time we had a few of the girls make 3-D projects which also made it fun and changed it up a bit. We had a tie this time and these were the 2 winners. They are both really cute and fun and so completely different. Definately great samples to have at workshops and classes. Thank you again Bev for another fun filled Imprints meeting. Keeping it short today I have a little one that is sick and is wanting to play trains. Patients on a 3 year old only lasts so long. Thank you for stopping by!

Springtime Swap

Happy Wednesday we are almost half way through with our week! Today's post is a card that I made for my Imprints swap and my 6Th swap group. This last Saturday I had a Imprints meeting that my up line Bev puts together she gets all of us demo's together and gives us highlights, new techniques and we all do a swap and share something new, this round there were 23 of us! WOW, that is a lot of SU! girls in one room and all you here is "oh that's so cute" and a ton of laughter, especially at my table it seemed like we were sorta of the loud ones. What can I say we were just having so much fun and laughing is good for the soul rite? Some of us were also surprised by a award that Bev handed out it was the DIVA award and I was shocked and excited to hear I was one of those lucky girls, I felt like I won the lottery... whoo hoo!!! Thanks Bev!!! If you want to join my Stampin' UP team and join a awesome group of fun and talented ladies then send me a email and let's chat lorrainetoll@att.net. I hope to hear from you =D. OK, back to my post this is a 4x4 card. The theme was blooming so I thought why not use my springtime DSP, I love it, the colors and the prints those are some of my favorite colors all wrapped up for me in this awesome designer paper. If this is one of your favorites be sure to pick it up before month's end and the occasions mini catalog retires. Drop me a line and let me know what you think I always love to hear from you!
