ORANGE MOOSE

The sparkle is back....

2011-03-29T21:44:00.002-07:00

I was told by my Doctor last week that the sparkle is back in my eye. And I feel it too. I feel like a new woman. I am loving my new weekday job. I am loving my friends and family who have stuck it out with me this year. And I am loving time to cook and clean and feel accomplished in the evening. I feel stronger, healthier, and basically better than EVER before. And that pretty much says it all.

Bday card

2011-01-28T00:05:00.002-08:00

This birthday card was made with one of my favourite Stampin Up sets. I adore paisley overall and I just adore this paisley stamp. Polka Dots and Paisley is the name of set. And the cute saying is in the set.

Stampin Up ink and paper. The flower brad was in my stash and alas I am in love with it. I will probably never find another like it, because I have NO idea where it came from.

Christmas cards

2010-11-21T21:56:00.002-08:00

I have been trying for over a week to get some creative mojo to make some Christmas cards. I have watched 5 Christmas movies. I have looked at all my Christmas stamps. I pulled out all of my patterned paper that is Christmasy. I have happily cheered when a skiff of snow fell one evening. I have looked at my previous year's cards. And finally yesterday I decided on the colors I am going to use for this year. And today I put together 25 Christmas cards. So let the Christmas cheer begin!!

Owl Gifties

2010-11-17T16:43:00.017-08:00

It started just before last Christmas when Rhonda asked if I liked owls. I responded with a resounding YES. And I was given this gorgeous wall hanging quilt at our "Ladies Who Lunch" Christmas Brunch gift exchange. Rhonda made it and I have had it on my wall in my living room ever since.

Then Rhonda surprised me with this cute quilted owl in the summer time. He is so cute sitting on my bookcase.

And today I received these two adorable tea towels from one of my best friends in the USA. They are in my kitchen colors and I love them already. It was a surprise treat and I am so excited about them.

.

Aren't they adorable!!

Also in the surprise package were these two tea light holders!! And they are so cute and so detailed.

I had to take side view pictures to show you their feet!! So cute!!

I think I may need to expand my home to include an office of owls. What do you think??

sultry

2010-10-31T17:51:00.001-07:00

This is what happens when you invite a friend over to stamp with you. 3 1/2 hours of talking and a 1/2 hour stamping. Grin. But we still each managed to make a card. And there you go.

Paper- Kraft and white cardstock. Basic Grey Sultry 6x6 paperpad. Ink- Stampin Up Pink Piourette, Kiwi Kiss, and Basic Black. Pearls- Kaiser Kraft. Stampin Up dimensionals. Flower Stamp- Stampin Up Happy Harmony set. Words- Impress.

Amuse me.

2010-08-31T22:03:00.002-07:00

Saw this Amuse saying and had to have two stamps to go with it. This recliner is one of them (Great Impressions). Cuttlebug you are my friend again after all this time. I have missed you.

Canvas

2010-08-30T14:49:00.014-07:00

My new canvas that I did with Stampin Up vinyl Decor Elements quote (pg. 29 in the 2010/2011 Definitely Decorative mini catalog). It is the small option, and definitely larger than it looks in the catalog. Flowers by Prima. Paint "cream" by Heidi Swapp. Buttons from Rhonda. The canvas is 24" h by 30" w. It is now hanging in my entryway.

What? A card

2010-08-02T14:02:00.002-07:00

"And when she could no longer hope, she did not stand still but walked on in the dark. I think when the sun rises upon them, some people will be astonished to find how far they have got on in the dark." --George MacDonald

another girl

2010-06-22T18:22:00.001-07:00

Somewhere there is another girl prettier than you, smarter than you, taller than you, skinnier than you. Another girl somewhere is more outgoing, more laid back, more interesting, more athletic. Another girl somewhere is not you. You may not be perfect, but someone someday will think you are. He will love you for each and every imperfection and flaw. He will wait all day just to see you and stay all night just to hold you. To him, you will be more than perfect, you’ll be the love of his life.

Digital

2010-03-29T01:17:00.002-07:00

I have officially ordered the Stampin Up My Digital Studio software. After my friend and demonstrator Sarah convinced me. Yep. It is time to start scrapping digitally. Cardmaking is still my first love and I think I may like this digital thing better. Yeah for a new computer with a massive hard drive. Whoo hoo!!

And I may have ordered enough just in the nick of time to get a Saleabration set or two. The Saleabration ends on Wednesday. So get to clicking and get your order in.

I ordered some of the new clear blockable stamp sets to try out. They are still red rubber with foam mount to use on the clear blocks. I am so excited!!

Oscars

2010-03-07T23:54:00.005-08:00

Okay so I was not a very good Oscar nominee movie watcher this year. But I did manage to make it to the movies for a couple of them. In the local movie theatre the arts council sponsors a mini Film festival of sorts every spring. It runs once a week for 6 weeks. It is my favourite time of year. (Okay, anytime there is a film festival within driving distance is my favourite time of year.) I went this last week and saw An Education at the film fest. It was fantastic. Not at all what I expected, and an amazing film all around. And it was well deserving of it's nominations.

Earlier in the year I saw The Blind Side. It made me cry and I did like it a lot.

Still on my list of movies I must see is Up in the Air.

And I have no desire to see Avatar at all, not one single bit. I don't even feel like linking to it. That is how little I care for it. Google it if you are still interested in it. I am not.

All this to say, No, I didn't get to see the Oscar's this year. I will catch up with the award winners later online.

CreAtively BlocKed

2010-03-02T22:50:00.003-08:00

Have been creatively challenged the past 9 months. Only made 2 cards at Christmas and not much else in the past 9 months. Today I got my haircut by my good friend Cindy at Tangles Hair Design here in Chilliwack. I was telling her my latest creative bug that I was inspired by. She encouraged me to follow through on it tonight. I picked up a kit at Classic Cards on Alexander and worked on it while watching LOST. However the kitten had other plans and this is what happened next.

Well I completed the first page at least. And at present the kitten is asleep in my lap again as I type this up.

Quote of the day

2009-07-12T12:41:00.003-07:00

"There are plenty of fish in the sea. But really, there's not. It's not just our imaginations. It would be great if decent men were as plentiful as jumping salmon in a rushing river, but they aren't. For every Mr. Darcy (and he's married, incidentally) there are a hundred Mr. Wickhams. Or in more contemporary terms, for every one of Colin Firth, there are several thousand Hugh Grants. The odds are against us. But what can I say-I'm a romantic, and I can't abandon the fantasy of Prince Charming altogether. What girl with a heart can? I mean, I'm not asking to feed the five thousand; I just want one good fish! I should give up the dream. Especially now, when common sense dictates that anyone possessing an IQ might want to take serious stock. If I were in battle, the general would yell, "Retreat! Retreat, stupid!" Kristin Billerbeck

This quote of the day is brought to you by one of my favourite people ever my friend Ang.

Hooray It's a boy!

2009-05-22T19:03:00.001-07:00

My coworker and friend had her 2nd baby boy yesterday. And I got to hold him when he was 7 hours old!! He is gorgeous. So being the good "auntie" that I am I went out shopping last evening for him and his big brother. I then made this card for them when I got home. I am really liking how it turned out for starting it so late in the evening.

Supplies:
Stampin Up Baja Breeze cardstock base and ink for the star. Basic Brown for the sentiment. Stampin Up Classic Backgrounds for the star, Wordsworth for the sentiment and the inner sentiment is Unity. Patterned Paper by Imaginisce. Nestabilities for the larger stars. And Stampin Up star and corners punches, plus some brads and ta-da it is done.

Cindy's birthday

2009-05-06T11:19:00.004-07:00

Yesterday Rhonda planned a surprise birthday lunch for Cindy. It was such a great time. The cute tea shoppe/bakery was delicious. And the details in the shoppe were adorable. Some of the tables were placed on old Singer sewing machine foot pedals. And there was an old door on the wall as decoration. Time flew by and it was so great to spend time together with Sarah, Andrea, Madelyn, Andrew, Rhonda, and Cindy! I think we should do it every month!

I made this tent topper card for Cindy, whose kitchen is green! I didn't make the connection though until after my card was made and then I squealed with delight. All the stamps are Unity, my new favourite stamp company. I even joined their monthly kit club! It really is a great deal, and I love all the stamps that I have from them already! The window scene stamp is from the May kit of the month. And the flowers are from the November kit of the month. I paper pieced the curtains with some Making Memories paper. And then colored the top, the cup, and the flowers with my Copics. The flowers on the curtains are Prima and the brads are Making Memories. Used my Nestabilities Labels 2 for the tent topper part of the card. Cardstock is all stampin up, except for the white which is from a LSS for copics so I am not sure of the brand name.

Ladies night out....and on location at the New Moon Set!!

2009-04-25T01:24:00.009-07:00

Rhonda, Cindy and I lived life out on the edge this evening. Their husbands will think we were crazy, but out at 8pm we went looking for the New Moon Film Set for apparent filming at Bella's house. They may have doubted our abilities. But they were wrong. We found the set lot and we heard the wolves howl. It was an awesome night out. Now we have to go back during the day for better pictures!!

Approaching the set from the side field gave us great light and a good side view of the set location, but we couldn't see Bella's house.

We think that we can see a trailer here, after being asked to leave the location and our fabulous side view. LOL.

The back view of the lot, yes the lights really were that noticeable, with night filming apparently happening.

Rhonda navigated us back and around to find a new approach, stealth as we can in a car with camera's flashing!

Where we stopped for a while to see if any more vans would be coming or going, just in case we could see a star or two.

A new approach from the road where the van was seen coming in when we were still way across and walking on the field. Notice the blurry car lights up ahead? Another car approached the front entrance and we followed them in.

As close as we could be to the front gate without being yelled at by security. Yes we understand you have a job to do, all we want is just a non blurry picture or two, sir! All in all a successful evening out with Rhonda and Cindy. I am so thankful for my Twilight crazy friends!! Only 208 days till we see it back to back in the theatre girls!!!!

Inspired....okay totally CASE'd

2009-04-24T12:36:00.004-07:00

I saw this cute card on Dawn McVey's blog and thought "Oh, I like that, and I have that punch." And my friend's birthday was coming up so I thought I am going to recreate that card. Here is card that was my inspiration. Okay I should say I totally CASE'd this card and I am not really ashamed of it. I love how this card came out!!! Thanks to Dawn McVey and her fantastic blog!! Then inspiration hit and I was able to come up with the previous cards on the 4 previous posts!! I love it when that happens!! So here is the card that got the creative juices flowing again!

Supplies:

Stampin Up Pink Pirouette Cardstock. Basic Grey Porcelain Paper. Stampin up curly label punch. Prima flowers. Bling from my stash. Stampin Up Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon and Chocolate Chip Ink. Sentiment from The Best Yet Stampin Up set. Corner rounder.

A plethora of stamps used today for this card. Stampin Up for the cup and steam. Lizzie Anne Designs for the sentiment. Inkadinkado for the circle distressed stamp (it reminded me of a coffee cup spill and I had to have it, in this case all my foam spilled out. he he) The foam is Liquid Applique and then colored with my Copic E35. The Ink is Stampin Up - Whisper White, Memento - Tuxedo Black, All My Memories - Caramel, Versamark. I embossed the sentiment with scented Gelly Powder by Gelatin Stamps, it is the Extra Foam Latte scent. The cardstock Chocolate Chip and patterned paper (I can't find the name of it) is Stampin Up.

Dragonfly

2009-04-07T01:02:00.000-07:00

Tried a new technique that I had seen online awhile back, stamped my Stampin Up vine from Baroque Motifs in Versamark and then re-stamped over the same area in Stazon white. The top lined up perfectly and looks fantastic, the bottom didn't line up as well and shows a bit more than I would like. Overall though I liked the look and would definitely try it again. The sentiment is from one of my favourite quote companies Stampers Anonymous. They always have great stamps and this one when I saw it I knew I had to have it for this year, my year of possibilities. The paper is leftover from another project and is by Imaginisce- Baby Powder King of the Crib. The cardstock is Stampin Up Kraft and Baja Breeze. The little dragonfly pebble is from Prima. Ribbon is from the stash. Scalloped punched by hand with the corner rounder and the double circle punch is Stampin Up.

Baubles from my LSS and don't have a company listed on them. Cuttlebug embossing folder.

ambrosia best wishes card

2009-02-19T22:04:00.000-08:00

Still had the Ambrosia Basic Grey paper out on the work table, so put together this card today. Used my new SU Cute and Curly set and pulled out the older SU Embrace Life set for the flowers.

Tin Box

2009-02-18T19:40:00.001-08:00

This movie is so my kind of movie.

Slumdog Millionaire. Saw it at the Towne Cinema after my 6th afternoon shift got out a little early, okay so at 2135, I knew I had to run over and see this film. This movie gets my Oscar vote this year for Best Picture. No I haven't seen any of the others. But this movie is totally my kind of movie. Big brilliant beautiful surprising heartwrenching and delightful. Love it. Will need to add it to the must buy collection.

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.
Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.

You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.
And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's" Your Word?

Alive with Possibility

2009-01-01T16:15:00.002-08:00

My word for 2009 is possibilities. And I have a subtitle that I am going with....Alive with possibility. I have the potential for so much this year and I want to seize the opportunities that come along. I am choosing to believe that anything is possible, ANYTHING.

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #12

2008-12-16T23:26:00.006-08:00

I so loved the piece of art in Esme and Carlisle's home in the movie Twilight and had to recreate it for my card with one of my favourite quotes. Of course most of us know what the inside of the card reads, "Awhile". The original rules for this challenge can be found here at Stamp Happens.

Quote of the day

2008-11-24T12:13:00.003-08:00

“Meaning is not something that you stumble across, like an answer to a riddle or a prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something. The ingredients are there. You are the only one who can put them together into that unique pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you.” -Anonymous

Twilight

2008-11-22T12:47:00.002-08:00

Have you gone to see it yet? Are you going to go see it? Despite the line up and the feeling of being old in the crowd, I went with my two friends last night. And let me tell you I loved the books so I had high expectations. And all I can say is if I get off in time tonight I am going again!

This quilt is amazing and it is being given away.

Good Riddance

2008-10-14T20:38:00.003-07:00

Good Riddance. Two more days to go at my old job. Then I am moving onward. I am starting fresh. I am beginning again. I am looking for change. I am looking forward to it. I know there will be a learning curve. I know that it won't be easy. I am ready to do it though. I am looking for a chance at something new. I am hopeful that this will be the start of a new life.

World Card Making Day 2008

2008-10-04T23:10:00.002-07:00

two cards I recieved

2008-09-25T18:56:00.007-07:00

The inside says "May all your wishes come true. Good luck".

The inside says, "good things come to those who wait".

The interesting thing is they both came in the same week, last week. They both came in a huge week in my life. I interviewed for a new job. I am contemplating my future. I am having dreams about a new life. I am waiting patiently to see who or what is to come in the future. I am waiting. I am being patient. It is difficult to be patient. It is difficult to wait. I am in anticipation. I am waiting expectantly. I am hoping for good things. I am still choosing Joy. This is the year.

Word of the year for Jill

2008-01-11T16:46:00.000-08:00

Last year I read Ali Edwards posts on choosing a word of the year and I even chose one, mindful. I didn't really do anything with it though. It was a sort of difficult word to follow through on. The year went by without me consciously living out being mindful.

This year I choose JOY. I choose joy because I have the Wordsworth stamp. Just kidding. I choose joy because at the end of the day I can look through all of the not so nice stuff and still find at least one thing that brings me joy. The choosing of joy has been inspired by the Mars Hill Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll who was doing a series on The Rebel's Guide to Joy from the book of Philippians. I have downloaded some of the pod casts of the sermons and have been watching them.

2008- I choose Joy!

And there you have it....

2008-01-10T21:17:00.000-08:00

I told you so!

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy

When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch
Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know.
From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up.
And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

Winter Wonderland

2007-12-18T10:37:00.001-08:00

Was able to go to Impress in U-Village Seattle with my friend before I flew home to Colorado. (Thanks A- you know I love that place!) Saw this stamp and this paper and fell in love. It had to come home with me. Mostly I love this Autumn Leaves paper because it reminded me of the big giant snowflake in the SU mini catalog that ended in November. I love this tree stamp because it is so geometric and yet soft.

Stamped it in Soft Sky classic ink. Mounted the patterned paper on Soft Sky as well. Had some photo corner punched out from Cindy and used brads to keep them together. The brad idea was from my SU demo Sarah. The ribbon is from my lss. I decided not to put a sentiment on this card yet, as I am not sure yet who or what I will use it for.

My first Christmas tree...

2007-12-13T02:50:00.001-08:00

Well, on my own and in my own place that is. Yes I have been living on my own for a while now, but this is the first year that I put up a tree. It is artificial. And I love it. Also, the new tree skirt includes my favourite thing- paisley!! :0 )

Caedmon - my nephew dog -

2007-12-13T02:41:00.000-08:00

This is Caedmon. He is my sister's new puppy. I got to see him when I was home. He is adorable. He is a Weimeramer. I am totally in love with him. Hence more pictures of puppies on this blog. I am such a sucker for puppies. :) But especially ones that are related to me now.

There and back again

2007-12-13T02:38:00.000-08:00

Got to go home to see my family for American Thanksgiving. It was so good. Enjoyed every moment of it. I got to see almost everyone that I wanted to. It was good to be with family.

2007-11-15T02:03:00.001-08:00

This is my card for Nancy and Cindy's Try This Challenge #2. This week's challenge was to use punches in a creative way.

This is all the stuff I had to take with me in my car to my friend's house in order to make that set of cards. he he! Gotta love the home front scrappin' and card makin' space. It requires so much less effort. At the end of the 2 day event- cuz I spent the night and we made cards the next day. My friend said- "you really need a tote on wheels!" Umm. I am not sure that it would help that much. But thanks for the advice, I will keep it under advisement. :) Hope that your Canadian Thanksgiving weekend was spectacular, and I hope that your world card making day was a success

This is the card I made for World card making day at my friend's house. It was a great day!!

This is from day 2 of our adventures!

dreaming about cards again

2007-10-07T22:41:00.000-07:00

Seriously love that I dreamed about stamps and stamping again!! ( see below post from Oct. 1) This stamp has been in my possession for years!! And it is a square flower in four sizes, you know the cube type of stamp. I dreamed that I used it and then punched it with my circle punch, and so that is what I did!

Supplies:
Cardstock- whisper white, Cool Caribbean- SU.
Stamps- flower- Deborah Farber designs, word stamp Short and Sweet-SU.
Ink- Versamark, basic black-SU
Metal flower-Making Memories.

Not a winner, but I love it anyway!

2007-10-01T22:50:00.000-07:00

2007-09-18T15:57:00.000-07:00

Went out this past week to find my favourite Yankee Candles for fall- Pumpkin Spice. Have been burning it off and on for the past 10 days I guess. It is beginning to feel like fall. The leaves on the trees have some changes and I love it all!! I am a fall girl!! It is my season that I find great delight in, which is ironic for a girl who doesn't really like change. Pulled out some cute patterned paper and these fall stamps that I had bought last year and went to creating this past week on my days off. So here are the two fall cards I did.

Ink- Stampin Up Classic inks More mustard, Chocolate chip, True Thyme. Ribbon- SU True Thyme. Punch- Marvy. Other Circle Cutter.

Okay, so the trees in real life aren't this colour yet, I was imagining a later fall for this card. :) This card size is 4 1/2 x 4 1/4. Just something new for a change.

Patterned paper- KI, Cardstock- Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand, Whisper White- SU. Ink- Classic Ink SU Chocolate Chip. Stamps- Lovely as a Tree set-SU, Small Script- SU. Oval Punches- SU, Brad- unknown, Other Colored the tree with my Twinkling H2O's.

I ended up with several cards that I was quite pleased with. I even made this book mark which I used while reading my book for the week at camp: Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam.
