The vampire got me....

I am afraid to say that I have been bitten by the Twilight Vampires....omg..I can't put the books down. I am now on book #3 Eclipse, 1/2 way done reading it. I flew through book #2. This series is so captivating...never a boring moment!!! Sadly because of this I haven't been scrappin hardly at all...lol...there may be hope for me this week, we will see. Pink Cat Studio released a new stamp called Sweet Pea...which I have ordered and can't wait for it to arrive!!! Ok.... off to read some more.....

My new fav book...

This is my new favourite book or I guess series, I couldn't put it down...I have finished the first one, now I am waiting for the second one. My husband and I watched the movie last night and I am actually disappointed with it. If you didn't read the book first you wouldn't understand what is going on in the movie and they left out some important parts...I think anyway....
So here I wait for the second book....

Easter Cards

The first card was made using my fav stamp "Lily" from Pink Cat Studio!! I coloured her in using Copic Markers and the paper is from Close to My Heart. The last 2 cards are kind of boring....can't say they are my favourites but oh well....the stamp used is from CTMH and the paper is from Stampin Up!!

Cowboy Cards

The stamp used for these cards is from Lizzie Anna Designs. Simply Singles Cowboy. I have picked up a few of her stamps and they are all very cute!! The paper I used is called Sarsparilla from CTMH.
