I must tell you, I have this guilty pleasure is to get as many presents as possible. I know that's greedy of me, but it's really the joy of opening up whatever it is inside. Don't get me wrong, I do give my fair share as well. I like the wrapping portion of gift giving... don't ask, I just do.
Anyway, this is a very cool card, I have to say. Aside of the fact that it's festive, I actually combined 2 sets of Xmas stamps and put this together. Long time SUers and fans would recognize the girl, who used to pull a small sleigh, that may carry a puppy, a tree, or something. But, newer SUers like myself would remember the present sleigh from a recent catalog. At any rate, I just matched the 2 up next to each other so it looks like she's pulling a big sleigh with tons of presents in it. No Stamp-a-mah-jig was used. Look ma, no hands!
I also did the liquid applique to do her fluff on her dress and hat, as well as snow. I kinda went overboard there, but trust me, it's just so fun, I can't help it!
Well, it's hot and rainy out, so hopefully this will cheer things up a bit... hey, I can dream, can't I?

Smile!
So, yesterday was so swamp that I didn't get to tell you guys that I went to this Scrap-a-ganza Expo in town this weekend. It's really a round up of all the local stores and get to look at some make n' takes, and some products.
I like that idea because all the stores in the metroplex are at least 20 miles from where I live. And mind you, I live in the middle of the city... go figure! 4th largest city in the country, I have to go 20 miles to go to a decent stamp store. No wonder, 90% of my stamps came from mail order or internet.
Anyhoo, so one of the vendor carries Bam Pop!. They're real fun kinda of stamp company. Some of their stuff is not my style, but the robots are cute! I saw the polaroid stamp just have to get it. They're just too cute!
I also got some Breezy Rub-on. If you haven't had a chance to play with it, I highly recommend it. They are kinda like the ones Making Memories have where you rub on the image, it sticks and you can put foil or flock on it. Well, Breezy's let you do foil, flock, AND glitter. Oooh ahhh...
Now, I will admit, glitter is messy, but uber fun... Anyway... shake it, like a polaroid pictures!

Me and my ice cream
Me thinks this card is a tad too busy...... I went totally crazy with the paper piecing business... at some point it just went to the point of no return... Maybe I'll put this thru Stamping Critique and see what can be done to savage this.
Sorry guys, I'm uber busy with month end stuff as well as audit for a fellow manager. So, this is going to be short.
To answer Heather's question about what I bought in Vegas: I got some shirts at one of the discount boutique. Also got some cheesy souvenir T-shirts for myself and family members. Most of my money went to the yummy food that's available there. We missed out on Zappos' outlet. :( But, I did put down $40 on the slots and got zero back. Boo!!!

Orange flower
So, while I am waiting for my new Verve stamps to arrive. I did an oldie but goodie. I'm telling you that flower they have is so versatile, I've never had so much fun to ink the same image over and over and over and over. Talk about inking for my money's worth.
I think this weekend is the first in a while where I have nothing planned... hopefully, it'll stay that way so I can stamp more. Plus, all the new ones I brought back from Vegas. They're begging to be stamped.
Alright, better go back to the grind stone, I'm here holding down the fort once again.

Cukoo
I know birds and owls are all the range these days... so when I saw these cute owls I have to have it! I need new embellishments like I need a hole in my head, but let me tell you, it truly makes me happy.
So, anyhoo... I made this card for work's card drive, which is to be donated to either Children's hospital or Veteran hospital. I think it's cute... I'd love to get a card like that. Not that I'm tuning my own horn or anything. =P
Anyway, talking about materialism and buying more of the same thing. Well, not exactly the same. But, did you all see that Verve got new stamps? I can't help myself and bought some. So, hopefully they'll get here soon.
In other news, I got my contract and W-9 from Paper Crafts, so I'm thinking I'm getting near to be published... I'm stoked! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
4 down 1 to go, weekend is almost here!

Popsicle
Well, it's summer time... so it's only appropriate to have something Summer-related to show.
You know when I stamped this I was wondering when was the last time I had a Popsicle. It must be a while if I can't even remember... I do remember when I was younger, my parents would let me buy them and stock them in the fridge. That I do remember.
Anyway, I think I deserves a pop, but it'll just go directly to my waistline, so I'm kinda ok not having it...

Have some flowers...
Well, right before I left for Vegas, I got my new MFT stamps. So, I can't wait to ink it up when I got back.
It was the one with the dogs... I'm personally is a cat person, but I do have a lot of friends who are dog lovers, so it's natural to get it for them. But, the more I looked at it, the more I'm thinking, the lady doesn't have to be holding leash to dogs... she can be holding whatever she wants... say, some flowers. :P
So, here she is... holding flowers. I'm trying to find a purse stamp that is in proportion to her, so she can be holding a purse. Oooh, what about shopping bags... this is so cool!!!
