Another Holiday Card

This is another creation of Lorita Koehn that I made this past weekend. This card was even more simpler to make than yesterdays card but just as beautiful (and no cutting!!!!) I hope to add new cards every day for the rest of the month on my blog and also to my facebook page (search from Stampin Up With Diane... follow me there!)

Almost Holiday Time...

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I know I did. This card that I made this weekend was created by Lorita Koehn another Stampin Up! Demonstrater that I met at the Atwater Fall Festival. I loved her work so I decided to check out her class. This card was super easy (except I hate cutting & therefore the cutting doesnt look that good...lol) and the colors are gorgeous together. I have another card that I made that I will post tomorrow!!

Fall is in the Air...

Good Morning everyone, Welcome to Scrapbook Place's October Blog Hop! You should be arriving from the Terrific Teresa's Blog. If not, please start at the beginning with Linda's Blog This months theme is Fall or Giving Thanks. I just whipped up this card from an old faithful stamp set that I got at Stampin Up's! Regionals last year in Portland. For this card I used Soft Suede & More Mustard cardstock and DSP from our Holiday Mini called "Spice Cake" (Love this paper!!!). Inks that I used are also Soft Suede & More Mustard. The twine & button is also from Stampin Up! Next stop on the hop is magnificent Melissa's Blog.

My Birthday Cruise!!

Hello everyone!! It's been quite awhile since i've done any blogging. I have been very very busy with lots of things. Last week was my 50th Birthday!! On May 7th I had approximately 20 friends & family help me celebrate @ La Hacienda. We had a great time. It was really nice to just relax and talk with everyone.

On May 12th, my Aunt Gail & cousin Beth flew in from Albany NY to go on my birthday cruise to the Mexican Riviera with me.

I haven't seen my Aunt Gail in 8 years and I hadn't seen my cousin Beth in 29 years!! Can you believe that we allowed this to happen?!?!?! What is wrong with us???? Anyways, we've decided that we will not allow this to happen again. I had the time of my life and so thankful that they were able to attend the birthday cruise with me.

Also going on the cruise was my BFF Cheryl and she brought her friend Kathy to help me celebrate. We all had a wonderful time and hopefully we can go on another cruise soon...

From left to right is Kathy, Cheryl & me! This was the formal dinner we attended. My feet were KILLING ME!!!! lol. Here's a picture of the 5 of us as we were getting onto the ship.

Of course there was always the good looking men of Mexico there too...here's a couple pictures...

I will share more later....................
