February card club

About a week ago I prepared most of my monthly card club.  I'm loving our new close to my heart paper packs they make me think of spring and summer which I long for!  At least I can pretend looking at the new color combos in beautiful new patterns.  This month I wasn't sure about my graduate course load so I got our new Ivy Lane workshop on the go card making kit plus the ivy lane paper pack to in sure that I had enough paper to make 12 of the 3 designs. I'm pleased in how they came out. I hope the ladies are too. I make one more card if I have time before card club using the new dreamer stamp set.

Mini stamps from Close to my Heart

Close to my heart has started carrying these adorable little stamps last catalog.  I bought a majority of them over the few months of the catalog.  I like how they add just enough to a card.

Thanks for the Lift Card

I purchased this cute stamp set from the Close to my Heart Winter Mini Catalog a couple months ago.  I used the cloud from the set to make a sky background paper and then stamped my plane and banner on white cardstock and used my CTMH markers to color it.  I think they came out nicely.

Crate paper DIY shoppe

I've been taking advantage of my little but if down time before the semester goes nuts. I played with a 6x6 paper pack from crate paper DIY shoppe. I'm playing with patterns and ink.

January card club

Well I went to crop at a local library for my friend's birthday in early January.  I was able to plan card club for the month.  I was nice to go be creative with ours for awhile.  Here is the result 2 masculine cards using close to my heart pro player pack. The girls liked them, so that's always good.

My busy December

JaDecember was a crazy last month of 2013, but it was crazy in a good way.  I had another successful semester of grad school.

I made a great gift for my bestie. I used a frame from Michael's, word collage and Cricut everyday cartridges, and paper from hobby lobby and glitter pape from ac Moore.  A little side note about glitter paper I used the close to my heart glitter paper first and I LOVED it but only had one sheet and made a mistake so I HAD to use glitter paper from AC Moore.  I hated it the glitter made a mess and was falling off. Close to my heart's there was no mess.

She loved it. 

I had an awesome Christmas I received 2 of the art class dolls (I wanted) and Elizabat from mom and dad.  Along with the other items in this picture.  I'm blessed.  I probably could have gotten nothing and would still be thrilled.  Just seeing my nephews and my family was enough.  

All my ghouls from November to December.  I am loving them all and tucked in the back I got miss webrella! Yes the doll I stood in line for an hour and didn't get at comic con.  She was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend.  I was truly surprised he's always picking on me for my doll collection.  Of course he knows he's not going to stop me.  Lol.

My Alex and ani collection has been expanded I got my aunt bracelet (from Jamison) my apple (from my brother, his wife and Landon) the motorcycle and a wind and fire daddy's little girl from mom and dad.

Jamison was awesome! He loved everything he got and was so animated!  He even loved the pants he got and Landon is such a cutie.  I love these boys so much being their aunt is by far one of my favorite titles in the world!

My little cousin got married, so we went to his wedding the day after Christmas.

I rang in the new year with my babies.

My amazing, goofy parents and family.

My bestie (who was just resting her eyes lol). 

 My boyfriend who was loving the attention from the girls.  I think Jamison was a little jealous.  I sure was they never climb all lover me like that.

Jamison and "yaya" had a little cuddle time.  Jamison wasn't feeling well.  He and Melissa did wake up in time for the ball drop.  On to a new year! I'm excited to see what it has in store!  I'm hoping some crafting outside of card club would be awesome.  I will be crafting Friday and Saturday this weekend to celebrate Melissa's birthday.  Sorry for picture overload but I haven't posted in forever, so I figured it was okay. I'm hoping to post more often but sometimes with school it's just not possible.

Not sure what to do....

I know I said I wanted to come back and share stuff I did for card class, but of course I haven't and frankly at the moment its just not gonna happen.  I'm so stressed over the end of the semester stuff and I just need a minute to vent.  I feel like things just are getting piled on top of piles and soon they are all going to crash on my head.  On top of school my cat Noelle has gone missing.  I'll be honest and say she isn't the friendliest cat in the world and she really didn't like me, but the fact that she is missing has really gotten to me.  Noelle was a stray when I got her almost 2 years ago and she has always kinda been interested in outside a few months ago against my better judgement Noelle started going outside for an hour or two at most and she never really left the front yard. Thursday day night she went out as always and at about 11 pm I realized she hadn't come home.  I called her and looked around her usual hangouts and I could not find her.  Now its been 3 days and still no sign of her.  I think the thing that bugs me the most is that I have no sense of closure.  I don't know where she went or what happened to her and I don't like that feeling.  This is why I only like having indoor cats.  I don't have to worry about where they went or what they got into.  I know they are safe at home with me.  Now my indoor male cat has been off his rocker since she left and I don't know what to do.  He is used to having a friend.  He's never been the only cat and kinda up my butt more then usual.  I'm not sure what to do next... Do I wait and hold on to hope that Noelle will suddenly reappear, do I add a new cat to the family or do I just do nothing and deal with Raven driving me crazy... For the moment I wait and ponder on the choices I have before me and deal with school.  I'm just sad that she's not here anymore.
