Today my little girl sang in the largest venue I think she's ever sang in before. She sang the National Anthem at the University of Arizona McKale Center. GREAT JOB!

January Club
We had a great get together at Sara's on Saturday. I have really missed everyone as we took a month off in December. We made some great birthday cards and Valentines too.
The first one was our technique card. I taught them the Marbled Background technique. It was so fun to see everyone rocking and rolling their marbles. At least no one LOST them! I think many of these will be circulating around for Valentines Day!

This card started with a Basic Black card base and then I used Riding Hood Red for the ink. The stamp in from the Occaisions Mini Catalog. It is Be My Valentine. The ladies wet embossed it and stamped a second image in Riding Hood Red to layer the banner on top. The ribbon is my new fav - 3/8" taffeta! It is gorgeous and even though it isn't an exact match to the paper, it is the right hue and very easy to work with.
The second card was a birthday card using another Occaisions Mini Catalog set - Create a Cupcake. It also used the coordinating punch Build a Cupcake. I LOVE it when Stampin' Up! has a matching stamp set and punch! It makes me happy -
The colors are Blushing Bride and Early Espresso; definately a great combo. The sentiment comes from another Occaisions Mini set called Bring on the Cake. Definately a MUST have for Birthday sentiments, it comes with 13 great sayings to add to both inside and outside of birthday cards and gift cards too.
I will share the other 2 cards tomorrow.. but you will LOVE them!

What fun that is to type! I am excited for a new year - as I looked back on 2010, life was so full of changes! I will recap a bit then share a project with you. First off, Nathan got his mission call to serve an LDS service mission to Mozambique! He left in May - this photo was created in My Digital Studio. I made it for him for his birthday to remember the fun day he had when he got the letter with his mission call in it. I later added this to the calendar we sent him for Christmas.
The next big event was James getting married. He fell in love with a sweet girl from college, Dawnmarie, and they married in the summer. This is another page from the calendar made in My Digital Studio -
I was laid off, then got my job back during the summer and that provided a lot of stress for a couple of months. All ended well.
Our holidays were so much different than in the past with 2 children missing. I have to admit I was quite sad - life is definately changing; I am going to have to figure out how to change with it!
It has been a great year full of change, challenge and creativity. thank you for joining me on this great journey!
Now here is the project I promised. It is a gift I gave to Mike's sister and her family for Christmas. I used the Decor blocks from Stampin' Up! to create a 6 sided decor peice for them.
Life really is fully of adventure!
Life is....... JOY
Life is.... FAMILY
Life is...... GOD
Life is......... LOVE
Life is......... LIFE!
