Off to Branson, MO

Leaving early tomorrow morning for Branson, MO. First time there, so don't know if these pictures do it justice or are just a lot of hype - we'll find out though!

We are scheduled to see the Jim Stafford Christmas show (1st pic) and the Belle Boat tour might just be on the agena as well. Shopping? You KNOW that's on the agenda!

Until I get my own pictures - this is what Branson is supposed to look like!

Kitty Cat Friday Halloween Style!

I couldn't get a good photo of this card, and the scan isn't much better - but trust me, this is a cute card! I couldn't find my scary Amuse cat, so had to settle for this one in black. What else can you have on Halloween/Kitty Cat Friday, but a black cat!

Flutterby card

This is my latest flutterby creation for Danni's flutterby Wednesday!

Tuesday Template Challenge

Ami's Tuesday template challenge was fun to do - and here's my card! I took some artistic license with it, but hey, that's allowed right?

One more Halloween card!

Here's one more card I can post! All stamps by A Muse!

Halloween Cards

I got a few Halloween cards made today - there are some more, but I can't post them until they are received! :) These stamps are all by A Muse

Maui

We had our annual Sales Conference on the Island of Maui about 10 days ago. As one of the co-planners of the conference, it was a very busy time for me - almost on call 24 hours a day - luckily most everything came off without a hitch - only 1 person showed up at the wrong hotel and couldn't believe I hadn't reserved a room for him. Got it straightened out, and there were no other real fiascos! One person did miss the bus for our dinner cruise, but was able to grab a cab and meet us as the boat on time. By the time it was over, I was ready to come home, but we did manage a few minutes to actually enjoy Maui!

The 1st picture is looking out the hotel room window!

The 2nd picture is the one sunset I did get to see.

Fall leaves Kitty Cat Friday

Kitty Cat Friday is alive and well! I was hoping that by creating a fall themed card, the temperatures around here would be respectful and start acting like fall temps! But no, not going to happen for about another 5-6 days! I'm so done with summer, I am ready for winter!

Enjoy!

Happy Kitty

See the Kitty

See the Happy Kitty

See the Kitty dancing -

Oh, it must be Kitty Kat Friday!

Nephew's Birthday Card

Guy cards are ust not easy to do - My nephew is a real outdoors guy, he's a big hunter, so I sawthis deer and decided I could go with it. I'm not real happy with the deer's nose, but it is what it is!

Mermaid birthday card

My great niece (boy does that make me feel old) will be 2 at the end of this week. She's decided she loves mermaids now, so I dug this out of my Amuse stash, found the seashell, masked off the mermaid, added some sea grass and voila, Mermaid card! I used a Martha Stewart edge punch and it kind of looks like air bubbles!

Just a card

This is a total "CASE" of a card Ami sent me this week! I just thought the layout was great and couldn't wait to try it, but it had to wait until this weekend.

Prego lady is from A Muse stamps, colored with Copics. Solid paper is all Bazil Card stock

Sweet Kitty

I just loved this image when a friend used it on a card, and I was so happy when she sent me a few of them. I think this is just the sweetest kitty around. Barely colored with Copics and the paper is from Just the Basics Cotton Candy Collection

Enjoy!
