for my hubby,,, married 39 years

I have to tell you, if it where not for my calendar with all the reminders on it, I would have forgotten my own anniversary. It has been one of those summers that went way to fast and not knowing what was done. With my mother-in-law in the nursing home I have stayed close to home and did a lot of little extras and running for my f-i-l.  this is also Mojo Mondays tall and skinny card #360

                                                I had blue daisies in my bouquet

card for Colin

good morning to all,  oh boy!!! it is starting to snow again, I was hoping it would hold off til later this afternoon, because I have to take my daughter to work tonight.Praying we do not get the sleet mix they are talking about....about the card,  this morning on the news it had a story about a little boy who's mother asked him if he wanted a party for his 11th birthday. he said no because he has no friends. I found an address on youtube   I found this sketch from deconstructed sketch
and thought it would make a cute card, will make it again!!

OH MAN!!!! in just that little bit of time, it is snowing like crazy.

Love these!!!

you need to copy and paste, Andrea gives some great directions, but I would add to have great lighting to see what you are doing!

this first one is going to my girlfriend for her birthday'
these are 6x6 and will need a larger envelope.   I will be putting these into a bubble envelope because the edges are a bit more fragile and I pop dotted the  flower and tree,   also the roses are sticking up a bit

Wobble Wednesday Challenge #23

Welcome to a new Action Wobble Challenge

and today challenge is create a project, card or layout

that show Christmas... any colors just make
sure it Christmas Themed

 this is for my daughter, about 15 years ago she had to have a real Christmas tree instead of the imitation one we always have had, anyway after she was all done decorating it ( we have one picture of her and Britt under the tree, because she was a baby then), before it "Wobbled" and fell over. she put way too many ornaments on one side!
 I will have to write a note and ask her if she remembers.

 I'm not fast enough with the camera to get the wobble in action

 

bottle of bubbles

Hi all, Remember blowing bubbles when you were a kid? I still love to with the grand kids!
I found something like this over at bugbites , she had one made from something else and I thought I would put one together with my design studio, George, indie art and don juan....
I think it turned out quit well.... and I did save it because it took awhile to figure it out...hope you like..
lots of inking and pop dotted behind bottle

Elleana is turning 3

My craft spot challenge , Monday Challenge #44 - Girly Girl projects

Monday Challenge #44 - Girly Girl projects

I grew up in a family of 6 girls (no brothers - my poor Dad!).  So, in honor of all things 'girl' . . .

This weeks Challenge:  Girly Girl!

(Lots of pink, frills, flowers, bling - anything that just screams "Girl"!)

 

Hi all, I have four daughters, so no one to take over the farm on this side of the family, but there are plenty of nephews around who are interested in it, so they are working on the farm with my husband and brother-in-law.

I had started this card for my nephews other daughter who will be turning one next month, I wanted to get a start on it,

 I had the card base done and Lumpy was already on my Design  studio, I knew that it was going to be very girly, so this card was perfect for this challenge.

 this is what I had finished before I found the challenge...

I wanted a different fold for baby Clara

 I think Lumpy is a boy, but is was time for him to have a girl friend!!!

Kyle's 8th BD

Good Saturday to all,  this is the first time I  have used my Cars cartridge, and boy am I glad I did not make it any smaller with all the details on this one, I cut everything @ 5 inches...but I am sure Kyle will love it, and that is the most important part!!!

His birthday is the 23rd and I hope to get more made so he put them on his bedroom wall.
