It has been awhile

 Oh my goodness, I have been so busy since my daughter has moved back in with her daughter that I did not even know there were pictures still in my camera that I have not posted, but then I have not had much time to make cards either. So it has been a roller coaster of emotions for me around here.

                                  for 2 people from church that were in a car accident

                                         2 little grand nieces that are close in age

                                               wish I could remember

                                                   Jeff's birthday

                                         Adam Jr.'s baptism

                                                  Larrie's birthday card

all 49 from Teddy Bear Parade

plus one because I made 50 bears....all at 3 1/2 inches....It was so hot and humid last week that I didn't want to do any cooking, cleaning or just about anything so I cut out all 50 bears, then their outfit and put them together. all in my air conditioned craft room. I did get out to do my chores, even the cows did not like the heat.

bridal shower, wedding and cake top

hello again, I decided to match the everything this time,

the flowers are called Gerber daisy's  these flowers are a lot bigger than what I thought they would be and yet it still took 7 of they in this small pot, It will go on top of a sheet cake for the shower.

Jacob is turnning 3

this one will be the last one today...Jacob LOVES trains  it turned out to be an extra large card  9 1/2 x 6
and cost about $3.00 to send out, but little guy is worth it...I did not like the plane wheels on the train so I used the wheels from the baby carriage in simply charmed and sized them with my design studio

few more to catch on..

this set of   bears went on top of a cake for my sister grandchildren (twins) they turned 4, and oops, I forgot to make them their cards, so this ended up being the cards this year.

Jacob is turning 1

good morning to all,  Wow, where did the time go!  I was going to put this cute little bear on a wobble but decide for a 1 year old it would be apart in no time.

 I originally made the fence, rope and skull for the front of the card, but it was too much so I decorated the inside also.

Hi all, I thought I would should you the last few I made in 2013 before I showed the start of  2014

good morning to all,     This was a fun card to make!!!!  I love the bears with their cute outfits, they piece together so nicely! I thought about a wobble after I had stuck her on...maybe next time!
I really like the way the water turned out, it is the paper inked,    looks like waves!

Herb's 59th BD

Hi all, I have the house to myself today, the guys are in the field, Britt is with her boyfriend and I made this card today in between my chorses.
I am hoping  there is some green in the fields in a couple of weeks when it is my hubby's bd.
I changed the hat to a baseball type cap because that is the kind he wears all the time, I put a little pioneer seed logo on the cap, the tractor is from beep beep. I add a smile to the bear because Herb always has a silly grin on his face...

 and in a few months they will be back on the field to pick the corn for the silos

Sketchy Friday #11

Hello again,  looks like the sun is going to shine for a little while now,,,
I thought I had missed the deadline for this card, but looks like I have a few hours left.
