Gift Card Box

Laurie made me do it!








































I mentioned I was bored and un-inspired! She says.. make a blue and silver card using the snowflake spot set she borrowed me.
A link to the pattern is in my SCS Gallery. A link is also there for the card I CASE'd this one from!

Happy --------th B'day Raye!

I know it's not her fave colors (not even close)







She insisted that I make a Wiper Card for the SCS Challenge
















She has been bugging me about forgetting to show it to her.... Now she can have it!

Happy 18th Brandon!

My great nephew is celebrating his 18th b'day this month
































(Uff Da that made me feel really old to say)

Tag book for Tasha

I made another one!

I don't like the square cards (extra 20cents postage ya know) so I tweaked the Monday Technique into a stand A2 card.

Base is 11" x 4.25", scored at 5.5" and 2.75"
Front Panel is 4.25" x 5.5" (decorate as your heart desires)
the piece on the base is 4.25" x 2.75" but you should decide how much you want yours to stand up first.
The Brad is right on the edge of that piece.

I used Black embossing for the rose, then floor was with Pearl Ex to color.
I made this for my mother to use as a b'day card, she decided she didn't need one.

So I mailed it off to one of the RAC-SAC ladies. Hope she likes it




I also lined the inside with white paper for writing on since I used dark for the base

An Angel For A Friend

Made for Monday's Technique Challenge.. and Easel Card

Base is 11" x 4.25", scored at 5.5" and 2.75"
Front Panel is 4.25" x 5.5" (decorate as your heart desires)
the piece on the base is 4.25" x 2.75" but you should decide how much you want yours to stand up first.
The Brad is right on the edge of that piece.

I welded another card

I did this one for my DSS.

Just tilt you head

I didn't realize my pics were on their sides. SORRY!
here, just do this and you can see them

Look what I got!

Raye Lynn and my mom were at Micheal's and look what they bought me...












Just brads, that's all I have in it. I need another one... (hint hint mom!)

Louie

And he says he dislikes cats... ahhh ha!

I kinda think Louie was dumped off out here. He is very friendly, is okay with the dogs... and uses the litter box!
Yestderay he would go to the door with the dogs to go out... go potty and run back.
Today it is raining and he likes the litter box. LOL
Just hoping to dogs don't start trying to use it too!

Coffin of candy

My sister, Raye, and my mother are making these.. 40 some to be more precise.


Cute as can be, but I'd never have gotten myself into making that many! They cut them all out one by one and by hand.

Guess I've become spoiled having a Cricut! LOL

Happy Mail and a kitty!

In 2006 I had to give up my cats because Clint's dog hated him (BW was an instigator in it all) He thought he was tougher than a Rottweiler! Yeah right!!
Midnight just wanted to be wherever I was and he was fearless of both Rots, so my son Joe gave him to a friend, BW went to live with Carrie and Andy in MO.
Clint said when Baby passes away I can get a cat again.
She has been gone a month now.
Tonight I come home to a little black kitten sitting in my yard crying.
I live 3 miles from a tar road on 15 acres in the woods. Kittens don't just wander in. He's so cuddly, doesn't mind the dogs. He came in had some food and a drink and Clint made me put him back outside.
He says if he's still here in the morning you can keep him. :)

If he's here in the morning I will get his pic.

It was VSN Friday Night!

For My Niece

Oops I planned a card for an upcoming b'day only to realize its the wrong niece on my mind! LOL

For my Uncle

Wild Card Cartridge

My mom bought this cartridge and borrowed it to me before she had even played with it! Oh man, they are some really neat things on this one!

Speaking of Sunflowers

Here are my real ones James calls them Peepers!

This is the view at night when you open my front door!

A bit freaky!


This one shows how short I really am next to papa, but how short he is next to them!






















I am 5'5" he says I must be part leprechaun!

First card from my DSS Big Sister

Still do not know here name, but she has Tilda! Isn't she adorable.... well even though she can't smell them, she enjoys sunflowers!

A very cool idea on SCS

A very creatively wise lady came up with a new way to swap.
You post "I'm in!" (or whatever you want to say)
PM the person that posted above you, with your address for snail mail...then they will make a card just for you!
Then the next person to post after you, sends their address to you and you make a card for them!

Receive a card / Send a card (<----- click on the link)

It is a really neat way to increase the happy mail you get! Also a great way to get some new creative ideas!

Joker and Montana

The white one is Montana, not a clue what he is. He's very hyper, afraid; as if he'd been abused, won't play; cuddly like a cat. The lady that gave him up says he's 2 yrs old.
Joker is our Beagle, he just turned 2 yrs old this week.

I am gonna miss her!

Baby had to be put down on August 23rd.

This was probably the hardest thing Clint has ever done.



No idea what it was about one ear up, but I always knew if she was in a good mood. Even when she'd "protect" me, she'd have an ear while biting Clint! LOL
She was his dog for many years before I came around, and she decided I belonged to her. My Beagle (Joker) also belonged to her.
We were so worried about how she would act with him, but to her .. he was HER PUPPY.
He even thinks he's as big and tough as she was. He did get pretty strong from playing with her. S'pecially tug o war over his blanket.

In My Garden Tonight

A gardener Snake (who wouldn't sit still for his pic and I let him go too soon) and a tiny Copper Belly Snake, (he was less than 12" long) A little Salamander, Several Toads, (Colleen is holding 1) A bee that stayed still for a second.
That was probably the coolest pic I have ever taken.
