Mother's Day 2011

Raye sure is brave to hold the nails while he pounds them in!

Suzy's Monthlly Challenge May #2

 

Aside from the card base and the green mat it all came from Suzy!

I colored it using Koh-i-nor Pencils and Baby Oil Gel

I used  Bow Easy for the bow.. WOW I love that thing!

I sent this card off to my Little DSS

I have one more made using the goodies from SUzy, but I haven't gotten around to taking a picture of it!

Suzy's Monthlly Challenge

Suzy sent some very pretty flower images and embellishments to use this month!
You can't tell by the picture, but the inside has a layer of the lighter green and a matching Pink flower.
She sent out enough stuff that I've I've made 2 more.. just haven't taken pics.
Thank you Suzy for the great images and embellishments!

This is a 6x6 card.. I know extra postage.. YUCK! LOL
But I couldn't make up my mind which flower to use... so I used all 4 of this set!

Some projects

My BIL Passed away in April and my sister Teresa asked for a few Thank you cards

 I used MDS to create these, I touched them up with buttons, Dew Drops, Top Note Die and some Smooch.. which I smeared tossing them into the box.. darn it!





This set of 6 is for a SCS Sketch.. but since my computer and theirs don't seem to be speaking ( a techy issue) I can not even remember the sketch number.
I get a weekly coupon from Archiver's for buy 3 and get 3 cardstocks.. so I got 3 colors for these cards.
All those layers make it a bit heavy, extra postage YAY
But I did get one more stamp used... getting closer to my Reesolution goal!
 One stamp set at a time! 







This cute little bunny is Raye's stamp. I had to stamp one for me to color. I didn't make 1 single Easter Card this year... not a one!
I did however, stamp this, color it and take a pic with my cell and share it with everone on Easter Morning!









This adorable bear and Locket necklace came from my daughter and Son in MO. They got a birthstone for all 3 kids and me for inside.. and he is so soft! He's an early Mother's Day gift..... I don't' think she meant for it to get here so quick!













I received this huge package of goodies from Australia! My Big Secret Sister is such a spoiler!  2 Chocolate Bears, Ribbons, Card Stocks, Buttons and a very pretty card! Thanks Sis! Happy Easter to you too!














This card I made for my Little DSS.. I created it using Elizabeth in MDS, the layout is a CASE from SCS
I colored it using Spica Pens and Smooshes

There are 237 days till Christmas!

Well there is some kind of issues between my IP Address and SCS
Hopefully it gets fixed soon, so I can load up my gallery, and gaze the galleries!
I am going through withdrawals!!

I think I am up to October....

As for April... the winner of my monthly Christmas Card Challenge is

klpt58

I am hoping that a friend has posted to SCS for me.

I feel like a grounded teenager not being able to visit over there! LOL

Darn computers!

I will post a few more pics tomorrow. Clint goes to the doc for some HEART related talks.

Love you all! Good night!

My friend calls it Creative Chaos!

I told a friend that I have a card started on 3 different tables in here. 

Holly calls it Creative Chaos.. I'll go with that! 

I finished them all up though.. that surprised me!!

Details are in my SCS Gallery.. link on the right!

Thanks for visiting!

What I've gotten done this past week

Since these took me an hour to upload and it is now past 11 pm.. I'm gonna post it and add details tomorrow!
Thanks for looking!
Details are in my SCS gallery!

Where am I s'posed to sit?

Wilbur looks so comfy sleeping in the rocker while I make cards.

But then I get up to go use the Big Shot... and Louie takes my chair! He's all stretched out leaving NO room for me to even share the chair.

Christmas Cards for July

This is a OSW I had started for last years challenge.
Once I cut the paper I hated it!

I was given some Jolee's by my DSS and they happened to be sitting close to each other and thought...humm

So I put this set together and it doesn't impress me, but it's alright! LOL

This explains so much!

I found this on another blog and have to pass it around!!

February VSN

 I wasn't going to do this challenge, then I came across this paper in a pad (Immortal) and figured why not!

The challenge was to use Sheet Music on a card. i didn't even know I had any.

Thank you Taylor (stagccva) for the challenge!

 Denise, Resqbarbie, challenged everyone to get their heart pumping with a great sketch!

The background is a cuttle bugged piece I got from someone else (no idea what the folders name is)
I used all left over card stock from my last weeks project!

The Stamp Set is God's beauty, ink is SU Grey and the centers of the flowers I touched with a brown Spica Glitter Pen

Thank you Denise for the challenge! I like this sketch, I may use it again!

 WOW! This horrible little card! LOL
I had her cut out this morning and just tossed it aside, I couldn't find the inspiration for this one at all!

Michelle/Eliotstamps challenge is to make a card featuring a red dress in honor of heart health for women.
The dress part was easy....

Nestie Label #8 in Black CB with tiny hearts, the white is CB with large hearts
Cricut Cartridge I got from Holly ~ Independence Day for the lady. I colored her hair with SU Pastels

 Lori - (LMcAree) challenges everyone to take inspiration from a photo of a valentine theme basket.
The heart shaped box with a rose on it jumped out at me!

Thanks Lori!!

I used Cricut George Cartridge for the Heart shaped Card Base
SU Stipple Rose and Pastels, I punched Double rectangle and and ran SU Wine Ribbon through

Julz (jafields76) challenged everyone to make a man card using the soot technique.
The tutorial does warn ya about catching the card stock on fire! LOL
I started out with a 5.25" x 4" piece! LOL

I stamped the same car image inside the card.

Thanks Julz, great challenge. Messy technique, but cool results!

Mikey's card

Simon Says Blog
Fun Shadow Box Card

I made this for my Creep (nephew Mike) B'day this week

His invitations had puppies on the m so I thought I'd make his card go with it!

Z Fold

Inspired by Mae Collins


The card stock and paper are from Archiver's
The dp is Graphic 45 Quilting Bee

I tried the technique "Black Magic"
The stamp used is from SU SAB Punch Bunch and SU Scallop Punch

Look what I've done now...

 I went from having 15 shelves, taking up a 7' + wall of clutter!

Now I have 5 shelves and more space!
Where that wooden shutter is on the right will be more of those drawer units next weekend.
The baske ton top of that speaker in the far right is my SU Scraps. I really do try to use them more often!

I've been cleaning

 This is my table for stamping on.. and for oh I'd say the last month.. un-seeable! I have been working on Christmas cards for my challenge and any thing I have the is Christmas related has been laying there!
 Well last night iwas trying to pick things up because Wilbur cleared half the table.
So I decided to put things away a bit!
 Not sure how long you'll be able to see any of it! LOL

 This table Clint picked up at Pamida on clearance.. works great for taking pics of scrap pages!
My plan was to have it in the living room, then I thought about in the bedroom so I could color in bed.. now here it sits in my room! LOL
Maybe I need 2 more... hint hint!

Now you see where all the Christmas things went! LOL I tied a basket to the side of my new Breakfast Bar, It has a towel holder on each end. I am going to pick up some S hooks so I can have removeable baskets hagning there.
I may even put a piece of peg board on one end.
there are 2 tiny drawers in the front.. no clue what I will use those for yet.
I am normally a standing scrapper so this is perfect!
