Baby Boy Card

HAPPY TUESDAY! My card today is for the former manager of the RV park here. She and her husband are expecting a baby boy any day now.  It has been so HOT, she is so anxious!!  I anxious for her too.  Love to hold babies, I'm hoping I will get the opportunity to hold the little guy before they move.

Cardstock is from Stampin' UP!  Whisper White and Not Quite Navy (I think).  The image is one I picked up at Big Lots a long time ago.  DSP is from a Debbie Mumm pack a few years ago. Ribbon is SU also.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Friday in blogland!  Life has been mighty busy and full these last few weeks.  I finally got a bit of time to play with paper.  My photo was taken outside in the late afternoon, I seem to be in between thunderstorms this week. 

Pretty simple, straight-forward card.  I embossed glossy paper with several different folders, then punched them with a square punch, then rounded the  corners.  The lavender heart was cut free-hand and embossed also.  It is difficult to see the "cherish" that is stamped on glossy and cut with a nestie.  Ribbon is Stampin'Up!, as well as the cardstock I used.  Rhinestones are from Craft Warehouse $1 bin.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Blessings!

Happy Birthday, Jay-meister man!

Happy Tuesday!  My card today is for another grandson, Jay.  He is six years old today.  He is a pretty active guy, so I thought a skateboarding dude would work for him.  This card will go with his present on Sunday when we go to his party. (Becky, no fair showing him the card before the party....)....(jk-I know you won't!)

Card base is from Stampin' Up!, as is the blue embossed layer.  The image is also from SU, from several years ago.  Patterned paper is from DCWV.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be blessed!

May Flowers-Crafter's of Faith

Happy last day of May!  My card today is for the Crafter's of Faith group I belong to.  The awesome Patti was our hostess this month and she asked that we create a card with a "May Basket" theme.

  My May basket is a hanging basket.  The "basket" is embossed with an SU folder and then cut with large scalloped square nestie.  The flowers were cut from some paper that I have been carting around for a VERY long time.  Background paper is from Stampin' Up! also.  The basket is hanging with a cord I crocheted and is held in place with a small brad from JoAnn's. 


Be sure to check out the other girls' creations.  We are a talented and blessed group of ladies!  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  Big BLESSINGS!!

For the David-man

Happy Tuesday, all!  My card today is for a grandson who will turn 5 years old on Friday. He is an absolute cutie, with big brown eyes and a mischievous grin!  I just love him to pieces!  But then I feel the same way about my other 9 grandkids! 

Cardstock is from Stampin' Up!, DSP is DCWV.  Image is a digi from Bugaboo.  I just love their stamps, so whimsical!
Hope you enjoy your day!  Thanks for stopping in.  Blessings!

COF Mini May Challenge

Happy Friday everyone!  The sun is shining and the weekend looks lovely!  I took some time to stamp this morning and I am pleased with the result.  This card is for the mini challenge with the Crafter's of Faith group that I belong to.  This is a close knit group of believing girls who share their craft and pray for one another.  We are spread out all over the country and in Canada. It is a blessing to know there are gals who I can share with and KNOW they are praying when there is a need!

This week our awesome leader, Kelly asked us to create a card using green/yellow'purple and have something floral.  I found this image in my file of already stamped images.  I enjoyed coloring it, using koh-i-noor pencils and blending with mineral spirits.  I have much better results when I use this medium, rather than Copic markers, don't know why I stress myself......;o). Card base and DSP are from Stampin' Up!  Flowers brads are from JoAnn's (LOVE that place!!) I used nesties to cut the oval and scallop oval, then used my Scor Pal along the bottom.  Don't know if the picture lets you see this, the grass is hiding it a bit. 

Be sure to check out the creations of the others ladies, you will find the links to their sites on my sidebar.  You will be blessed by their work and by the sweet spirit of each of them. 

Have a blessed day and hug your Momma this weekend!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  My card today is for Mother's Day for my husband's Mom.  She is  a sweet Christian lady who has treated my like her own for a lot of years.  Please excuse the shadow on the picture, I was trying to beat the sprinklers here at the rv park.

My card base is Stampin' Up! Whisper White, it is layered with black stock that I ran through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder.  The image is SU also and is colored with Koh-i-noor pencils . Scalloped Oval and small oval are cut with Nestibilities.  Ribbon and bling are from Michaels.
Thank you for stopping by and.....

Have a happy day!  Hug someone you love!! 

Happy Monday!  Today my cards are is for a Bridal Shower for a niece that is occurring on Saturday.  I am not able to attend as I will be attending a Baby Shower for another niece. That is the other card you see.  These showers are on the SAME day, at the SAME hour, in DIFFERENT towns.  Each town is about 3 hours, in DIFFERENT directions  from where I live.  I knew of the Baby shower in January and just got the invite for the Bridal shower 2 weeks ago,  sooooo the plans to attend the Baby shower had already been made.  I WILL be attending the wedding in May, though, so I guess everything works out.

This is an all Stampin' Up! card, except for the colored rhinestones that are in the center of each flower.

I love how the baby shower card turned out.  Audrey and Scott are decorating the nursery in a Noah's Ark theme and I just happened to have Debbie Mumm's Noah's Ark paper stack.  How cool is that?!  I cut the animals out and mounted them on scalloped squares cut with my Cuttlebug and Nesties.  Just love 'em!!  The background paper has a bit of a sparkle on the darker lines.  The small buttons came from WalMart.

Hope you enjoyed my offerings today.  I had a blast making them!  Thanks for stopping by and BE BLESSED!!

Crafters of Faith Challenge

Good March morning!  Today I am posting the card I made for our Crafter's of Faith Challenge.  Jackie was our hostess for this challenge and we were to create a card with non traditional February colors, have a love theme,  use nature and have a circle on the the card. WEEEELLLLLL- this is what I came up with.......my circle turned into an oval and the love part of the card is the image.  This image is from SU and it is my ALL TIME FAV, I LOVE IT  stamp!!

Recipe-Cardstock,scallop punch, ribbon and image-Stampin' Up!, colored with koh-i-noor pencils, oval nestie to cut image, pearls from Michaels. 

This card is for a special sister in law for her birthday in a few weeks. She is a simply elegant kind of gal, so I know she will like the simple lines and the pearls on this card.
Thanks for the great challenge, Jackie!  Be sure to check the other gals creations out also, you will find a link to their sites on the sidebar.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Love Day to All-
I have been MIA the last week, so busy with so many things.  I made Valentine Cards for all my grandkids and got them sent off.  We are blessed with 10 grands so far.  The cards I made were postcard size and pretty plain.  I need to be simple with that many to make. Didn't get pictures taken of them.  The fun part for the kids is that they get MAIL with their name on it!!  Remember how much fun that was when you were a kid?
Today I am sharing the cards I made for our "Sister Swap".

I used the same image for both and the same paper, using the "frame" and the "oval".  I wish I could get some good light for my pictures.......oh well, SPRING is coming!
Have a wonderful day and share it with someone you love.!

                                                                   ~BLESSINGS~

MOJO 224

Good Snowy Morning All!
My card today is for the MOJO Monday Challenge 224.  These have always been such fun challenges.  I haven't entered often, but I do enjoy looking at everyone's creations.  The VERVE girls are a pretty awesome bunch.

The colors look better in real life-I promise.  It has been so hard to get good light with the weather we are having.  I'll continue to work on that.  Most everything here is from my unorganized stash, Stampin' Up! always plays a big part in my creations, as well as Nestibilities.  The pattern paper is from a stack my sister Terri gave to me, from Kioshi Paper Company.  Fun patterns!
Thank you for stopping by today!  Stay warm and dry.

Crazy 4 Challenge C4C119

Oh Happy Day!  It's a beautiful, crisp day here in central Washington.  Perfect day to stay inside, 'cuz it's COLD, baby!  7 degrees! DH is home today because of the MLK holiday.  He has some carpentry plans today.  Onward, stamping soldiers to my card.........

I made this card with the Crazy 4 Monochromatic Blue   C4C119 challenge in mind.  I have had the patterned paper for quite some time, it is so pretty, it was hard for me to use. I just don't want to part with it I guess.   Cardstock comes from Stampin' Up! and Bazzil. Nestibilities were used to cut the shapes and a bit of vellum and butterfly punch from Martha Stewart adorns the oval blue that was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. Sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by today!  God Bless!

Gettin' My Feet Wet Again!

So I spent a goodly portion of yesterday getting to know my paper stash again. There's some good old friends in there! What you might not know about me is that my hubby and I are full time RVers. We live in a 37 foot fifth wheel, so my crafting space is minimal, but I am THANKFUL for it. Since we started this RV journey 2 1/2 years ago, we have upgraded from a 29' 5th wheel with no slides to this one. It has 3 slides!! I am blessed! I even have a washer/dryer. Life is good!! " So on to my card," (she said with fear and trembling, since she hasn't posted for such a long time!!)

What I can tell you is that the cardstock and DP that I used is from Stampin' Up! I spy nestibilities in there also and the use of some ancient flower punches. The sentiment is from Verve a few years ago. I haven't purchased many stamping goodies in the last year, I'll try to remedy that soon! : 0).......

I hope you enjoy my offerings today, I did get my feet wet......and they are COLD! Its only 18 degrees here. BRRRR!

Thanks for stopping by and BE BLESSED!!!!

Oh, Happy Day!!! I have been so anxious to post this card. I made it while at my sis, Patti's house about 6 weeks ago. It is for my wonderful son in law, whose birthday is on Saturday.
I know he will get a kick out of this. He DOES NOT dress like this, or have glasses, or wear his hair that way! This image is SO unlike him, but that is what makes it so much fun!! The sentiment does sound like his sense of humor though!

Recipe: Cardstock-Stampin' Up! Oval Nestie-Spellbinders, DSP-SU, Image-I just can't remember, it is from my sis-sorry!

Well, thanks for stopping by! God Bless!!

Today my card is for a niece who is expecting her first baby. She is having a girl, so I got to do PINK!!

This is an all Stampin' Up ! card except for the darling image which comes from Gina K Designs. The sentiment was cut with scallop rectangle nestie and then sponged with pink (hard to see in the picture-sorry) Ribbon is from Offray.
