Asher's 2nd B-Day

Good morning! It has been a while since I posted...hopefully I am back in the saddle. I got to spend time stamping last night. It was WONDERFUL! And then I saw a MOUSE!!!! EKKKK! Luckily, he expired during the night in the trap that was set just for him! I really hate mice, unless they are made of paper, of course......

Recipe: Card base-Stampin' Up!, Pattern Paper-DCWV, Chipboard-SU, Image-TMITA, Glitter-JoAnn's, Kohinoor Pencils- Gina K , Dimensionals-JoAnn's

So- on to my card. I spent time out at my sister, Terri's house over the weekend and had made a card for the Asher-man, who is turning 2 in a few weeks. I stamped colored and put a layout together, put didn't glue everything down before bringing it home. Well, then I saw the free digi that Nina at There's Magic in the Air had on Monday. Nina posts a challenge each Monday, this week was to use any of her images and to have sparkle/glitter on the card. The icing on the cake has sparkle, hope you can see it in the picture. I snatched it up and used it instead. His name is Oscar with Cake, isn't he cute! My daughter's boys love monkeys, so it is perfect. There is only on candle on this cake, but it is okay, Asher can't count! Oscar is just delivering the cake to him......oh, and Becky don't show this to him!! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today! Blessings.......

Wonderful Winter

Good Monday morning! Hope today finds everyone warm and well. Looks like we will all make it thru another holiday season. :0)

I made this card with a winter theme in mind. The sentiment is from Verve, it is a digi stamp. Card stock is from Stampin' Up!, Pattern paper is from DCWV Winter stack. I put different sized rhinestones on each of the snowflakes (hard to see in the picture, sorry). Another quick, simple card!
Wishing everyone a week filled with family fun! God Bless!

TMITA Blog Hop Recipe Contest

My card today is for the There's Magic in the Air blog hop. ( the link will take you to Nina's blog where you will find links to her store and the design team members. ) The hop started a few days ago and finishes today. It was really a fun thing to do. To end the contest we were given a digi image and a "recipe" to make a card. For me, it was quite a challenge, as I lean more toward simple cards.
The recipe is as follows:
The card must have:
1 tag
2 textures
3 Patterned Papers
4 Ribbons
5 Brads or Buttons
Well, as you can see from my card, I didn't quite make it. I decided to post it anyway, to let Nina know that I loved the image and appreciate the opportunity to use it. I am missing 2 pattern papers and 2 ribbons. I am in my RV and have a limited supply of stamping goodies with me.......oh well, I had a good time making this card!

Thanks for stopping in today! Hope your weekend is great! God Bless!

Baby Shower- Welcome Haven!

Happy to to all! This card was for my daughter's Baby Shower a few weeks ago. The little girl she was expecting arrived on Sunday, Dec. 6. She was not due to get here until Jan. 6., so we were all surprised but happy. Haven Sarina weighed 5 lbs. and 11 oz. and was 19 inches long. I am anxious for her to get out of the NICU so that I can hold her. Three of my nine grandchildren are helping me with this post, their names are Avi, Jo, and Judah.


Well, on to the card! Card stock is from Gina K and Stampin' Up! I used my SU scalloped edger punch on the white glossy cardstock, after I ran it thru my Cuttlebug using the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. The image is a digi image from Squigglefly.com. Isn't is adorable?
Check them out! I colored it with my Koh-i-noor pencils and blended with OMS. Ribbon is from Michaels.
Thanks for stopping in today! God Bless!

Squiggle Harvest

Happy Wednesday to you! While surfing my usual blog menu yesterday,
my friend Maria, at Joyful Stamper, had new images from Squigglefly. They are new digi stamps and are just plain CUTE! Since I am traveling in an RV and don't have alot of space, but still have the need to stamp....Digi stamps are perfect.
My card base is Gina K Luxury Chocolate Kiss, DSP is retired Stampin' UP! Ribbon from JoAnns, as are the leaf stickers. I colored this image with my Koh-i-nor pencils and then used OMS to blend. I am so pleased how it turned out. Check out the Squigglefly site, you will be glad you did!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day and God Bless!
