Good Day All!  Today my card is for my grandson, Asher, whose birthday was Friday.  We are going to his house for his birthday party today.  He had a pretty rough start, being 5 weeks early and had some issues that caused him to stay in the NICU for several .  He was wired to all kinds of contraptions!  Now he is 4 years old and wired in a VERY little boy way.  He has a great imagination and we enjoy pretending with him!

Cardstock is Stampin' Up! Pattern paper is from a DCWV 12 x 12 Summer paper pack from 2009. The image is from Annabelle Stamps- Lil Monster Balloons.   He is colored with COPICs (I need to get better at my shading).  I put to small star brads on his shirt and the large star on the balloon is a button.  I apologize for the shadows in the picture, just couldn't find any good light this morning. :0(

I plan to enter this in the Annabelle Stamps Anything Goes Challenge this week.  
Thanks so much for dropping in today!  Be Blessed!!                                      

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!!!!

I Might Be Back......

Good Morning ! After some gentle prodding-okay-BIG SISTER prodding, (thanks Patti!) I've gotten back on the stamping/papercrafting wagon. it has been a VERY long time since I last posted, a flood of water is under the bridge. When I posted in June 2010, I was in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota working, now DH and I are in Moses Lake, WA working. We were both working for the University of Washington, at the end of December, I resigned my position and now I am an Executive Domestic Engineer! Lovin' this position!! All that to say, that I now should have more crafting time! WOOHOO!!

My hunk of a husband and I are planning a trip to England in April to see our youngest son and his family. They are are in the military and stationed there. We have not seen Jim for 2 years, so this momma is pretty anxious.

I've spent a bit of time stamping cards for my grandkids and doing some knitting. So I may post pictures of knit projects too. I hope you enjoy them.

~Blessings!!

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!!

One More Graduation Card

Seems like I just can't get anything posted these days!! :o) I don't know where the time goes.....anyhoo, this is a card for another niece who is graduating. She is a pretty girly, girl, so I chose to go with a pink theme. I just can't believe how quickly these girls have grown up, cuz you know.....I'm not getting any older, right!!

Recipe: Card base-GinaK Luxury White, Stampin'Up comes thru again with the DSP and the layering stock, I used an SU embossing folder and Labels 3? nestie. Ribbon is from JoAnn's Fabric, Flower-KC and Company, oh and the Scalloped edge is punched with an SU edger.
Sentiment is SU also.

Well, I guess it is off to work for me! Have a Wonder-filled day and thanks for stopping by!! God Bless!!
