Miss You

I'm back with a quick card to share. The bird image is actually a K & Co. die cut in a package of many. I have cut it apart to use on this card. The ribbon is from Sharon Johnson's, No Time to Stamp store. The top border is Spellbinders and the green foliage is a punch.

I had my wisdom teeth out on Thursday afternoon and have been so much better. It's amazing the pain they can cause.

I probably won't be posting too much this week. We are having some major projects done in the house so I will be supervising with that since my hubby won't be available. I will be so glad to get the house back together again! My hubby redesigned our closet so that has taken about 10 days to get completed with his crazy work schedule. It is SO much nicer now and much more usable space. The cabinet guys will be in the LR this week - more messes but it will be worth it in the end! Hope your week goes well! See you soon with some exciting news!

Happy Birthday

Here is a card I made today using lots of Spellbinders dies. The DP is Basicgrey. The ribbon is from Sharon Johnson - No Time to Stamp, blog. She has awesome ribbons and my favorite place to get them! The stamped sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. I airbrushed the flower a little on the edges.

I have discovered how painful wisdom teeth can be in my old age. I have had 2 impacted top wisdom teeth for years and was told they would probably never come in. Well, guess what? One is in, and the other has been giving me so much pain these past 6 days. I'm ready to have it pulled out. I have an earache, headache, tooth ache, jaw PAIN and a sore neck. If babies have to go through this much discomfort, it's no wonder they are fussy and miserable when they are teething!!!

Have a good week!

Easter Blessings

Here is an Easter Card I made today using lots of dies. The flowers are all die cuts by Memory Box. The greenery is by Punch Bunch. the cute bunny was actually sitting on a present and I cut that out. It is a stamp by Stampavie and the sentiment is by Judith. I punched the background with a MS set.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Birthday Wishes

Here is a birthday card for my son. It's so perfect for him, even though he probably could care less. He is a finishing up pilot training in the Navy and has always been fascinated with airplanes. This reminds me so much of him when he was a few years old. The stamp is by Penny Black. The star is a MS punch. The DP is SU.

We woke up to about 4 or 5 inches of snow this morning - surprise surprise! It's been snowing all day and we have about 8 or 9 inches on the ground. I really wish the guys that plow our streets would learn how to do a cul-de-sac. Some how they think that they should plow the side that noone lives on but leave all the snow in front of the ONLY 2 driveways in the cul-de-sac. With close to a foot of snow in the streets, it makes it hard to get out when they do half the street - and nobody drives on the other side!!! I just don't get it! They are absolutely clueless.

Have a great day!

Spring is coming!

By the temps outside, you would think spring is just around the corner here. But, the ground is still white and more snow is coming. But, here is a card to make us feel like spring is coming. The window and flower box are die cuts by Poppystamps. Most of the flowers are punches or diecuts by Memory Box. The yellow gingham curtain is a punch by MS. The big frame is Spellbinders. Many of the cards I make, I leave off the front sentiment until I use the card. That gives me more options! I have plenty of small sentiments that will work on most cards so I like to wait to put those on which is why you don't see many on my cards!

Hope your day goes well! See you again!

praying for you

Wow! This doesn't look anything like the colors on my card!!! Not sure what the deal is with that! The background is a beautiful dark purple and the lighter background is a green. These are both SU DP's. I have backed both of the DP's with a bright yellow - not orange as it appears. The left stamp is a Jalynn design clear stamp. It was stamped in purple and colored with copics. The flower is popped up in the center and is a Memory Box stamp. The lace punch is by MS. The sentiment is SU. This really is a beautiful card in real life!

Hope your weekend went well. I have enjoyed the peace and quiet to concentrate on some new crafting projects that aren't really my cup of tea! But, I am determined to get through it so I will show those to you down the road. Have a great week!

Dogwood beauty

Here is a dogwood flower card that is the state flower for NC which is where I grew up. I always loved dogwood trees. They were so beautiful in the spring. This is a new Memory Box stamp that I have cut 2 times and popped up with dimensionals. The sentiment is SU.

We had about 3 inches of snow last night. I wasn't expecting it so was quite surprised when I looked out the window this morning. I brushed it off the driveway and was peeling off clothes! It was 47 when I went outside so I really didn't need a coat.

Have a great day!
