Cannon Ball

I normally volunteer at the Cancer Treatment Center of America on Thursday's but my throat has been sore all day so I figured it was best to stay home & not spread any bug so instead I played all day. I have made a digi page for all of my grandkids lately except this little guy. Today was his day. I used a kit called Tiki Kit by Kay Miller. I love her style so it was fun to make this page.
Thanks for looking.........

Fun week

This week DH was out of town...although I missed him, I loved the fact I was able to play more than usual. The girls and I got together on Wednesday and played too. Below are some cards we made. This 1st card was a BRAK from Sam, I did her a little favor & she made me this darling card as a thank you. Sam's Wednesday shoebox card


Carolyn's


Laura's


Mine




The rest are cards I made while the cat was away. I used a Papercraft magazine template for the shoe, the top of the shoe was placed on the fold so it opens up. I made the sentiment on the computer.

Santa made with punches, I ran white cardstock thru a xyron & them put dazzling diamonds on it before I punched out all the snowflakes.



Card base on glossy paper, stamp is obsession impressions, snowflakes are punched (MS, SU) diamond centers I grabbed at just4funcrafts.com.

Dustin Pike Santa image, Reindeer is Cornish Heritage stamp by Kim Hughes, scalloped rectangle is celebrations #5 cricut cartridge, tree is old die cut I had laying around.


I picked up a template at Gotta Pixel, the designer is Rose.li and I made it into a hybrid layered cow. Word art I made on the computer.
Thanks for stopping by....have fun this week!

Wednesday cards & a few others

I made this card using punches, the background is SU! elegant bouquet impression folder.

I love this little dog image, it is a font by Laurie's Country. I used flower soft that i picked up at just4funcrafts.com (she doesn't have it on line but if you email her she can tell you if she still has it. matter of fact i have found she doesn't have tons of stuff on line but every time I email her she either has it or can get it pretty fast & reasonable. PS...if you use the code save5 you get an extra 5% off).
Same font, different backgrounds. The circle says "Have a dog gone great day"

Laura came up with this idea. I didn't follow instructions and mine didn't turn out as cute as hers....but I am going to make another the way she did. her circle was in the middle & she used the cuttlebug folder that is a spiderweb. Thanks Laura.




Marie brought the supplies for us to case this card. I love the colors and layout. Thanks Marie



Sam came up with this adorable card using a circle of double sided paper & Dustin Pike's Santa. I used stickles on the fur & beard...love that darn sparkle. That's all for now. thanks for stopping by!





Wedding card


We have some friends who tied the knot on August 1st in Vegas & for those of us who couldn't make it, there is a reception tonight. I made this simple card for them and thought I would share it with you. I do have other cards to post...just haven't taken the time to take pictures of them. My camera is having problems. It quit taking pictures & my friend Jenn did some surgery on it so at least now it takes pictures but it still isn't right. I just may have to invest in a new camera, I just hate spending the money right now. Enough whining! I need to go finish the laundry. FUN-FUN-FUN! have a great weekend.
Cuttlebug dotted swiss folder, SU elegant bouguet folder, sentiment on front PaperTreyInk, sentiment on inside SU!

Weekend fun

I had some time to play this weekend so I drug out images that I have that have been sitting around with no ink on them. I have had some so long I don't remember who the stamps are by,I should have written it down at the time I stamped them but I didn't. I love the images though.
This monster is a Dustin Pike image. This was fun to color.













This is a font that thought was too cute not to color. Hope you had a great weekend too. Off to irrigate for the next 20 hours. I am going to try to play a little more in between switching borders & fighting gophers. LOL

Wednesday cards

Yesterday was lots of fun! We haven't stamped in about 2 months so it was really nice to get together for some girl time. This 1st card was what Vickie came up with...sort of. I didn't pay very close attention & cut my image out wrong so I had to improvise. Vickie just got this new SU! stamp set called Good Cheer. We all loved it.
Laura's card was awesome too. I am not sure who's stamp it is but I love the delicate flower and Laura's color combo is wonderful.

What can you say....Sam found this adorable template in a Cards Book and cut the template out so we could case her card. Love the 3 dimension on this card.


This is my card, we used a Dustin Pike image, hard to see but he has stickles on him and another type of stickles for the snow. his scarf, nose and the birdhouse are popped out. Prisma markers were used to color him. That's all the cards we had time for and the company was great. Thanks to all for your wonderful shoebox ideas!

One More

I love this picture that my daughter took. Brandy has an knack for capturing the cutest poses in her pictures. You can see more on her blog here. Last one for today...again have a great day!

New Grandson










I did my & pages....even if I did cheat & use quick pages from the Shabby Princess ultimate baby album Prince (www.theshabbyshoppe.com). I decided not to journal too much because there is a journal page that coordinates with the album that I will fill in. I did change the saturation level to make the pages more vibrant. I was so blessed to be a part of his birth, Mommy, Daddy and baby were wonderful in their combined effort during this miraculous experience. Love you all!
Off to stamp today....if I remember how. LOL Have a great week!

Exciting Week

I made this page before we flew out to San Antonio but just didn't have time to get it posted. I started this over a year ago when I was taking a class with JessicaSprague.com . It was a bonus class to show you how to have your type fit into half a circle. Most of the page was completed but it was put on the back burner & forgotten about. I found it and decided to finish it.
Frog is from Joanne Cinnamon Mydigitaladdiction.com , Snail is by Irene Alexeeva at irenealexeeva.blogspot.com word art is by mterasawa at designerdigitals.com called buggiboo, butterfly is by kyh at crafty accents, overlay by kimikreations.

I am trying to get some pages done of my newest little grandson Jackson to show him off to the world. Hopefully tomorrow. Sweet dreams!
