Charity Collab for a Family in Need

CHARITY COLLAB:
Bouquet of Pixels designers created this charity collab for Linda's (Linda's Dream Designs) nephew and his family. Linda is a designer here in our store.
Here's a little of their story: Joey and his wife, Karri, have 5 children: Kylie (12), Emily (10), Nathan (9), Cayden (8), and Braden (6). They were among the families tragically affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma in February 2009. They had a fire in their home during these storms, and they lost everything. They were unable to afford insurance and are, therefore, left with absolutely nothing. Their fire was due to the grass fires that happened and the storm winds stoked the fire that caught their home on fire. Thankfully, nobody was home at the time it happened, and they are all safe. They are staying with family for a short time.
We will have this great collab available only until May 1st, so grab it at the low price of $4.99 now!
You can get it HERE
**ALL PROFITS FROM THIS COLLAB WILL BE DONATED TO THE FAMILY MENTIONED ABOVE**

These are two pages I made using this HUGE kit. Lots of fun stuff to play with. The 1st page is for my 6th grand baby who is due in August. As you can see, we have have our 5th grandson which makes an official basketball team. We can't forget the one cheerleader though. Love those kids!

I Give a Hoot

I love this new kit out at Bouquet of Pixels. The kit is called I give a Hoot by Inkin Creations. The colors are wonderful with lots of great papers & elements. DH is in the 1st page, we went to California this past weekend & I snapped his picture as he was standing on a wall....just like a little boy, he is still young at heart. LOL The second page is my DD, SIL and 3 of my grandsons. I made them sit together for a picture & this is the only picture out of about 12 that I got them all looking at the camera & smiling. I love this picture. Thanks for stopping by for a peek.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hi all,

Life around here has been rather busy lately, we have seven babies on the ground now. There is a possibility of 3 more but I think it is only going to be one more. The last two heifers didn't take I believe which is OK. They need to be a little older anyway. We have 4 bull calves & 3 heifers. The girls have been named but we are still waiting for the boys names....decisions, decisions.....My 2 year old granddaughter decided on Twinkle little star for the 1st heifer, the oldest names the 2ND one Rosebud and the youngest grandson named the 3rd heifer Princess Leya(not sure of the spelling on that one). I just wanted to share the new babies with you & then I can get back to cards & layouts....which I am really missing. I do get to go stamping tomorrow. Have a great day!

Number 2

Today is a good day for #2, (not the body function....sick) but for the 2nd Annual BrownTown Hoe Down. We are going to our friends for a big shindig with a live band, BBQ, Petting zoo, pony rides, fire pit, dance lessons, blue ribbon bake off, checker contest, sack races, pinatas, pin the tail on the donkey....the list goes on. They are known to throw the best parties around and we love spending the evening with good friends, family & the opportunity to meet new friends. I did a page for the Browns using KathrynEstry_CowTownCuties Kit. Love this kit! This morning we were surprised with our second calf. This is Brindles first calf and she is turning out to be a good mama...thank goodness. She does need to teach her little heifer that eating from the wrong end can get messy if done at the wrong time...LOL. Hope to have some more stuff posted in a few days. I have 3 of our 5.4 grand kids here until Sunday so I am busy having fun with them. I do have a few more cards to post....til then have a great weekend!

The fun has begun!

I was really surprised to find this little girl in the pasture this morning. I didn't expect any calves til the end of next week but I am not disappointed by any means. New babies always make me happy. The momma is CoCo. Not sure what this one will be named. Our grand kids always name the calves. We have Popsicle, Cupcake, Brindle, Veal, Daisy. Pansy, CoCo-no-nuts, Dora, Butterscotch, A red cow that never was names, 1314 & 1291(dairy#'s assigned to them) and now this little heifer. Just thought I would share. I do have some cards to share too, I just need to take pictures of them. Have a great day!

More Valentines

My neighbor Vickie, who happens to stamp with me too brought me this cute little Valentine goodie. It is self standing, filled with goodies & has a secret pocket with a sentiment inside. Very cute idea Vickie, thanks for being so thoughtful!

I made a hybrid Valentine popcorn goodie using Serene by RW Be My Valentine Kit at Bouquet of Pixels.com . This was a fun project to make. I love this kit, it has so many nice elements & papers....go check it out. FYI...as of this post it is on sale too, not sure when it will be back to regular price.


My next project is another for DH. he loves to munch on nuts so I thought it was appropriate for me to make him a present telling him I am nuts about him.(smile). I used a variety of punches, nestabilities, cricut & creative elements to get the layers...the acorns on the heart are a Quickutz die and the words & nuts on top are on a printed background that says I am nuts about you that I did in photoshop. Hope my Valentine likes it. I am sure he will make some comment about how this gift is worth hundreds of dollars(because of all the tools it took to make it) and if he does I will explain that these tools are MUCH cheaper than paying a therapist & they will provide years of therapy for me...(smile). Have a Happy Valentines Day! Thanks for stopping by.

Sweets for my Sweet

I made this little box of sweets with photoshop, the background paper & ribbon are flat but the scallop is made with a Martha Stewart scallop punch. I picked up the Vial-ette's and the self curling ribbon from just4funcrafts.com. The sweet is stamped with a SU! stamp & the ovals are punched with mega & giga scalloped punches. Thanks for looking.
