Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

Here is the other card for our Uncle Mike...I made this a while ago, but I thought it was perfect for the occassion...him and our aunt our going to disney on friday and both of their birthdays are this week...so make sure you check out the one I posted earlier for our aunt.....


I used some stickers from stash, ribbon and a rubon ....

I also used pooh and friends cart and added party hat to pooh...I forget where that one is from...hope you enjoy!

Dreams come true!

Well I have 2 birthdays coming up that I had to make a card for...My husbands aunt and uncle are leaving for disney on Friday, and I have been in the mood for disney so I thought I would make these simple cards...This one is for his Aunt Bonnie..I used ds to weld the castle to the card...like I said very simple.

I used DCT cart for the castle and frame....I added some ivy, and flowers, and some gems..they are suppose to look like mickey! Then I did a faux stitch around the side.

Inside :

says May all your wishes and dreams come true! Happy Birthday!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Thanks for stopping by and God bless you!

RIP - Brother Ryan (Bo)

I just wanted to send this to my bro in heaven....I miss you with all my heart. It is 3 years today that you have been gone, it has been too long. Does it ever get easier or will my heart never mend ? Until I see you again! The family misses you so much..we will always miss you but we know that you are in a better place looking down on us....Love you bro!

Trick or Treat (I think treat)!

Hello ladies. I have been on a roll lately even though my dd (LILY) is not even in school yet. So I thought I would do a Halloween card...I usually don't do Halloween but since my brother passed almost 3 years ago I have been thinking about him (his birthday is on Halloween) so this is always a special day in my heart now. Always cherish what you have because you never know when it will be gone...sorry for rambling on. Anyway I decided to do this card ...I love how this came out.


Sorry no cricut:

I used nestabilities for the frame in the middle and cuttlebugged with swiss dots. The bird and pumpkin in the middle is a stamp that I colored with my colored pencils and used mineral spirits to blend it.

I used houndstooth cb folder for the background.

Added a rubon to a piece of white cardstock...love those birds.

I used a ms drippy goo punch and inked in red. (blood)

More rubons up the side of card.


Inside of card:

cb houndstooth again for background

nestabilities for the middle and I wrote Happy Halloween and faux stitched around it because it was to plain

I added some stickers for the trick or treat....added ms drippy goo punch and inked in red for blood....hope you enjoy.


Thank you for taking time to stop by...God bless all!

New school tags / Frosted Designs challenge!

Updated:

I saw that frosted designs is doing back to school so I entered these for the challenge..go to their blog and check them out...they always have some cool challenges...http://www.frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/ or click on my title and it will link you right there.

Hello ladies. I have been managing to get some time to myself and get things done. Since school will be starting for my dd in another week. I had to get her new tag done for her bookbag. I made her one last year for preschool but it fell apart and she wanted a new one, so while I was making hers (Lillian) I made 2 more , one for my niece (Morgan) who is 3 . she will be starting preschool this year, and the other is for my nephew Owen he will be starting kindergarten also.


The one with the kitty is Lillian's (my dd's), the doggie is for Morgan (which the theme of her class is doggies). Then you should know the rocket is for my nephew Owen. he has a star wars backpack with reds, blacks, white and lime greens, so this is what I thought would go with his.

I used my ds to weld their names and for all the cuts. I used flower cb folder and swiss dots. I punched little butterflies out (for lily's and morgan's tags)and doodled some lines to look like the butterflies were flying...Owen's I pieced together in different colors.


Then I ran them through my xyron with laminating supplies.


The last pic on here is of my dd's backpack. Lillian picked the colors she wanted and when we put it on her bookbag it all went together..cool...


Thanks for stopping by and God bless all! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

A apple for the teacher!

Hello ladies. I got to thinking that school will be coming soon...My dd starts kindergarten on Sept 1st...I am alittle excited but alittle nervous. I thought if I am nervous she might be too. So I made a little card for her to give to her new teacher. I also was inspired by Barb at crafty girl...go check her out @ http://barbcraft.blogspot.com/....she made a card for a teacher and hers turned out cute, so I thought I need to make one..thanks Barb!

I used Doodlecharms for the apple cut @ 3" (outside) and then I added a piece of pattern cardstock (with apple on it) dcwv grade school pack. I added ribbon and a pearl... I also cb with the swissdot folder.



Inside:

Apples cut @ 1 1/2" with DC cart(again) ...added small pearls. swissdot cb folder and then I did a computer generated saying...


When god created teachers,
He gave us special friends!

Just a little note to say I'm glad to finally meet you!


Then I will have my dd sign it (she does her name really good). Thanks for stopping by and God bless you!

I have to tell why I started blogging and why I keep blogging...


1.) Well I started crafting about 5 years ago and I just love it..my mil got me started. It is just so relaxing, so then my mil started a blog and told me that I should share my creations with everyone...I never thought I was that talented but she gave me the inspiration and told me that I do good work...so that is one reason I started blogging.

2.) The 2nd reason is to share my creations with family and friends, and to meet new friends...which I have so many great ones! I keep blogging to meet more friends and maybe inspire someone else like I have been inspired by so many of you!!!!!! Any time I am in a slump I jump over to other bloggers and see what I can find that gets my mojo a flowing.....I usually don't scraplift anything but I do find alot of inspiration...I might take a idea from one place and then come up with my own creations.....so I want to thank all of my blogger friends for inspiring me and my mom and mil. ....well now I have to send this on to 10 of my blogger friends.
