Today I made a card using one of my retired sets A Little Someone. There are about 5 pregnant teachers at my school. So I need to get started on some baby cards!

Hello Ladies. Happy Thursday. I'm so happy this weekend is almost here. We have a long weekend ahead of us too!!
This card is one I made with one of my favorite sets. Even though it's a "sympathy" set, the flowers can be used to make all different types of cards. I made a sympathy card because it seems that there was a big need for them at school so far this year. Sorry for the terrible picture. It was the only way I could get the texture to show. I'm not very good with this camera.

This other picture I have is of my "new" puppy. I was puppy sitting for one of the teachers at work over the summer because she had to go home (New Zealand), for the summer and work. She thought she would be able to bring her puppy back with her but she wasn't able to. Now I have a puppy. She's great!!

Hello Ladies. Happy Friday!!

I was trying to use some of my scraps from my retired paper. This is what I came up with. Today I scrapbooked for the first time in a very long time. I met with a group at Archivers. I wanted to work on my wedding album which I've been tying to get done for a couple of years now. They didn't have the type of embellishments I was looking for. I did manage to get 1 page done and put a title on one of my other pages. I think I'm going to go back next week more prepared.

Well I have to go and try and get some things ready for a scrapbook thing I'm going to. We will be at one of the local scrapbook stores. I haven't really scrapped in a long time, so getting with some other ladies will help me get my pages done. Have a wonderful day!

Song of Spring

Happy Sunday Ladies,

This card was a real challenge for me. I bought this stamp set because I wanted to get away from just buying flower sets. Well when I got it, I didn't like it. This is only my second card with this set. The challenging thing for me was coloring the bird. I looked in the catalog to see what colors they used for coloring it. It was hard trying to blend the colors together. I should have used the pastels instead of the ink. I like the final outcome of the card. I think it's cute. Have a wonderful day.

Hello Ladies. Happy Saturday to you all. Yesterday I went over to my upline Brenda's house. She showed me so many cute cards and things that she had been doing. She showed me this card she did with the Cheep Talk stamp set. It was sooo cute. This is my interpretation of it. Have a great day.

Hello Ladies,

Today's card is one that I saw on splitcoast. I tried to find it and now I can't. I like these colors together. I tried to dye some ribbon but I didn't do a very good job. It kept coming out too light. then I just took the marker and colored it. I should have just left it off but some of the ink is on the white part of the card now :) Oh well, I tried.

Supplies:

Baroque Motifs & Kind & Caring Thoughts ss; Soft Suede & Rich Razzleberry cs & ink; gemstone, ribbon

Kind & Caring

Happy Thursday Ladies,

Here is a card I did today. I just love these colors. They are so yummy.

I'm trying to get a million things done at once and not getting anything done. I just have to finish one thing before I move to the next thing. My problem is I can't concentrate on one thing for more than 5 minutes before I think of something else that needs my attention. My husband HATES when I do that. Well I'm off. I just thought of something else I have to do! LOL

Supplies:

Kind & Caring Thoughts ss; Mambo Melon & Crushed Curry cs; Razzleberry Lemonade DSP; Crushed Curry ink, Eyelet Boarder & Ticket Corner punch
