Some Easter cards

I only had time to put a few together and here are two. The stamps are from Close To My Heart.

Charliene and the Fence

I love this new Charliene and the fence stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps. I stamped the fence and then used a mask on Charliene's bottom half and stamped her waving over the fence. I also used the colors for Clear Dollar challenge on Paper Craft Challenge. I was late, but I at least got one done! LOL

Finally a card

I have finally gotten something done and loaded!! This card is using a set from There She Goes called Nature of Friendship. This was released in March and is an awesome set. I love it as there are 25 stamps in it.

Am I really a slacker??????

OK, i have this friend, who shall remain nameless, but you can view her awesome work HERE!!! who called me a slacker??? (Ok, it is Katie, haha go look at what she has done lately!!)

OK, I guess I have been. It has been three weeks since a post. Well, I got sick and then, on the 27th until yesterday, I got to have the fun of my two nephews, Landon who is almost 5 and Calvie who is almost two (Both next month), spending the week with me. 24/7!! I have the boys during the week, but mommy is usually here by 5 pm to pick them up. So, between having a cough that kept me awake, the boys, my girls and their fast pitch schedule and then baby Kayla three days, I haven't posted a thing, I have worked on about three cards, but my camera is full and needs to be downloaded but I need Cissy to do it as I did a video of Kayla talking.

I actually slept in until 7:30 this morning and plan on working on some cards today - my brother retired this past week and we are getting together tomorrow to celebrate this. I have decided that I am not old enough to have a brother who is retired!! LOL It is a good thing it is in job only because he is the world's oldest teenager!!!

Stamp Something Challenge using green

I was asked to make some invitations for a wedding shower and this is what I came up with. It is using sage green as that is one of her colors. I decided it would work for Stamp Somethings
challenge using green.

Since I haven't done anything in weeks due to re adjusting to having a baby four days a week- it is wonderful, she is a happy girl and I am treasuring every second just like with the boys - and also the girls having fast pitch practice 6 days a week- games start next week - I decided to share what Cissy is doing. She is making a scrapbook for one of her classes about her and her personality. This kid is a hoot!! She has the goofiest sense of humor and has fun. So here are her first two pages.

Not much cardmaking going on here

I haven't been doing much card making or crafts, this is one of the reasons why, Baby Kayla. She is my great great niece who is 4 months old and while her Granma's shoulder heals, she gets to come play with the boys and me.

The She Goes Bling Challenge

I love this little dragonfly from There She Goes and so I decided to use it for the Bling Challenge. I sewed the lines then added some crystals and walah, there it is!!!

Flowabella Congrats

I had some images from my friend Katie so I used Flowabella to make a congratulations card. I love how bright she is.

In loving memory . . . . .

My cousin's son Myles, left us on Monday to be in God's loving arms. I had not yet gotten to meet this little man and I am so sorry for that but his smile will be in my heart forever.

Not a thing to upload

I have had a busy week and I have nothing to post!! LOL
I have actually been working on a hand embroidered set of pillowcases for my niece - it was supposed to be a wedding present- they got married last year!! LOL

Give Me A Buzz

At Jeans Art Dolls they had a card sketch challenge which I thought would be fun to make using my new set of Stamps from There She Goes called Bug Me Anytime. This is a great set.

Charlie again!!

Here is Charlie again, can you tell I like Charlie? I actually did some sewing on this card- my poor machine has no idea what is happening. No use for years and then now on paper instead of fabric!! LOL

Another Valentine Card

Another Valentine card, this one, I made and the heart comes out and hangs down.

Clear Dollar Stamps Blog Candy Challenge

On Lori's blog, ClearlyiStamp from
Clear Dollar Stamps she gave a challenge to "Create a card, scrapbook page, or project using Clear Dollar Stamps LLC ". So, of course I had to take part. I love her Charlie Horse!!! I used my Charlie Fenced in and ran over to my friend Katie's and borrowed the Critters Barn, Wood grain stamp and Charlie Frolic. I have been saving plastic frosting containers to make pen and pencil holders and thought this would be fun to use the Charlie's.

I thought that this pen holder and card would go to our friends who on Wednesday nights during the summer have a program that is geared towards Elementary age kids and under but everyone is welcome to come, ride horses, feast on hot dogs and learn about Cactus Jack through a bible story. We end the night with Smores around the campfire. It is a wonderful experience for us all and my girls spent last summer taking care of the horses and leading and riding with the little kids.

Cindy at Jeans Art Dolls had a card sketch this week that I thought would be fun. I used a stamp I have had forever and love to watercolor her.

Valentine Cards!!

Happy Birthday Travis

My cousin's husband's birthday is Tuesday so I made him this card and sent it off to me. It was with the Stampin' Up Loads of Love truck, which is actually his wife's stamp set, and I had to add a little red for rust on it. The cupcake is a little tiny set I have that I am not sure where I got it at. The birthday wishes is from the Chelsea sentiments by Inkadinkado.
