Happy Birthday Mom!

My mother celebrated her 59th birthday yesterday.  We had a good time visiting with her and gave her a potted flower for her new stand she received from my brother for Mother's Day.  Although she enjoyed the flowers she really liked the card I made for her.  I like the bright yellow with the black and white.  I embossed and fussy cut the bees.  On the one on the flower I attached it to a bit of floral wire I wrapped to give it a springy flying effect.  This was really fun to make. 

It won't be long now before Stampin' Up welcomes a new catalog.  I have seen it and it is WONDERFUL!!! I will be sharing some cards and crafts made using some of the new products.  You are going to LOVE them!  I am so excited.

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was my parents 40th Anniversary!  I am so blessed to have a great role model of what love and sacrifice is!  I made them this gift card holder card to help them celebrate.  I have also entered it in the Late Night Stampers Challenge 222.  I hope you all have a very happy Mother's Day!

April Make and Take

I had a great time today stamping and making cards for my April Make and Take.  I taught them how to make two simple 3D flowers and they loved it. 

Next Thursday I will host a Paper Pumpkin Party and all of my customers who have ordered this great product will come and eat, drink and be crafty. 

Below is our dog Max.  He has the cutest tuft of hair we thought that we would try to put in a pony tail.  I am not sure what exactly he looks like but we thought it was super funny.   

Have a great week and find some time to stamp!

We have a great friend of the family who fell ill and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks.  This is the card I made him to lighten his mood.  He loved it.  He showed it to all of his visitors and was impressed that the light was still on right before he was released.

Combining 2 Great Loves!

I have a great love of animals and work with several different local groups fostering and caring for animals.  I was recently asked to create a Thank You card to give to a generous donor.  Immediately I thought of using MDS (My Digital Studio) to create the card.  MDS is new to me and is now only $19.95.  This is a great way to digitally create cards, scrapbook pages, tags and more.   This is my first run. The dog pictured is one that has been helped through the Excelsior Springs Friends Of Animals or ESFOA.

Is it too early for Mother's Day?

I was working on a card and when it was finished I thought this looks like the perfect card for my mom for Mother's Day.  So now I have to wait to give it to her.  I hope I can wait that long.

Cover Ornament

The ornament on the cover of the 2012 Holiday Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up is beautiful and easy to recreate.  I cut the ornaments and medallion a couple months ago but just got around to putting it together.  I love that you can make a handmade ornament for your Christmas tree or make a great gift!

October Fun in the Sun

I thought that it was about time I got some decent pictures of the kids so we can send out with our Christmas cards.  Here in KC we have been having some erratic weather so before a cold front came I took the kids and took some pictures.  They were not so pleased when I realized that after 1.5 hours the setting had been changed when my husband had last borrowed my camera.  So.... we went out again.  This time I had corrected the settings.  Here are some of the ones that we took.  I still have to Photoshop them and I like to add some filters and shading but thought that all in all they turned out ok for just being unedited.  Now, I will start a scrapbook that I have wanted to for quite some time. 

 

 The above is my oldest.  My beautiful daughter.  She was not happy but tried really hard. 

 This is my oldest son.  I have always thought that he was photogenic.  He does not get it from me!

This is my baby!  Let's just say the Tooth Fairy has been very busy at our house as he now has all 4 of his front teeth gone.  I love his little freckles.

I hope you are able to enjoy some great fall weather!
