Mothers Day


Yes, Mothers Day is right around the corner. I put in my "order" for a cuttlebug, how about you? I needed to come up with a few ideas for Mothers Day cards, this is one of them. I got my inspiration from here ://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/844876 - I loved her card. I did add some of my new baubles I got from Stamping Bella today.


Recipe

Stamps - Best Blossoms and a Hapy Mothers Day stamp from Impression Obsession
Paper - SU Purely Pomegranate and Whisper White
Ink - SU Purely Pomegranate and Always Artichoke
Ribbon - SU Purely Pomegranate and some polka dot from my miscellaneous collection

Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Long Time No Post


Wow, it's been a while, life has been quite busy around here. So, I thought I could post some blog candy to make up for me being MIA. What I have up for grabs is some some cb paper, some square chipboards to be altered, a couple new rolls of ribbon, a brand new pack of 50 book markers, 1 Me & My Big Ideas Rubber Stamp - Jen, (thanks to catcrazy for that), along with any other miscellaneous items, images I may throw in the package also. All you have to do is stop by and post a message!!! I'll put all names into a hat and draw a winner on Friday, May 2nd at 9pm EST!
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!

My Big Baby


Here's my big baby! Nothing but 90 pounds of pure muscle...I mean fat!!! He's such a sweet dog, he'll be 4 in September, and I've never loved an animal like I love Patriot. Even though he enjoys sleeping on my red couch and leaving his white fur all thru the house, I still love him!

Baby Sympathy


I had a request to make a sympathy card for someone. I used my Papertrey ribbon for the first time, and I LOVE it. It was so heavenly to tie....I think I may need more. I used the designer paper from PTI and the Spring Moss Paper.


Thanks for checking in today.

Papertrey PIF


The card I made today is yet another image that comes for the PIF thread on SCS. It came from Shastess and I am in love with this set now. Todays challenge on SCS was to use eyelets on your cards. I've really gotten away from eyelets and find myself using brads more, so this challenge helped me to think outside the box.

Accessories:
Choc Chip Ribbon

April Fools Day!!

Happy April Fools Day everyone! Hopefully you started your day off right by tricking someone you love! I got dh first thing this morning by telling him the dog "peed" in the bedroom. Got to listen to him rant and rave till he got out of the shower and oh the pride that was on my face when I said "April Fools!" What a way to start the day!!! I proceeded to get both of my kids and several people at work - so it was a fairly productive day.
