Old Ship

Hi everyone!

Well here is the last of the groomsmen thank you cards. I love how this card turned out, I wanted it to have that old vintage look & I think I accomplished that...I love it! I sure do hope they all like their cards. Tomorrow I will have the wedding card I made for the bride & groom & it came out awesome, if I do say so myself!!! Come back tomorrow to see for yourself! I also just finished the card I made for Joyce's bridal shower so I'll have that on Friday & that will take care of all wedding projects.

See you tomorrow, sorry this post was short & sweet. Thanks for visiting me today!

Lighthouse Card #2

Good morning Peeps!

Well it sure is soggy here in New England, this is the most rain we've gotten in 55 years. I can't wait to get out West where it's sunny & warm for 2 weeks...hopefully the rain will be long gone by the time we get back & we can enjoy Spring weather here.

Speaking of Vegas, I have a website for you to look at, this store looks huge & you know I will be visiting it while I'm out there! It's called Viva Las Vegastamps, (they even have an online store) so go take a look & if your ever in Vegas why not stop by & let me know what you think...by that time I will already have visited & we can talk about it. If it's something unusual your looking for it looks like they might sell it! I hope I don't spend too much while I'm there, hehehe!!! I'm going to be like a kid in a candy store! We're going to have a car rental so I'll have hubby go get some coffee while I'm shopping, I think that's a great idea, he already knows I'll be in there for hours! I'll let you know what I think & maybe post a picture if I can while I'm out there.

Well today's card is the second of the lighthouse cards, I'm not sure if I like this one too much...I could have colored it a little different I think, I'm not happy with the way the grass came out, oh well.

See you tomorrow with the last of the groomsmen cards, then it will be the wedding card I made for Guy & Joyce and that takes care of all the wedding projects for her wedding. Hope you all stay dry & warm!

Lighthouse Card

Hi Peeps!

Today I have one of the lighthouse cards that I made for one of the groomsmen as a thank you card for Guy to give along with his gift. I will have another lighthouse card tomorrow.

Boy I have been working on lots of cards this weekend, I can't believe how many cards I made in 2 days. I have a lot of birthday's in April & May that I need to make cards for & I need to get them done before I leave for my trip. I hope that I will be able to do some pre-posting for my blog while I'm away. I will have my laptop with me so if I can get internet service I'll see if I can post some pictures for you. There is a rubber stamp store in Vegas that is huge & I want to go there & take a look at what they have & hopefully take a picture while I'm there too. I'll post the link to the website tomorrow. Right now I have to get ready to go out.

Have a fabulous day!

Maid of Honor & Bridesmaid cards

Hi there everyone!

Well aren't you glad it's Friday? The weekend is here & I bet your all glad. I have two cards for you today, yep you heard me right...2 cards today, wow! I have the Maid of Honor card for Kim my great niece (the bride's daughter) & the Bridesmaid's card for Desiree (the groom's daughter). I like how the green color really makes these cards pop! I hope I got the color right, I came as close to Clover as I could. Joyce said it was like emerald but darker so the only color I had on hand was New Leaf from PTI & I love this color, I may use this color more often. I think their going to like it, I think it's so pretty in real life, the picture doesn't do it justice.

Have a great weekend my friends & thanks for dropping by today!

Sesame Street Card

Good mornin' peeps!

Well today I am showing the first of the wedding party cards that I made for Joyce & Guy. I will have one for you everyday this week so come back to take a look.

This first card is for the Ring Bearer who is 2 years old, (I think he's Guy's grandson) I figured he would love Sesame Street characters (what kid doesn't like Big Bird, right?). I got this idea from Dawn Griffith (my go to girl), she made one of these awhile back & I loved it so I thought this would be a great card to give to Bryce. Hope he likes it. It was so much fun seeing these characters come to life on my card.

Well 3 more weeks before we leave for San Diego & Vegas...I can't wait, Dan & I are sooooo looking forward to this nice long vacation! I can't wait to see my great nieces & nephews from the west coast, I haven't seen some of them for awhile so it should be fun.

Thanks for stopping by & visiting me today...have a great day everyone!

Round Birthday Card

Hi everyone!

I'm almost finished putting in my files & software on my laptop. I only have the Photo Elements left to put in (I need to learn how to use that software). That software has so much on it & I hope I can learn how to use it, I'm going to give it another try after my trip...way too much for my brain to take in & learn...it's so complicated for me right now. The software that I've been using is fine & very simple but I can't do a heck of a lot with the pictures. I need to find out if there is a class around here that teaches how to use it.

Anyway, here is a BRAK I sent to Gina Wrona recently. This was the first time I made a round card, I didn't know what I was going to do with it till I cut the scallop circle & then I took it from there & this was the finished product...I think I like it! Then I decided to make her a top note box & put a few surprises in it including some candy that I found out she loves (which was by accident) I happen to love the same chocolate & don't we usually buy what we like so we can eat the leftovers, that's what I do anyway! Hehehe!!!

Hope you enjoy your day, thanks for coming by today! TA, TA for now!

It happened yet again...

Hello Peeps!

Well can you figure out what happened to me yet again? I altered my laptop Saturday afternoon with the Flower decor Elements (pictures below), it came out sooooo pretty & I love it!!!! But 3 hours later I turned on my computer & Ka.....put!!! Nothing, OMGosh this can't be happening to me again...oh no, I can't believe it!!! I had this one for 2 weeks & thought it was safe to apply my flowers cause this PC should be all set...nope that was not to be I'm afraid. So Sunday I called Best Buy & brought the laptop back, yep you guessed it had to get a new one...BUT I was NOT getting another DELL. This girl will NEVER buy another Dell again & when my Desktop goes I will get another brand. So I went looking with my sales guy for another brand that had what I wanted. He recommended the Asus (I had some friends recommend this brand too)but they didn't have one with what I needed, one didn't have enough in it & the other one had too much stuff that I didn't need - nothing in the middle so I ended up with a Toshiba. I'm waiting on Marc (my son) to come over & set up my wireless router yet again. He said he doesn't mind, he's such a good kid, I feel bad that he has to come over again but hey at least I get to see him a lot lately. We'll see how this one goes, I hope this is my last trip to Best Buy, I do have to say their customer service & Geek Squad were fabulous, they were all great & were so helpful. Cross your fingers for me guys!

I lost everything I put into the Dell in the last 2 weeks so I made sure I also bought a portable hard drive (WD My Passport Essential) so that I can back up everything on my PC. Lesson learned there. Anyway it looks like I will be spending my time today adding my files (yet again, I'm getting good at this...had plenty of practice) to the laptop. If I have a chance I will come back & post a card later today.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!


Isn't this sooooo pretty?! I loved how it came out too! What a waste, now I have to buy more flower Decor Elements for my Toshiba & do it all over again but I think I will wait about 2 months to make sure this PC stays with me.

I'm Still Here

Hi Peeps!

Sorry I haven't been around lately but I've been very busy. I bought a laptop (an early birthday gift) & you would not believe what happened...it's my usual history once again with Dell. I must be a jinx when it comes to Dell computers, I had the laptop for 4 days when the screen went black, to make a long story short they replaced my laptop. They said that this happened to a few people, a factory defect on a few of their laptops...of course it could only happen to me. Every Dell I've bought I've had to return because of a defect & this is my 3rd Dell so why do I keep going back? Next time it will be a different brand. So my son had to come back to set up my wireless router. I just bought the New version of Microsoft Office yesterday & installed that myself. I had a lot of files to transfer from my other desktop PC & that took forever because I was also putting everything on CD's to back them up. Next thing I buy will be a portable hard drive to back up all my files from now on...hope to buy that next week. I had spent hours on all those files only to do it all over again when my laptop was replaced...ugh! Thanks to all of you who sent me an email wondering if I was all right, your all so sweet.

In the mist of all this madness I've been working on wedding programs & wedding party thank you cards & I'm glad to say that I'm almost finished. The programs are done & the bridal party thank you cards are done, now I just have to do the thank you cards for the groomsmen & my wedding card for my niece. I should be shipping that out by Monday (I hope).

I will have those cards to post soon. Take care & have a wonderful day.
