Mr. Fix it...Father's Day Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

We babysat Braelynn ALL day Saturday & we had a fantastic time with her...she's such a happy baby, always smiling! She's such a joy to be with, we LOVE her sooooo much. I have a few pics of her at the end of this post that I took that day.

Today I have a Father's day card for you that I cased after seeing this card on Amy's Prairie Paper Ink Blog awhile ago. The image is a Mo Manning digital image called "Mr. Fixit" & it's perfect for a masculine card. I LOVE her images...go on over & take a look at her wonderful images by clicking HERE. I had so much fun making this card using MFT tools die & I just love how it turned out. I made this same card in January for my son's birthday & he loved it! Hope you like it!

Well that's it for today. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & visiting me...it's always a pleasure to see & hear from you.

Baby Gift & Card Idea

Good morning Peeps!

I’m back with another project & card that I created for a friend. She's expecting a baby at the end of the month (it's a boy) & I wanted to make her something that I thought she would love & also give her a baby outfit to go along with this gift. She loved it!!! Score one for me, hahaha!!!

This cute idea was easy & so much fun to create. I love making things for people who appreciate hand made gifts...don't you?

Thanks for dropping by & have a great day...it's going to be a gorgeous one here, around 80 degrees today! Time to open some windows!


Altered this box that I saved from one of my favorite hotels in Vegas, it came with a sewing kit, shower cap, etc., they left one in the room everyday & everyday I would stash it in my suitcase, so I ended up with 3 boxes that I use for this cute baby gift idea. Wouldn't you know it...they no longer put these out. I guess they have to change it up so guests don't get bored, hahaha!!!

Box with closet hangers to organize all those different size clothes & when your done store them away in this cute little box!

Gay Wedding Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

I hope all of you who were in our beloved city of Boston are safe.  I pray for all the victims & their families, this was a senseless attack.  Please keep these people in your thoughts & prayers today.

This card was a challenge for me but so happy with how it turned out.  I was asked to make a wedding card for a lesbian couple & this is what I came up with...what do you think?  The one woman was dressing in a black suit, shirt & tie (but I wanted to lightened it up a bit, too much black didn't look good), I was told she had a mohawk but I could not draw one on this face I had that I was told resembled her, so I went with short hair that was on this Hanna stamp (no longer in business).  The body is also a Hanna stamp but it was a business man in a suit that I thought would be great & just cut out both pieces & attached the head to the body.  Then I had two brides that resembled the the other woman who was dressing in a wedding gown & the woman I was doing this for liked this Saturated Canary bride that most resembled the brides face.  She loved the card & I can't wait to find out how the happy couple liked their wedding card.

Well that's all for now, have a great day & thanks for stopping by & spending a little part of your day with me!

Get Well Rainbow

Good afternoon Peeps!

Well Spring is not here yet for us...so sad! More snow coming tomorrow, but I don't think it will be much, will have to check with the weatherman later. Winter does not want to go away...I NEED Spring & warm weather!

Here is my card for today, a cute Get Well Rainbow. I used an embossing folder, cloud & rainbow die are from MFT. Hope you like it!

Talk to you again soon. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by!

Have a Speedy Recovery

Good mornin' Peeps!

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday....what a good game! How about that Beyonce half time show...WOW, that was the BEST half time show EVER!!! I loved it! Congrats to the Ravens they deserved it!

Ok, on to my cards for today. Dawn Griffith fell down in a parking lot last Thursday & broke her thigh bone & had to have surgery over the weekend (she is going home today), she is now on the road to recovery but will be laid up for awhile, so I needed to make her a get well card & this is what I made for her. I figured while I was at it I would make another one for my stash. Hope you like it!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & spending a little part of your day with me...I sure do love your company!

Rainbow Cards

Good Monday mornin' Peeps!

Are you ready for the start of a whole new week...I am! So, lets get started shall we.

Today's cards are all using the MFT Rainbow die , I finally got to use it after purchasing it about a year ago. I made 7 rainbows (so watch for more rainbow cards) I have 3 of them for you today. Click HERE to see a real easy way to make a colorful rainbow using this die from MFT....your going to LOVE this idea, I promise. It's a little time consuming but well worth it. All of the dies I used today are from MFT.

I love the background paper, it adds a whimsical feel to this card.

Cut the rainbow off a little, glued it to the edge, added an embossed cloud & put a gold mat behind the main panel.

Inside - I outlined the edges with a black fine tip marker. I like how it gives it a different finished look, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you have a great day!

Happy stamping peeps!

Happy Birthday Marc!!!

Thanksgiving Favors

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing the favors I made for Thanksgiving, I have to keep up the tradition because everyone loves to get whatever surprise I put inside (they also like having a place card or something with their names on them as well)...some sweet yummy for their tummies, hahaha!!!

Come back tomorrow for a little touch of Hawaii! Wish I was still there, where it's nice & warm instead of this bitter cold. It's warming up for the next few days here, supposed to be in the 40's & low 50's...that is so much better than the teens. Have a great day!

Happy stamping!

Christmas Gift Card Holders

Hello peeps!

Here are the last of the Christmas projects I made for the holidays. I do have a few items that I made which have not been posted yet so come back next week for those.

Have a great weekend & thanks for dropping by!

Note: Someone asked if I put lipstick on & then kissed the cover to these cards...that made me laugh!!! No I did not. It's a stamp from SU, I think it's retired but I'm not sure.

Date Night Gift Cards

Good mornin' Peeps!

Today I am sharing the Date Night gift card holders that I made for both Jessica & I to give to Marc & Sarah. Jessica told me that she wanted to do a dinner & a movie gift & I knew exactly what I wanted to do so I ordered the MFT At the Movies stamp & die set & got to work trying to figure out how I was going to make my vision in my head work when it hit me finally. I made it in two steps...I made the cards seperately (I made two 5 X 7 cards) then I adhered the backs together to make one card. I love it!!!

Well I hope you enjoy todays post, I will have another gift that I made for my kids tomorrow so come back & visit me. Have a good day & thanks for dropping by & visiting!

This image is an InStyle Anime stamp. Don't know if this company is still around or if they still sell Anime stamps, sorry.

This is the front of the card that I made for Jessica to give to Mark & Sarah.

First part of card has a gift card holder in the pocket with the chef on it & the other pocket holds a babysitting certificate. See 2 pictures below.

My good friend Sandi's husband Phil made this certificate for me...without him I could never have pulled this off the way I wanted it to look because I am not good at computer things like this. I emailed Sandi & asked if Phil could make something like what I wanted, one for me & one for Jessica & he came through with flying colors as always. I can really count on him whenever I need his help. Thanks again Phil, I appreciate it more than you know. Marc & Sarah loved it & said that it was an endless certificate & both Jessica & I agreed of course!

Jessica's card was a two part card, one side to dine out, flip to next page & you have the movie part. I put two cards together to make it as one. I love how it turned out!
