Good mornin' everyone!

Hope your day is off to a good start! Well it won't be long now...August 15th is coming up fast & before you know it we will have a little princess to welcome into our family & we are all so excited!!! Here is a picture of her cute crib that Sarah got ready last week, isn't it sooooo cute? She's going to LOVE it!



Today's cards are the first batch of Father's Day cards. I have a total of 3 posts containing Father's day cards, so stay tune for Parts 2 & 3! Leave me a comment & let me know what you think.

Thanks for dropping by...have a fabulous day!














Happy Stampin' blog buddies!

Sweet Little Bundle of Joy!

Hello peeps!

Hope your enjoying your weekend! Here are two more baby cards. Just a couple of simple but pretty cards. I have three more baby cards to show you this week, then we move on to Get Well cards. Thanks for stopping by today & have a great Sunday!






Happy stamping!

See you on the golf course!

Good morning everyone!

Short post today, I have lots to do, so let's get to it, shall we.

Today's cards are again for the golfer in your life. These stamps are from TAC & I just found out that as of August they went out of business...so sad because their stamps were fantastic. I ended up masking the golf bag with the scenery of the golf course & I love how it turned out, I wish I would have done it to the other one as well but variety is the spice of life...right? I hope you enjoy today's cards.

Have a great day!

I admire your drive...

Good morning everyone!

It's another soggy & gloomy day here, I hope the rain stops soon...I NEED me some SUNSHINE!!! I wish I could package this rain & send it over to you people in Texas. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers & I sure do hope you get some relief soon.

Today's cards are made for the golfer in your life. These were made using a stamp set that I bought a few years back from TAC. I like the green design better than the kraft card...what do you think?

Well I'm off to see Jessica, so she can do my hair & make me pretty for the day! It's great having a daughter who's a hair & make-up stylist...I wish I could take her on vacations with me! Hmmmmm....maybe we can take her to Hawaii with us, boy would I love that, I sure hope her & Marc & their spouses can go with us next year, now that would really make it all worth while! I told Dan that I would love to re-new our vows there for our 40th anniversary next year...do you think he got the hint? I surely doubt it! Oh well, I tried!

Have a great day!














Stay dry everyone & thanks for sharing part of your day with me, I really appreciate you all!

Fore your Birthday

Hello Peeps!

Here is the birthday card that I made for Marc & I love how it turned out! I think it looked better in my mind but I have to say I think I did it justice...what do you think? The spiral didn't quite turn out the way I imagined & I cut a few of them out but couldn't get it just right & I wanted to do 2 spirals but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted so this is what I ended up with...not bad, I like it! I think Marc will like it. He won't get to see it till he returns home, he's on business in San Francisco next week & will be spending his birthday there. His birthday is Wednesday & I sure hope he gets to connect with one of his best friends from high school (who now lives in San Francisco)while he's out there.

The sentiment on the front is computer generated & the Golf sentiment inside is a Digi from Create with TLC. I also used some golf stamps from TAC & Stamping Bella.

Talk to you again soon.

Hi everyone!

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!

A New Golfer is Born...Ya Think?

Hello Peeps!

First of all I want to wish my son-in-law Steve a Happy Birthday, today is his birthday! Happy Birthday kiddo...hope you have a great day!!!

I wanted to share the card I made for Steve last week. He played golf in the wedding tournament that Marc & Sarah had the day after the wedding & I think he liked it! So maybe we have another golfer in the family, ya think? If he starts buying golf equipment this Spring then we will know for sure.

Well I'm finally joining in on the Copic bandwagon...why did I wait sooooo long??? OMG I bought a few for skin tones & fell in love with these babies! I went to my FAV store BELLA ART (in Johnston, R.I.) last week to get some Gold CS that I needed for my nieces wedding program folders & bought a few more markers & then I went to the Croptopia in Newport on Friday night (just to shop not to crop) & bought more from Bella Art & another booth that was selling them too & I am so hooked that I want them all!!! I guess I have to settle on buying a few at a time every now & then. Are you like me, when you want something you just have to have it NOW? It's sooo hard to have to buy this way but my budget won't allow me to do it any other way :o( I also finally found some Polar White Flower Soft & some of the Basic Grey paper pads I was looking for, so I'm happy I stopped by to shop & hubby was so nice to give me more money to shop, he's such a peach...LOVE ya honey!!!

Well that's it for today so thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Future golfer?...we'll see!!!

Little Cutie Pie!

Hi peeps!

Thought I'd stop in with a quick post. Jessica called me the other day & asked me to make a birthday card for a one year old girl & if I could make it right away so of course I said yes but it would have to be a simple one. So I went upstairs & went to work...here is what I came up with, sorry I didn't write down the supplies I used so I went by memory while looking at the card I was posting. Then Sarah called & asked if I would make her cards for 4 of her bridesmaids & she sent me the sentiment she wanted to put inside. I'm almost done with those, all I have left to do is color the images & I'll bring that to her sometime this week. I have lots of errands to do this week so I'll be in & out of the house all week but I hope to at least post a few more times before the wedding. I can't believe it's almost here...this year went by sooooo fast!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!

More Onesie's

Hi everyone!

I finally got enough nerve to try my hand at changing the look of my blog...how do you like it? I think I like it!!! I did it all by myself & even changed the size of things in my sidebar, wow I amaze myself sometimes! Hahaha!!! I decided to give it a try after seeing Teri & Jodi's blog, Jodi had the link to the website so I went & took a look & well the rest is history as they say, hehehe!!! Thanks Jodi! Also I can't forget to thank Deb the Creator of these backgrounds. Thanks so much Deb & you made the steps real easy to follow, even a computer dummy like myself found it so easy.

Anyway on to my cards. Here are the rest of the onesie's that I made last weekend.

Take care & thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to a tasting with Marc & Sarah & her parents to taste some food for the wedding, should be fun.

Last Father's Day Card

Hi everyone,

Well it looks like we will be putting our AC in our bedroom window tomorrow, it is supposed to be in the low 90's here for a few days! I know what crazy weather we have here in New England, today it's like in the low 60's & tomorrow heat wave, ugh!!! The other AC's that we put in the Den & my craft room will have to wait til I clean the windows & put up the curtains, so you know I will be working on the upstairs bathroom today so that I can get to those rooms ASAP! Hehehe!!! I guess that's one way to get me to move my butt! I need AC when it gets that hot!


Anyway I needed to post this so that I can get to work on cleaning today! I finally used some stamps that I purchased a long time ago specifically for Father's Day. I have so many stamps that I have purchased awhile ago & just have not had the time to play with yet due to the shower & wedding taking up all of my time. So after the wedding I will be stamping up a storm so I can play with them all, I can't wait! So here is the last card for Father's day. I had this card in mind for my son's girlfriend Sarah to give to her Dad, he plays golf & my son goes with him sometimes (this stamp will be used sometime in the future to make a card for him whenever he has kids). I got this card design from a picture in the TAC catalog, I loved it & knew I wanted to make one like it.

That's it for today ladies so have a great weekend & stay cool! Thanks for stopping by today!
