Cute Golfer & his side kick!

Hi everyone!

We didn't get the snow that they predicted for last night & I don't know if it's still coming but the deep freeze is on it's way here. The heat will be cranked up for awhile for that I'm sure. I hate winter & the cold!!! BRING on the warmer weather PLEASE! Do you feel that as you get older you just can't take this cold weather or the humidity of the summer? I can no longer tolerate it & this girl is ready to go out west!!! That won't happen for awhile yet I'm afraid but I can still dream can't I? Anyway onto the reason that your here...my card!

Well my son loves to golf & when I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it to make some cards for Marc! Isn't he cute? I bought some golf charms awhile back & knew exactly what I wanted to do with this stamp & the charm & it came out great. I luv it! This is another card that I made for his birthday but I'm going to give him this one when we take him out to dinner. I have one more card that I made for Dan to send to Marc so I will post that one tomorrow. Take care & have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Cookie Card

Hi Everyone!

Today's cards were made for my son's birthday which is this Monday & let me tell you I had so much fun making these & they are really simple to make! I saw this card on Melanie's blog & thought that this would be a great card for Marc since he loves Oreos! When he was in elementary school I always had some Oreos & milk waiting for him when he got home & we would sit at the kitchen table & talk about his day at school. Wow that brings back so many wonderful memories & conversations! When he got older he would finish his snack & start on his homework while I prepared dinner. He still loves his Oreos till this day...really who doesn't!? So thanks so much Mel for this wonderful idea!!! I think you all need to check out Mel's blog, you will be amazed at her talent & she has her own line of stamps at Gina K Designs. I only wish I would have bought her "Have a cookie" stamp set to stamp inside the card...oh well next order (in a few months), I have to be good!

Anyway I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I do & I know Marc will get a kick out of these! I have 2 more birthday cards for Marc to share with you this week. Take care & have a great day! Thanks for swinging by I appreciate all your visits!

Card #2 This is the Twist open cookie card...I luv it!!!




Twist open like you do with a real Oreo cookie to get at the cream part! The brad holds the card together so you can twist it open...how neat is that???

Sympathy Card

Hi everyone!

Wow 2 posts in one day...Amazing!!!

Looks like we are going to get more snow tomorrow, it already looks grim out there. I know a lot of you are in a deep freeze & I hope you are all staying warm & healthy.

So sorry that I didn't get to post yesterday but we ended up going out all day & when I got home I didn't feel like posting. Here is the card I promised that I would post on Monday so I'm a day late & a dollar short! Hehehe!!! I really need to make a stack of sympathy cards to have on hand so that I don't have to feel so sad when I HAVE to make them. This one is for a good dear friend who lost her mother recently & no one (from where we used to work) told us about it till after the funeral, I hate that because Dan & I would have been there for her...out of sight out of mind as the saying goes. Anyway onto my card.



Card Details:

CS: Elegant Eggplant, Wild Wasabi & WW
Stamps: Little Paper Shop & sentiment on front is from Rubber Stampede(AC Moore)
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Koh-I-Noor pencils & OMS

Awards

Hi Everyone!

Yes I’m still alive, just took some time to recharge & relax after the holidays. My craft room is a mess & I don’t even want to go in there right now. You all know how that is after the rush to get things done for the holidays & the mess you create in your rooms. I need to really organize my whole craft room; I have so much new stuff that I don’t even know what I have anymore, hehehe!!! My plan is to create a binder index by company with every stamp that I own & then also create a sentiment book so that I know what I have, I hope to get that all done in a few months, I will do it step by step a little at a time. I also have Gina K’s new stamp storage binders to organize all my unmounted stamp sets…what a GREAT system, I love it!!! That is taking some time also. I did manage to make a card yesterday because I needed a Sympathy card fast for a friend who lost her mother recently. I also need to make my son’s birthday cards so I hope to just clean up a little so that I can do that later today.


Here are 2 awards that I received over the holidays & finally got around to posting…so sorry ladies! Please forgive me for being so tardy?

I got this award awhile ago from both Elena of The Red Haired Girl & Teri from Big Ideas from a Little Girl. Thank you both so much! I’m so sorry it took me so long to post it, you all know that the Holidays is a very hectic time of the Year & we are all so busy so please forgive me for being so late with the posting of these awards.

2. Nominate 5 other people and give a link to their sites

Now I know that a lot of you have already received this award & I don’t know who did not get it so please feel free to take this award & place it on your blog. I want to give this award to all of you because you all encourage & inspire me!

Again I know that lots of you have this award & I think you all have the coolest blogs I know & you all deserve this award! I have about 100 of your blogs on my Google blog reader & love reading them all although I don't always comment all the time please know that I do read them. If I were to post a comment on all of them I would not get any crafting done, so I do comment on each blog once in awhile at different times.

I will have a card for you tomorrow so until then have a great Sunday! Thanks for stopping by today.
