Wow it had been a long time since my last post. My mom has not been doing well and has had a few doctor appointments to go to after she got out of the hospital last week.
I was going through some of my boxes, after moving last year I still have a lot of stuff packed away. After 30 years in one place you get a lot of STUFF, I am still sorting through it to see what I can give away. I found a few of photos that need to be put in the album. The first photo was taken outside the Grapevine community center in 2000. The second photo was taken in Rhome, TX at a Christmas get together. We haven’t changed much but we are still, even after 38 years, very much in love. I used flower shoppe for the flowers and cut a flourish from home accents and added some leaves from a sizzix die along with some pearls from say it in crystals.  The circle with hearts cut is a MTC file.
Hope you have a wonderful remainder of the week. Thanks for stopping by.


I will be entering this in the following challenge:

    It sounds like your heart paper was a perfect choice. I love scrapbook pages, they are such a great way to keep your memories and share them with others.

    Thank you for sharing your work with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.

Today, as is most days, I am working on cards.  I just sent off a batch to OWH and I need to get my stack ready to send out again. Next week will be spring break and I thought I would do a spring like card. I just love the Teddy bear parade cartridge and this little bear for St Patrick's day. I used some stickles on his pot of gold and hat band and lots of green paper.  Hope you like this and will come again soon. These are the challenges I will be entering: http://www.ttcrd.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-craft-room-door-march-4.html http://everybody-art-challenge.blogspot.com/2014/03/268.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/challenge-39-anything-goes.html 2 Cute ink - http://2cuteinkchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-101.html http://www.cardsinenvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/think-green-challenge.html http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2014/03/fccb-challenge-200-pick-holiday.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/03/mim181-with-time-for-tea

I found this cute digital image in my library, I don’t know where it came from. But it is so cute and just made me think of Halloween and fall.  I had these cute leaves in a draw loose, and thought they added a nice touch to the card. I used Prismacolor markers and gelly roll pens for coloring the image.  I love the cooler days and this morning I was able to enjoy my coffee on the porch, God knows we need this rain. I checked the gage this afternoon and we got .70 here in north Texas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.  Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on. I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.jadedblossom.com/2013/10/october-challengeanything-halloween.html http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2013/10/monday-challenge-115-3d-halloween.html http://www.abcchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/10/abc49-halloween.html http://cisforchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/10/challenge-8.html http:/

This is such a super cute digi design from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet. This stamp is called Rosetta.  I used color pencils to color the design and then added some gelly roll pen accents on the wings. I added some cute bling flowers to the prima one and then found a butterfly sticker. For the background I used a spellbinder die and cut it in foil.  I made this into an easel card and used another spellbinder die for the sentiment. This turned out so super I know I will be using this image a lot in the future.  Thanks for stopping by, come again soon.  The Challenges: Crafty Catz - anything goes Cards Galore Encore - lots of bling Catch the Bug - anything goes Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes Delicious Doodles - die cuts and punches Digitally Sweet - anything goes Fan-tastic Tuesday - make it cute or sweet One Crazy Stamper - anything goes Party Time Tuesday - anything goes Pattie's Creations - for a little girl QKR - anything g
