Happy Father's Day Card

Hello everyone,

Here's a card I made my Dad for Father's Day. We're leaving Friday to go back and see both sides of our families, so I decided I wanted to give him his card in person instead of mailing it later. I was using ep on this paper for a Graduation Card that I made for a friend's son and decided it's perfect for a masculine card, so decided to try it out on my dad. What do you think. I think he'll love it. Here's what I used.

Card Recipe:

Base is SU Basic Black CS

Next is a layer of artsy-licious Fine Engraved Chocolate DP.

Stamp set ~ Noble Deer, stamped with VersaMark and embossed with black ep.

Sentiment is from Inkadinkado and stamped with VersaMark and embossed with black ep.

Punched with SU Large Oval Punch and layered on SU Basic Black CS.

Added brads and Ribbon.

Hope you have a wonderful evening.

Come back anytime...

So Curious

Hello everyone.. I'm finally getting back in the groove of scrap booking. I had a wonderful time at the North Texas Shoebox Swap. When we got home Sunday afternoon I went to check on our cats, Hershey and Bubba. My husband noticed that Hershey had an abscess sore about the size of a quarter on her throat and it looked like it was actually rotting out, the center was black. She didn't seem to be in any pain, but it looked absolutely awful. Rick told me he didn't think she would last through the night, and he was right. It was a very sad moment for me. She was just like one of the kids. So anyway, I didn't feel like scrapping yesterday.. I talked with my daughter on the phone and we both cried and laughed at all of the wonderful memories of Hershey. She was 18 years old, and had a wonderful life.
So today I did 2 layouts, since I'm behind with last weeks sketch from 52 Sketches ~ 52 Weeks. This is for Sketch #21. And next week we are going on vacation. This is a page of little Colten. He's growing up way too fast... This was a couple weeks ago. Here's what I used.
Page recipe:
SU Chocolate Chip CS
SU Baja Breeze CS
SU Parisian Breeze DSP

WOW First Place....Way to go Amanda!!!

Hello again,

This last Saturday, May, 16th,

Amanda competed in Houston, Texas, at the Fitness ~ Lone Star and won FIRST PLACE. OMGosh she was so excited and so happy, and I can't tell you how proud we were. She has worked so hard for this and to accomplish this goal in only three shows, well, that's just absolutely amazing..... WAY TO GO AMANDA...

The top picture is of the first, second and third place winners. Amanda is in the middle..

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Have a wonderful evening,

Proud Mother,

I never looked this good, even in my dreams......lol

Hi everyone,

I just have to brag a little. My dear sweet daughter is in body sculpturing and has gone to competition the last two weekends here in Texas. This one was in Austin, May, 9th. It was the INBF Southwestern Natural Championship and she won 3rd place. You know, last year she got a 3rd place, too. We were/are very proud of her, but she was a little disappointed in herself. These are the pictures that were taken. The first one is of her and her wonderful husband, Jason.

Thanks for stopping by.

Come back again,

Proud Mother,

Good morning everyone...
I'm still not happy with the last card I made for the SWAP... So I'm in the process of designing another one. I originally wanted to use SU Good Morning Sunshine DSP, but changed to the SU Raspberry Tart at the last minute. I really think I'm going back to Good Morning Sunshine. I will post it when I get it done.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day,
Be sure and check back soon...
HUGS :-)

North Texas Shoe Box Card Swap ~ My Card

Hello all,

I decided to change my card for the North Texas Shoe Box Swap. The other one I made had too many layers and required a lot of cutting. This one is much easier for me to cut and I think just as pretty. We are only going to have 10 minutes to stamp and put together each card. I have never made a card in 10 minutes before in my life, this will be very interesting.....lol

Here's the recipe:

Base SU Kiwi Kiss CS

SU Raspberry Tart DSP

SU Whisper White CS

SU Friends 24-7 Stamp Set

SU Beautiful Borders Stamp Set

SU Markers

SU Pretty In Pink Ribbon

Brads

SU Word Punch

Thanks for looking,

Have a wonderful evening.

Here's the recipe:

SU Regal Rose CS sponged with Regal Rose ink

SU Tea Party DSP

SU So Saffron CS cut with the Silhouette

SU Certainly Celery cut with the Silhouette

My Moments Paper Roses

Satin Ribbon

DoodleBug Shin Dig Bubblegum Glitter Letters

FORT RILEY (also known as) CAMP GRANDMA Scrapbook Page

Hi everyone, hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. I have been on the road the last "FOUR" hours, following my dear sweet husband as he roads an old Oliver 1650 tractor from a farm auction to our place. It's only about 12 to 13 miles away, but it was pouring down rain and we started out going 3 miles an hour... OMG!!! and then we got up to 7 or 8 miles an hour. I'm so glad to be home... That's time I will never see again....

Anyway, I had this done before I left, but didn't have time to upload it until I got back, just know. You know men, when they're ready to go, they're ready to go, but you can wait on them all day long when you want to go somewhere....lol He knows I love him...
Anyway, I got the inspiration for this page from this weeks sketch from 52 Sketches ~ 52 Weeks Challenge. Check it out here. This is a fort that my DH built about a year ago. The only thing I want to do different is get a longer slide... Savannah loved it last year and is already using it again this year. For now she has to have supervision (notice the chairs), but later on when she gets a little older, all the grand kids will be climbing on it like a bunch of monkeys.... Which you know they get that from the other side of the family... lol....

Here is the recipe for this page:

SU Pacific Point CS
SU Kiwi Kiss CS
SU Summer Sun CS
SU Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Letters ~ Bubble-A-Bilities
Camp Grandma Stickers ~ Creative Imaginations from the Paper Studio
Silhouette
Plastic Flower embellishments (don't know from where)

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Come back again soon.

Just a Note!!

Hi everyone,

I haven't had time to post anything because I've been working on the design for my card for the North Texas Shoebox Swap that's at the end of this month. I'm so happy that I got in before it closed, it sounds like soooo much fun.
Anyway, I've also got an idea on my layout for this weeks sketch challenge from 52 Sketches ~ 52 Weeks, I just need to get it put all together, and I will tonight or tomorrow... So be sure to check back again.

Thanks for stopping by and checking me out...
Have a wonderful day!!
