Freedom

I made this card for Memorial Day and for a couple of challenges: my friend Stacy's and
Simon Says Stamp Presents a Star Challenge! over at Lily Pad Cards and Simon Says Stamp and Show a summer holiday. You could say this would work as a Memorial Day card and a Fourth of July card. I used a PageMaps sketch... I took it pretty literally!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are enjoying the Memorial Day weekend and remember our fallen soldiers and their families with a prayer.

Sweethearts in the Moonlight

This is my attempt with the same Crafter's Companion stamp set that my sister used in the last two posts. She stamped off an image for me and mailed it to me. I got it today!  I also added some metallic accents for Stacy's contest using a Faber Castell pen, the ribbon is kind of metallic copper and the paper is from the Natural Stack by DCWV and has a metallic copper grid and stars in it. I thought it made it look like shooting stars... I'm entering it in the CC challenge "something sweet" as well as anything goes for Simon Says Stamp and Show. You can see part of a coffee scoop and a bowl Steve made in the background. I was too lazy to go downstairs to my photo booth!

Well, at least I'm crafting a little bit.

We had an open house (or rather our real estate agent did). It sounded like a few people came through. I know our house has never been cleaner!!! lol

Thanks for visiting! I hope you are having a great weekend!!!

Happy Birthday in Denim and Stars

Here's a card I did for The Paper Variety's Star Studded Challenge!!  I made it out of felt, denim, a button and twine.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. Simple, but still cute, I thought... I'm also entering it at a new place (to me):  Scrappy Frogs Challenge.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

Christmas Tree Card

Well, at least I'm sharing a craft...This is for Stacy's challenge over at Sketches 4 All!

I've been so busy. Steve (and a little bit me) are organizing a craft fair to benefit the Speech and Debate team. You wouldn't believe the amount of work it takes to do it! I can't tell you how many early morning phone calls came while I was sick.... Anyway, Steve has a show this weekend so I won't have any time to craft this weekend either. Tonight is the Christmas party at the monthly stamp club. I'm doing two projects to share with the other ladies for that and baking some yummy cherry/cream cheese goodies. They look so Christmasy and are YUMMY!
We have our tree up with lights--but no ornaments! And, I have about 5 boxes of decorations to put out! I'm tired even writing it! Ha Ha!

Soon, I'll be scrapbooking up a storm!!!

Baby Boy in Blue

I made this using Sketch 23 from Sketchabilities, all in blue for challenge 76 Scrap Whispers, with a B and a boat for Lucinda's challenge at Sketches for All! You wouldn't believe how many pictures I haven't scrapped of my son. I didn't start scrapping until he was 5! I don't scrapbook in order! Thank goodness, or I would feel really behind!!! :-)

Red White and Blue Birthday Card

I made this card for our nephew's birthday! I made it for
Frosted Design's weekly challenge said to use Stars and Stripes, and red, white and blue!  I put foam tape under the larger RED star and put glitter on all of the stars! I am also entering it in the Really Reasonable Ribbon patriotic challenge.
