Alex

Alexander Lynn Massman (July 11, 1995 - February 16, 2011) RIP

I wanted to say thank you to all of you who expressed your sympathies during this difficult time.  Naturally, I have been behind in getting around to blogs and probably won't be able to catch up (from looking at my feed reader)!  It means so much to know that prayers are being said all over the world!  The funeral was beautiful and it helps us to know that the community has embraced Alex's family in one LARGE hug!

Please pray for us!

We have tragically lost our 15 year old nephew. He died at his home. Please pray for us.

Dragonfly

I helped my husband design this one! He turned each sized dowel separately and then inlaid them in the beautiful platter that he made on the lathe!!!!

1999 in Panama City, Florida

I made this using a sketch from Just Us Girls. It seems to be designed for cards, but I love scrapbooking so much more!  It fit some challenges at Sketches 4 All also! Steve and I got married this year. We actually took this trip before we got married because we were unable to take a honeymoon! It's a long story...

Valentine's Card for You Know Who

Shh. Don't tell. This is my Sweetheart's Valentine's card.  I made it for The Paper Variety's cupcake challenge using the sketch from Card Positioning Systems and the colors from The Color Throwdown!  I thought they all went well together, and I was having a hard time deciding what to do for "You Know Who."  Anyway, I used some embossing folders and my Cricut so this went together really quickly!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog! If you leave a comment, I'll know you were here!

Have a great day!

Meet Frenchie - Our Blizzard Snow(wo)man

I have been waiting for some great pictures to use this beautiful Bo Bunny paper!!!  The blizzard we had last week gave me quite a few photos!  This is Frenchie, our Blizzard snow(wo)man!  She has sedum flowers for her hair!!!  There is a story behind the leather mittens in the bottom left.  The boys got new wallets for Christmas--so I saved the old ones to make mitten die cuts with my Sizzix.  I embossed the blue mittens so they would feel special, too!  I also embossed the mats under the photos!  The little white flowers sparkle in real life!  I am going to enter this into Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything but a card challenge.

Thanks for visiting my blog! If you have time, please leave me a comment so I know that you visited! Have a great day!
