It's all about LOVE!

This was a sketch challenge card....

And here is the original sketch.

Janet's Mother's Day Card

I am completely in love with this card. It's made out of WorldWin Papers Cascata (which is a felted cardstock) and Inkjet Vellum, which I have inked w/ a Blue Iris ColorBox Cat's Eye Chalk Ink. And the leaves are inked in Moss.
(thanks alot Jamie, for my addiction...and now I can't find them anywhere near me! Between that and my Stickles addiction...I am poor!
Ha! Ha! Ha!)


Here's the flower close-up. This is really breathtaking IRL, but it's so hard to get good pictures of it. The flowers are made out of 2 of The Paper Studio scallop circle punches and the leaves are free-hand cut. Oh, and before I gave it to her, I changed the tag to say Janet.
(which is what I call her....her real name.)

But, she is my Mom. My BONUS Mom. She has such a good heart. She loves my children. We are very lucky to have her. And I love her....

Cherish card

This card was actually made for Mother's Day. But, then I made one I liked even better.
And I'll show you that one in the next post.....
I'm in love with this card!

Yep, I suck....

Every single day I think......I'm gonna update my blog.
And every single day....I don't get to it!

And today is really just the same......
...I am just too stinkin' busy.

I've been working like a crazy person.
I'm getting ready to leave on a trip in one more day.
The kids get out of school next week, so we are trying to wrap up the year.

I'm exhausted.

I'll try to post something fun and exciting soon!

Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me how much I suck!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG DADDY!!!!!!!!! We love you so very much!!!!!

Some recent scrappin' stuff!!!

So...yesterday was May 1st, otherwise known as MAY DAY.
The tradition of May Day is to fill a basket full of flowers and then deliver them to the door of your neighbor. But, the fun part is, you hang the basket, ring the bell and RUN!!!
(and the fun part is to not get caught!!)

So, I made a few May Day Baskets...one traditional and one whimsical....(or dare I say, cute?!...right WWPDT girls?!?) Ha ha ha!

(sorry, inside joke...right, Kim?!)


Don't you wish you were my neighbor!?!? Ha ha!!


And in the Spirit of Spring....here's another little project.
Now, I know the actual "First Day of Spring" was several weeks ago...but you have to remember we are just now seeing blooming trees and the first flowers of the season here in Kansas.
(shoot...it snowed 2 weeks ago!!!)
