My Pride and Joy

Well do you all remember a few days ago I showed you a picture of my oldest grandson going to the prom?? Well my youngest daughter got a picture of him and his girlfriend and sent it to me so I just had to share it with you all. He is so grown up, I remember when he was just a little one. You know they say there is always something special about your first granchild, well that is so true.

Good Day!!!!!! Well it is the first of the week so that means I am back to work. The weekends go so fast!!! But for some good news, I FINALLY got out of the department from *&)(*&()*& !!!!
So my work day isn't real bad now. I am so loving the new line I am on and it is so much easier, especially on an old lady like me lol But the draw back to it is that we go in a hour early so that means 3 am the ol alarm goes off now lol

Anyway on to my card I have today, I have used one of the new images from the Get Well Collection from Whiff of Joy. This one is Willow with the Chicken Soup!!! Oh isn't she just a beauty??? She is colored in with my copic's and I have used papers from BG. The flower is from a tutorial I found over on Julie's blog. So easy, and I used the MS branch punch with it.

I made some pearls with my pearl pens and the sentiment well not for sure on that one but I did use the SU punches for it.

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!!

I wanted to pop some cards I made this week up on my blog, before my gang got here lol. Will be quite busy with the little ones roaming around lol But would like to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and hope your day is filled with wonderful times.

My first card here is for Sketch Saturday and I have used one of the new Anya's here, she is colored with my copics and I have added some glamour dust to her gloves. I have used the yummy papers from BG, I so love this set of papers.

The border punch is from Martha Stewart and I have added some pearl pen to the centers of each. And the sentiment is from SU and of course these gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. (my blog candy is about to expire soon). And under the flowers I have used the MS branch punch.

Here is a notebook I made with one of the new images soon to be released from Sugar Nelllie from the Mary Hall collection. You all are going to love these new images for they are so much larger now. Had a blast coloring these in. I used papers from SEI, the border punch is from MS The metal plate of wording is from Making Memories and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, along with the leaf and branch punch from McGill and Lem. I have added some pearl pens to lots of places on the book. I followed the sketch over at Create4Fun Challenge Blog



Here is a full view of the book

And look at this one, I have searched high and low for these images of Morehead and finally found them with the help of my dear friend Bev so I just got them yesterday and had to ink one of them up. Isn't she a doll??? I have used papers from BoBunny and followed the sketch over at Paper Take Weekly. She is colored with my copics and I have added some pearl brads that my dear friend Bev got me for my birthday last month. Thanks sweetie. The sentiment is from Whiff Of Joy.

Now another sneak peak of the Mary Hall collection from Sugar Nellie. I just love this one with the Sunflower, Oh she is so cute. My photo didn't turn out well for my papers are kind of glossy. But here I followed the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl. I colored her with my copic's and added a flower from Prima with the LEM punch. I have a lace doily behind the image and added some pearl pen to the card. Taking some getting use to with these pens but once I get it I am going to love them.

Well this is all I have time for today folks. I have more sneak peaks from Sugar Nellie and more new release's from Whiff Of Joy so stay tuned. Everyone enjoy there Mother's Day.

Tea Light Card

Good Day everyone!!! I hope everyone is doing well today. I am back at work today so hope this post goes off without any hitches. I have wanted to make one of these Tea light cards since I saw them on Lena's blog. She has a wonderful tutorial for you over there so if you want to make one make sure you check her blog out.

This is my first one and I must say I hope the second one will turn out better have a few mistakes on it but hey 1st time lol

I have used some new images from Whiff Of Joy Store Stamp Kit. This kit is just out of this world. I so love each image on this sheet and just had to have it. My images have been colored in with my copic's and all the sentiments are on in the kit also, it is a must have that is for sure.

On the front here I have used some of my new flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and have used the MS branch punch with it. I have added some flat pearls in a couple of the corners and the sentiment is punched out with SU punches and added some flat pearls to it also.

Here is a close up of the front. I added some SU string to keep the tea lights from falling out. lol

Now here is the inside and I am so sorry for the bad photo. I just can't get a good picture anymore of my cards. I am using a daylight for by the time I get home it is not good lighting . But something is still wrong so please forgive the pictures.

The images on the inside are also colored with my copic's and and the wording is from Whiff of Joy also and I used the spellbinder dies on them. The papers I have used are from BoBunny and these have to be my favorite that is for sure.
I used the yellow pearl pen from Susana's on this and here is one of my mistakes lol I got in to big of a hurry to finish it and wasn't doing a good job with the pearl pen. Lesson learned, don't hurry with these pens. They sure are not straight that is for sure lol I know what to do next time.


Well I hope you have enjoyed my little project here and hopefully the next one will be much better. Thanks for stopping bye, and for leaving me all your comments, so enjoy reading them when I get home from a hard day at work. Sending Big Hugs your way (((((((((((()))))))))

I haven't seen him for almost a year and I really miss him. But he was going to the prom last weekend with his girlfriend and so I just had to show off his picture.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!! Well today is the last day for me to be off work, have to go back to the grind board tomorrow so this morning I had some play time, and managed to do a few challenges.

My first card is for Sketchy Colors, they have a gorgeous sketch over there this week and just had to join in. There is always so much inspiration on there blog. I have used one of Elizabeth Bells Digital images called Rachel the Angel. Isnt' she just adorable??? Oh I just fell in love with her. I have colored her with my copic's and my papers are from Bo Bunny. I used the SU ticket punch on the corner of the image and added some spacers and brads in each. I added a Prima flower with a button center that one of my very dear friends sent me, and added the MS branch punch to it. The sentiment is punched out with SU punches. My friend Kim showed me the pearl pens and just had to get some and boy do I love them, so I added them to my card today, I got them over at Susana's and talk about fast shipping !!! WOW!! But you all are going to love these.

My next card is for the sketch over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp, I have used one of the new images from the Get Well Collection at Whiff Of Joy, isn't this clown just the cutest??? She is colored with my copic's and I added some Ric rack to the card along with those awesome pearl pens from Susana's (see post above). I also die cut a Balloon out and added the Whiff of Joy sentiment to it.


Now here is another one of the new Get well images from Whiff of Joy. Little Doctor I just went to the Dr Friday for my checkup, and this is what my Dr had on so just had to color him in just like the real Dr lol This card has been made with the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. I used papers from Anna Griffith. and the red medical cross was just one I had in my stash. I also added some of the red pearl pen from Susana's ( top post).

I finally finished a tote box that I got from Creative Cuts and what a more perfect stamp to use for this. This is one of the New Manga's from Sugar Nellie she is called Cheerleader.

Now I know you all are loving these cuties for I have read your comments you have left me on my other posts about them. So I do hope you have got yours ordered so they will be ready to go out Tuesday to come home to you.

So what better subject for her to be cheering none of than Sugar Nellie, so I added a computer generated tag for 3 Cheers for Sugar Nellie and used some SU punches to punch it out. And what do most people eat when they are at a game?? Yes some popcorn so had to fill the box with some popcorn. Now I would of had this project done sooner but I kept eating all the popcorn and hadn't had my project finished so today I finally finished it and went to the store and got another bag lol Yelp I am going to be eating it too lol

This was really left simple I just colored her with my copic's and cut her out with the spellbinder dies and added the tag.

Here is a close up of her!!! Isn't she gorgeous!!!

Well I had better go and finish up some more DT work and then I think I am going to chill the rest of the day watching some TV. As long as I don't fall asleep I will be okay but this rain always makes me so sleepy lol

Thanks for stopping bye today and am so loving reading your comments, they sure make my day. Sending Big Hugs (((((((((())))))))))))))))

I believe the wording is from Stampavie
