It's Friday!!!

One last card before I head to school and then off to NY. I love Stacey's jewelry color inspiration and managed to find something teal to work on this one.

I paired it up with this week's Sweet n' Sassy sketch (love the size) and here's my card:

My camera died (well the batteries) after I took this picture so I couldn't get a better one. How will I take pictures of the new Yankee Stadium??? Perhaps DH will be running an errand before we leave today.....

Bug Me Anytime!

Here's my creation for the 1 year anniversary celebration of From Courtney's Closet. I love Libby's cards and cute family pics and even though I didnt' finish by last night's deadline I really wanted to play and love what I came up with. All the cards Libby's been making with Gina K's Wee Tees are too cute, nevermind all her other fabulous work.

I chose Courtney's 5 month outfit as my inspiration. When I saw the polka dots on that top I thought of this fun paper I've had since Christmas and haven't used much. Just one that caught my eye at AC Moore, and it went perfectly with my ladybug and sentiment from SU's Very Punny.

Have a great weekend....I'm off to NY to visit DH's family and go see the new Yankee Stadium. Should be a great day for baseball!!!

Smiles,

Mom, don't show Dad!!!!

Here's another card I made for a Stampin' Out Alzheimers challenge, though I don't remember which one. I made it, took a picture, and just never got to posting it. So many challenges, so little time.



As my title implies, this will be my Dad's Father's Day card. I'm pretty sure he doesn't check out the blog unless my mom shows him something so I think she'll follow instructions here.

This sentiment is so true of my father. He's always going the extra mile to help people (not just his kids) and taught me so much growing up. I'd rather not do it, but if needed I could change my oil, change a tire, even put new brakes on the car (with a bit of help) if needed.

Speaking of my mom and dad they'll be celebrating their 34th anniversary on the 29th. Also celebrating a wedding anniversary on the 29th is Roberta of Prairie Fairy who has some blog candy HERE for the occassion. My grandparents were also married on June 29th so it must be a good day for marriage.

A Stitch in Time

One of the challenges this weekend for Stampin' Out Alzheimers was to stitch on a card somewhere. I do faux stitching from time to time but have never brought the paper over to my sewing machine, so I thought I'd give it a try.


It didn't end up being stitched as straight as I wanted so I just tried to go all wonky and crazy around the edge. I know the stamps are Stampin' Up, but I had stamped them long ago at a friend's house and I'm not sure what set it was. The sentiment is hard to read. It says: A friend is someone who makes it easy. Happy Monday!!
