Get Better Lindsey!!!

My dear sweet friend Lindsey is having surgery as I type.  She's having a lump removed from her leg.  I made this card for her to brighten her day=) 

For my sketch I used this weeks MFTWSC54.  I started out stamping PI Better Get Better in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I used Smooch on the Teddy's bandages and Glaze Pen on her shoes, heart, and pole.  I didn't have a diecut pole thingie as in the sketch so I made my own using Banner Day Die and a thin strip of cardstock, stamping the sentiment from PI Better Get Better on the banner.  Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade, Summer Sun, October Afternoon Paper, CB Folder, SU Victoria Ribbon, Denami Design Button, and SU Linen Thread.

Blogger was back to working normal today!  It went back to looking like it's old normal self and I was able to upload pictures without the help of my hubs, yay! 



Thank-you so much for stopping by!  I hope ya'll have a great day!

Me and Lindsey last Saturday night.  We got together with our book club for a girls night out.

Cause for Celebration...

Sigh...oh my heck it's taken me forevah to try to make this blog post=(  I'm so not computer savvy and blogger decided to change things on me, eeek!  Luckily my hubs came to my rescue.  So here I am over 2 hours later finally getting this post made, double sigh, lol.

I did want to share my happy news with ya'll...well to toot my own horn I guess.  I was selected as one of Card Patterns Super 6 for this card.  I didn't win, but it still made my day=) 

Anyhow, this is my for MIL's birthday, her birthday is in the morning.

I stamped PI Cause for Celebration in Memento Ink, on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I stamped her dress and paper pieced it.  Then stamped her ribbon, colored it with copics and paper pieced it as well.  I added a glaze pen to her shoes.  I made the tag using the SU Photo Corner Punch.  Lucky Limeade, Going Gray, Cherry Cobbler and EP Victoria Gardens paper.  Nesties.  I'm also entering my card into the EP FB Color Inspiration Challenge.  The colors are, Black, Gray, Red, Pink, and Green. 

I hope ya'll have a great Wednesday.  I'll be getting my carpets and couches cleaned, yay! (and stamping of course)... 

Congratulations and Farewell MSgt Rodriguez...

Earlier this week I went to an Awards, Promotion, and Going Away Ceremony for one of my hubs co-workers.  She's going remote to Korea for a year.  It's not normal to have 3 ceremonies in one, but that's how the day went=)

I started off making my pinwheel from My Mind's Eye American Made, with a Denami Design Button in the middle.  I wrapped ribbon around foil to make the stick.  Finishing it off with a navy bow.  I made my tag using the SU Photo Corner Punch, sentiment from Service & Sacrifice and a Denami Design Button.  Night of Navy, Riding Hood Red and Neenah Cardstock.  CB Folder.

The goodies from my SFYTT Win have started to arrive so I'm going to spend the rest of the weekend playing with them=)  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Quick and Simple Christmas Gift...

I put these together in record time to give out to my neighbors for Christmas this year.  Sadly, I didn't even do any stamping with them like I intended to=(  Ah well.  You may remember I did a similiar treat jar as a door prize for my spouse's group back in November.  My hubs was kind enough to pick up 10 1lb bags of peppermint kisses for me to make these and I still have 3 lbs left, sigh...I think I'm going to put the peppermint cheesecake recipe on the bag to use!  Anyhow, like I said, these are super quick and simple to make.  All you need is a quart size mason jar, goodies to fill the jar, a votive cup, votive candle, and ribbon.

Thank-you so much for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!

A Christmas Thank-you...

I made a few of these Thank-you cards to send to a couple people who put on my hubs Squadron's Children's Christmas Paty a couple of weeks ago.  Jessica, our spouse's group President always does a good job at planning everything and putting it all together.  Her husband was our Santa this year.  I wanted to let them know how much their time was appreciated=)  I also sent one to Santa's Elf.  He (Sgt. Manso) was such a good sport by dressing up in the little Elf costume, complete with tights and all=)  It was a fun evening for all, I think the kids had just as much fun as the adults did=)

This is for SCCC5, Christmas Thank-you's. I started off stamping the snowflakes from SU on Neenah with Memento Ink, then filled in with smaller snowflakes with Versamagic Sea Breeze.  Denami Design Iridescent Auquamarine and Black cardstock.  Tiffany Blue Ribbon from Michael's and sentiment from Silhouette Sentiments.

Below are some pictures from my hubs Squadron's Christmas Party...

For my card I used Card Patterns 146.  I stamped Diplomabella in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I used Stickles and Smooch to embellish the flowers, cap, tassel, and diploma.  Then fussy cut her out and put her on pop dots.  Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Black, and BG Origins Paper.  Nesties, SU Photo Corner Punch, Buttons, and Twine.  Sentiment from Stamping Bella.

On a side note...see my post below...I won the Christmas Day Give Away challenge!!!  I couldn't believe it!  I screamed and ran through the house like a mad woman doing the happy dance when I saw my name!  I was shocked!  Thank-you so very much to Jen and also the sponsors!!!
