Miss You Dad...

With Blogger down I wasn't able to post this here yesterday but I did share it on fb, not something I usually do since not all of my friends on there are crafters.  Anyhow, my Dad's 71st Birthday would've been yesterday.  I made this card in memory of him.  He liked Tinkerbell and Pink.  Now how do you go about keeping a card "manly" when it's made using Tinkerbella and Pink???  I tried my best and just kept it simple.  The image was RAK'ed to me several years ago and I'm sad to say this was my last image...I guess I'll have to buy the stamp now!  I colored her with Copics and highlighted her with Smooch.  Certainly Celery, Garden Green, Whisper White, Denami Design Hot Pink, and BG Sultry Paper.  Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Die, SU Punch, CB Folder, Denami Design Buttons, and SU Ribbon.  For my layout I used this weeks MOJO190.

This card is going off to my Momma when she saw it on fb she asked if she could have it or a copy of one just like it. I said yes, of course...=)  

Thank-you for stopping by!   

Prayers...For You...

The "should have beens" and the reality of this past weekend just breaks my heart.  My friend was getting ready to celebrate her first child's 1st birthday over the weekend.  She sent us a reminder email on Tuesday, on Wednesday she had to cancel the party.  She was admitted into the hospital Thursday, her baby girl turned 1 on Friday.  Saturday she started chemo for Acute Leukemia, the day she was to celebrate her sweet baby girl's 1st birthday.  This was all unexpected to my friend, please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.               I'm entering my card into this weeks BLDC15 and MOJO189 challenges.  I used Momento Ink, Copics, Neenah, Cameo Coral, Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip, and Garden Party Cardstock.  Nesties, Die-namics, Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die, SU Silver Cord.  The sentiment is from Verve Stamps So Happy Set.

Thank-you for stopping by. 

 

Happy Birthday to Me...

Welcome to my blog and my first post!  Today is my birthday and this is what I wanted for my birthday, a blog.  My hubs named it for me and helped me set it up since I am not so good with computers, ha!  I hope he's patient with me and that I'm quick to learn this stuff.
Anyhow, on to the whole reason for my blog...stamping and card making. 
I made this card for the Bellarific Friday Challenge which was to do paper piecing on your card.  I stamped Cuppacakeabella and the sentiment on Neenah paper with Momento ink and colored her in with my Copics.  Liquid applique and glamour dust for the frosting, topped with a stickles cherry and crystal lacquer.  I used MOJO 149 for my layout.
Hope ya'll enjoyed your Sunday.  Hubs took me out for breakfast this morning and a day of shopping for my birthday.
