Tuesday

Just a couple of quick posts. Brandy came up and talked me (didn't take much!) into taking her to lunch today so nice change of pace. Not many days left - she leaves in 10 days!
Here's my card for the Taylored Expressions sketch this week. Used some of the Core'dinations Gemstones on this and a sweet Stampabilities stamp.



Then over at Designed 2 Delight this week Faith has this adorable little bear. Used some My Mind's Eye for this.

Thanks for looking!

Sunday

Not alot to share today - have been working on DT work so that I will be caught up when I have to leave town to help Brandy get settled in California (EEK!) Can't believe she's really going but she wants to see if she can make it in the dance world and if determination has anything to do with it she ought to be a major force to be met with! So here's what I have to share for today. First a card for the Card Patterns sketch this week - also in working on getting my Christmas cards done. Everything from a Noel Mignon kit.



Next a page I did for the Color Combo Galore inspiration this week. The cardstock is Core-dinations - love this line - papers from a Noel Mignon kit.Thanks for stopping by!

YEAH! it's Saturday again!

Well after having lived under the threat of flooding all week - it's back to sunny and hot! Had one night I worked extra charging in the ICU until 7 pm and got a call from home saying - We have a problem! The road is under water! We live in a subdivision near the river that some idiot built that only has one road in to about 3-4 subdivisions and it's built along the bottom of a dry creek bed so if you get too much water at one time - we flood until it stops and it has time to go down. So I met Brandy and bought her dinner and didn't get to get home until I finally braved it and drove over the water (down to less than a foot and I watched several go across first) and got home about 9:30 only to get up again at 4 am and go back!
But here's my DT cards this week! The first is from Unscripted Sketches. I used some Dream Street papers and a new Lilly of the Valley stamp for this one. Isn't he cute?



Then my next card is for The Sweet Stop. This week I used some Webster's Pages papers and one of The Sweet and Sassy digital images.

Then I finally finished my page for the Color Combo Galore's challenge this week. This is my granddaughter, MaKenna, out at the lake last Sunday. Kim (her mom) has her well trained for smiling on cue! Cardstock is Core'dinations and all items come from a Noel Mignon kit.


Thanks for stopping by - will have more over the weekend!

CPS

Well rainy days and Tuesday's this week - man did we get rain! It's still raining out there. Actually came home a little early because the idiot that planned this subdivision (well actually about 5 of them) built it and the road follows a normally dry creek bed. UNTIL we get flooding and then the road floods - one way in and one way out. In the 11 years we have been out here it's flooded us in or out about 3-4 times. I'm hoping it goes down before the morning. So of course being home I scrapped! Here's my card for the CPS sketch - had this in my head when I saw the sketch and actually sketched it out at Kim's so I wouldn't forget. Core'dinations cardstock, Tim Holtz embossing folder, a Fancy Pants chipboard and Tim Holtz leaves and used some metallic rub-ons on them and then added some little birdhouses from American Crafts papers.

Labor Day!

Hope everyone had a great, fun but safe weekend. We did!
Posting late this weekend but have been at Kim's (oldest daughter) with Jason (son) to see Kim and the grandkids. Had a fabulous time - went to the lake yesterday and have so many pictures to share! LOVED it! Here's some cards to share for Design Team work this week.
First off I have my card for The Sweet Stop. For this I used a cute Santa image together with papers from a Noel Mignon kit.
The second card I have is for Unscripted Sketches this week. For this I pulled out the Core'dinations and some embellishments from the Noel Mignon kit.
Next I have my card for the Card Patterns Sketch this week. I know it's a stretch for the sketch for it inspired me to make this Core'dinations card using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a Tim Holtz embossing folder that have become one of my favorites! Add a little Jillibean tag and a rub-on and it's done.
Now for a few pictures from yesterday at Cisco Lake. We had several hams (won't show all but here are some favorites. First is my son, Jason, isn't he cute - then doing the dare devil act. This is one of about 20 I got of crazy leaps from the dock.
Then one of all the grandkids together.

Then starting with the youngest - here's Matthew! He's 8 and going to be a true ham !
Then his twin MaKenna - sweetie girl!
Then Mitchell - the shy one who refused to pose! Caught him anyway - he's Kim's little mirror image!
My Madison - 13 now and quickly becoming a knockout teenager.
And then my oldest, Morgan, ever confident enough to be the biggest ham of the group!
Thanks for stopping in - sorry so late this weekend!

Core'diantions and Queen & Co.

This entire week Core'dinations is revealing cards and layouts created by the Design Team with all the goodies we have been given to use from Queen & Co. There embellishments are fabulous and work with almost every card and page. I find myself reaching for something on almost everything I do. Here are a couple of pages that I have done with Core'dinations cardstock together with some of the products from Queen & Co. On this first one I have used some of their felt and pearls to create a border down my page.



On this page I have used some their felt flowers, buttons and pearls to add to my page. Can you also see behind my pictures the fabulous new embossing folder I got from Tim Holtz. Love this folder and of course sanding the core'dinations cardstock gives it so much more pop. Then along the bottom of the page I cut up some of the felt and stuck them on separately instead of as a border, adding some pearls for bubbles.Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Sharing

Doing the marathon of laundry - I don't know how my kids can go through so many clothes in a week. With Brandy home for awhile it's like we have 50 people living here! But here I've got a couple of cards and a page to share. First is for this week's sketch over at Card Patterns. I've used some Core'dinations cardstock and papers and embellisments from Noel Mignon kit together with one oh my new stamps from Lilly of the Valley.


Then for the CPS sketch this week I decided to play with some Core'dinations cardstock. This is from the Jenni Bowlin collection. The rub-ons are from Pink Paisley and the punch is from Martha Stewart, button from Jillibean Soup.This card is for the image this week from Designed 2 Delight. I used some Dream Street papers here.

Here's one of my Christmas cards I'm working on (have somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 to do. I'm working my way through last year's Noel Mignon Christmas kit. They are so huge I'm sure I'll have plenty of paper to get all the cards done. The image is from Sweet and Sassy digital stamps. I think he's just the cutest!
Then this week over at Color Combo I made this page with more Noel Mignon kit goodies. This is my beautiful granddaughter, Madison again here.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back tomorrow morning for me to show you a couple of pages I did for Queen & Co. and Core'dinations!
