For your Inpiration

Brandy comes home tomorrow!!!!!! Yeah! Can't wait - haven't seen my baby girl since December and after being joined at the hip for 20 years it's a long time apart! We are leaving Friday morning for a few days at the beach. Of course this involved taking her and two girls and my son and two friends so full house!
Please come join us over at For Your Inspiration for the semi-monthly challenge. This photo is awesome inspiration for color lovers like me. I immediately thought of rainbows although it seems that most of the other design team members thought of balloons.Please welcome some new members to our Design Team - their inspiration is awesome! And when I thought of rainbows I also thought of this cute Unity stamp I have with the little girl in the raincoat. The papers of course are all Core'dinations - I embossed the background and cut the rainbow. Sentiment is on an October Afternoon tag.


Thanks for stopping by. Stop by tomorrow to catch some of the pages I've done with the new Tersa Collins Core'dinations papers or check out the blog for inspiration from all the Design team.

Sunday Cards

It's been awhile since I got to just play with sketches but took time this weekend to do it. Had a wonderful leisurely birthday lunch with my hubby on Friday, Saturday went to the company picnic and today I painted the baseboards, trim and doors in my bathroom - it's DONE! Moving on to the next item on the list. Getting this place ready to put on the market.
But today I have cards to share - all papers are from Noel Mignon kits except Core'dinations Cardstock. The first card is for the CPS sketch this week and I used a new stamp I just got. Going to have to get back with you on who made it. I'm blank.




The next card is for the sketch over at Sweet Sunday. I saw this image on a card this weekend and had to have it - it's from Wee Stamps.

I made many more but all for DT 's and not ready to share quite yet. Thanks for stopping by!

Saturday Morning!

Hope everyone had a great week. Took yesterday off for my birthday - all the kids called which was great and my hubby and I went out for a late lunch. Good think I've never been really superstitious about Friday the 13th!
First off I have my card for this week for Unscripted Sketches. I used some Core'dinations cardstock and some papers from lily bee designs. The stamp is from Paper Smooches and the background stamp is from Unity.

Next is my page this week for the color combo at Color Combo Galore. Worked perfectly with these adorable pictures of my granddaughter's, Makenna (youngest) and Madison. The entire page is done in Core'dinations papers - white wash collection and core. I used a white wash page for the background and then scored it and sanded it to create a frame. Then I used some of the tourquise white wash and embossed and sanded it for the sheets behind the pictures. Then I punched and layered the purple cardstock and sanded it a little too. The stamps along the bottom of the page are all Unity.
Thanks for stopping by! Your sweet words mean alot!

Unscripted Sketches and a BIG ANNOUNCMENT!

Wow this week was a LONG one. I have been stressing out for about 6 weeks now waiting for the announcement of the Core'dinations new Design Team. I have been with this wonderful team for two years now and love Core'dination's papers more every day. I have found so many wonderful ways to use this paper and to improve my scrapping with them. They announced this morning and I will continue on with this for another year! YEAH!!!! To see all the new team please check out over at Core'dinations blog!
So in light of that I think it's only appropriate that my card this week reflects some Core'dinations papers!

I used some of the White Wash collection on this - embossed it with a Tim Holtz folder and then sanded it. Then used some Core - punched my waves and layered them using Helmar adhesive and then lightly sanded those. The adorable stamps are from Kim Hughes.


Then as I told you last week we had a visit to my oldest daughter's the other weeked and here's a few more pictures of some of my adorable grandkids. This is the twin to Makenna who I showed you last week - Matthew.
We were lucky enough to get to be there when Jesse was home - he's military and is still stationed in Arizonia and travels on almost continuous TDYs. This is from the top - Madison, Morgan and Jesse.
Then one more shot of my adorable granddaughter, Madison.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!

Sunday Sharing

Fabulous weekend!!! Charlie and I drove up to my daughter, Kim's for the weekend. He had a dental appointment in Arlington and so Kim and I spent the day driving all over Lake Leon looking at houses and property. Charlie and I are planning to move up there eventually so wanted to see what's available. Found sound FABULOUS homes that were way more than we want to spend but were awesome to drool over. Spent out evenings playing 42 and got to see little Makenna play softball ( 8-9 year old girls) - oh man fun and they are really good! Then we got to see Mitchell play baseball on Saturday - they lost but he did awesome of course! Then we got to be there for the twin 's 9th birthday. We had cake and ice cream Saturday night! Overall a fabulous weekend. Got to jog and walk around their property and the countryside every day.

This week I have my card from Unscripted Sketches for you. I used some Core'dinations cardstock, a Martha Stewart punch, a Smooches stamp and some pp from a Noel kit.



Then here are a couple of cards I did this week for Designed 2 Delight. First one of Faith's newest fairy images using some My Mind's Eye papers and this also happened to be Makennas birthday card. Then the second with one of Faith's recent images which I just happen to totally love - makes a great guy card! Used some Daisy Bucket for this one.
Then Kim shared some pictures she's recently taken of the kids - I have two CDs full of fabulous pictures that I just can't wait to scrap. These are my granddaughters, Makenna and Madison.

Thanks for stopping by!
