Kitty Cait


A while back I made this card for a sweet young lady who really likes cats, and is a very colorful person. I used Color Box Lime ink, Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares die, Authentique “Bundle” 6 x 6 pad, Clear Boarders stamp, and Inkadinkado “Patterned Pets.” Such a fun card to make.

Project life ~ Week Five



Spent some time with my mom this week, we went antiquing and had a wonderful lunch at a little place called Aroma’s! Best baked potato with cheese and bacon ever! Logan spent the weekend with us and we had a great time with him and the babies. Our little ones are moving to Ohio so it was a little sad. On an up note, I actually have done our Project Life for a whole month!

I used Heidi Grace Designs’ “Dreamer,” Unity’s “Love Runs Deep,” Lawn Fawn’s “Smitty’s ABCs,” (I love Lawn Fawn) and Stampendous’ “Tiny Alphabet.” And of course PL products.

Happy Valentine's Day


Since my better half follows my blog I couldn’t put this card up till now. Sweet and simple, just American Art Stamp’s “Balloons Over NY” colored with Scholar colored pencils, Gelly Roll “Black Sparkle” and “Clear Star.” It was then cut out and matted with Spellbinders Nestabilities’ “Labels Nine.” Hope your Valentine’s Day was beautiful and filled with love.

Miss You



Another card for my son. This one is based on the monster, Snortermer, that lived under his bed when he was young. When I was a kid I was afraid of the dark, so I had a friendly monster who lived under my bed to protect me. When my son was little I gave Snortermer to him to keep him safe. Hopefully he will pass him on to his child one day. Anyway, I hope this card reminds him of happy times…and Snortermer.

I used October Afternoon’s “Night Light” stamps for Snortermer and Fiskars’ “All Year Greetings” for the inside. I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities’ “Small Deckled Rectangles” and Broken China Distress Ink. However my favorite thing I used was the Whirly Girls’ “Wind Blown” paper that I used for the “monster.” I don’t think you can find Whirly Girls anymore, but I sure am glad I bought a lot of it when you could.

Project Life ~ Week Four



We took a lot of pictures with Logan and Dana this week. We had a fantastic time with them, love our kids. We also learned a crazy new game, not for the weak. We had a great weekend this week.
This week I only used two stamp sets this week, Recollections' "Splat" and Cloud 9 Design's "Dog."

Project Life ~ Week Three



How exciting, we never get snow so almost all our pictures are of snow this week! We also had a wonderful “date” day that couldn’t have been better. And the sweetest thing this week was a text from Logan. Really great week! I used Technique Tuesday’s “Avalon Capital Letter Large” and “O Christmas Tree.”

Project Life ~ Week Two



Week two was not that exciting and I’m afraid my pictures show that. I was sick most of the week so many of my pictures were “living room” pictures. However, at least I took some and I’m still doing PL so that’s ok. This week I used PL products, some Luxe Designs papers, and some Lily Bee Design “abc stickers.” I can’t get over how simple it is to keep up with each week.
