New computer!

So I have been without a computer for a while and I didn't want to take the time to figure out how to post on here with my tablet.  After I have this new computer figured I hope to get back to blogging!  I have some cards to show!

See you soon!  (I hope)

My card is a Fab Fave!

My card shown here was chosen as Fab Fave!  Very happy!  A big thanks to all of the designers at Fab Friday!

Happy Independence Day!

This lovely card to celebrate the 4th of July was designed by one of my card groups.  I pretty much gave them the run of my studio and this is what they came up with.  I think they did a very good job!

Fab Friday #67

Fab Friday has a color challenge for this week.....using all the new In Colors!  I stamped the butterflies using Papillon Potpourri and punched them out.  I think they look beautiful on the brick background created with our new 6 x 6 embossing folder.  Sentiment comes from Tin of Cards stamp set.

A new era begins!

I am unofficially retired as of 1:30 pm June 1.  Official date is June 30, but today was the last day I work.  30 years!

Now more time to make cards and scrapbook.  Hoping to do some challenges now that I will have more time.

One of the students asked me what I was going to do with all my free time.  My answer......Whatever I want to do!

I am so excited!

Almost There!

MDSM 110

I haven't participated in the MDS Monday sketch for a while.  Thought it was time!  My favorite subject (my granddaughter!) is shown here very intently removing the straw paper bit by little bit!  She is so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Monday 101 Put It on a Tilt

"Put it on a tilt" is the challenge for this week's sketch from MDS Monday.  I like to group items together on my layouts so this was a fun challenge for me.  It was another fun day with my granddaughter and her mom and dad.

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Monday 100

It is hard to believe that MDS Monday has reached the 100 mark!  I chose #41 for my sketch.  I wanted several photo boxes.  I have to admit the pics aren't all that great.  Getting really hard to get good pics of this little girl.  She is constantly moving and then when she does pose, she throws her head back and gives a silly smile!  Gotta love her!

MDSM96 - Chalkboard

The challenge at MDS Monday was to make a chalkboard page.  Sounded like fun to me so I gave it a shot.  I love the pics of my granddaughter opening up her presents.  They are very colorful so the blackboard background goes well with them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year! & MDS Monday 95

It has been a long time since I have participated in a challenge.  But I only have 5 more months until retirement from my job at school.  So excited to be entering a new phase of my life.  One thing I plan to do is put more effort in my card making and Stampin' Up.  And I want to do more challenges!

I had a little time last night while waiting for the ball to drop and created a page for MDS Monday 95.

My granddaughter had a lot of fun opening her gifts this year!  She just turned 2 a few days earlier and so had lots of practice.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I wish you all a very blessed 2015!
