Sneak Peek!

A quick card using new items available to purchase on June 1.











Edited!  This was sent via my phone.  I will edit this photo and exchange it.  Can't believe it looks like this.  My pics are usually a whole lot better than that.

Edited again.  Same photo unedited but taken from my dropbox folder instead of sent by phone.  Won't be sending many posts through my phone unless I can figure out how to make it look better!  Any ideas, anyone????

Thanks for stopping by!

Graduation Card

I made this CAS card for one of library aides who is graduating.  I'm sure she doesn't even know I have a blog so she won't see this before I give it to her this week.  I used our school colors and the sentiment from Word Play.  The cap is from Go Graduate.  I hope she likes it!

SUStars April Blog Hop-Spring!

Hi and welcome to the SUStars April blog hop.  It's all about Spring!

This is the second stop on the hop.  You may have reached my blog from Deborah's Thoughts of a Grasshopper.  But if you began here and would like to check out all the blogs you can find a list here.

I had planned on getting some actual paper projects made this week, but that didn't happen.  No surprise there!  I do have some new MDS projects from this Spring to share.

My first project is from Easter.  We didn't do much that day, but did meet up with our daughter and son-in-law for dinner.  I used some new downloads on this page.

This next page shows our little guy who loves to go outside.  This photo shows him looking out the window and wishing!

We did get a weekend trip in this past March.  We went to visit my brother and his family who live near Chicago.  On a very warm Sunday morning, we took a walking trip in the city after riding the train in.  I would love to have a lot more time to spend in Chicago.  It is a wonderful city.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog.  The next step on the hop is Robin's Craft Room.  Happy hopping!

Patterned Party

I made this card earlier this week and used a couple of challenges.  But I didn't get it uploaded soon enough for either of the challenges.  I have to say that I was rather pleased with this CAS card.  The images are from the Patterned Party stamp set.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Happy Easter!

These are the cards I sent to my daughters and their husbands.  They really seemed to like them.

Paper Players Sketch #88 & CCMC195

On today's card I used a sketch from the Paper Players and a color combo from Create with Connie & Mary.  My neighbor needed a birthday card for a man and I thought these colors and the sketch both went well with the eagle from In Wilderness.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The dsp and ribbon are retired.  One thing I wish I could change would be to have the knot on the other side to balance out the poppy sentiment piece.  But I don't want that change enough to try to take the card apart!

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made #28

I had a little timne to stamp today!  I've been wanting to do a challenge for a while and just hadn't gotten it done.  I chose this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  I really hate to see this Everyday Enchantment dsp go in just a few days.  And next month this stamp set,  Send Me Soaring, from the Occasions mini will also be gone.   I love these kites!  

Thanks for stopping by!
