Gift Set "J"

Here's a Gift Set I made for a friend of my Mom & Dad's that comes and sits with my Dad while I take my Mom shopping each week.  She is so good with him, he's blind and had a stroke that left him with very little short term memory, so always needs someone to be with him. 

Here's the box for the card....

this is the inside.....

and here's the cards, all a little different and blank inside...

I am entering these in the "Just Us Girls #129" challenge.

Will that's it for today!!

(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)

Every Wednesday Julie Dunnit hosts a gathering of crafters of all kinds from everywhere to share what they are working on, by taking a pic of your play area. It's really fun to see all the different things people from all over the world are working on and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's sit. Thanks Julie!!!!

Will here's mine for today;

I very seldom post much about my family, but today I though it would be the perfect time to share our latest addition to our family!

"Belle"

This is the very first pic I have of her after my hubby picked her up..... Oh just look at those eyes!

Pic # 2... does this look like a dog that gets car sick??

Oh I hope not!!!!

Will here's the story;  back in February for my birthday my hubby asked me if I'd like to get another pooch??? it's been YEARS since my little weeny dog "Tosha" been gone... and then we had my Mother-in-Laws cats... but now all have been gone for several years...

My answer... YES :) :) :)

We had talked about a Beagle for some time now so the search was on. 

Wanted to get one from the Dog Pound, there's so many animals that need to be rescued...

So EVERY Friday we went to our neighboring Pounds ...

Then when my Hubby went up to Ga this last time he stopped by the Vet and there was a flayer about this cute little beagle Belle.  But she gets car sick.... Will it's a 6-hr drive to our place in Ga and we really don't like to drug up our animals.. so the man said we could give Belle a Test Drive over the weekend...so Don took her everywhere long trips, short trips, and no problems... So he went for it and we're hoping for the best on the trip home this week. 

Sorry this is ssssooooooooo long but I'm just excited I guess!!

That's it for me this week, hope you weren't bored.

But all in all this was a really FUN card for me....

I just love using Rubberneckers stamps, there always FUN!!!

Now that ribbon was a real fine from willlll, now that I'm thinking about it, I think it's been 3 or 4 years ago and don't think the store is open anymore.... bought it by the yard so don't have a name.. but it's just really cute!

I used GellyRoll clear star's on the wings and stinger, made it look sheer and sparkly too... but you can't see it in my dreadful pic...

and used black arond all the edges to make all the layers stand out.

Here's what I used;

• Card Size closed / 4.25 x 5.5
• Papers/ Creative Memories, SU, and DCWV- Linen Closet stack
• Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- Black to sponge with, and Bamboo on the inside, Memento-Tuxedo Black for the front image to color, and SU-Watercolor Crayons for my coloring.

Mom's Mother's Day Card

Hi Everyone!

I know I'm EARLY but want to show you the card I made my Mom for Mother's Day.

It's one of the Calenders I've been making but for hers I put in all the family dates and there's still plenty of room for her to add others too!

You know me I had to fancy up the front....

and here's a closer look.......

And the inside.... I did the hanger part a little different here. 

I left the calender part lose from the fold down so I could write a message under it...

Like the Springy look of this one, and know she will too!! (you know Mom's love everything we do)

If you liked what you see become a Follower either on Blogger or by Email.

I'd love to have you!!!

New Tab!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Today I made a New Tab at the top of my blog, named "Made in the USA".

In here I posted an Excel Document that you can click on to make BIG, but can't click on the links... :(

Sorry!!

Check it out, I found it very interesting as I worked my way thru these companies over the several months and was pleasantly surprised at times.  And other times not so much so....

But it's here for you to use as you like.

I plan on keeping it up to date as much as possible.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

It's really fun to see all the different things people from all over the world are working on and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's sit. Thanks Julie!!!!

Will here's mine for today;

I've been working on a few 6 x 6 cards, which is different for me... but needed the size for when this card is opened...You'll see in a min.

This one I used a paper that had Stamps on one side and a deep Red on the other...

 Here's a little closer view so you can see the layers........

And here's the inside.... !!!

Yes it's decorated to match... listed are all 12 months with 6 lines and space to jot down those special dates and names to remember.

There's a ribbon loop on the inside at the top for hanging!

I think this would be a great gift idea for someone special to keep track of all those Birthdays, Anniversaries, and important dates that seam to slip away on us.

Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas!

Will off I go to check out your blog now................

Summertime.... and the livin' is easy

Hi Everyone!!

Will I finished my box for the Summertime cards I made a few weeks ago....

Check this out!

 I love how it turned out...

I had to cut down my size some because these cards are 3.5 x 6 so everything need to be changed some, but it turned out nicely I think!

Here's a pic of it closed and tied with a bow.....

Here's one of 4 cards I had made... If you'd like to see the other 3 cards just go back a few week to see them all!

As Always,

Thanks for stopping by again!
