Thanks Mary!!!

This past week Mary from the Glitter Grammy sent me a supprise! 

She gifted me with this award... Oh My was I really Supprised too!!

I had not posted anything for almost a month and then the first time I do Mary gave me this lovely supprise, Wow! is all I can say!!

There are some rules with reciveing this award and sharing the love too.

Here are the rules:

The idea of the Leibster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. So, in the spirit of good fun I am passing this award on to five other bloggers. Please stop by and visit them.
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.

3. Post the award on your blog.

4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.

5. Finally and the best rule of all..........have fun and spread the love!

Black, White & Red!

Hi Everyone!!

Will I'm doing something NEW for me.....

I'm going to participate in a "Challenge"!!

Yep! Many of you have asked why I don't do this and the answer is...

Will I never felt like I could stand up to the competition.  No I'm not getting any more sure of myself, but I keep getting gentle nudges so I though I would try this one...

The site Going Buggy is doing the challenge....

and here is my Card;
I know this pic dose not show up the white very good but it is white honest!

Here you can see how it opens and the inside is left blank for your notes.

this is a view of the gift set with the box and all, I stamped the envelops too on the front and back just to add a little interest. 

Will wish me luck!!!!

Here's the things I used;

• Close to my Heart stamps/Baroque Alphabet E-1006
• Memento Texedo Black ink
•  Ribbon; Celebrate It-5/8" RED
• Paper used; Creative Memories-Black, SU-White, Misc-print, for the box I used a File Folder from Michaels-Dossiers
• Finished Card Size; 4.25" x 5.5"

Here's a look back at "2011"

I got this idea from a blog friend of mine (Thanks Glenda) that posted several of her cards from 2011 and thought it would be fun to do the same.

So this is what I decided to do.... pick one post from each month so that would be 12 things....

Here's my top 12 picks from "2011"

January, can you guess what this was for???

February I created this borders folder to take with me shopping and to help me pick what I wanted to used on my projects too.

March I needed to make some Sympathy cards, this was one I picked....

April I was moving my craft room.... what a mess I had.... to be honest, I'm still moving stuff around!

May, this is the card I made for Mom for Mother's day!

June, just got some stamps by Mo and was having a ball coloring and using them....

July, Cards we did for the 1st Card Class I had with a friend of mine....

August, Tea Box's...need I say more.  I went wild making these...!!!

September I got some Rubbernecker stamps... I just love them and really enjoyed making these.

October I was going thru my stamps that I had never used and found my Flippin' stamps... OMG what fun are these... you get the front and the back view of each one....

November I was frantically working on my Christmas cards... and cards from Mom and Dad too... How did I ever get it all done I have no idea.....!

December I need a breather from all the Christmas STUFF... and really enjoyed making this cutie!

Will that's it for "2011". 

Thanks for taking a walk down memory lain with me!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Fishin'

Hi Everyone!!

Will this year is winding down... and yesterday I just wanted to do something NOT Christmasie... I am differently Red and Greened out......

I had order this Penny Black stamp called Gone Fishin' back in November but with all the Stuff coming up had no time to play... so here it is....

 This stamp was all one piece but after stamping it and coloring I decided to cut it into 3 pieces... on the stamp it had each little shell tied together so I though I'll just cut them apart and tie them together....

Here you can see the little ties I did.....

I didn't do the inside yet thought I could use this for a get well or birthday so will wait to see what I decide.....

Here's the things I used;

• Penny Black  stamp / Gone fishin'
• The words; Fishin' and the livin' is easy... I did on my computer and then cut it out 
• Memento Rich Cocoa ink
• Stampin'Up Watercolor Crayons for all the coloring (with an extra small Aqua Pen)
• Paper used; Watercolor paper and brown Creative Memories
• Finished Card Size 3.5 x 6 1/4"

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

December Birthdays!

I know it's been a while since I've posted but time has just gotten away from me....

Can't believe I have time today to do this but here I am....

This was our sons Birthday card from earlier this month...

He loves to fish so this was right up his alley.

Had this CTMH stamp set that I got a few years back and had never used... will this was just the ticket for this card.  I used some wire I had from something and wound it around from the pole to the fish...

Here's a better look at how I did the wire.....

And this is the inside... can you tell he already had received this.....?

I left the border open across the top so we could put a gift card in there for him...

He loved it... will he loved the gift card anyway...!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
