Mr. & Mrs.

Yesterday Mom asked me if I had the Wedding cards started / finished yet..... Don't need them till October but she wants to be ready....

So when I got home I got cracking...

Here's my first attempt, not bad if I say so myself. Another first for me is making a finished 5 x 7 card too. I tried a few times in the past but there just was to much room for me. But with this card it seam to come together.

For the card base I used Canson Watercolor paper it comes in several size pads this one measures 11 x 15. So I cut it 5 x 14 and scored at 7, perfect. 

Tip: When I went to cut the 15 inch side I just lined up my 5 inch mark on my Guillotine cutter and cut about 3/4 of the way down then turned it around and pushed the cut side up against the cutting edge and lined up the top at 5 and got a perfect cut !! Then cut and inch off the bottom and had my 5 x 14, YEA!!

The Mr. & Mrs. is from Flourishes popped up on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag-3.  Now the set of Wedding rings was from a really old CM set called Wedding Glimpses Done with one and I popped that up too.

I layered the back ground with black first then some Beautiful Pearls paper called Core'dinations this one is Tan Pearl and got it from JoAnns.  This paper comes in beautiful pale colors of pink, blue, and a pure white, can't remember the others but they are all beautiful and know I'll be getting more.

Here's a close up, I was hoping the pearl paper would show but I don't think it is, believe me it's beautiful!

OK, now for the inside, the border was from the same CM Wedding Glimpses Done with one pack and I layered it with some paper I used on the front to tie it in.  The Beautiful Stamps are by Flourishes and the corner is a die by Marianne.  These Marinne dies are so fine and beautiful, I love them all. 

Will that's it for me today. Please let me know what you think, I'm always learning and welcome any suggestions!!

(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)

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

First I'd like to thank you for stopping by my place and visiting! I so enjoy reading your comments and encouragement too!

Will here's mine for today;

FIRST thing this morning while it was still dark out.... I was putting the coffee on and I heard this Splush!! noise from the pool.... then little splush, splush, splush's... I ran to the door and there was Belle Doggie Paddling for her life it the FAR end of the pool...

I ran out to the edge were she was in my nightie and called her and just reached her and gave her a little boost up an out.... she ran outside to the Grass and started rolling..... And I had just taking her to get a bath and all that yesterday.... So I went and got her drying towels and she came running and laied right down so good while I dried her off then went and got the second towel to finish her up....

Here's a shot of her after she was mostly dry in the craft room playing in her towel. 

So Cute right!!!!

 And a second shot of the same...

Now you may ask... how did she fall in... will she is not a big fan of the pool... if she can't touch she won't go any feather.. so the top step is her limit...

But this morning is was still a little dark at 6:30am and it had really rained hard last night so we had little frogs out... and she scared up 3 or 4 at once and one must have went for the pool and will the rest is history.....

She is being much more careful with her Frogs now let me tell you......

After all the Dog rescue and the drying and all that I finally finished making the coffee...

Boy was that first cup the best cup of coffee this morning!!!

Do No Disturb - Birthday!

Today I'm showing a FUN Birthday card I made for my Step-Son 29th BD....

Both boys ALWAYS get us Fun or prank cards all  the time, it's hard to out do them, but I think I may have with this one...

I'm using a set I got a few years ago from Flippin I call "Do not Disturb" these are such FUN stamps and they all have the front and back of the same guy doing different things... but they all have him with a Mug of Beer in each. 

Here's a closer look of the stamp and the mug of beer, you can tell I used something puffy on the foam and also just glossy affects on the mug.... colored him in and then fussy cut him out.. The sigh came with the set too.

Here the view of how I stamped the back side on the inside of the card with another sign that came with the set as well as the TP paper rolls border... I also stamped the back side on the envelop too.

Here's a closer look of the inside saying... just perfect and then I wrote something like

" Hope you always have a Full roll of TP"

or something like that...

He LOVED it!!!

Yea! the Step Mom score one!!!!!

I know this is not a card you can give just anyone..... but if you have just the right person it's a winner for sure!

Revolving Bins

Hi all WOYWW'rs!!

(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)

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

Thanks Julie!!!!!!

I havent posted for some time now but thought I would share this new Revolving bin thing I got last week...

My hubby went to Harbor Fraight to get power tool Stuff... and I was with him and saw this thingie...

Yep they had one all put together and I know I was not leaving without one... I did have hubby check it out for me to make sure it was not a pice of poop, but he knew I would not be putting nuts and bolts in it so it should be OK....

Here's a few shots of all the parts... and let me tell you there were alot of parts.... And I put the whole thing together all by myself too... :)

Here's my first bin put together with the dividers all screwed into place... 2 bins have 3 dividers and 2 bins have 6 dividers.....

Ok....

Now for the finished product and some before and after shots too....

This is the before left side of desk....

And here's the after left side of desk.... I'll be putting my acrilic blocks (that are in the purple bag) in the bottom bin too as soon as I get some rubber stuff for the bottom so they don't get to scrached up.  But so far I like it...

 Here's the right side before...

And then after, really not much change here.....

Sorry it's so Loooong....today... just making up for not posting for so long...

I'll make it short next week, promise!

Wedding Shower 2

Hi Again!!

Will Here's the Second card I was talking about in my previous post.....

I kind of made this one a CAS card in that the only thing popped up is the tag.. I used brown Card stock for the base card and then a pretty pattern paper I had a piece left from something.... then I used my MS border punch and put some green ribbon behind it.  I use a Flourishes stamp from the Happily Ever After set on the front.

Here's a close up of the Fancy Tag-2 set I used and put some Smooch-Gold Lame on the edges, and the MS-Garden Trellis border punch with the green ribbon behind it.

and here's the inside with the same border and a small piece of the same background paper behind it....

The saying is from MFT-Dearly Sentimental about Chocolate set.

Will that's it... let me know which one you like the best... My Mom already picked the Black & White one, so I'm going to use this one... I told her I'll leave them both with her till tomorrow in case she changes her mind,,,again... which she already did a few times... TeHe!!
