Pet Parade

I made this card for the OCC Pet Parade. You have to check out the adorable cards the DT made this week!

RED, WHITE & BLUE

Wowza this was the fastest card ever! I used an image that was laying on the top of ones I had been sorting and scraps of paper that were already laying on my desk, some colored pencils, old stickers and brads and eyelets that were out from the last crop I went to...TA DA...I'm done! That never happens. This is for the OCC challenge this week, which was to use red, white and blue! Happy 4th again...2 post in one day, don't get used to that! Ha, ha....

Fun with Images

About a year or more ago I entered several image swaps on SCS, and then never used any of them! So I decided to dig some out and see what I could come up with. The ink on the first card ran and smeared on his little face while I was coloring it :( , uh, oh, must of been water based ink. Oh, well it is still an adorable image, I have no idea what the name of or brand of stamps either of these are. Hope you have a great week. Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and Blessings,

My Favorite Colors

Wow, it has been awhile since I have made anything! My life has just been crazy, you know kids....no matter how old they get they can still drive you nuts-0! I think I have spent 90% of the last week just praying for patients and more patients and guidance and just a little patience!!! When your kids are little you think you want them to grow up and then when they are grown up you wish they were little again, ugh, anyone with me on that? Ok, enough whinning from me, on to the card. I used the I.C.S. for this card, and the

Pink Elephant Challenge for my inspiration for this card. My favorite color combo is pink, brown and white, I am such a girl! This is my first time with both of the challenges so I hope not to disappoint!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July. I know I am so blessed to have born in the United States, a very prosperous, free country!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the men and women in the Armed Forces and their family's, because of them we enjoy the freedom we have!

Sincerely,

Stacy

More For Father's Day

Two more Father's Day Cards. I can't wait to make something with ribbon and bows and glitter! Have a blessed week!

I did it again!

No ribbon (twine doesn't count) no glitter, no flowers!!! Yippee, another card for my Dad! My goal is to send him a card everyday this week, he does so much for me, one day to thank him just doesn't seem like enough. So I have 2 days down, we will see how it goes, wish me luck. I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for my card. You are going to get sick of this paper, but I am trying to use scraps only for my cards until I use some of them up (are you proud of me, Yvonne?). It was REALLY hard not to get out a new sheet of paper. Thanks for stopping by.

Color Throwdown Cards

I seem to have lost my mojo :( Has anyone seen it??

I tried to use this weeks Color Throwdown for some inspiration and this is all I could come up with. I really wanted to get a Father's day card done, so I made myself do one. It is almost painful NOT to add ribbon and flowers and stickels and all things girly!!!! My poor Dad usually ends up with a girly card anyway, not this year....just a plain, and I mean plain old guy card. He will love it, he always does, that is just the kinda guy he is. Well, ladies, my bff Yvonne had me over for lunch after church (this is normal, sometime I invite myself if she forgets, hee...hee) and I am stuffed and do believe a nap is in order! Have a blessed week!

Another Door Hanger

I debated posting this one, I don't really like it. But oh well, it will give you some idea of what not to do! I think I will give it to my sister, my "other" sister not you Y~ LOL!

Coffee Anyone?

Pretty simple card. The inside says "coffee and friends are the perfect blend". More yummy paper from My Minds Eye. Hope everyone had a fabulous Monday (is that possible, (sigh)?. Uhm, I wonder who I can send this card too??? (wink) Maybe my coffee buddy would like it, what do you think? I have another door hanger to show you, maybe tomorrow. So check back. Thanks for stopping by.

Door Hanger

First of all don't look at how dirty my house is!! I need to get out the power washer, that is on my "to do" list!! Hey, I gave the dogs a bath this morning so I figure that is enough work for one Saturday! LOL!

Anyway, on to the door hanger, (I cased it HERE) I saw this at Gayle's blog, Little Bird Design, and the first thing I thought of was "I have to make one for my parents!!!" Anytime you go to their house on a nice day they have a crude handwritten sign taped to their front door, telling you they are out back. So this is perfect for them. Mine is not anywhere near as cute as Gayle's. I plan on making some more, so hopefully mine will improve with practice. The first lesson I learned was to cut the circles out as you go!!! I of course waited until I had about a zillion layers of paper on top of my cardboard and THEN tried to cut it!!! Smart huh??? LOL

Hope you are having a great Saturday!!
Sincerely,

Stacy

SWEETSKUNKS

I found this stamp set that I had ordered from TAC a year ago maybe 2 (sometime before Dave Ramsey took over my budget wahhhh), and had never even opened it! GASP!!! I don't know why, it is so "stinkin" (cracking myself up) cute!! The black card stock and markers are CTMH and the pink paper is SU, the pearls and ribbon are from Michael's, so is the Martha Stewart border punch. I also used my Sakura stardust pen on the petals and ladybug. I just slightly altered the layout from the last post, so it probably looks kinda familiar!

I hope everyone is enjoying their extra day off!

Blessings and Hugs,

Stacy

Calming Down!

Hello Everyone!

I really didn't think I would have any stamping time before the wedding, however I am such a nervous wreck that I can't sleep. Creating has always been an outlet for me, a way to forget my worries and relax. So last night I found some wonderful inspiration from the
Stamp Something blog. You should hop over there and check out the DT cards. WOWZA! Makes me a little embarrassed to post mine.

Well, tomorrow is the BIG DAY, my dd's wedding! sniff sniff, choke.... you know I am going to need a lot of tissue, I will be crying like a baby! I will be back to post a pic of the most beautiful bride in the world :)

Have a blessed day!
