All Tied Up

Image: All Tied Up, By Heather Dennis, Fresh Brewed Designs

Hello!  I made this card as a "thank you" card for my parents. Heather's image was PERECT, I hope I didn't ruin it with my coloring and simple card.  I also hope everyone had a great weekend.  I thought I would share a little of mine with you.  We have had unusually warm weather here (until today, it is cold and rainey) So, I thought I would take advantage of it and for once get my Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving weekend.

My Dad obviously did not see the bright red sticker that says "WARNING DO NOT STAND ON THE TOP "  Yikes! I can't look!!! Notice his little helper at the bottom, I told her to hold the ladder while I took this picture. Good job Maggie!

Lilly helped untangle the lights.  Good job Lilly!!

Maggie tangled them up again.

Lilly gave up and took a nap.

Yep, she is eating grass! Yummy! She likes it! And her mommy didn't notice her ear was flipped back like that until she uploaded this picture!

Hmm, I don' think that gutter will hold him if he falls! I better put the camera down and hold the ladder!

As you will notice in the pic's my Dad has on short sleeves, yes it was that nice out on Saturday.  My parents spent the whole afternoon with me, my Dad hung my lights and cleaned my gutters, and my Mom put groceries away for me and cleaned the kitchen after super.  I supervised the hanging of the lights, from the ground, with my camera, my cell phone handy in case I needed to call 911!  I also made homemade chicken pot pie for super.  It was a wonderful day.  I am very blessed to have my parents so close and always so willing to help me.  I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
Stacy

Oh My Gosh, I am so sorry this post is so late!!! I have been having issues with either my computer or Blog Spot or both!!!

Any way...

Are these not the cutest snowmen you have ever seen??? Heather is having tons of fun things going on over at her blog for her image release for

Fresh Brewed Designs! You MUST go and get in on the fun!!!

I have to tell you when I first saw the "Stacy and Pets" image that Heather drew for me (an early Christmas present) I laughed until I cried, then I cried because she is so sweet!!! I can not believe she captured the personality of me and my babies ( Lilly (collie) Maggie (dachshund) and Sassy Cat) so well!!! It looks just like us, and yes I am round like that! LOL

I hope to be back later today with more. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Blessings,

Stacy

Trick or Treat?

I did this card for the ICS challenge and the Pink Elephant Challenge this week. It is the same image I used for the last post....but I don't have a lot of Halloween stuff....so, and I think she is cute. The pic is bad, but she has tons of glitter and looks much better in person, however it is late and I don't have any natural light. Thanks for stopping by!

Uhm...BOO!

Cute Daisy May is sponsoring two of my fave. challenges this week!

Friday Sketchers and Stamp Something. Sorry for the short post, but it is time for my medicine and a nap...*sniff*cough*sneeze*

Icky Hugs,

FRESH BREWED DESIGNS BLOG HOP

Yippee!!! It is finally here!!! If you got here from Carolyn's blog then you are at the right place. I had so much fun with these "Snow Buddies" from Heather's Fresh Brewed Designs that I couldn't narrow it down to one! Sorry but you will just have to amuse me and look at all of the cards that I made. I wish you could see them in person, I used lots of Fun Flocks, Liquid Glass and Prisma glitter, so there is a lot of texture and sparkle to the images. The small cards are gift card holders. That is one of the cool things about the digi images is you can make them any size you want. I am giving away some Bo Bunny products and some TomBow adhesive to one lucky person, so be sure to leave a comment letting me know which of the images is your favorite to get your name in the drawing. Heather is also giving away some digi images!! Now hop on over to Heather's blog.

Hugs and Blessings,

Stacy

ICS SKETCH AND PEEK AT BLOG CANDY

Hi

This card is for the ICS challenge this week. What a fun sketch to work with. Also pictured is some Bo Bunny Products that will be part of the Blog Candy that I will be giving away on Friday. So don't forget to come back for the blog hop!

The reason there is two pictures of the card is because I was messing around with the flash settings and couldn't decided which one was the best. I am trying to get some better pictures of my cards. Which one do you like, the first one, with auto flash, or the second one with soft flash?

See you all on Friday!
Hugs

"Gobble Gobble Gobble" image by Heather

A random act of kindness.....a blessing when you REALLY, REALLY need one! That is what happened to me when my dear friend Heather sent me this adorable image that she drew !!! You can check out her blog and her store on my sidebar. Isn't he just the cutest??? I think he is counting his blessing too, like maybe, hot coffee, rain boots and vegetarians! LOL :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day and remember to always be thankful! Check out Crazy 4 Challenges for some great thankful themed cards!

Hugs,

Stacy

PS. Thanks again Heather!!!! I hope I didn't disappoint you!

Please Be Kind

For those of you who are still with me "Thank you" and I am sorry I have been gone so long! This is my first attempt at making a card in a very very long time, so please overlook the obvious lack of creativeness. It was a lot of fun to just get my stuff out and play though. What got me back into the card making mood was that my good friend Heather gave me some wonderful images from her new store that you can see HERE. I also was inspired by the great sketch over at Doodle Street that you must go check out HERE. The darling image is from Heather the Paper is BasicGrey Phoebe, and I won it on Cindy's blog "Creating With Heart" she is forever giving stuff away so go visit her HERE. You can't tell from the pictures but I covered the coffee mugs with Liquid Glass that I got from my BFF Y~ you can check her stuff out HERE. In real life the mugs look like they are made of ceramic, they are so shiny and pretty, you will just have to trust me on that. This was my first time using a digi image, and I did have a little trouble with it smearing even though I let it sit overnight....so if you have any tips on that please let me know. I used PaperTrey card stock and Prisma colored pencils, but still ended up with finger prints and smudges, so.....I tried to make it look like shadows, LOL, pretend with me here, Ok? I hope everyone is having a blessed day and I hope to be back soon.

Sincerely,

Stacy

Playing on the Beach

Well, I have never been to a beach or seen the Ocean, any Ocean, so I was just making up what I thought it would look like! The image was so sweet, I have been wanting to use it for a long time, I just didn't know how to color it or what to do with it, it is very big! I got the image from a swap on SCS, I think it may be retired SU, but not for sure, the card stock is dutch blue CTMH that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the script folder and then sanded, I used copics, chalk, and distress stickles to color the image, I don't know why I think the sand needed glitter, I just assume it would sparkle in the sun, let me know if this is totally not true! LOL !!! Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week.

Pet Parade

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

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,

Stacy
