Card of the day 8/4/10

Today I combined 2 of my new favorite sets for this fun card; Sky's The Limit, and Owl Of Us. Two of the owls are floating away on the kite from Sky's The Limit set. Too fun!

I also paper pieced some clouds. The paper is from GCD Studio's and the reverse side is the red/white polka dot which is too cute.

One of my new favorite things to do for embellishment is to glue rhinestones on to the ribbon.

On a personal note, my eldest son Alec received his birthday gift today (if you remember he turned 14 while on a missions trip to Honduras) his first cellphone. He is so excited! I also made him his favorite cake (and mine too, yea!) chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Honestly, I just can't get enough of that frosting!

Today I have a love-ly pop up card. Don'tcha just love an inter-active type card? So much fun to recieve.

Card of the day 8/2/10

I just love these cute owls... and in different sizes there are lot's of possibilities for them. I stacked a few on top of each other for this fun and elegant card.

Rhinestones help bling-it-out a little.

I am excited as my eldest son Alec comes home from his missions trip to Honduras this evening. Yea!

Card of the day 7/30/10

Sorry this is a day late!... I started it yesterday and the rest of the day vanished somehow. Anyway, you can see I am on a "stamping things in a circle" kick. I know, I am weird but it is fun!

On another note... my eldest son Alec turns 14 today, and he is celebrating it in Honduras while on a missions trip with our church's youth group. I am so proud of him!

And did you ever have a day like I did today? The lens popped out of my prescription reading glasses a few days ago, and I really need them to see while I am coloring my stamp images in... so the twins and I go on a 55 minute drive into the big city (Augusta) and drop them off to go shopping at Wally World, we return about 30 minutes later to pick them up. Well they can't find them anywhere... and after I looked around, I see that they are still at the front desk where the lady forgot about them. (Ugh!) So a different, and very nice employee popped the lens back in and while adjusting it she cracked the lens. (Ugh again!) Oh well, accidents happen but now I have to go back next week to pick them up. Such is life, just happy I didn't forget what I needed at Wally World... nothing worse than going all the way there and forgetting something! Have a great weekend everyone!

Card of the day 7/28/10 by David

My son David (one of the twins) came up with this accordion spinner card yesterday while hanging out with me in the Studio. How clever... I have never made a spinner card incorporated in a speciality folded card. I am going to have to make one of these!

David asked me if this could be the card of the day... absolutely!

Card of the day 7/27/10

Today's card is another one of our new 5 stamp sets "One More Scoop?". I am partial to this image because my husband and I opened a coffee/ice cream shop this past December. This little mouse got into a carton of ice cream and had a grand time!

I am still in my purple phase... are you sick of it yet?

On a personal note, our 13 year old son Alec is on a missions trip to Honduras with our church's youth group. There are about 20 kids and adults on this trip and I am nervous, and really excited for him. They left Sunday and my Husband and I got to talk with him for a few minutes last night which was wonderful.
