Good morning, Faithful Followers!
I hope that you are not tired of the heat like those of us in Texas are! Yesterday was 107! Can you even imagine?
Anyway, I know that I keep promising to be faithful to you, posting on a regular basis. Life keeps getting in the way. Soon, I will have a new little granddaughter, who will be occupying even more of my time! I am SO excited and anxious to meet her!
Okay, back to blogging...
This first card is one that I made for an order I am working on. I know it's a bit early for Christmas, but it's never to early to think about starting Christmas cards! The stamps used on this card are from Stampin' Up! The set is called Sunny Seasons Greetings. It's such a cute versatile set. I used different colored Stickles on the lights to give it a glow!
This card was made for Father's Day, again using Stampin' Up! I have been using my inks a little bit differently lately, and am enjoying playing with them.
This card turned out to be one of my favorites! Fo anyone that knows me, you know that I love tropical things, especially palm trees and dolphins! This card was made for a friend. I stamped it with a stamp from Stampabilities called Subtle Pams. I just love it! I did some masking to make the sun. I don't think that you can tell from the picture, but I used a real starfish on "the beach". I love that 3D effect! 
This is an idea that I took from my Stampin' Up Consultant, Karla Amigh! I just love the looks of this cute little dresser! I have been making a bunch of variations of it. I may be using this card for my daughter-in-laws' baby shower invitations. I have lots of ideas on how to use this idea! It is time consuming to make this card, only because of what my friends call "fussy cutting"! Below is another version of this card. I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the one below to give a wood look.
I hope that in some way, I am redeeming myself by putting up more cards today! No promises on what tomorrow brings...I have a 2 year-old spending the night tonight! :-)
Hugs to all!

Good morning Faithful Followers!
Yesterday was such a busy day! To begin with, we drove an hour to Frisco, where we used to live, to go to the new In-N-Out burger. We only waited for about 45 minutes, as opposed to 2 weeks ago when they opened, and people waited 4 hours! Can you imagine? You can't imagine the excitement everyone has, having this historic California chain come to Texas. Many Californians have relocated here. Once you have an In-N-Out Double Double, well, you just can never go back! LOL! After that, we went and shopped, and spent the whole day in the area.
Now, here comes the confession, we decided to do all of these things in Frisco is because we had been invited to a 30th birthday party in Plano. OK, so, the plan was to kill 2 birds with one stone. Great plan. The party wasn't until 6:00, and we had run out of things to do several hours ahead of that. That wasn't the bad part...or the embarrassing part... we arrived at my good friend, Barb's house 30 minutes early...make that 1 week and 30 minutes early! Yes, my friends, the party is next week! Talk about feeling like a total fool! LOL!! My husband looked like he was going to kill me...and said as much!
Barb invited us in, fed us dinner with her family, and we spent the evening in the pool! There's nothing like a good friend who loves you despite yourself! :-)
Anyway, I am actually sharing the card that I made for the "guest of honor" NEXT WEEK! I hope you like it. It's rather simple, but I love the stamp set, which is from Stampin' Up!
Love to all of you, who continue to love and support me...even when I am losing my mind! You never know when I might show up on your doorstep!
Hello Faithful Followers!
Today I am sharing a card with you that I made for a dear friend's son. He graduated from Texas A&M. I hope that you like it!
Have an outstanding day!

Happy Easter Faithful Followers!
Today I am sharing another Easter card that I made using my Cricut, my Fiskars grass punch, and Easter Eggs from Close to my Heart.
I am also sharing another Easter card that I made using some of my Spellbinders, and just cut out a cross and Cuttlebugged it...is that a word?! :-)
The last 2 are sympathy cards that I made that are really simple cards.
I hope that you enjoy today's entries and that you have a blessed Easter!
Bunny Hugs!

Good morning Faithful Followers!
Today I am sharing 2 baby shower cards that I made. The first was made using cardstock from Debbie Mumm's Noah's Ark. I cut the arks out of the paper. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the edges. The cardstock for the card itself, I believe is Club Scrap from my stash. The embellishment is by Joann.
The second card is one that I used several punches. Now, you would think with all of the stamp sets I own, both cards would have been stamped. I didn't take pictues of the insides, but they are stamped with nice verses! Oh, and by the way, I used a Spellbinder for the leaves on this card.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs!

Hello Faithful Followers!
The more I looked at my little chick Easter card, the more I thought that it needed a little something. So, I had some cute little rain boots that I had cut out on my Cricut, and thought that they would be cute...and I kinda like it! What do you think?
Have a great day!
Hugs!

Hello my faithful followers!
OK, to begin with, I want to tell you my new promise (You know how bad I am keeping promises!). My promise is that I will be sure that I have added my photos BEFORE I post! :-)
Today I am sharing an Easter card for a child, a Father's Day card and a card about unlocking your dreams.
My Easter card is a piece of cardstock that I tore, added feathers, buttons for eyes, a triangle for a beak and hand drawn feet. I thought that it was cute and rather childlike.
I have had these keys in my stash and have been dying to do something with them. The keys are from JoAnn Craft Essentials. I stamped and embossed ferns from Stampin' Up! using Garden Green SU ink. I also used it to give a little background color on the stark white cardstock, just around 2 sides. I added my "Unlock your dreams" sentiment and punched it out. You probably can't tell from my card, but the white cardstock was cut smaller, so that I was able to use Garden Green cardstock on the backside of the folded white card, giving it a matted look.
The last card is a Father's Day card that I made for my dad. He loves cars and I thought of him when I bought A Proper Gentleman Collection from Graphics 45.
Again, I used the Garden Green cardstock from SU! I then used the same ink to stamp on some wide white satin ribbon I had in my stash.
I hope that you are having a wonderful day & a wonderful week!
Hugs!
