Welcome Buddy Boy

    I just recently was asked if I would like another cat. A good friend of  my oldest daughter and myself found a  lonely  cat at an abandoned house..  Now keep in mind, she is a dog lover,  and has never really been around cats... So  she  brought  what she thought was a small little female cat...And my first thought was, whoa,  that is  TOM if I ever saw one,  and a big one at that...lol
     He is so loving, and loveable too, and  has  crawled into  all of out hearts here. I took  the cat to be checked  to see if " she"  needed  surgery, since we  have so many cats running around and really do not  need any  kitties. And guess what  I was told ?  " It'a a Boy, and a big boy at that..." And I learned that he  had already  had  his surgery,  so after a simple rabie shot,  we just came home to settle in... Though  this cat came  to us  being called Pumpkin,  yes  he  has  orange  fur,  well that and white ...My youngest grandson  said  he looked like a BUDDY... so  he is now  known as Buddy Boy.
And he is getting so much love.I think he likes to be spoiled...
   I wanted to thank   my friend  for giving me the opportunity to  help this  sweet cat, and give him a loving home  and also thank  the very kind lady at the clinic for  being such a generous person. She has a foundation to help deter the high costs of   taking care of cats..

      These cards are both  basic, or  extremely simple  but  come from my heart, with a lot of  THANKS.  I did  add some of the  dp  to the inside of each card  to  add some  fun .

Thanks for stopping by, I will see you all soon...


I will  post a  few pictures  of  all three of  my  cats  and of course  my  Daisy Girl,  my Shih Tzu   soon...

Happy Spring

      I do not know about where you are, but we are  having some  great weather to welcome SPRING. I decided what better way  to  start spring, than to do a Perfect Sentiments  challenge.
      This challenge we were given  5 colors and were asked to use three on our card. I chose the rose color of Regal Rose, the pink color of Pretty in Pink  and white...Yes that was one of the colors  I saw...
      There was a shade  of blue  and  one of red as well .
       We also were to use an EASTER sentiment on the front of the card...That is it !

   So here  is my take on the challenge.I love this  stamp set from Darcies, sweet sweet  duck images with  just the right words to go with them.
   Of course I had to add some  bling     : )

I hope  you are  having beautiful weather like we are  and can enjoy all of your SPRING  ...See you all soon...

Another Kind Of Green : )

    I am enjoying our simply beautiful weather, and it has  gotten me in the mood to play. After enjoying the sunshine,and seeing  the grass starting to turn GREEN, I come in all energized and ready to  play in my craft room.
    I had started this scrap book page last week and today it was so easy to  finish it. 
    I used an older stamp set called So Much from SU, and created my own back ground paper... Since the picture  was  printed  slightly off set,
 I followed  that look with placing the picture really off set on the dp.
 The picture was so full of color and told its own story so I wanted the rest to be subtle. I added the big flowers  to  add some balance and fun, oh and some bling too.
    This is my youngest grand daughter, and the  best blessing in my life last year. She is so happy, and full of  love and brings us all  such pleasures... Her smile is the best medicine.
   Her grandpa Wally would be so proud, as he did not like  peas either...
This is why I love to scrap book,  I can tell  our stories, any way I want to...

  I will be back with some cards in a day or so, I am working on a couple of challenges. So I hope you will stop back and check those out... Til then,  enjoy everyday, Smile  and  share  a smile with some one...

Happy St Patty's Day

    Hello,  wow  March is  blowing right on by. I hope  no one  has blown away... I did find a quiet moment to play and get one card made for St Patty's Day...
    Our wonderful group of ladies  that share goodies each month is always fun, and in this current package  we had some sweet  things to create  for  the day of  green   : )
      This card is  basic, simple and quick...I used a punch to add some dimension, I added some bling to  make it happy... I was able to use a white card base, I rarely do that any more. I am afraid of taking away from the  pretty-ness of the card. But I thought in this case it was fine  to do it this way.  I cut the wide ribbon into a banner, instead of fussing with a bow
 (  yep Krista was too busy to come tie a bow...lol )

  I have cards to share  from a gathering  we  were a part of a week ago, I hope to  get the cards scanned in  or pictures  taken  so I can do that  soon...So please stop back soon.

  So  for the Irish souls out there, I wish you a day of  wonderful Irish Blessings  and Love,  and for those  without the Irish  blood,
 I wish you a day of   Blessings , and Love   : ) 

Thanks for stopping in,  Smile  now and  share some  happiness...

            MISS DIZZY LIZZY COMES FOR TEA

   Our Teapot Tuesday  challenge this week  was to include  the elements of  navy blue and burgundy colors, books,  royalty, as in Queen Elizabeth's history, BOOKS  BOOKS  AND MORE BOOKS  and cats... So I dressed Miss Dizzy Lizzy  up  for a royal tea party with her  best  hat,  and  had tea served   as the royal  ladies would... The message inside  encouraged,  rest, tea, and  reading  ....All for a sweet lady  in need of  some  healing after surgery.

   I used Navy and Rich Razzleberry card stock by SU,  some dp   by SU  and a touch of pink pirouette...I colored the cat  and tea cup  with markers   then used a Versa Marker  to the tea cup and  heat embossed with clear embossing powder  to give it some shine...I added a piece of silver thread  to sheer ribbon  and some bling to the flowers , again to dress it up a touch

    Thank you  for  visiting Miss Lizzy... She is a bit dizzy, but so loves company... 

And as always, thanks for stopping by... See you next time ...

        March is here, along with the winds

    My first card  is  one I made  simply because I was looking at some different challenges.I found this one on SCS.  It was called  TLC    and this week  we were asked to use only one color of ink... I remembered  using this image a few years ago to make a birthday card for a sweet friend... So I pulled  out the stamp set, and  decided on some DP  and  just started playing...
    I used Guava dp  and guava ink, both retired from SU... Sheer ribbon  peach tone pearls... I used my new Spellbinders  die Label # 18  and kept it fairly simple...I thought the dp  was  enough, no need to  emboss or  layer

     And this is the one from a few  years ago ...Again it was one color of ink, I think this image  is pretty done this way...I used glossy card stock on both of these cards.  This one is on celery card stock, with pixie pink, the ribbon  just happened to match perfectly  and some pink  glass  dew drops  added some  extra detail...
    I think both are good examples of  clean  lines, and  simplicity..Neither of these cards are on a white card base...  I guess that was  just they way  they transferred...

    I am so glad you could stop by, I will have my  Teapot Tuesday  card  up  by tomorrow, so please  try to stop back. We are sending some happy thoughts  to a wonderful lady  that loves  to read books on Queen Elizabeth's time,  and enjoys  tea and kitties. She   likes the colors of   burgundy and  navy blue...  

So until then,  thanks again, and  I hope  you are smiling...    : )
