As most of you know, it was a very busy summer for me.<br />
Then in September I helped my youngest daughter and her family move to Colorado and stayed for a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
That led to a process for me to decide where I was going to live..I decided to accept their offer to come live with them. yes I am blessed<br />
Sadly that was not an easy decision, as I left my oldest daughter and two very special grand daughters in Illinois along with family members and friends , that are a part of my every day living... For those that do not know me, my family and dear friends are my life.<br />
<br />
It took several weeks to give away , sell, and store most of my belongings.and lots of packing.I was blessed with good help and in time I was ready to make the move. So in November my daughter and family came to move me...<br />
<br />
<br />
So I am in Colorado, it has been great. the weather is not too bad where we are, my family is doing well here. And my family back in Illinois does a lot of face timing and calling...thank goodness for new technology Speaking of technology, I do not have my desktop or my awesome printer/ scanner, so it is a new world for me to learn how to simply post on my blog...Then my laptop died, so I am using one from my daughter as well as an Ipad she gifted me with...yes I am blessed<br />
<br />
They say change is good, and I am trying... For those that know me. well, sometimes change is a big struggle for me...I am trying, slowly<br />
As this is my second attempt to post this update on this blog....<br />
<br />
I am sad to say my crafting supplies did not make the move, as there was not quite enough room in the trailer ~ and my son-in-law thought I needed my bed and clothes more lol<br />
They are all packed and waiting until the time we can go get them...<br />
<br />
Til then, Krista's craft area is set up...well kind of sort of...yes that is another story, are you ready for that???<br />
<br />
Krista had her new craft room all set up and in order, she was excited... However she learned a new baby was on the way, and he needed a room...So her craft room was emptied and sat up in a large corner of their dining room... Functional, looks good and we are thankful.<br />
And it did not take Krista long to find an SU consultant close by Plus Krista and I have been to a couple of SU classes out here and that was awesome... So I will have a few things to share<br />
<br />
So did any of you figure out the best part of all of this??? I am going to be a grandma again insert a huge happy smile...# 6 and the third boy currently we refer to him as # 4 lol<br />
<br />
So for now I will leave you with this message, but I will be back... crossing my fingers and saying please God...I will share pics of where I live, and my family and creations when I can<br />
<br />
2014 was a year of many challenges, many changes...many prayers... and many tears ...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
I hope you enjoyed the hot tea...maybe tomorrow I will have some banana bread to go with it<br />
Thank you all that have checked in on me, and still support me...I really appreciate you all <br />
<br />
See you all soon, bye for now<br />

<b>We did add crystal effects to the flower and his / her nose for some added fun </b><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I am not sure about you, but August is one of those months, lots of birthdays... I missed a few </div>
<div>
but was so happy the card class I attended had several choice pre designed for birthdays, or easy to change the sentiment...Woo Hoo</div>
<div>
The first one was designed as a thank you, but it was so easy to change it up ... It was stamped with the set named Stippled Blossoms from SU...And the SU consultant is so happy to do all the fancy cutting, yep another Woo Hoo lol the back ground stamp Haedwood is one of the truest designs I have ever seen...yep I bought it lol the embossing on the top layer of the banner adds so much and flowers and leaves are all popped up at different levels ~ love love love this one <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0m8k2JwLsf7zC1wh8OBSIT5epaZd3j3OTssUVtcnyoYluj1Ab0qKeX0GsRDSEhuf_MVGqVsJWjpZ0TbBvEkygUdTlNPfJUjDpbvykSogMqauEXwjPVFGolxIc-t_yacJeEMbVPJ436fvN/s1600/Susies+birthday+2014%23+5+Christmas001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0m8k2JwLsf7zC1wh8OBSIT5epaZd3j3OTssUVtcnyoYluj1Ab0qKeX0GsRDSEhuf_MVGqVsJWjpZ0TbBvEkygUdTlNPfJUjDpbvykSogMqauEXwjPVFGolxIc-t_yacJeEMbVPJ436fvN/s1600/Susies+birthday+2014%23+5+Christmas001.jpg" height="320" width="250" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
And # 2 for the Birthdays is something so different and fun to me~ I can see this set being a stand by for teen cards or masculine cards .I thought the color combo was great..The name of the set for the splotchy or spilled paint look is Gorgeous Grunge iand the Happy Birthday is from Age Awareness </div>
<div>
Love how they look perfect together... Not sure which set the label was from... Again dry embossing the small blue square and piercing the label add so much <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now # 3 is a much softer look and a new technique as well We used painters tape to press into the ink and place on the card stock to go with the birds image It came out light and so perfect... who would have thought lol ?? The set used was Wetlands, it comes with 3 different sentiments so I did one birthday and one thinking of you . I thought the wood grain embossing was great like drift wood...It is the Woodgrain embossing folder </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved the ideas presented to us, and we were able to choose which ones we wanted to make and make 2 of each design we chose ... It was really a great day , a friend gave me this class as a belated birthday gift, I gave my sis in law the class as an early birthday gift and we were joined my a niece, another sister in law and a friend... What better gift than time doing what you love with those you love ~<br />
First is a card that was fun to make, easy to change it up if you want by placement of lined stamp I did not add the sentiment because I thought it would be great for several reasons, I will add one as needed . ...The flowers and leaves were cut out and some popped up with dimentionals .. red base , white card front , navy ink, red ink and celery green ink or some thing similar... I forgot to get the name of the stamp set, sorry <br />

And # 2 is one that that pushed my limits, lol ~ stamp, punch and line up ~ .my niece and I also requested to change the base mat color, as she had some really off green... We embossed the white mat after we applied the hexagons, for a unique look simple ribbon treatment and popped up the sentiment </div>

Are you enjoying the weather?? We sure are here ~ another day of sun shine and temps in he mid 70's . Not too bad for a day in April in the Midwest : )<br />
How was your Easter? Ours was wonderful, I will be back with pics to share in a day or two...<br />
But for now I have some book marks to share .<br />
I have a special friend that is invited to the Walk To Emasus every year to speak, and she loves to give away gifts. This is the second year she asked me to make bookmarks to go with the Bibles she is giving away...After the very long winter here her only request was to use these verses again and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use pastels maybe we can get Spring to break out here : ) <br />

I enjoyed making these ~ such happy colors ~ and I was able to use up some of my stash. the inserts are corner rounded and edged in ink to match the back piece ,,,the scripture is computer generated ( with help from my oldest grand daughter ~ thanks Ali girl ) the cross is a favorite little stamp I have ... The ribbon work was decided and done by my youngest daughter, she knows ribbon is not my best technique lol I corner rounded the bottoms of the back pieces, the top was too snug of a fit with the ribbon in place...<br />
A valuable lesson learned : ) <br />
And a close up <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of you heard me wishing~ very loudly ~ that I had not waited until the last two days to make these ~ Yes I knew for a month or two * sigh .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there was just a few time consuming steps, since I made 60 of these : ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was not complaining, well other than my back hurting from bending over the cutter and snapping the metal guide on that cutter too lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I love doing these for Miss Amy, I feel blessed to know her and honored to do any thing for her </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now we wait to see if it worked ~ So far we have much sun shine and nice temps ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
maybe I should have made them sooner ???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope to upload Easter pics to share, we have my grandsons birthday party tonight and a 50 th Anniversary celebration to attend tomorrow </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Krista is doing the cake : ) I cannot wait to see that </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So grab a glass of tea, and check in in a day or two... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

FUN.... and SHARE Hello, yes I thought Spring was here , until yesterday when we had SNOW and temps in the 20's again...So are we really going to have a spring this year? or are we being teased ????<br />
My cards today are both fun cards, are are made with some sweet SPRING related goodies from a friend, and of course a few things from my stash too<br />
<br />
<br />
The first card is a card on a card ... and is square just because I thought that fit better... I used some pretty pretty turquoise vellum and a flower brad that was gifted, and I added turquoise and blush card stock... and some sheer turquoise ribbon I thought matched up nicely ... Inside the top card ( the smaller one ) I stamped"May God's Love Brighten Your Day " and on the inside of the big card I stamped "When I make a card for you, I put a Prayer Inside " It is in the mail to my sister - in - law that struggles with health issues... I thought the blush was soft and may carry some Peace to her, with the bright color to carry happiness <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And card number two just made me happy to make it ... The image and ribbon was gifted, and I dug into my "doggie stash " for the rest... The dp is sparkly... and this was so easy to put together..<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I still have many pieces to use and two precious images, I am chicken to color... But I am building courage... <br />
<br />
I am not sure if I will be back this week, My oldest daughter is having a gathering here at my house Friday, so I need to be cleaning, Plus Easter dinner and Egg Hunt will be here...Monday is my little buddy's birthday, and I need to have 60 book marks completed by next Wednesday for a sweet dear friend... <br />
<br />
So til next time, when ever that may be Easter Blessings from me to you and Happy Spring too <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by the porch, <br />

<b> Only in my life Right ??? : ) </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So , Hello, how is April starting off for you?? Did you say goodbye to March on a good note??</b><br />
<b>I sure did ! My middle grand daughter turned 15 on the 29th, we had a lunch gathering for her and then some shopping to spend some of her "gifts " Yes she was thrilled... It seems make up was important this year... said with a smile, She is a beautiful girl, inside and out, and I hope some day she realizes that the make up is not the reason ~ but I love that she knows what she wants, and goes after it .</b><br />
<b> She is truly a special young lady .</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My card today is her birthday card, I was stumped not only with her gift but a card to suit her or her day... However her cousin was taking her to the movies later that day...and they both were so excited... So I just dug in to some birthday dp and embellishments...And used some of her likeable colors ... The inside I created a movie ticket to be a pocket for cash ~ just to be sure the two young ladies had enough money for the evening ~</b><br />
<b> As we all know, some times they forget that part...lol or simply look past it perhaps...lol </b><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> While I was out in my craft room, trying to go through some things I found some odds and ends and pieces of cards. So I decided to see what I could make... I still have a huge pile of goodies to play with but I thought I would share a couple with you ... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> My first one was perfect for a manly birthday card...I dear friend from high school celebrated a birthday earlier this week... It was great ...I put the Happy Birthday on the inside with a special note that said : as far as friends go, you are a true CLASSIC... The image is a SU stamp set called Classics, I used basic gray card stock, black ink and mat and basic gray satin ribbon </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The card front had a slight embossing , but it is not showing very well in he scan ...I also straightened the mat and image up before I mailed it ! lol </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The second one I really got side tracked with because there were a few of these... My daughter Krista actually made these card fronts for an exchange at a SU gathering...she had leftovers so I asked her to share them...they were / are just too pretty to not be used.... and with Spring arriving it was the perfect time to get them ready to go out in the mail ... This is all SU product, she used a SU border punch and watercolor crayons and blender pen to color it in ..I love it, so soft and delicate...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So I guess instead of Spring Cleaning I dabbled in re-furbishing cards...sounds better than "cheating " </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> It sure was more fun than cleaning! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope your first day of spring has been good and left you with reasons to SMILE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As always, thanks for dropping in, I am off to enjoy a grandson, he came here after school for a grandma hug, a Daisy girl playtime and oh yes a SNACK...lol</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Til next time</span><br />

<b> And the third card is one I had a little fun with ~ I re-stamped some of the sentiments on ivory card stock since this tag I had was more ivory.

We were to get snow today, so far as of 8:30 pm none yet...sure hope I do not jinx us...<br />
<br />
Tonight I have two cards to share, bot are gong to the same recipient ..One is a thank you , my "ex" Sister in law but dear friend is always so kind. She loves my Daisy Girl and is always so good to her.<br />
The out side looks like a simple thank you but the inside has puppy paw prints..~ a stamp by Stampabilities~ and a note to tell her Daisy loves her... Lois is an amazing lady...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgEvThSH-n66xSSePNGfXb_2buxVVlkSsHwcfue2anFRvVOHWYtNKR4koe7IpxsPjEH8sf-5gMSzApMG7PbhF9O4D6alpyxe7aia1SEy7O9AmQPQrSfHRWOEmkGpCFORMVM0Sg8POfz0JW/s1600/thanks+in++yellow+and+gray001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgEvThSH-n66xSSePNGfXb_2buxVVlkSsHwcfue2anFRvVOHWYtNKR4koe7IpxsPjEH8sf-5gMSzApMG7PbhF9O4D6alpyxe7aia1SEy7O9AmQPQrSfHRWOEmkGpCFORMVM0Sg8POfz0JW/s1600/thanks+in++yellow+and+gray001.jpg" height="252" width="320" /></a>The base is basic gray, barely banana mat, white sheer ribbon with basic gray taffeta ribbon on top. Scallop circle punch with stamping in encore silver ink ~ an Su stamp ~ and basic gray swirls... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept the out side "BASIC" so the note inside would be the best part ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the second card is for Lois's birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cased a card I had made a year or so ago, because it was a "happy " card to me . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is colorful and pretty all due to the DP</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of those cards that is so easy... but made me smile...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope it brings her a smile too </div>

It is still cold, as a matter of face we have freezing rain, sleet creating ICE...then several inches of fresh snow falling today...Add those nasty winds and yep another NASTY winter day in the midwest <br />
<br />
So here I am, playing in my craft room : ) <br />
<br />
I am using a few things from our monthly challenge... The first card is on whisper white card stock by SU...with a sheet of dp from Michaels ~ I thought it looked springy and it matched the flowers I found there too .<br />
I used the SU circle punch and their scallop circle punch to host the sentiment ~ This card is because I missed a birthday for a sweet sweet lady... my beautician. On the inside , it will say Sorry I missed your special day...Many special wishes today and every day of this upcoming year ... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tM8gCAIaPYocbkq589d_lfDUrH1l82Z7-NaguZv_Hv2olt5DscfdhpyF9xVvfneR6y787VJX08UK-Ib1rrafjTIJN_ESyvhLBYxlLIHVbV0-XZ_8HjDbF1pA5-6VVKMdNW-9ZRUDWvDm/s1600/Feb+challenge+++belated+birthday+fir+Tify001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tM8gCAIaPYocbkq589d_lfDUrH1l82Z7-NaguZv_Hv2olt5DscfdhpyF9xVvfneR6y787VJX08UK-Ib1rrafjTIJN_ESyvhLBYxlLIHVbV0-XZ_8HjDbF1pA5-6VVKMdNW-9ZRUDWvDm/s1600/Feb+challenge+++belated+birthday+fir+Tify001.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
And the second one is using just a small strip of that same dp and the card base and matting are in Calypso Coral by SU. I rounded 3 corners on the sentiment which is a clear stamp by Fiscars. I rounded 2 corners of the card base to follow that flow .I used SU circle punch again with the scallop punch and used white gel pen to add dots to help make that scallop circle show up better... I decided to keep this clean and simple...This is an encouragement card for some one just going through a rough time... the inside sentiment is " I thought a cupcake might help " <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgivF-Ci2uQyMl9_pFnm0YJItuHL07kYP1L7-eQQGopudGLu1HbiLJdw6Dd0kYUqrciwrcQLpOaHJfXtOLbSwMUdC8LlxV5C-RyqZ93XhqhRkYtbIKw7x2zoWHiHhPXlx-df9NUXSB6LSGu/s1600/Feb+challenge++Tanya002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgivF-Ci2uQyMl9_pFnm0YJItuHL07kYP1L7-eQQGopudGLu1HbiLJdw6Dd0kYUqrciwrcQLpOaHJfXtOLbSwMUdC8LlxV5C-RyqZ93XhqhRkYtbIKw7x2zoWHiHhPXlx-df9NUXSB6LSGu/s1600/Feb+challenge++Tanya002.jpg" height="250" width="320" /></a></div>
And again the scan is just not quite right.. Calypso Coral is such a soft pretty shade not too bright <br />
But I am not complaining, at least I got these scanned in and transferred...Woo Hoo <br />
<br />
So 2 for 2 attempts today... and I thought spring like thought even tho it is still all white and wintery here.<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for stopping by the PORCH...<br />
I am still serving hot beverages of your<br />
Hope to see you again soon...<br />
Bye Bye for now<br />

<br />
So here are my Valentines that I made my daughters and grandkids...You all know I love them right : )<br />

Last time I was here I promised a viewing of a few cards my sister in law made while she was visiting me... Life is on a roll...busy busy... Lot of things going on, more to think about ...<br />
and I just got lazy...<br />
So here we go <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ktTnKwQ5Ol0nSPkKjtyNuzarAAOeo8r2ew5Q4A-D81s-sgWihgWJAD0pj7IAmtghXXrWOxm8_8-aO1u25y4oKHUmfb_O25zfPknIbdkfpJIWeNNQXrF_KZf7xU4LMZnukxBThCzJzVJx/s1600/Birthday++by+Sue001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ktTnKwQ5Ol0nSPkKjtyNuzarAAOeo8r2ew5Q4A-D81s-sgWihgWJAD0pj7IAmtghXXrWOxm8_8-aO1u25y4oKHUmfb_O25zfPknIbdkfpJIWeNNQXrF_KZf7xU4LMZnukxBThCzJzVJx/s320/Birthday++by+Sue001.jpg" width="249" /></a></div>
This was a birthday card for Krista, Sue left it behind to surprise her. Some sparkly dp, sweet bow and ribbon placement some bling to make the flowers pop... All in Purple because she knew that would make Krista smile...<br />
<br />
And # 2 <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgL8_mXtKt5EVvoeFLlSMRS28x8DjXJJKhI1R37WN0wHPGg4DecX1garhkYRWAb-gGURGKAKp0bHriibI7cb3MCeDwI3nbWd0k3nkuSmIZvOw8w8Y_mpM08j4a8XEpxBF-1VIUBflh6Jq/s1600/Birthday+for+Gabr+++by+Sue001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgL8_mXtKt5EVvoeFLlSMRS28x8DjXJJKhI1R37WN0wHPGg4DecX1garhkYRWAb-gGURGKAKp0bHriibI7cb3MCeDwI3nbWd0k3nkuSmIZvOw8w8Y_mpM08j4a8XEpxBF-1VIUBflh6Jq/s320/Birthday+for+Gabr+++by+Sue001.jpg" width="245" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was for Sue's great grandson that shared a birthday celebration with Sue while she was here visiting...they had a great family gathering... Gabe is nine I believe and she choose baseball theme... So she used some great do, fun letter stickers and basic matting... He loved it, it was perfect I am sure...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sue had so much fun playing with my punches, and dies and embossing folders... yes the card from is embossed with tiny flowers sorry it is not showing well.. She added the sweet butterflies and even found matching ribbon in mt stash...Inagine that ??? lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

.Bye Bye for now Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17623442034047468725noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971057123165354567.post-20258194279746717762013-09-03T10:16:00.004-07:002013-09-03T20:27:05.935-07:00JUST A COUPLE OF AUGUST BIRTHDAYS Well yes I know August is gone, lol but as always, here I am a bit late...<br />
<br />
So here is a card that I made for my sister - in - law , and the best part was I was able to spend her birthday with her. That was the first in many many years... I am sad to say I was not feeling well, after a weekend of either motion sickness gone to vertigo or what ever it hit me... But we did just enjoy being together.. .I treasure this lady, she has been a part of my life for over 50 years...I am so blessed, she has always been that " big sis " that I did not have... <br />
I used some beautiful dp from a friend, and dry embossed the solid color with a folder from Sizzix, matched up and used some velvet ribbon from my stash, just to pretty it up. And then butterflies, yes just because I love them...a touch of " bling" and a simple sentiment..<br />
<br />
I had to fit this in, as I turned Sue loose in my stamping / scrap book room to create cards while she was here... And oh I think she liked it : ) She liked it so much my brother bought her a Sizzix for her Birthday... You are welcome big brother : ) . <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not use a true PURPLE, which is her favorite color, but I loved this image ( pre colored ) from LOTV ... I had this awesome dp out and off I went. The scan does not show the color well, it did actually look pretty good together.I made a square card because I thought it showed off the image better </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, pretty paper, fancy ribbon a sweet little happy birthday stamp and the awesome image... my work was made easy... : ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though my little girl is all grown up, I still remember these days... .. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the best part... my next blog post will feature some of the cards that my sister in law Sue created while she was here... I keep telling her to put some up on her Etsy account or at a church function... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a fantastic seamstress, so I love to see where her creativity takes her... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So please be sure to stop back and check her cards out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and get a link to her Etsy account too : ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for stopping by, It is still warm enough to enjoy some iced tea... </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I needed a birthday card for a special young lady, I choose to love her 26 years ago , and in return I got a lot of love and happy memories... </div>

I used a gift image and choose some pretty DP and colored that image to match or coordinate with colored pencils, then a blender pen, my favorite way to color... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the SU label dies and I used some clear liquid gloss on the flowers to make them shiny. And a piece of velvet ribbon to make the color pop ... This card is 5 x 6 1/2 inches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again I love square cards... this one opens in the center ..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some blush colored card stock against the black card, I think it makes a nice contrast... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Sizzix label # 18 dies, some ribbon in my stash, that was purchased to go with the blush card stock and then soaped a fun butterfly in blush , just to add some thing so it was not so plain... The double layer of labels is attached only to the left side so the card opens ...This card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and really an easy and quick card...It will be going out to a special lady .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well there you have it, the first card is way out of my comfort zone, but I love the way it turned out...soft and pretty... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the quote, at the top oft the post...It is so me... I love to create...but need that push ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How ever, last weekend it just happened that all of them were here , in and out, but here. Brooke wanted to paint on tiles , she had an idea to make some thing for her dads birthday. They were 4 x 4 ceramic tiles, you can find them a Lowes, Home Depot or Menards.<br />
Dustin decided he wanted to paint to, so Brooke helped him draw his design and away he went. Then Ali decided she wanted to draw some thing and paint it to. Brooke designed a couple more so it was a kitchen table that was busy busy busy .<br />
<br />
This is the set of four that Brooke painted for her DAD<br />

So did you all enjoy your days over the holiday? I sure did...I was with both daughters and my grand kids, plus a friend or two~ what could be better???<br />
Well having a birthday the day after a holiday sure helps... <br />
<br />
My friend Sue asked if I wanted to go get a pedicure for my birthday, and it was a perfect idea. She was away over her birthday in June, so I had not decided on a gift for her yet...so we both got pretty toes...and to make it better my oldest daughter went too <br />

Then we came back to my house to make cards.Sue had taken a class using Basic Gray supplies </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( one of my favs ) so she brought those up and we were going to use the left overs...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never got that far , as she was still working on hers lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my grand daughter Brooke ( age 14 ) started coloring images, and she was really enjoying herself , so that made me happy </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She went into my craft room and I suggested she pick out some pretty designer paper and color an image to go with it... and then go look for embellishments to add... She loves that grandma's room has so much that matches... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>IMAGINE THAT ! LOL </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, here is her card...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't her just full of happiness ? </div>

She found a butterfly that had been cut on white embossed paper and decided to use chalks to change the color...then chalked the corers to add color </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She added some bling , at 14 life must have bling lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and sheer ribbon to add some texture or " fancy it up " as she said ...lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
