Summer~~


Is there such a thing as summer blah's??? I think I have them. Either that, or I am still exhausted from grandchildren! I did this easel card to fit as many challenges as I could, how lazy is that? One bright spot, I got to use my new Cheery Lynn die, but are they ever intricate! For movie buffs out there, I saw "The Help" and I have one word, OUTSTANDING! Definitely Oscar worthy performances. I also went to a play this week, so maybe I'm just tired from socializing, hahaha! So here is my little Maggie, and she is being entered into the following:

Almost there~~~~


Ahhh, Wednesday, middle of the week! When I was a working "girrrrrl" I used to love it, because I only had two more days, and then.....the weekend! Now that I'm retired, every day is a Friday! Hmmm, enough of that~~This is my "LOTV" entry for their challenge (roses). Who made up that silly rule of pink/red clashing? I love them together actually! It's colored in copics on Cryogen, and the DP was from my stash, which is growing soooo big! I used flowers from Michael's, and stickles plus embossing w/cuttlebug folder to finish it off.
Hope you all have a great week, FL is in the rainy season (yes, believe it or not!) and so I'm taking full advantage of it!

The theme is hot, and what's hotter than these gorgeous girlies! I made a "Z" fold card, and then turned it on it's side~~great idea, but I won't be finding an envelope that fits anytime soon!

Vacation's over!


Well, I'm back! I am going to say I was on vacation, but I've been w/four grandchildren ages 17-3, so some might question my sanity calling it that! I loved every moment of it! I did not color though, and boy I am ready to get back into the swing of things! Today I am using a stamp by Impression/Obsession. (#H1741) It's pretty detailed, but no matter how many pictures I took, it did not do it justice. I colored it w/copics, some stickles and a Sizzix die cut. The fold is from SCS, called "recessed window." When I finally stopped being a dunce and actually got the measurements right it was fairly easy. I took it a step further and made it into a tent card....just a suggestion. The tag is from HOTP~~Hope you're having a great weekend, I am ready to start another for LOTV challenge, gotta catch up!
