Kyle's 10th Birthday

Hello to all, Kyle was our little surprise when he was born, see, the ultra sound my daughter had was a 95% chance of him being a girl, goes to show you that they have a little room for a mistake, lets just say I had to return a lot of pink. At Christmas time, which is no fun at all!
Any way out little man loves Bat man and I do not have anything bat man so I went to my paper doll dress up cartridge super boy  on page 56 and used black for bat colors, used my DS to weld the mask and hair together to get to look of BM and used the diamond shape from George for the pointy ears. I am sure he will love it!

sympathy for family

Good morning to all, now let me see if I remember what I am doing to post my cards, it has been a while!
things have been crazy around here for some time now, with my mother having back surgery this summer to them finding a mass on her lung during a routine x-ray and it turning out to be cancer, they removed 40% of her left lung, For everything she has been through this year, she is doing well. She decided not to go with the chemo and radiation, because she is just wore out and the treatments are not guaranteed. She is 84 and we kids respect her decision.
On Nov. 2nd my daughter was in a car accident, we are blessed she is alive, she got severe whip lash, her left should is banged up and her back, the chiropractor did not sugar coat anything when he talked to her, he also said that she could be worse off and be paralized.

this first card is for my husbands cousin who lost his wife yesterday, she was only 64,  Not only are sympathy cards hard for me to make, but it also being winter (no butterflies) so I hope this is fine!

12 Christmas cards made with spellbinders poinsettia

 I must say this snowflake background was a little problem, until I put a new blade in!

Adam is turning 26

good morning to all,  for Adams card I wanted the background to look like a shine when oil or gas mix with water on the ground, the guys around here seem to be fixing something all the time, and it is not another tractor.

Deconstructed Sketch #109

Hi all,  I saw this sketch this morning and I thought of another way to use Martha Stewart punch. It is a bit time consuming punching both sides of a 1 1/2 strip of paper and getting it to line up just right but I think for these cards it works well

 

now all I have to do is figure out where to post this!

Eli is turning 3

good morning to all,   Oh My!, it is hard to believe that our grandson Eli will be 3. seems like yesterday...oh how it seems time goes faster now days.
He loves big equipment and could watch them for hours if his mommy would let him!
this card is a large 4 1/2 x 7 1/4 so that I could get a decent sized bull dozzer on it. (3 1/2") I added the inside of the wheels into the bucket so it is carrying something.

Jason's bd card

good morning to all, It has been awhile since I last made a card, just to hot upstairs in my craft room...
this was a quick and easy card to put together, I saw someone use Martha Stewart punch on a different card with 3 punched stripes and I thought it would be a great way to use up some of my scrapes... I think it looks great as water.......

I cut the strips of paper  to 1/1/2 inches by  7 inches to get them to line up right..
camp out fish is at 3 1/2 inches

yes,,, you are seeing 2 cards!!

good morning to all, Friday my s-i-l ended up at the ER with verdego (sp)? any way it being a weekend they kept her in the hospital, it is not something anyone want to experience. My b-i-l had it years ago, ended up having surgery to fix it. later on Friday my hubby gets a phone call that his uncle has died. Not clear on how he died.   so I had 2 cards to make...

from Cardz TV ...Love in a jar

Hi again,,,, I saw this challenge over at cards tv, Mary wants you to just a jar on your project.
the last bridal shower I was to, they had mason jars to drink from, part of the theme from the wedding also.
for the wedding the bridal party had mason jar that had a candle stick hot glued to the bottom, pretty cool!
all part of the country theme.

David and Brittany's wedding card

good morning to all, I saw this sketch this morning and thought of another wedding  card and since my nephew is getting married in Aug. I would make it now.....I tried to add the ribbon on top but it was just a bit too much with the bow tie in the heart, so I am going with this!
