Happy Father's Day!

Hey everybody! (Well if there is anyone still there! I haven't posted in FOREVER!) I have been busy with projects and I have started a new hobby...Couponing! I'm sure that's not a big surprise, since watching the show. I have saved TONS! But I don't want a HUGE stockpile, so I'm not going to be that EXTREME! So I have been busy with learning, searching for newspapers, since they don't deliver the bigger newspaper in our area. We have to go to a town about 20 mins away at about 7:30 am on Sunday mornings, before Church. And there is a lot of cutting coupons, and shopping! But I have had time to craft, which is nice! 
Here is a card I made my husband today! We own an A/C business, so I thought an outside condenser would be perfect for a card and it's the brand he loves and we sell...a Lennox! :) 

Well I think it's time to go eat lunch! Have a Blessed day! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a little late, seeing it's almost 12:00 pm! But I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day! Here is a card I made for a publication, that wasn't picked up. I think Chace should have given me this card today. I have been doctoring 2 boils on him! They looked like bites on Wednesday, started putting medicine on them Thursday, and took him to the Dr. Friday. She said they were boils and she gave him antibiotics and told us to do warm compresses, but I don't think they are draining enough! So I will be bringing him back to the Dr. tomorrow and we are hoping they lance them! So PLEASE pray that he gets better fast and that they can give him some relief from the pain! I hate to see my babies hurt! Chace is VERY tough, so to see him cry...it has to be bad! :(

Have a Blessed night!

Girly, You Rock! Card

Hello! I wanted to share a card with ya'll, that I made for a teacher at Chace's school. She was actually my teacher in 6th grade and we were her first class to ever teach! Then she was Autumn's teach 2 years ago. She is a pretty young teacher and she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. It started off with a pea size knot under her arm. She is almost finished with her treatments and she is doing well. I made her this card a few months ago, when some of her friends had a fundraiser for her. It was in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I found the idea from this card, so I knew it would be prefect for her! :)

ETA: Please continue to pray for this teacher. Her name is Desiree'. She didn't get a good report back at the Dr. this week. But we serve a BIG and Awesome God, who can still heal it! Thank you!

Have a Blessed day!

Welcome To The Neighborhood Card

Hello! Here is another reject card from months ago. I feel in Love with these cute little house stamps from Hero Arts! I don't really have anyone in mind for this card yet, because we really don't have neighbors. But if I do...then I will have a card! :) I real like this color combo! It reminds me that Summer, is just around the corner! :) Simple black embroidery floss, tied in a bow.
Sorry the posts have been short...they are all scheduled! :)
Have a Blessed day!

Sweet Baby Girl Card

Hey everybody! Here is a little baby girl card I made awhile back. I think I submitted this one.? I am really trying to post my cards and projects, that I am WAY behind on posting! I still have TONS of stuff to post, so please hang in there with me! I really want to get them posted, so I don't feel so overwhelmed with them all.

I did lots of paper piecing with this one. I just love zebra print for little girl cards.

Well that's it! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Home Sweet Home Card

Hey! Ok, this is an OLD card! I think I made it over a year ago! I really liked it though! It was a pub reject. It will make a great card for a friend that moves in a new house or something! Lord knows I still have it in my card box! :) Have a Blessed day!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday. Card

Hello! Here is a Birthday card I made for a friend of mine. I love the pop of color with the blue flower. And I love this flower set from Wplus9 Design Studio! :) I popped it up a little.

This was a very easy card. I would like to duplicate it for a gift set. I think I might! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Christmas...Yes, Christmas in March!

Hey everybody! I forgot to share this card with you. I made it for my sweet friend Kelley for Christmas. Yes, it's a Christmas card in March! :)

The sketch idea came from a talented friend of mine, Maureen! She make Amazing cards and intrudced me to Verve stamps. So I ordered some of their stamps and decided to use them on this card. Thanks Maureen, your work is SO inspiring to me! :) I love these Beautiful stamps and this color combo!

Have a Blessed day!

Thank you Card & a prayer request

Hey! Here is another card I made awhile back. I love these flowers, they are so fun to color! I can always use Thank you cards in my stash. So when I just want to make a card, it's usually something for someone in mind or a card I know I can use. (I'm sure ya'll do the same.)
ETA: I am sick at home and feeling bad! I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said I have 2 ear infections and a cold. No Strep or Flu, Thank the Lord! She put me on 24 days of antibiotics!! 10 days are for the cold now and 14 days are a low dose to see if I am carrying bacteria in my tonsils. She is thinking that could be the throat issue for the last 5 months. If this doesn't work, then she suggests take the tonsils out like the throat specialist thinks. And if the uvula doesn't go down after the surgery, then it might need to be trimmed, since sometimes they don't go back to normal after they have been enlarged! I started feeling worse last night. I started getting a bad cough and I'm hoarse! The Dr. just wanted me to take Allegra since I am taking so many antibiotics, but I need something for this cough. I have a call into them, but they still haven't called back with what to take! So I am really needing some more prayers right now! Thanks so much!
Have a Blessed day!

Happy Anniversary I Love You Card

Hey everybody! I am still trying to share all the older cards that I have made. I made this one for our employee's wife for their anniversary. I got the inspiration from a Maile Belles' card from one of the Paper Crafts mags. (I think it was a sketch mag? I would go look, but remember all my craft stuff isn't real organized right now! :) ) LOVE her style! I can't wait to see her new stamps she will be designing for PTI! I love these PTO Damask stamps too!
It was their 1 yr anniversary and these were their wedding colors. Here is a close-up.

I pray that I will get into the Dr. today for my sore throat! Autumn has her first track meet this afternoon, so I really want to get some meds, so I can feel better.

Have a Blessed day!

Happy Birthday Man Card

Hey everybody! I wanted to stop in and share a card that I made for my teenage nephew. I LOVE this Practicing Creativity set so much and I thought this simple design would be great for a teen! :) Very simple and I love the color combo.

Well that's it. I need to go to bed! :)

Have a Blessed night!

Wishing You A Happy Birthday Card

Good morning! Well I was up earlier than usual this morning. In Texas we have a state test called the TAKS test in school. It is different portions and today is the Writing part for Autumn and Chace. Chance is the breakfast cook around here, so the kids put their breakfast order in to him yesterday! :) So he was up fixing breakfast and I was up making them lunches, visiting, & encouraging them about the test. It was a good morning and I am praying that all the kids will have peace and knowledge when they do their tests. If you could, please pray for all the kids today too. Thanks!

I am still trying to get all those cards and projects posted. So today I thought I would share a card I made for a couple of Autumn's friends and our neighbor asked if I could make her granddaughter a Bday card too, so I went with the same design. I only took pics of one, because they were all the same. I love the color combo and the BIG rhinestone! :) Here is a close up.

I'm sure some of you have read that my husband and I are remodeling our master bedroom & laundry room? Well we had a laundry room & closet combo, since we have lived here. Well we decided to make a walk-in closet in our bedroom instead, because our room is huge! So he made a new closet and we added a hallway and split the old laundry room/closet up and made a laundry room by itself and a new little craft room for me! :) We are planning on building a new house in the near future, so we will eventually make the craft room into a bathroom for the master bedroom and sell the house. Our laundry room is almost completely finished (other than decor) & today is the day that I get to move all my craft stuff in my new craft room! :) I am SO excited! We have a few more things to finish this morning, but I hope to be moving stuff in later today. I think I may go look for some fabric today so I can make curtains! :)

Ok, well I guess I need to get off here and get started!

Have Blessed day!

Miss You card

Hey everybody! I miss you! :) It's been awhile since I posted last. So I thought I would post a Miss You card, that I made months back. I really love this stamp! Can you tell?! :) Life has been busy and is getting busier and busier! The kids have LOTS of sports going on! They seem to enjoy every sport, so they do all of them and keeps us busy too! But we enjoy it! :)

I haven't submitted to any magazines in MONTHS! But the PC call for sketches, just looked too fun to pass up! My craft stuff is still a mess, but I still want to try and create and submit something! I hope to be in my craft room by tonight and I can't WAIT! :) So I better go and start creating! :)
Have a Blessed day!

I'M SO Grateful FOR YOU card

Hello! I'm back with another card and yes it is the same colors and stamps as the one from yesterday! :) I'm telling you...I couldn't quit coloring these things! Too fun! :) I popped the flower up too.

Well I'm keeping it short! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Warmest Winter Wishes Card

Hey everybody! Well I just realized it has been over 2 weeks since I posted anything! Sorry! :(
I have been EXTREMELY busy with the holiday preparation and many other things! So today I want to stop by and tell you I am still here! And I wanted to post a Christmas card that I made over a month or two ago! :)

Well that's it for today! I haven't blogged, but I have been making LOTS of stuff! So I will be showing you all those things soon!

Have a Blessed day!

Thank You Card

Hey everybody! Here is another Thank You card that wasn't accepted. It was the first time I have ever used the Butterfly dies and I think the last! :( Not because I don't love them, but I forget that I have them or I get new stuff and I want to use it! I need to break out all my "older" stuff and use it more!
Look how pretty those butterflies are! :)

Well that's it for today! I need to get stuff ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Thank You So Much Card

Hey everybody! I'm here today to show some another card that I submitted and wasn't accepted. I really like how it turned out, very simple! And I love that I can still use it if it doesn't get accepted. I haven't submitted anything in several month's. Just taking a little break. But maybe I should send out or give away ALL of my "reject" cards before I submit again?! Lets see if I can do it! :) I guess I could give away some as Christmas gifts too! :) I need to go through all of them. I'm getting lazy about not posting the supplies. So if you have a question about something, just ask! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Sweet Baby Card & Custom made ribbon

Hey everybody! I wanted to show you a card that I made with inspiration for Kristina Werner. I loved her card and I love this one! There is just something about those different color onesies, that I LOVE! :)And look at this ribbon. I custom made it to match the onesies. It was a satin white ribbon and I just used my Copics to make stripes. I have to do this again! :) Here are the colors I used!
Supplies: Cardstock-(PTI) Sweet Blush, White, Melon Berry; Stamps- (PTI) Mega Mixed Messages, (Dulces Ideas) Welcome Baby; Ink- (Memento) Tuxedo Black, Ribbon- (Offray) White satin; Other- Copics
Well I am going to spend the day with some of the Momma's from Chace's football team today. We are going over to one of the ladies houses to make breakfast burritos and make a slide show of the boys for their banquet this Friday! We have all became really close and because we don't see each other almost everyday at football practice anymore, so we all decided to get together every week for lunch or craft (I can't wait for that)! I think we might make Christmas cards soon! I need to get that together! :) We had lunch the week before last and we were in the restaurant for almost 4 hours! Most of us are SAHM, so we are able to get together while the kids are in school. We all laugh til it hurts! :)

Have a Blessed day!

Thanks for everything card

Hey everybody! I wanted to share a card I made for a PC publication that didn't get accepted. I used the Mehndi Medallions for Wplus9 Design Studio. I really love these stamps and I love this color combo! :) Here is a close-up of those Beautiful stamps!
I have still been dealing with my throat. I am still taking the antibiotics the Dr. prescribed, but still having issues. The thought comes in my mind, will it ever go away, but I have to keep believing in the healing! I'm getting very frustrated and starting to wonder if it has anything to do with the shot I received from the dentist that day, like damage to the nerves or something! A million ideas have went through my head,of what it could be, but I still have no answers!
I am still praying for a complete healing in Jesus name and ask if you would continue to pray to. Thanks so much for praying so long already!

Have a Blessed day!
