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!

Going Green!

Hey everybody! Happy St. Patrick's Day! I challenged myself to wear green everyday from March 1st - March 17th! I got the idea from the sweet and talented Susan Opel! She did this last year, and I thought it was a great idea for a scrapbook layout! Then she did it again this year, and I decided at the last minute that I would give it a try! I really wanted to do a layout with the pics!


I'm not going to lie...it was HARD for me! Green is not my favorite color, and I didn't think I had as many pieces of green clothing! My son asked me one day, "So if you run out of green things to wear, do you have to go buy stuff?!" He just thought that was ridiculous! :) I did go and buy a couple of things that were on sale or on clearance. Then I got a terrible cold during the process, so it was hard to make myself get up and get dressed to take a pic! You can see one of the days, I was feeling so bad, that I wore "green" hand sanitizer instead! :)


I set my camera up a couple of times to take the pic myself and the other days I had Chance and the kids do it for me! I don't have very many pics of myself, so this was WAY out of my comfort zone to do! I don't think I will ever do the "Going Green" again, but I did think about doing pink or red for Feb. 1st - Feb. 14th! That would be alot easier, since I LOVE pink! :)


So here is a collage of my March 1st- March 16th.


And here is today, March 17th!

I found this shirt at Goodwill! The leaves look just like PTI's Turning A New Leaf set! I love it! :)
Well I better get off of here. Chace has tutorials to get ready for the Math TAKS, Autumn is doing a "mock" tryout for cheerleading today, because tomorrow is the BIG try-out, and Chace has a regional All-Star Basketball tournament game tonight! If they win...they are on their way to Nationals! Woo Hoo! :) So it's a busy, busy day! :)

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!

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!
