Wplus9 Color Cue

Hello everyone.  Today is Wednesday.  In a way the week is flying by.  I was afraid it was going to go super slow since we had such a short week last week.  Time is flying by for me.  I can't believe that in 2 and a half weeks my oldest son will be a kindergarten graduate.  When did that happen.  It feels like just yesterday I was bawling over the fact that he was starting kindergarten.  I am so proud of him though.  He has graduated from speech therapy a long time ago and is doing so well.  His writing and reading has grown leaps and bounds.  His self-esteem is so strong, sometimes too strong :)   Anyway, on to the card for today.  I am participating in another Color Cue from Wplus9.  I really hope to get at least one of their stamp sets soon so I can play with them as well as doing the challenge.The colors for this challenge are as follows:I used PTI's stampers select white, enchanted evening, lemon tart and spring rain/stampin' up's bliss blue. I started with the white cardbase at 4 1/4 square.  I used enchanted evening next and then a layer of spring rain stamped using versamark with BB:hearts stamp set.  I also took the circle stamp from Round & Round and randomly stamped that on top of the text using lemon tart ink.

 The main image is from Round & Round in enchanted evening.  I stamped the center in lemon tart but it was light so I stamped over it again with Stampin' Ups bliss blue ink and then inked around it with lemon tart.The bottom is a layer of lemon tart cardstock that I spiffed up with a white gel pen and then took a copic marker and colored in between the ines.  The ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is from Round & Round as well, stamped in enchanted evening.I took a button I had in my stashe and tied it on with the equivelant of white, spring rain and enchanted evening DMC floss.  I would have used lemon tart as well but it appears that I am out of that one.  Guess I have another excuse to go craft shopping this weekend.That about does it for this card.Thanks for stopping by!!!

Happy Thursday to everyone!!! This is going to be a short post because I am not doing so well this morning. I woke up with a headache, it isn't bad, just enough to drain any energy out of me. I got my new glasses yesterday so my eyes are having to adjust to the fact that they don't have to work as hard as they have been.

Second, I woke up feeling a little sick and started coughing. While do that something popped in my middle/lower back. Kinda like I put it out again but not nearly as bad as I did in January. I can still get around pretty easy.

So, for right now I am just going to post the eye candy for you and I will try be back later to share the details with you all.

Have a great day!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Lauren's template

Well good morning everyone!!! It's Friday, it's Friday, it's Friday!!! Too funny, I used to hear that on the radio every morning when I was delivering the paper. I loved it.

Today I am sharing another one of Lauren's templates that I haven't used before. It is rounded wrap-up. The plan was to use it for either a gift for my son for finishing T-ball (his last game is next Friday already) or for the coaches. But after I got it printed and saw how small it was it wasn't going to work with my Baseball Connor from Whimsy stamps.

My niece is in a play at her school and we are planning on going to watch it tomorrow night. What does this have to do with the project you might ask? Well, I thought it would be cute to make a holder to put in the box and put some lip gloss in there for her as a gift. So, I got to work and this is what I came up with. I love it and hope she does too. I am sure my sister might want to still it though since it is pink hehehe.

I just realized something that is kinda upsetting to me. I have no idea what my nieces favorite color is. I need to find that out tomorrow when I see her.

Here are the deets:

stamps: Autumn Leaves (pretty poppies), PTI Ambassador Monogram Edition
ink: versamark, palette black
paper: PTI kraft, sweet blush, DCWV Nana's Nursery
prima flowers, Michael's ribbon, self-adhesive pearls, Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

That is about it. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Another note card

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! I hope you are having a good week so far. I have to tell you. Thank goodness I had a note card almost done so I could have something to show you today.

So, where we are at there is a lot of movies filmed here on the base. And most of them they ask for military members to be extras in those movies. Right now they are filming Ironman 2 here. My hubby went to the "audition" to be an extra in the movie. They wanted him!!! We are so excited but yesterday he had a full 13 hour day. He didn't get to see any of the "major" stars but did get to meet with some. The director, and a few others. He was really excited. So, if you remember to watch the movie next summer look for my hubby in coveralls hehehe

With that being said, I didn't have a whole lot of time to play around with my new adhesive gun. But I did finish the note card that I mentioned yesterday. I added more to it than planned but I love how it turned out. I am going to make a couple more so I have a "set" of notecards to use for something. Not sure what for yet.

Deets:

stamps: PTI life; boxes, bags & tags, paper tray

ink: versamark, palette dark brown

paper: cork board, PTI dark chocolate, aqua mist, and kraft

ribbon: PTI aqua mist

prima flowers, joann's brads, chloe's closet button from making memories, linen thread, and ek success border punch.

Notecards

Happy Friday!!! I am doing the happy dance. I am so excited to have Friday here. This weekend is going to be awesome. Saturday I get to go visit family and have lunch with my parents and my sister and her family. What a great way to celebrate Mother's Day, right?

Today I have a notecard for you. This card also fits the bill for 2 challenges. One is for Caardvarks. the challenge there is to use a verse or quote on your project. The second is for A Spoon Full of Sugar. Their challenge is "touchy feely" that means that want to see some texture on your project.

This card was a fun one to make. It is a small notecard 3" X 3". There really isn't much else to say so I am going to stop now.

Today is the last day to enter my blog candy. I will be back tomorrow morning to post the winner.

stamps: PTI guide lines, out on a limb sentiments

Simple post/Simple card

Hello everyone!!! I don't have much to say. It is a heck of a week and I woke up thinking it should be Friday. But then my brain woke up some and realized it is only Wednesday. I need the weekend as much as I need the sun. Thank goodness we have a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and the wind is barely blowing. In the desert, that is about all you can ask for. And trust me, I am so grateful for it. My oldest has t-ball practice tonight and then from there we head to church for cub scouts (my hubby is a den leader) and I have a meeting with the new primary presidency. I am excited to be able to work with the wonderful ladies we have now. But I am going to miss the other wonderful ladies I was working with :)

Today I have a card I made within minutes. I put the boys to bed and wanted to put something together but didn't know what. This one kinda just made itself. I love those. It is missing a sentiment that I will put above the bow. I just don't know what sentiment to use yet.

So, I will leave you with the deets and that is that.

stamps: PTI background basics: spots & dots

ink: versamark, tim holtz distress ink in tea dye

twill ribbon from Michael's, prima flower that was pink and colored with a red copic, self-adhesive rhinestone I won and corkboard butterflies punched with Martha Stewarts punch. The corkboard is also the same that Dawn Mcvey mentioned on her blog.

That is it. I hope you like it. I know I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Late Mojo

Happy Friday everyone!!! Wooohooo!!! Who isn't happy that today is Friday? Not me, I am so excited. I so need a break this weekend and that is all we have planned. Actually we don't have anything planned and I need a weekend like that before my life gets crazy.

T-ball is dominating our lives already. I cannot believe it is as bad as it is. I thought, sure a few days no biggie. Now I know what it is like to be a Mommy with a lot to do. I am loving it though. I love seeing my son so happy and excited about something.

I don't have a whole lot of time to post today. I have to go see the dreaded dr. Really, I hate doctors. It isn't the person really. It is just that I don't like what they may or may not find. I stress, about everything, and doctors are you of the things I stress about. My blood pressure is no good when I go to the doctors.

I didn't want to leave your eyes missing something so I am posting the picture and then I will be back later to post all the deets for it. I hope you enjoy it. I am pleased with how it turned out.

okay, I am back. The doctor's went over as usual so it took longer than expected to get back home. I am glad to be home though and can finally try to relax the rest of the day.

oh, and a side note, the layout is from a mojo sketch from Poetic Artistry that I didn't get a chance to participate in.

deets:

paper: SU! kraft, PTI lemon tart and $1 spot at target

ink: palette black and versamark, pti lemon tart

stamps: c.c. designs, pti boxes, bags, and tags

extras: OCL sparkly fluff, black fun flock, $1 ribbon at Michaels, crystal stickles, prima flowers, joann's brads

2nd post for today/Whiff of Joy Challenge

Hi guys!!! I am posting a second post today to show you my Whiff of Joy Challenge. They are doing another challenge for a guest designer. This guest designer spot is only for 2 weeks. But how fun would it be to be a guest designer no matter how long the stint is. I just love their images and so need to get some of my own.

I am not going to get all wordy on you today. Just gonna show you the awesome card. I really love it. And then give you the deets. I did want to say that the PP on the bottom is from a new pack I bought this passed weekend while visiting my sister. We went to Joann's to get some mod podge for me. I had some but it has disappeared into one of the black holes in my house. I also wanted to see if they had some DCWV paper I saw on Geny Cassady's blog called Citrus. They did have it but I spied this paper pack also and it is just so me that I had to snag it instead. It is called Latte. I don't drink coffee so instead I am calling it Hot Cocoa hehehe. The citrus is lovely and I might have to go snag it later. Great summer colors.

Deets:

paper:SU! kraft, PTI vintage cream, DCWV latte and another DCWV pp that I can't remember the name of

stamps:Whiff of joy, PTI simple little things

ink: palette black and brown, PTI vintage cream

extras: prismacolor pencils, prima flowers, joann's brad, michael's twill ribbon, EK success border punch

I hope you like the card as much as I do. I am so happy with the way it turned out. The last day for the Whiff of Joy challenge is today. If you want to enter you better get going.

The project I intended for yesterday

Happy Tuesday all!!! What a day it was yesterday. My boys were in full force yesterday. They drove me crazy. I don't know what it was yesterday, Monday? I don't know. My hubby also had a bad day at work yesterday too. Good thing it is over.

Of course we did end it on a good note. We are having some comfortable weather here so we barbequed and since my oldest is getting ready for T-ball he wanted to practice, especially since we got him some balls and a new mitt to play with. While my hubby was grilling I was helping my oldest to bat off a "T". My hubby usually just tosses him the ball and he hits it so this is new to him. Now we just have to work on the throwing. He always want to "pitch" the ball not just toss it to someone so this is going to be fun.

I was going to show you something else yesterday but stupid me forgot to take a picture of it. It was something I made for my sister so it was at her house. I had to ask her to take a picture of it for me and then email them to me. I figured I already had the pictures of the other project so I posted that first.

This is another Lauren's My Timeless Template. I love the little filed with flair goodies. My sister and I decided to play around with them this passed weekend. It was fun.

My sister is in love with pink so that is what I used as the base of the file holder. Here are the pics and then the deets follow. Enjoy!!!

Deets:

paper:PTI sweet blush, vintage cream, chocolate remix

ink: palette brown, SU! creamy caramel, versamark, PTI sweet blush, and berry sorbet

stamps: PTI life, borders & corners monogram edition

extras: PTI berry sorbet stitched ribbon, prima flowers, joann's flower brad, kaleidoscope embossing powder, treading water fiskers border punch, clear glitter pen

I also made a few mistakes on my last post. For the letters of my son's name we used a alphabet stamp set from SU! and the ink for the Connor baseball player wasn't palette black it was momento tuxedo black.

Well, that is about it for today. I hope you have a good day.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Brother-in-law birthday

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Another early and busy day for me. Today is Tuesday so my oldest has speech today. Then I have a couple of errands to run before I pick up my husband for lunch.
The only thing I am dreading today is going to the clinic here on base. We have signed up my oldest for T-ball. He and I are so excited to get started. But we needed to have a physical to get him enrolled. That physical was done in Dec. so all I had to do was take a piece of paper to the clinic so his doctor could fill it out and get it back to me. Well, all of that was done over a week ago. Still no word from the clinic about it been completed. I went over last week and no paper. I NEED that paper or my son cannot play. So, if they still tell me they don't have it I might have to drop a name. I hate name-dropping. It just isn't fair to everyone else but I NEED this paper, last week. What else am I supposed to do, right?
Anyway, enough of my woes, right? I promised you yesterday I would show you the card I made for my brother-in-law and here it is. I was really struggling with this one after making a really girlie card for my niece. I had planned on using Peanut from Our Craft Lounge but it just didn't work like I had hoped. So I took some time, watched some TV and then decided I need to get back to the card. I am pleased with how this turned out.
Here are the deets:
paper: PTI vintage cream and spring moss
ink: SU! Creamy caramel and versamark
stamps: PTI guide lines, simple little things
buttons: making memories choloe's closet and the brown is from a baggie I got at Wal-Mart
string is from the jewelry section at Michael's
As always, thanks for stopping by!!! Tomorrow I have a fun project I made for myself using one of Lauren's templates.
