Puppy LOVE....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you all had a Fabulous Weekend!

I had sooooo much fun at my Crop on

Friday night! I ended up knowing several

people that attended it.... It was a big surprise

for a lot of them to see me there and vice versa.

I told my hubby that if I enjoyed it I would do

it again next month. Well... I have to say I had a

BLAST! The gals that I sat with Laughed and joked

all night... I think we were the only table doing that!

The owner of the store was sooo happy to see a group

of ladies laughing and joking and scrapping all at the same

time. Of course I was making cards while they all scrapped.

I do have a layout from that night, but I haven't put it together

yet. When I do, I'll post it for ya! :o) Ohhhh and I also got

volunteered to Host a Cricut class! I was totally surprised as

to how little they know about their machines.... Of course I'm

far from being an expert, but I use my machines daily and try

to get the most out of them... I also brought my (Gasp) GYPSY

with me!!! Yes, the tool I least like! LOL To be totally honest with

you... it was helpful to take that (1) item instead of the #### cartridges

I own with me! And it helped several people out... So I will

be bringing it with me next month as well...

Ok enough chit chat about my fun crop...

Here is today's Card! :o)

Card stock, DP, Stamp, Ink, Punch - Stampin' Up

Cartridges - Easter (#42) on the overlay is

Cut @ 1 3/4"

Sugar & Spice - (Circle) Cut @ 2 3/4"

Beige Pearls for the dogs eyes - Kaiser Craft

Well... That's my card for today!

Mi-Mi will be here tomorrow with

something to show you... I'll be out

doing my monthly grocery shopping...

I've kind of put it off for a few more

days than I should and my family

says I better feed them! LOL

Have an AWESOME Day!!!

Giddyup Birthday...

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone!

I can't believe the week is almost over yet again!
I'm actually going to a crop tomorrow night!
I haven't been to a crop it like 3 years...

I'm looking forward to it... I have a couple of
friends who are also going... They asked me to bring 
one of my Cricuts and I thought it would be the
perfect time to bring my Gypsy along...
All my cartridges are on it so they will have a 
LARGE selection to choose from! :o)
I've already "Pre-Done" my cards... They are all
cut and ready to be put together... So, I'm
hoping they will all get done tomorrow night...
But I DO plan to talk most of the night...
Sooo, let's hope I get some work done! Tehehehe
Here is my last masculine card for the week!
I hope you enjoyed looking at them as much
as I enjoyed showing them to you! :o)

Card Stock - SU & Core'dinations

Designer Paper, Ink, Stamp, Punches - SU

Circles - Nestabilites

Copper bling - Irock

Cartridge - Old West (Horse) Cut @ 2 1/4"

so I just used an alternative! Well that

is it for me this week! Be on the look out

for Mi-Mi... I'm sure she has something

wonderful to show you! I hope you have a

great week/weekend! And I'll see you all back here

a HUGE Packers Fan and as soon as the game was
over... he was kind enough to give me a call...
Just to gloat! As soon as I saw his name pop up on my phone
I thought, Oh No.... Here we go! And yes he threw a few digs at
my Wonderful Bears team.... Sooo I'm a little Bummed... :o(

Sweet Little Mermaid....

Hello and Happy Friday Everyone!

I Know... You're thinking... HEY? Where's

Miislucky??? Well, she called last night and said

she wasn't feeling well.... so she asked me to post something....

Soooo... Here I am!!!! :o) I hope you guys don't mind seeing

a Little Mermaid Birthday card that I made.... :o)

First I gotta tell ya something... :o) My middle son

Juston who is 15 1/2 yrs. old comes inside

last night to tell me... Mom.... You are not gonna

believe who I just seen! I Laugh at him and say WHO?

Remember we live in the middle of no where!!! :o)

He and his friend are out in the freezing cold walking

around when they go stop by the Shell Gas Station

to warm up a bit.... and who walks into said Gas Station???

TIGER WOODS!!!! I was like Naaaaa... No way! And he

swears up and down and so does his friend and the guy

that worked behind the counter.... Tiger Woods walked into

our local gas station and bought something to drink... I then

ask him.... Well... did you get his autograph???

And he says NOOOOO!!!  He and his friend were

in complete SHOCK that this man came into the

gas station and all they could say was OMGOSH....

That's Tiger Woods.... they said it about 15 times

 while telling me this story... They still cannot believe they

seen him and they were soooo nervous they

never asked for his autograph! LOL

 Sooo of course I told them both that

the moral of this story is to make sure you

get an AUTOGRAPH!!! LOL

Ok... On with the card!

Today my GREAT NIECE turns 4!!

That would be Mi-Mi's Granddaughter...

My Niece said she was having a Little Mermaid

Birthday party for her... So of course I had to whip out

my Cartridge and make a Mermaid card! :o)

I'm not gonna lie... This card was SOOOO HARD to put

together! OMGOSH! Trying to put Ariel's face together

was sooo hard with such teeny tiny pieces! But after 2 tries...

Yes I said TWO!!! I really was not happy with the first Ariel

so I made her a second time and was much happier with

how she looked! :o)

Everything is Stampin' Up

except for the cuts I used to make Ariel and

the flowers... I used Core'dinations Card stock...

Glitter Card Stock is DCWV

Bling is Bazzill

Sorry but I can't remember what size I cut

her at... I designed it in my Design Studio

first but I guess I forgot to save it! OOPS!

I was in a hurry to get it in the mail so

I tried to make it quickly.... :o)

Anyway thanks for stopping by and Mi-Mi

should be back tomorrow with a card for ya!

Have a great weekend!

Sweet Teddy....

Hello and Happy Tuesdays Everyone!

I hope your week is going great so far!

Today I get to make a long journey to

the Doctors with my hubby! I mentioned

on another post that he had a stroke at such

a young age (36) and is now disabled... I was

just a Stay at home mom... until this happen then

I became a caregiver as well.... And since we

live pretty much in the middle of no where....

Our Dr's. office is about 1 hour and 45 minute

drive from here! He goes to a specialist every 6 months

and His Dr. is located in Colorado.... Luckily we live near

the 4 corners so CO, AZ, NM, are just a hop, skip and a jump

from us! LOL Still it is a long drive there and then the long drive back....

It's like one of my monthly grocery shopping trips... it's an all day event!

Sooo while I'm away I hope you enjoy this cute baby girl card I made! :o)

(Click on the Image to Enlarge)

I thought this came out soooo cute!

I LOVE Bears... Infact I collect them!

I have bears all over my house... Well not all

over.... but almost all over and I've been collecting them

for many, many years! Sooo when I seen this

cute bear on the cartridge I just had to make something! :o)

Everything is Stampin' Up except for

the Peachy Keen Face Stamp... I used the Large

Critter faces, I also used stickles for the bow,

Signo white gel pen for the Faux Stitching, and

Bazzill adhesive gems for a little extra bling!

Thanks for stopping by... I really do appreciate it!

Have an AWESOME DAY!

Baby Boy Toy Card....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

I Hope you all had a terrific weekend!

I told you last week that I would post some

of the baby cards I was making last week...

Sooo to start off the new week I have a cute

little baby boy card! I think it came out adorable

so it is now my favorite card for today! LOL

I also have a story for ya.....

With all of my cards, I start them all out

in my Design Studio... And I place shapes

and cuts where I want them to be and I also

take notes while doing this process..... This

terrible thing happened with my designs this week...

I pre-designed all the cards I made last week and thought

I hit the save button like I always do... and the next morning

when I went to open my program up... there was nothing

there! OMGOSH!!! I freaked out for about 5 minutes....

I kept saying Where is it???? Where is it?????

As if the computer was gonna tell me! Anyway...

I was sooo upset that I had lost all that work I did

and then I remembered that I also took notes and

wrote down the sizes/measurements... Soooo

I'm happy to say that I was able to create almost all

of the cards that I had lost in that file! Thank Goodness!

I am still missing some of my notes... Not sure where I put them

but otherwise I was able to get all my baby cards done, and

my Male Birthday cards, and some Thank you cards....

I still kind of wish I knew what I did... maybe it was sooo

late and I clicked the wrong button... I know it is the likely

thing... but I keep thinking I swear I hit the save button...

Anyway... It's all good now! and here is one of the

cards I saved on paper! :o)

(Click on the Image to Enlarge)

Card Stock - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - Basic Grey

Cartridge - B is for Boy (Lite Cartridge from Wally World)

Toy is Cut @ 2 1/2"

I LOVE this paper from Basic Grey... I know it's an

older collection... but it's one of my fav's for

Baby/Children's cards! :o) It's a clean, simple look without

to many layers.... Well that's it for today... I'll be back tomorrow

with a baby girl card for ya! :o)

Thanks for stopping by.... I appreciate it!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
