The first on the 4th

Happy Independence Day everyone. I love this great country and the military who has protected and defended us. They have given so much and deserve our gratitude.

Girls Rule

I made this for the Splitcoast Tea Party Challenge.  If you are a SCS member and I not done a Tea Party Challenge, you might want to give it a try. The card you make always goes to someone who is in need of a little kindness. A lot of times it is for a child. This one is going to a little girl that has been very sick. She loves pink and princesses. I think this will be perfect for her.

Happy Trails

I wonder how many of my fellow bloggers knows what Happy Trails is?  Roy Rodgers was one handsome cowboy.  I can almost hear this QKR reminds me of that sweet song.  Click on the link and take a stroll down memory lane..

Something to Crow About

A friend just finished a kitchen remodel.  She started out thinking she would do chickens but changed her mind.  I made the card and bought her a pretty chicken trivet before the kitchen was finished.  I figured you can always use another trivet and I really liked how this turned out.  Oh, did I mention she has a Pinterest board just for chickens?

Are you drooling over that frame.  I cut it from my Silhouette Cameo and I am crazy for it.  This was an old digi from Digi Doodle Shop, which is no longer in business. I'm so glad I have it. I used my white pen for highlighting the feathers.

July

I love this beautiful country! I could get real sappy about the whole thing, but instead I bring out my red, white and blue card.

Isn't this Serendipity stamp pretty. And BONUS it has a watermelon! I only used my Copics on the watermelon. The rest of the coloring was done with sparkly gel pens and sponging the center. I also used the Art Institute Glitter on the banner image.

The dies I used are Spellbinders Bracket Borders One.

Tea Cups

I haven't been blogging much lately. I've had some problems with my PC. I can use it somewhat, but it get's hot pretty quick and I try to limit my use. I've been making cards, so I'll have some to share when I get my new fan.  This will be a quick post.

I have recently found some super digi's at Cuddly Buddly.  Here are a couple of cards I made with this teacups image .

I Have Colorful Friends.

I do have colorful friends. One of my sweetest friends has conversations with her cat.  Another has the loveliest southern Kentucky drawl. And my daughter whom I consider a friend can make me laugh so hard that I ALMOST pee my pants. My sister has been my friend my entire life. My husband is my friend that loves me despite all my flaws.  

Friends and Family... I love them.
