Hey Y'all,

Long time no see...and I'm really, really, REALLY sorry about that. Really! And I didn't want you thinking I had fallen off the face of the earth, so I thought I better blog a little...

I have been busy with life in general and I have been making a few large aluminum signs for a couple of business to put up on their buildings. (yay me!) It's been a really fun and learning experience, to say the least. But, hey, isn't that what life is all about...the learning process. It makes you grow as a human being and creates character, at least that's what my Mama always told me! And, boy howdy, I created me some character...LOL

I'm also working on some files to put in my Etsy store...I'll tell you about those when I can get them finished and ready to go.

I've been tackling a new software...is there a pace slower than a snail?? If so, then that's me, but I will learn it!  with a little help from my friends, I'll get by with a little help from my friends - name that song - LOL

I have made several cards and such, just haven't stopped and taken pictures.

Today, however, I have made a birthday card...and I remembered to take pics! I know, pick yourself up off of the floor....ROFLOL

Here it is:

Next I have to get my Easter cards made...will take pics and post about those when I get through with them. Promise...scouts honor! (Okay, I wasn't a scout.) But, I do promise!

I'm going to be looking into another pc really soon, so that may take a front seat to other things. Dear Lord, please, pretty-pretty please don't let me lose all my stuff when I go to transfer. Amen Yeah, I know...that was a random bit of info...LOL

Well, that's all for today. Thanks for stopping by for a few and I hope to see you again really soon.

I hope and pray you have a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Granddaughter's Birthday

Hi all!

I hope this finds you having a wonderful day!

Short post showing my Granddaughter's birthday card...be kind, learning curve with my Promarkers...but, I WILL get there!! LOL

Today is her 5th birthday and we will be going to see her this weekend!! She's having a bowling party, so we will be taking her gift(s) AND her mom's (cause her birthday was the 29th). Can't wait to see them both, and of course, my son as well :D!!

Anywho, here are a couple of pics of her card...

Card base is AC Damask.
Green, pink and brown papers are Core'dinations.
Image is Saturated Canary - Beach Baby colored with Promarkers. 
Flowers, washi tape, gems and netting are from my stash.

Thanks for taking some time out of your day for a visit.

I hope you have a blessed and creative day and stop by again soon!

THANK YOU and a couple of cards

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

 I wanted to take the time to say a great big THANK YOU to our military, those currently serving and veterans alike. You put your life on the line for all of us, and I / we are so very grateful!

 

 Now I have a couple of cards that I have made and managed to remember to take pictures of...teehee...

The first card is a birthday card for my Daughter-in-Law. She's not a fru-fru type of girl...so this is not a really frilly card. Tomorrow is her birthday and I will be seeing her this coming up weekend, so I will give her the card along with her gift. We are going to a bowling party for my granddaughter's birthday (which is the 31st)...so lots of fun for this coming weekend!! And yes, it's mother and daughter...LOL The card has a removable bookmark on the front...thought she might be able to use it...she's in college. We're very proud of her, she has a little over a year left to be a Pharmacist!! Woo-hoo!!!

Oh, and before I mess up and forget...The scrumptious ribbon, rose and flat back pearl trim were a gift from a cyber friend...Heather...she does beautiful work!

Ok...here are the pics...LOL ( I know, you're thinking finally!!)

The next card i have to show you is one that I actually SOLD!!! YAY!!!!!!! I finished the inside with an appropriate sentiment for the purchaser...I think I'm on a tag kick...teehee...but this one isn't removable.

Ok, so that is my offering for today...I thank you for taking some time out of your day to visit with me for a few and I hope you will return for another visit soon!!

I hope you have a blessed and creative day!!

Until next time,
Lisa

Found something...

Hi all!

I found this lovely paper from Prima Marketing called Madeline Collection, and I fell in love with it. It has more of a shabby chic feel, which is not my usual choice with paper, but man-oh-man do I like this one! There are greens, pinks, browns and aquas...scrumptious. Soooo, I decided to actually use some of it instead of just LOOKING at it and I made a birthday card for my stash...

Sorry the pics aren't super - my camera and I are having issues!!

I used my fabulous Black Cat Lynx to cut the butterflies. The flowers, pearls and sentiment are from my stash. 

I would like to enter this in the following:

Southern Girls Challenge #38 So Distressed

Allsorts Challenge #142 Anything Goes

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #104 Ribbons&/or Bows (only has a bow, no ribbon, so it may not qualify...)

Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit for a few. I wish you a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Lisa
