Macyn

 

This is a photo of Macyn that a friend of my daughter's took when Macyn was only 4 days old. To see more of Tami's photography go here (facebook) or her website here.  She does an amazing job.  More pictures to come!

It's A Girl!!!

I am sorry I haven't been posting but I have been playing Grandma!!!  My daughter had a baby girl on July 2nd.  They named her Macyn (pronounced Mason) Lane.  She is beautiful with a head full on dark hair.

I got to travel out to Colorado and spend some time with them, helping out with cooking and cleaning.

I will post pictures this weekend of little Macyn as well as a card I have made.

Til then...

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!

Do you have plans for the 4th?  Lots of picnics, celebrations, b-b-ques, watermelon and f-u-n!!   Love the 4th!

We really need rain here in Central Nebraska so I hope there are no fires due to fireworks starting dry grass on fire!  We have not had a drop of rain since May!

Here is a card I made for a fellow cardmaker Connie:

I used a Close To My Heart stamp set and cardstock scraps that I need to get rid of.  I keep buying new goodies and end up not using the old things I already have!!  Does that happen to you? Inside I decorated it:

Have a fabulous 4th and see you soon!

With Sympathy..

I am making cards and I have a LOT of scraps and pieces of stamped images laying around that I need to use!  This is one of them.  Clean and simple...

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday...times two!

While digging through my stash of scraps and card stock, I whipped up this card:

It is bright and cheery and another birthday card I can add to my "grab & go" stack. Then I stamped another real quick birthday card using a stamp set I had sitting on the counter:

Two cards made in about 20 minutes!  Not bad.

Hope you hare having a wonderful weekend!

Funky Fold Card

I received this card from Sharon Lim way back in February. Her blog is named "A little of this, a little of that.." She was a winner of a Luv 2 Stamp group card contest.  The fold she used is called a Funky Fold and you can find out the measurements and where to score and cut HERE.

This card is so pretty in real life.  It is currently sitting on my craft counter where I can enjoy it :)

This past Sunday, I finally had some time to try this fold out and it is really fun.

Isn't it cute?  I used scraps of paper and ribbon that I had in my stash.  Love the little onsie in the SU! Baby Bundle stamp set and I used an old "special Delivery" sentiment stamp - it fit just perfect in the punch! 

I had so much fun making one card - I made another one!

Do you like that wild paper?  I made it myself! Hehe!

The unique part of this card is that folded, it fits into a regular sized A2 envelope which is great! 

Try this one out for yourself and go visit Sharon's blog..she has some more different folded cards to share with you also!

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired By Dawn!

I saw this card by Dawn Olchefske whos blog is Do Stamping With Dawn and knew I had to make one of these! 



Isn't it so pretty?  I love how the flowers go from one layer to the next!  I was trying to use up some old retires SU! paper Crushed Curry, so I decided to try it in that color.  Here is my take:

Dawn has a video on her blog that shows how easy this is!  I know I will be making more of these and with different stamp sets. 

I decorated the inside just very simple with just whisper white cardstock and a stamped image of the flower in the bottom left corner (had a picture of it but it is way too fuzzy!!)

Thanks for stopping by!!
