Kylie's Birthday is today!!!!!!

I can't believe that my baby girl is 5 today!!!!!!  The time just flew by.  We waited so long for her, but she was definitely worth the wait.  She is a beautiful, intelligent, crafty, witty little girl, and I couldn't be prouder.  She makes us smile with her wonderful personality.  Don't get me wrong...there are many "MOMENTS",  but I couldn't have chosen a more special daughter.  We love you Kylie!!!!!!!

Father's Day Card

Here is another Father's Day Card, this time for my dad and my FIL.  My dad's is the circle card and Tom's dad is getting the A2 size card.   I used the same paper for both cards.  For the bases, I used turquoise SU Textured 12 x 12 cardstock and regular white and a glittery patterned paper.  The sentiment was cut from the Wild Card cartridge at 11.06 on my Gypsy.  I also used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder for the sentiment and a white Signo uniball gel pen for the doodle dots around both cards.

Hope you enjoy the video! 

Come back and see me soon!!!!

Card for Elizabeth.

This card I made is for a little 8 year old girl named Elizabeth who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  I saw this plea on Raquel's website to send her and her family a card.  If you visit her website at raquelsdesigns.blogspot.com, you can get other details and the address to send Elizabeth a card.

This is what I came up with...

                                               
Come visit me again soon!  Guess what!!!!!  My Editor (hubby) forgot to flip my video so it wouldn't be upside down, and the completed pic at the end is sideways!  I told him, and he laughed.  You still get the idea.  Sorry about that!!!!!!!!

Have a great rest on the weekend everyone :)

Daisy Card

Here is a card I made using some Daisy embellishments I have had in my stash.  I thought it came out cute :)
A2 sized card.   I used a sentiment from Scrappy Moms, and glossy accents in the middle of the flowers.  I also used the EK success border punch and stitched along the edges with my White Signo Uniball pen.  Paper is from my stash, mostly SU, except for the green paper. 

Tyler's Birthday today!!!

Hello everybody!!!  Today was my baby's birthday!  Tyler turned 3 years old today,  I can't believe time is passing so fast.  Only 3 short years ago, Tyler arrived and made our little family complete.  He is so sweet, and makes me smile everyday!  He also drives me nuts sometimes, but I wouldn't trade him for the world.  We didn't do anything super exciting today, we had a small party and one of our friends joined us this evening for cake and we sang to Tyler.  He had fun at his party, and enjoyed the phone calls he received during the day from family calling to wish him a happy birthday.  He was so cute! Every time he would respond excitedly...me birddaaaayyyy??!!  Here are a couple photos of my sweetie pie from today.
Love you Tyler!!!!!!!
