Rainy Day Projects

The sun is finally out and it is 70 outside. Looks like it will be warmer than that all week so maybe around here we can say it is looking a lot like Spring. It has been rainy and windy for days so I am so glad. While it was raining the last few days, I did get some craft time. Made a few cards and a few scrapbook pages.

Today's Featured Stamper at SCS is Jean and I cased THIS card.


I love how this came out. I also did this card for the MIX challenge on SCS which is to use different tones of the same color. I used a Joy die to make the flowers and Tim Holtz Pealed Paint for my coloring.

I also cased my Punchkateer friend Diane who is the Queen for the Day this week at SCS. I cased THIS card.


I thought this card would also make a good scrapbook layout so I used it for Allie's Fight Song picture. I made a sister to it as well but didn't snap a picture.


The new CSI challenge #116 came out so I had to do a page following the clues/evidence/testimonies provided. I am so loving this challenge! You need to check it out if you do scrapbook pages.


This is Allie harassing her friend Dean about his chin. For some reason, I just love this picture. She gets back from Spring Break today - I haven't seen her in weeks and I miss her! She promised to come by on her way back to Birmingham so I made some Chicken Cordon Blu Casserole and biscuits (she loves homemade food when she comes by - LOL).

Hope your weekend was wonderful too. Hugz!

    This is a fabulous collection, I love the first card with the beautiful butterfly and flowers and lovely verse. You are so creative to turn a card layout into a scrapbook layout, I would never have thought to do that and I do love the background you have created for the second layout.
    I hope you had a lovely dinner with Allie.

    Nancy that first card is phenomenal. Just gorgeous. I really like your second card with that pretty die piece. You are right that is the perfect backdrop for your "fight"page for Alli. It goes so well with their outfits. The last page just made me smile. Love all those little gems and individual sentiments. Well you mentioned you wanted a strawberry when you visited me and now I want some Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole. Yum! Actually we had Chicken Pot Pie tonight. Early dinner because my youngest, who is also an Alli, is here for a visit from D.C. and she had early plans for the night, so eat and fly. Have a fun week and a nice visit with Alli.

    Absolutely wonderful creations but your first cards with the hydrangeas is gorgeous! Glad you are having nicer weather, we've got 2 inches of sleet accumulation and its still coming down! Humph! Mother Nature needs meds!

    Wow! I love your card for the mixed media challenge. The colors are super and you did a fab job. No way I couldn't like the second card with those big polka dots. It's awesome that you're doing all these wonderful scrapbook pages. I like your stencils. Fabulous work, my friend.

Everything looks amazing and I just love love love the last layout you posted! The photo is wonderful, and I find all the words and phrases so inspiring! Beautifully designed and created!!

    Love the pictures of your daughter-how fun! I see you have been using the hydrangea die I made you purchase....lol See, I told you - you would get a lot of use from it. It's absolutely stunning, did you dip the die cuts in the peeled paint like we did the poinsettia? I am so jealous that you got a lot accomplished. I am so slow!!!
    Bear Hugs,
    Carol

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
