Saturday....

Wow two days in a row!

This is a name frame I made for friend of Grace's.

This was a lot of fun to make and I am working on 2 more one for Grace and one for Sam.

Thanks for looking!

October....

Okay, I don't know where September went. We are now in the middle of October and this is the first chance I have had to post.

The cards I am posting are some Christmas cards my Mom and I made. We sure had a nice time stampin'! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi!

Well, well, well...here we are again. Summer has slipped through my fingers and fall is approaching full speed.

Summer card camps are over and I am gearing up for the fall camps. In the next couple of days I will be posting projects I have been working on this summer.

So grab you cup of coffee or tea and enjoy a few minutes with me!

Flight of a Butterfly....

Hello!

Today's card is made from one of my favorite stamp sets call Flight of the Butterfly. You can find this set on page 98 of the current SU Catalog, item number 111564.

The colors I used were Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White. I just love these names!

No special technique just some old fashion stampin'!

TFL & have a great day!

Monday

Hello! I hope you all noticed I have some scheduled some summer card camps. I have been in a slump and decided it was about time I got out of it.

The cards you see today are some that I made for the Happy Stamper ATC Club that I joined. It is a very nice group of ladies.

The second card you see is what I turned my ATC into.

Thanks for looking!

Tuesday....

Hi!

We had such a wonderful weekend. This was Grace and Sam's First Communion weekend. The service was beautiful. I am so proud of them.

This week I will be posting some Mother's Day cards I have made. They will all be out of a Stampin' Up! stamp set called Wild Rose. The paper I used is some I found at Michael's and I thought this stamp set worked well with it.

Thursday...

Well, the kids have a day off today. It is take you daughter/son to work day. Dave must of forgot. Cause the kids are still sleeping. Actually they are not old enough to go anyway.

We are going to have lunch with him today. Then off to the movies. We are going to go see Earth.

The card I am posting today is made with the stamp set Artfully Asian. I made this card for the ATC exchange.

Have a great day!

Soccer Saturday!

Today is the day! Soccer Saturday! Grace and Sam are looking forward to their first soccer games of the season. To tell you the truth so am I. It has been a long winter and I am ready for some fresh air.

Along with the ATC club I do an additional swap with some of the ladies there. This is one of the card I swaped yesterday.

Well, off to the fields, hope you can stop by!

TFl..Cheryl O

Guess what!?!?!?!?!

Tomorrow is Soccer Saturday! We will be at the field at 9:00 am with Sam and at 3:00 pm with Grace. If you are looking for an excuse to get outside, come by and cheer the kids on. We would love to see you there. We will be on the U8 fields.

Today is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) club. I have joined a group of ladies who get together and swap ATC's once a month. An ATC is the size of a football/baseball card and you swap them with other artists. It is a great way to get ideas and to see new techniques. Each month there is a design theme. This month the theme was vintage. The cards I posted are what I will be trading. (Hope this did not spoil the surprise, Ruth.)

Have a great day!

Hi! Long time no blog! Guess who signed up on Facebook! Wow is that fun. I have been chatting with people I have not chatted with in ages! It has been a lot of fun catching up.

We were in Chicago last week, exploring the city. I really enjoy taking the train in with Dave and the kids. We always find something different to do. I am looking forward to the re-opening of the dolphin exhibit at the Shedd. I believe that happens next month. This time we got to ride the new double-decker train over. That was awesome. It was only the 7th trip it had taken.

Today's card is a get well card/thinking of you card that I made using Stampin' Up! stamp sets Inspired by Nature & God's Way. I used a brayer for the back ground. Other than just a normal Stampin' technique.

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful day.

Spring Break in MI

We ended up getting First Communion clothes for the kids this weekend. I am glad to have those purchased. Grace looks beautiful in her white dress & veil. Sam looks all grown up in his suit. I tell you, enough to make a Mama cry!

Well, we are predicted to get a couple of inches of snow tonight. Must be Spring Break in MI. Yuck! What a long winter! We are going to go have coffee (well I am anyway) with Grandma this morning.

This is one of the Easter cards I sent out. It is made from the stamp set Glorious Gift.
