White Wedding

I made these cards for the last PaperCrafts call for All Dressed in White, but I guess they didn't like them as much as I did!! I love that Doodlebug Embossed paper and used it on all three of these cards. Oh well, can't win em all, can ya!!!

CPS #31

I made this for the CPS sketch #31. I liked this sketch and wanted to use it. I made this card to send to an online friend who has had a very rough summer with illness. I do hope this finds her in better spirits and back on her feet!! (no pun intended) Used Melissa Frances sticker and paper.

Hey there!

I just thought I'd post my cards I made with my kit I received as GDT member on Treasured Scrapbooking. I had so much fun making these, even though I probably would never pick this paper as something I would work with, certainly not my usual style, but I enjoyed the challenge!! I gotta say though, Leslie puts together an awesome kit, you should check them out!!

Well, tomorrow is Monday again, I am so glad that Abby is settled into school. She loves it!! I've settled in quite nicely too, I might add. So far so good. Hope you all have a great day, looks like a gorgeous September week on the way!!!

Wahooo

I just got an email from Sarah Hodsdon at Sarahndipitous to tell me that I won a prize from the Blogabration celebrations. I won a handmade mug from Sarah Hodsdon. I think that is so cool and I cannot wait to receive it. I'll post a picture of my new mug when I receive it!! I can't wait to see it.

On another note, school went well this week. A little scary on the first day, but not bad. I have homework already, boy I am not used to homework!! Do you know how long it's been?? 22 years!!! I'll be OK, I think!!

My baby started too. She didn't have a great first day. She cried and cried when we left her, I cried and cried when we left her -- that was the hardest thing to do!! And when we went back at the end of the day to pick her up her beautiful brown eyes were puffy and red. You could tell she had been crying alot through the day. Her teacher said that everytime they did something new, or moved somewhere like the cafeteria or outside to play , that she would start to cry again. Just unsure of it all. Oh God, I cried again when I saw those sad little eyes!!!

The next day her daddy dropped her off and she was OK, didn't really cry, but didn't want daddy to leave either. When I went to pick her up at the end of the day she saw me and came running and said "Mama, I didn't cry at all today" Oh God, do you think Mama cried again??? YES!! Hopefully Monday will be an even better day for her. Our obstacle now is getting her to get on that bus. Her older brother and sister had better be nice to her and see that she is OK, plus she has a little friend that is brave enough to take the bus, so I am hoping that that little girl will give her the helping hand that she needs!!

Anyway, hope you all have a great Sunday!!

I just read...

that my itty, bitty blog is featured on Today's Creative Blog . Thanks so much Kim, I am ecstatic that you chose my blog, and totally shocked!!! I really didn't think that anyone really read my little ole blog except a few friends!! If you haven't checked out Kim's blog you really should she always features a fantastic blog every day!! It is a lot of work for her to constantly find fresh and new blogs everyday!!

Here's a little card I did for a challenge on Treasured Scrapbooking that I had to do as the Guest Designer this month. The challenge is to create a card using all My Favorite Things. I gave a list of about twelve of my fav things to use on a card and they have to choose five and it must include a quote or verse!!

I am getting very nervous, I have butterflies in my stomach!! I am starting school tomorrow. I can't believe the time is finally here!! Wish me luck everyone, I hope I can sleep tonight!! My middle girl is complaining of not feeling well, I hope I am not up with her all night!! This is reminding me of an old Kris Kristopherson song!! Help me make it through the night!! lol

I'll let you know how my first day went tomorrow night, if I make it, that is!!

My last three days...

before school starts and I am getting a little nervous, it's been such a long time, but I am really looking forward to it. It'll be a very interesting year I am sure!!!

I've been a cardmaking fool the past week! I thought my creativity had flew the coop but I am delighted to say it has returned!! I received my kit for Treasured Scrapbooking and I've gotten three cards made for my GDT spot with them. I hope they like them!!

I've been making a few little pretties for the latest PaperCrafts call, so I'll keep those to myself for now, if they don't like them then I'll post them here, I am very pleased with how they turned out, I hope they are too!!!

Now this card I made before I went on vacation, it was for Carla's sketch challenge but I never got it posted in time for her challenge so I'll just post it now. I love this sketch and it is very versatile, I can see me using it over and over, thanks Carla.

The last card for today is a card I started before vacation for the PaperCrafts call that just went by and it was for an interactive card, I think it was their JOCM feature. I started it before we left but never finished it, and by the time we got home it was too late! So here it is now. It was kind of fun to do!!

Hope you all have a fantastic Labour Day weekend and enjoy the last weekend before school begins!!
