Thank you card

I've sort of been working on this card for 2 weeks.  I had picked out the image was had it colored but couldn't seem to decide what kind of format I wanted it to belong to.  Then I came across the sketch at Card Positioning Systems.

I made this card for my sister's in-laws who were kind enough to invite me to stay with them for my nephew's baptism.

I submit this card for the following challenges:
Card Positioning Systems sketch #193
Crazy Challenge CCH #41 Thank you
Kaboodle Doodles #44 Recipe challenge
Fresh Brewed Designs #23 Show off you style


Until next time...

Halloween catch-up

Okay,  I managed to fit in one more Halloween card and then I'll move on to Thanksgiving cards.  The fact the there are three weeks before the holiday means I should be able to get a slew of them made.


The sketch I used for this card was Sweet Sketch Wednesday's #73.

I used my newest  Gruffies stamp, 'Punkin' Head'.  I grabbed a bunch of white flowers from Hobby Lobby.  I chalked the flowers orange to match the chalking around the stamp image.


I submit my card for the following  challenges...
Drunken Stampers - before copics
Cards For Men - anything goes
House Mouse Challenge 81 - Halloween
Incy Wincy Designs#66 - anything goes

Card Patterns Sketch 88

Well, I figured it's about time to get back in the saddle with my scrapbooking.  Of course this means I have to fit it in between going to school full time and working part time, but I'm trying.  Unfortunately with the little time I do have, I didn't get all the Halloween cards I wanted done.  Ah well.


I used Card Patterns sketch #88 for this card. 

I can't remember where I got the digital image from but I'll do my best to find out.  I certainly want to give credit where credit is due.

Unbelievable!!

I came home last night from work to find that my home had been burglarized.  Most of my electronics, except for the televisions, are gone.  Laptops, game systems, games, cameras.  Even my jewelry.  Not that my jewelry had much value, it was mostly items you would pick up from Claire's or Target. 


I called the police but unfortunately, no fingerprints were obtained.   I suspect a boy that my son goes to high school with since the thief used our key from outside and cleaned out my son's room.  I have two dogs that should have scared the person away but apparently the thief knew where the dogs' room was because the door was simply pulled closed.


Creativity will have to take a back seat while I sort through endless mounds of papers looking for receipts and thus serial numbers for the stolen electronics.

Summer's Over

I think it's time to get back in the swing of things.  I have to admit, this summer I had no desire to do any kind of scrapbooking (or crafts for that matter).  However, now I'm back in school and I have a new job so I can feel the creative juices starting to flow once again.

Father's Day Card

I bought this cute little guy with a specific card idea in mind, but this wasn't it. LOL.  The original idea was for a friend with the saying that a nap was great at any time.  But this works for Father's Day too. 

The inside of the card states "Spend it any way you choose."  Who doesn't like the idea of getting permission to nap?

Happy Hopper Birthday

I've had this little happy hopper stamped and waiting for the right card to come along for him. I have a cd container that I repurposed and it now holds stamped images waiting to be coloured. 

When I saw this sketch from A Crafty Little Place, I knew my happy hopper had found his card.

My happy hopper didn't want to be an exact diamond though so I shaped him the best the image would allow.  I like the way he turned out.  I hope you do too.

And the inside of the card...
