Squirrel!!

I know.  I can imagine that you are saying that I need to stop making and posting cards.  I really do.

But did you ever find yourself getting distracted by everything?  This is me today.  I'm SUPPOSED to be cleaning the house in anticipation of my company's visit buuuut, I somehow ended up in my art studio, crafting.

I came down to put nerf gun bullets in their container down here (which frankly, is it just me or do these suckers multiply overnight?!!  I find them in the weirdest places) anyway, long story short, I haven't gone back to the vacuum cleaner yet!

I wanted to try out the sketch over on the Bugaboo blog and use Morning Margaret.  I  rotated the sketch and left off the brads 'cause my card was already pretty busy.  I love how this card came out

Helllooooooo!

Happy Birthday to the eldest boy in the house.  I'm happy that the "cradle-robber" comments can stop since we are the same age again.

I'm using a Doodle Pantry image for my card.  THIS particular one is no longer available, Laurie has replaced it with the much cuter Happy Birdie 2 which is currently free!!  The new image is nearly the same except that it's a mirror image (and there are sentiments included).  Run over and snag it.

I'm also entering the Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge.  It was cute and fit the image.

SSW2-86: Fresh Brewed Designs

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2  blog. This week we are sponsored by Fresh Brewed Designs.  Heather is offering her usual great prize of a three free digi-images from her shop.

I'm using Frosty Hugs and Kisses - No Frame for my card.  This image comes with TWO images, one with a frame and one without.

I used quite a bit of glitter on these two cuties.  You can't see it in the photo, but, in real life, they shimmer like vampires outside in the sun!!

Come join in the fun!

Happy Birthday Favorite Oldest Child!

Thirteen years ago I became a mom for the first time (I'm going to admit to a few weepy tears this morning!)  Phew, what a wild ride it's been, but I wouldn't change my life for anything.

We went to Zootopia to celebrate.  OK, I made him go.  If it had been left up to him, we would have celebrated  the day sleeping til' noon,  eating cheese whiz (blah, is that even food?), and playing Playstation all day.

When we left the theater, he said, "That was surprisingly good." So there you have it, Zootopia is surprisingly good.

In other news, I made a card to join in the sketch challenge over on the From The Heart blog.  I rotated the sketch to fit the image.  I used Doggone Birthday because I thought the birthday boy might like it.

TMS: You're Amazing!

I needed a quick thank you card to send my aunt and uncle.  Not only did they feed my crew fabulous meals, but my uncle took my two wild indian boys out to the lake to fish!  This gave my aunt and I time to antique and spend time together.  ((Sigh))  Heaven!!

The good news is that the youngest did NOT hook anyone's face like last time (OUCH!) but the bad news is that he DID fall into the lake.  Uncle Don is sooo patient with him!!  Thanks for a great time!

I'm using the sketch from the Tuesday Morning Sketches site and one of the maze states from the Doodle Pantry site.  So far Laurie has mazes made for Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.  I'm hoping to get an Arizona maze soon.  They are super fun.

Sketch Saturday: Best Friend

Good morning sketch fans!

It's Saturday so that means it's time for a new sketch over on the Sketch Saturday blog.  We have a fun new sketch as well as a great prize from our sponsor...Bunny Zoe's Crafts.  She is offering our winner the prize of a £10 gift certificate.

The sketch is fun, and one that I'm sure to use again.  I'm using the image from my monthly image challenge.  It's Birdie Brown's You're Super
 
Come join the fun!

Of Course I "Carrot" It's Your Birthday!

I needed another birthday card. There are so many important March birthdays for me: Hubby, Son, Great Nephew, and many friends.  I used this cutie from Gerda Steiner.  It's the monthly challenge image: Carrot Bunny.  I'll get the next month's image for free since I used it.

I'm off to get another cup of coffee.  This time change business just knocks me out.  I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of it.  I don't know my exhaustion is real or simply because I grew up in Arizona without it and I'm having trouble getting used to it.

Have a great Wednesday friends.

Oh, before I forget, I'm submitting my card to Jeannie's "Go Green" challenge over on her blog.
