I'm in a Retro Mood!

Well here is another set by Clear Art Stamps that has never been inked until tonight! This one is called "Coffee & Tea". I love these retro women! Reminds me of Donna Reed, June Clever, Betty Anderson and Lucy & Ethel! Still some of my favorite shows!!

Perk Up!

I can't even scan good! LOL!! This is so lopsided looking! Well, maybe it fits the, should we say occassion? After this past weekend, all but Joel and Emily have been sick with the flu! Not the achy flu, the whole thing flu! Ugly! This is a stamp set by Clear Art Stamps. I love this set and this is the first time I'v used it. Thought if was appropriate for us sickies. I had the retro paisley paper in my stash and have been waiting for a good time to use it. The ribbon is from ebay! I won this a long time ago when I was making corker bows for my granddaughter, Mariah. I cut this card 5x10, I wanted a square card instead of the typical a-2.
This was fun, always fun to play with stamps you haven't inked yet!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Friends are a Gift...

I made this card with a couple of stamps I bought from Loreen over at "Wish on a Scrap",(Link is on the left side of blog) you have to check her site out, just starting up and has some great deals! Also join her yahoo group for specials!!
I'm into circles! I love these flower pots by Stampendous! They are so fun to color. The sentiment came from Inkadinkado called Personal Impressions. I used my Marvy Jumbo punch for the scalloped circle and my coluzzle to cut the circles out. I still love my coluzzle!! Flowes are Prima's. I also embossed the green background with my swiss dots folder. I think this card turned out great with the spring colors~~

So true!!

I love this saying!! So true! When my kids were small everything was black and white! For example..Did you do that? YES OR NO? LOL Seems like that had to be the only thing that came out of my mouth for about 13 years! Funny how times change and life gets more color when you get older and have grandkids! How come when your grandkids do something its so cute! When your kids did the same thing, it wasn't cute at all!! I asked my son one time how old Mariah had to be to date. He told me ..
36! M, the one who never cleaned her room and now keeps a spotless house! Me, well I have to say, I miss the old days, when everything was black and white! There was never a dull moment! I miss those days!

Finally...Some Mojo!!

Don't Look MOM!!! This is my Mother's Day Card to my Mom. She is worth so much more than a card! There is not enough room on any card to tell her how special she is to me. We have been best friends as long as I can remember. She is my support system and always see's things in a bright and cheery light. I've lived by her saying..."All things Happen for a Reason" since I can remember. She is so awesome. She worked outside of the home for 40 years and raised a family. She is independent, self motivated and has the heart of GOLD. She can sew like a pro, cook like a chef, keep the cleanest house EVER! And love her family unconditionally. Beleive me, I think I gave her a few sleepless nights! She is the best gramma to Scott and M, and a great gramma to Mariah, Ethan and Reese! Who could possibly ask for more.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM!! I LOVE YOU!

Ethan & Reese

These are my two grandkids, Ethan and Reese. We were goofing around on the floor and Ethan went head to head with his little sister! Who wouldn't have fun with these two!!

What a weekend!!

I had the best weekend ever! My daughter Emily, her SO Alex and their children Ethan and Reese, me and hubby Joel all went up to my mom's this weekend! Its about a 250 mile drive from here but we had the best time. Big surprise for my daughter Emily, aka m, she got her diamond! It was a total shock to her, she knew she was getting it, just not when she was getting it!! Alex had some slides he had put on a DVD and on the last two, one said Emily, the next one said "WIll you marry me"! Threw her totally off and we were all crying and excited for them both! I knew about his plan all along and so I went along with everything he asked and it worked perfect! My DD is now sporting a gorgeous engagement ring! Then of course the grandkids were there and they are so fun. Today was just perfect out and we all went for a walk looking for agates! Ethan, who is 5, was really into finding agates. I helped him out just alittle by going in the shop and finding a coffee can full of them! Asked great gramma's permission if he could have them, and of course she is as soft as me, got his agates! Reese enjoyed being outside in the sunshine, really probably one of the first times she has actually been out in her life! She was born in Oct! She had so much fun. She is such a good baby! Smiles all the time. So what better way to spend a gorgeous weekend??
I am going to be making all of m's Save the Date cards and invitations for her wedding! I had 6 cards made up for her and Alex to choose from. They choose 3 out of the 6 and so its a go! So I will be busy creating for awhile! I made 2 of the save the date and they picked the one they liked. When I get going, I will post them so you can see!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

TooTweet...

This is Too Tweet by Pink Petticoat. I just love this little Tweet! I colored her with my Jelly Roll Stardust pens. I added a bling flower to the flower in her mouth! The umbrella and the sentiment are from MFT. Used my CB to emboss the background and some rikrac. I really like the pink and blue combo on this card. Wasn't to sure how it was going to turn out, but I like the end result! Can't say the sentiment is how I feel! We've had rain for 4 days now! So instead of coming this way, I wish it would go away!
Well the weekend is almost over. Another work week ahead. They seem to go awful fast!

Penelope...

This is Penelope by StampingBella. I recieved this in "Anything but a Bella" swap we had a while back. I think she is so cute! I used CS that I had in my stash pile and same with the DP. Colored her with my SU colored pencils and my water pen. Added a little bling to her hair. Cut out my ovals with my nesites, that I just got in the mail and LOVE THEM!! Enjoy is a Studio G stamp and baby flower is by Savvy Stamp.
I love the pink and orange together and my DP worked out great with my color scheme!
Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Glamour Puss...

I made this card this afternoon for a layout challenge at Pink Cat Studio yahoo group. I used the numbers CB embossing folder on the panels of the card. I thought with her glasses this made her look even more smart! This kitty is so darn cute! You could really glam her up!
Thanks for stopping by!
