I'm back...well been back

Hello peeps.  I am back in blog land.  We have been getting so much rain that my front entry has flooded a few times over.  But we are better than most of the others that have been effected by all this rain here in Texas. So I shall not complain.  I made 2 cards today.  One for my DH for our 25th Anniversary on This Tuesday, and the 2nd is a Thank You for my Mom for helping me to have a surprise party at her home Tuesday evening.  And the big surprise is that we have a friend that is an ordained minister so he is going to assist us in renewing our vows, just hoping DH agrees, or it might be a bit embarrassing.  But I am sure he'll be all over it and very surprised.  I have never got to surprise him ever so if he knows anything he's being very quiet about it!  Any way here is the card for my Mom: 

 And now for the card for my DH, I hope he likes it!  I tried to use our colors from our wedding on it too.  Also played a bit in pic monkey and thought I'd share pic too......Let me know what you think!

 So that's was my day of card making.  I need to make a few Thank you cards for the friends that will be attending the surprise party so will share them once I get them done probably later today or tomorrow.  
Have nice Sunday evening, I know I will b/c I will be watching PSB love thier Sunday evening line ups.........

Until Next Time'

Card Swap with Society of Stampoholics

HI everyone.  I participated in the April Card Chain over at Society of Stampaholics.  I received a lovely card from Joy, in Ohio and it is the first one below.  I sent the card I made to Dawn, in Australia.  I use bazzil CS and The flower stamp is from Power Poppy, I absolutely adore these stamps.  I colored with copics and then added some bling and then decided at the last moment to add some glossy accents to the flowers and it looked awesome, but it is hard to see in the picture.  And now for the cards.

                                   From Joy, In Ohio to Me

To Dawn in Australia from me

Accordian Card, my 1st one

Hello crafty peeps.  I ran over to my Mom's and used her camera to snap a picture of this accordian card I made for my niece's up coming birthday.  I have had this die form Elizabeth Craft for almost a year and decided it was time to put it to use.  I used outline sticker on sookwang, type of dble sided tape.  Then colored them with Copics and stuck them to the card. Sentiment is from Power Poppy, love their stamps!

Did the card in my niece's favorite colors, blue, green and yellow.  Well it was fun to make and I am very happy with the end product... Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful evening.

Also entering in the following challenges:

    Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Outlaws Color Challenge - Tuesday  Color Challenge

Until next time

No card pics!

Well hello all.   I am not a happy camper, my awesome little camera that I have had for 11 years has decided to stop working!  Not good!  So I can not at the moment post pics of a few cards I have made lately. But instead I am going to share a few pics taken before the camera up and decided to not work.  These are of some beautiful wild flowers here in Central TX, called bluebonnets, they bloom almost every April and this year they are lovely.  They are our state flower also, aren't they just to pretty......... Enjoy!

Well this is it for now.  Guess I need to find that darn cable for the camera or buy a new camera. Drats!  Have a fun week all.

Until next time

Vellum Birthday Card

Hello Again.  Just popping by to show you another Vellum Card I made.  Found a few minutes to finish it up and I am very happy with it.  Cut blue C/S for card base the did all the vellum work, colored back side of flowers and leafs with colored pencil and added a few tiny blue bling to flower middles.  I used Zot glue dots to attach to front of card.  This went out in the mail today for an online carding friend who has a birthday coming up next week.  Hope she loves it......

Well that's it for today and probably until next week.  I am helping Mom move into her new duplex rest of this week.  So not much time for me to create.  

Until next time
