It's a Mojo Monday 162!!

More like Mojo Friday for me :o)

This is the first time I've decided to play along at Mojo Monday's and follow their sketch for the week, we'll see how long I can keep this up for. Today I'm using my "Fleur Anya" from The Greeting Farm. She's so cute bright and colorful. Was not really sure if I wanted it as a birthday card so I decorated the inside but I still don't have a saying on the inside. Stop on over and visit their site, look at all the other wonderful creations. The paper stack I used was the Citrus Stack by DCWV, I have so many paper packs, I need to keep stamping and creating, they have to go down eventually. LOL

Enjoy the Anya card!!!

Fall Break

Yesterday was the start of "Fall Break" for my son Louie, so I decided to take some time off with him. Mainly to drive him from one place to another. This year we really didn't take any vacation since we bought the house, but maybe next year. We'll see. So I'm going to try and dedicate this time to making cards now that the house is nice and clean and the clothes are washed, the kids are fed and the doggie is napping. I made this little guy he is also from "The Greeting Farm", the stamp set is the OA My favorite things. Still learning how to color hair and faces, obviously I'm not there yet, but hopefully in just a few more weeks of practice, I will master this. I have to master it. I need to watch more youtube videos.

Enjoy the new card!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone. Currently watching "The Next Food Network Star", I need to stop watching some of these shows, it makes me hungry. Tomorrow I'm also starting my first day or waking up early and running in the morning. Wish me luck!!!! I want to try and run a 5K this year, we'll see how that goes. So this evening, I've been still working with my "OA My Favorite Thing" stamp, I like to call her my Strawberry Shortcake stamp. Changed her up a little by giving her blonde hair and also adding some glitter. Glitter comes a long way. I added glitter to the card I shared with you yesterday, and it just made the whole thing pop. I also worked on coloring some images this evening. Hope to put those cards together this evening. Enjoy the new card!!

Strawberry Shortcake

I'm loving having the new stamp store in Dyer Indiana " Stamp N Scrap Ink". I've been able to buy specialty stamps that I normally order online from them. It's been pretty sweet. Trying to control myself though. One of our local businesses that has been open for 15 years is now closing, "Once Upon a Time", they have a lot of scrapbooking paper and accessories. Everything is 50% off til the end of the year.

So tonight I made a "Strawberry Shortcake" inspired card. The stamp set is the OA-My Favorite Thing from "The Greeting Farm". I had to get the stamp, it reminded me so much of Strawberry Shortcake and bought back my doll smell and the cartoons. Did you have a Strawberry Shortcake Doll that smelled like strawberries? I did, and I loved it. I think I can also dress her like rainbow bright, maybe somehow replace her strawberries and the color.

Enjoy the card.....

Happy Father's Day

Hey All - Happy Friday!!! Man this has been a LOOOOOOOOOONNNGGGGG week. With it being cloudy and rainy all week, makes me kinda miserable. But I'm looking forward to a wonderful weekend, nice and hot. I've been working on Father's Day cards all week, making a few every night. Making sure I have spare cards, for last minute buyers. This year I wanted to make Father's Day a spectacular event, Mother's Day is always such a feast.

So we are taking my Father and older brother out to dinner at "Mi Tierra", in Chicago. My father has been going crazy trying to get a reservation there. Not sure what the big deal is, we make Mexican food at home everynight. But I guess the great thing is, my mom and I won't be cooking... So it's a great day for us too :o)

Enjoy the weekend!
