My niece's 14th Bday...

Hello Crafty Friends!

Yesterday was my niece's 14th Bday!!!  Wow!  Time is sure flying!  Here is a little card I made her...

Sorry they are a little blurry!  Camera was not having a good day...lol!  Or bad lighting??  Something like that.  hehe!

A little guitar...

Hello Crafty Friends!

My nephew turned 18 in June!!!  Where has the time gone???

I made him this little guitar card from an idea I saw on Pinterest.  (I know, imagine that??)  I can't help myself.  LOL!  If you click on the link "idea" you can get more information.  :)  I went to that site then on to Google images and then and then....  There are lot's of ideas out there.  Here is what I came up with.  I found the template here.  I changed it up a little bit for the look I was going for and the size.  :)

That's our dog Bear and Brady's (my son) guitar in
the backdrop.  Bear loves when Brady plays.  :)

My nephew and son started playing guitar in 7th (Brady) 8th (Jared) grade.  We had a wonderful young man named Josh who was a great guitarist and guitar teacher who was still in high school himself at the time. Needless to say both my nephew and son are still avid guitarists in their own rights and owe it all to Josh.  I could listen to them play all day.

Happy 18th Jared!!!

Thank you son!

Hello Crafty Friends!!  

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. I've been busy with loads of wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, birthday, etc etc invitations projects. 

One of the things I've been missing is my laptop and all of my svg and digi files. You don't know how much you use them until you can't get to them. UGH!  My laptop has been down a few months now. 

Fortunately my son had an idea and luckily it worked!  Yay!  He took the hard drive from the laptop and hooked it up to the pc and got ALL my files and saved projects up and saved to my external hard drive. I'm soooo happy. What a smart kid. :) while we were at it we did all of our pics and music too. 

Now I'm going to go through and reminisce. Haha!  

Have a great day!

Bridal Shower Invitations...

Hello Crafty Friends!

Here is a cute little bridal shower invitation I made for a friend using the WPlus9 stamp set Love Bird and Love Birds die.  The whole theme was Love Birds.  Super cute!  (The wedding announcements are lovebirds too!  I'll be sharing those with you later in the month.)  ;)

Kristine made this yummy lemon cake with the
lovebirds topper.  :)

Totally need to catch up...

Hello My Crafty Friends!

I totally forgot to post this Mother's Day card I made, you know, back on Mother's Day!!  Duh!  I just came across the pic.  I told you it has been crazy busy around her this year.  LOL!

A rose for my mom.  :)

I did that technique, you know the one...where you cut out the flower stamp and lay it on your cardstock and stamp on top of it with the wording stamp.  You know so it looks like one stamp.  LOL!  It is really late and I am having one of  "THOSE" nights!  Ugh!  I know there is a technical term, but for the life of me I can't remember it.  LOL!  Someone help me out here please.  HA HA!

Well at least I did give it to my mom before Mother's Day.  :)

Chelsea's Graduation!

Hello My Crafty Friends!!!

We have our very first college graduate.  We are so proud of our daughter Chelsea.  She has worked really hard these last 4 years.  She has matured into one wonderful young woman.   :)  We are so proud of her!!!! She is going to continue on her journey and get her Master's degree this fall.  So in 2 more years we will have another celebration.  Yay!!

Here is a card I made for her that I got the idea from, you guessed it, Pinterest.  You can find it here at Hero Arts  Super easy to make.  And I just so happened to have just got that stamp set.  :)  I had 4 graduation/promotions in one week, whew it was a busy week.  LOL!

Congratulations Chelsea!  We love you and are so very proud of you!!

Until next time my crafty friends...
