My nephew's 16th birthday card...

Hello friends...

Here is the card I made for my nephew 16th birthday.

My husband so generously gave me one of his RC car tires to use as a stamp for the background paper.  The tread wasn't as detailed as I had envisioned but it did an ok job.  :)  My husband and son thought this was the most fabulous idea I had ever had.  LOL  I love the diamond plate embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  Thanks Ann for letting me borrow.  (Gonna use it on a Father's day card also.)  So you will get it back someday.  LOL  I really need to add this to my arsenal.  And of course my stamp came from The Stamps of Life words2color stamp.

Have a GREAT day!

Just some notes...

Hello everyone...

Friday I spent the day with one of my other CA's (craft-aholic) friends and played with just my scrap's.  Remember my last post where I organized all my scraps while I was camping.  Well turns out I have a ton of pieces that I have decided I am going to use up before I buy another piece of paper.  (Wishful thinking I am sure.) hehe  So I thought I am just going to make a bunch of note-cards and/or maybe an occasion if paper print permits.

Here are a few that I have started:

It is my baby boys 15th Birthday today.  We are celebrating tomorrow since my husband had to work today.  It is going to be a joint birthday for the only 2 boys (on my side of the family), my nephew turned 16 last week and his dad has been working out of town and will be back tomorrow.  I can't wait to share with you the card I made him.  But that will be for tomorrow.  I still haven't made my sons card ~ procrastinate much Terri????  haha  I'll be up all night as usual.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  And the weather is nice where you are.  We finally had sun these last few days.  Woo Hoo!  Got my first sunburn of the season.

Hugs to all!

WOW! Almost 200 followers! Hmmmmm?

Hello friends!

I just noticed that I am almost to 200 followers here on my little crafty blog.  Thank you so much to everyone who is following me.  I hope you are enjoying my little projects as much as I am making them.  :)  I really appreciate each and every one of you.

So I think I shall figure out another blog candy give away.  What do you think?  I know, I know, you would LOVE it!  LOL.  I know you all so well.  hehe  I will ponder this for a few days and see what I can come up with. Oh the anticipation.  Well technically I would have to reach 200 first.  :)

In the mean time...I will be making quite a few cards this week and should have at least one done and ready to share with you tomorrow.  So many GREAT events this month.  Considering we just got back from our first little summer vacation I better get busy.  How I wish I could pack up my craft room and take it with me.  I did manage to take my scrap box and completely organize it.  Funny how I found papers I totally forgot that I had.  :)

I totally forgot my SD card at home and only had my Iphone to take pics.  Ugh!  Considering it was storming here in my neck of the woods, the weather was perfect (except for the 2 dust storms...typical for the high desert) here at Sand Mountain.  My guys had a fabulous time playing in the sand.  :)

Sand Mountain, NV

I couldn't believe the crazy storms that were going on here at home and over the Donner Pass.  We weren't sure we were going to make it home. (Only because they required chains and we didn't have any.)  Luckily we did. So funny how here in CA you get a little snow and they want to shut down the roads or keep you off because of no chains.  Really???  I know my friends that live in the snow laugh about this.  And I agree it's silly.     

OK, well I am off to get some sleep so I can get up bright and early and get to making some cards.  YAY!  I missed my little crafty room.

Have a GREAT day!

I won! I won!

Bridal Shower Invitations...

Hi everyone...

I made these little beauties for my Best friends soon to be daughter-in-law's bridal shower.

This was a little tricky for me but I managed to figure out a way to print with my printer and cut with my cutting machine using an .svg file I found here at SVG Place.  This is a beautiful file by Loni Harris.  I used the dressform.svg file and resized to fit the information.  I embossed the bodice with the Victorian embossing folder. I wrapped tulle (a 10" circle folded in half) and tied around the waste with ribbon.  I used all the colors of the wedding.

Hugs,
