Sharing In Your Sorrow

Sadly, this past weekend one of our neighbor's mother passes away. I made this card for her just to let her know we are thinking about her during this difficult time, especially since she just passed a day or two before Mother's Day. This is a mostly Stampin' Up! card. The d.p. is called Walk In The Park. I added some bridal confetti flowers and used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

Another Trip To The ER

I foresee a lot more emergency room visits in my future. Most of you know that I have 3 very active boys, so spending yesterday in the ER with Cameron probably comes as no surprise to you. If you remember he was just there in the fall getting stitches in his chin. This time, he went through our back door and cut himself up pretty good. He is very, very lucky. There were 3 of us adults standing there helping him "get out" of the glass so he didn't cut himself worse. Because of all of the blood I really couldn't tell how bad things were, so I took him to the emergency room just to be on the safe side. Once they cleaned him up they just glued the cuts shut. The (very good looking) ER doctor said that since the glass cut only 2 layers of skin instead of 3 stitches weren't needed. Hopefully he learned a lesson from this, and on the bright side I get a new back door out of the deal! I've been wanting one for a while now. lol Happy Mother's Day!!

Graduation Day

Today my stepmom and cousin graduate from collage. Because of other commitments we have tomorrow, we won't be celebrating with them but these are the cards that I made for them. I had a sheet of Sandy Lion d.p. that had the notebook feel to it, so I paired that up with my Martha Stewart butterfly punch. The congratulations sentiment is from the Congrats SAB set and the flourishes in the corner are from theYummy SAB set. TGIF!!

Mojo Monday Mother's Day Card

You are probably tired of seeing Mother's Day cards, but I have a lot of special moms in my life. This card is using Julee's Mojo Monday sketch for this week. I used Good Morning d.p. on this one. Another simple card. Took less than 10 minutes to put it all together, but these days that's about all I have to spare! Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Well, it is May 5th already! Cinco de Mayo. Not that that's a big deal in our house, but the kids always learn about it at school. Tonight for dinner I'm going to make chicken enchiladas and fried ice cream! Trying to bring a little culture into our house! lol

I have another Mother's Day card to share with you today. This one uses the Parisian Breeze d.p. along with my Martha Stewart butterfly punch.Very plain, very simple.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Pray

Good Monday morning! Our weekend was great. Friday night we went to the cottage. It was raining so we were stuck inside, but we still had fun. Saturday was Cameron's last basketball game. Now it's on to t-ball for Carter. Yesterday was our nephew's First Communion. We had some time to kill before church so we went to the park to take a few pictures. The lighting wasn't the best that time of day, but none the less it was a beautiful morning. And this was the card I made for my nephew. I don't own a religious set. I had to make do with what I had, but I liked the way it turned out! How was your weekend?

Happy Mother's Day!

Can you believe it is May 1st already? Where does the time go?

This is one of the cards I made for Mother's Day. I used the Top Note Die for the Rose Red piece. The stamps set is Thoughts and Prayers. The sentiment if from TAC from a long time ago. I don't even know what the set is called. I added some tiny adhesive pearls to the center of the flowers and tied on an Old Olive ribbon.

Any big plans for you this weekend? Tonight we are going to the cottage to cookout and fish. Tomorrow Cameron has his last basketball game, and Sunday my nephew has his First Communion. Busy, Busy! TGIF!!
