We Flamin-Go Together

My husband and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary....I am such a lucky girl to be married to this amazing man and he is pretty lucky too!  LOL  I wanted to make him a fun card that I could write some mushy stuff in so I whipped up this cute little card using a Bella Blvd 3x4 journaling card.  I love using pocket page cards in my cardmaking....it makes the process easy-peasy.  I also used this Sugar Pea Designs Sketch and am entering it in their sketch challenge:

I am also entering this card over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge


Thanks for stopping by....have a wonderful day (even if it is a Monday)

Sending Canine Kisses

My friend Renata and I have been friends since 8th grade. She was my maid of honor in 1977.  She now lives in Florida also but a little further south of me.  We do however get together occasionally.  The last I saw her was in January.....that's when the above picture was taken.  We still act like goofy teenage girls when we get together.  It is her birthday this coming week (she is 3 months older than I am and I never let her forget it!).  Renata is an awesome person with a big heart and loves animals.  In fact she is very active in greyhound rescue. So I thought this card would be appropriate for her.

The image of the little girl with the puppy and the sentiment "Sending Canine Kisses" are from My Favorite Stamps and I also used their current sketch:

In addition to the MFT sketch challenge, I am also entering this card in Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge

That's it for now....hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am.

Happy Birthday Matt

Today is my oldest son's birthday.  To celebrate I made him this card.  I used the game controller background paper because we bought him and Xbox Elite controller for his birthday.  It was a little pricey but my husband said it was worth it.  We gave it to him early and he has been enjoying it immensely.


I used this awesome sketch from Viva La Verve for my card and I am linking it up to their sketch challenge.

Here is a picture of my son and his two darling girls.  I live 1000+ miles away from them but I am very excited to be going to visit them in 3 weeks.  In the meantime, I think I will call and sing happy birthday to Matt tonight.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happiest Place on Earth?

We took my granddaughter to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom when she was just 2 1/2 years old.  She clearly was not ready for the sensory overload, the crowds or standing in line.  We can laugh about it now but at the time it was not funny.  The next trip will be better.  To document this page I used this awesome sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

Thank you for checking out my layout....it is hump day so that means my work week is more than half over.....yay!!

Kick Up Your Heels & Celebrate

It is my little brother's birthday next week.  He lives in Michigan so I really need to get his card in the mail.  I came home after work today and knocked this one out before dinner.  It works best for me that way because often if I wait until after dinner I am too tired to be motivated and creative enough to get crafty.

Using this fun sketch from Your Next Stamp made this card rather simple to design.

I am also entering this card in the Tuesday Throwdown Anything Goes challenge.

Thanks for checking out my blog....I appreciate the visit.

On The Deck

I dug deep into my older stash for this collection from Authentique.  But I found this picture from a few years ago of my husband and a deck hand on the El Galleon when it was docked in St. Augustine.  I found the perfect sketch in one of the sketches over at Let's Get Sketchy:

Happy Birthday Cole

I am catching up on my birthday layouts for my grandchildren.  This page documents Cole's 8th birthday nearly 3 years ago.  I couldn't find any birthday themed papers in my stash that suited me (Note to self: must replenish birthday stash) so I went with using Echo Park's fun collection That's My Boy and a fun scripty birthday title.  I used Let's Get Sketchy's Week #3 sketch:

There is an awesome prize up for grabs this month and I hope to create pages with all the April sketches in order to maximize my chances of winning and also to get some great pages finished and in the books.  If you want to check out the sketches and the prize all the details are HERE
