Keep Your Fin Up!

My husband and I work together and we have a co-worker who is battling cancer. I wanted to design a masculine encouragement card that would not make light of his situation but one that would also make him smile. I paired up this sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Mermaids Kisses stamp set with the shark paper from an older Bella Blvd collection....Max. And I think it works well.  I even decorated the inside of the card which I rarely do.....

I think I will enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge and also in the Clique Kit February Anything Goes Challenge.

Thank you for coming by my blog.

A Night To Forget

Last September, the night before I had my breast cancer surgery, my hubby took me to one of our favorite places in Central Florida -- Universal City Walk.  It was the perfect diversion from the uncertainty of the next day. My husband took some awesome pictures that evening and I wanted to document the night. This 2 page layout from Let's Scrap was perfect:

Wake Up & Be Awesome

I love to create coffee themed card and I am in a group where we swap coffee themed cards every month....I love making and sending mine out and I especially love receiving one every month. This month I was a little late in getting my card created and mailed. I think it will arrive at it's destination before the end of the month. I used this awesome sketch from Kerry Urbatch:

First I Do the Coffee....

I make no secret (or apologies) for my addiction to coffee. I love it. And I love to use it as a theme in my card making. I am not alone....there are a great many of us Coffee Lovin' Cardmakers. In fact there is a blog for us and I used one of the Sunday Sip and Share sketches from the fabulous Kerry Urbatch for this card:

Thanks for stopping by....have a delightful weekend.

Paintball Warriors

I found an older photo of my oldest grandson and youngest son playing paintball several years ago.  Jacob is now 15 years old and like most teenage boys, he does not like having his picture taken anymore. I desperately need to fill his scrapbook so it is even somewhat close to as full as his younger brother's album so I was really happy to come across this photo.

I used this sketch from DCWV:

I am entering this page in their February Stack-a-Holic sketch challenge. All the papers are from the Guy Stack. I used the leftover papers on the birthday card I made for my dad.  You can see that card HERE

Thanks for stopping by....there is still a few days left if you want to join me in the DCWV sketch challenges. I will be back tomorrow with a coffee themed card....my favorite current trend.

85!!

My Dad is turning 85 the end of this week. Isn't that amazing? He just recently moved down here to Florida from Denver to be closer to us. He built a beautiful new home and we have been helping him get all moved in and unpacked. But this weekend we will be celebrating instead of unpacking moving boxes. I made him this card.  I used this awesome sketch from Freshly Made Sketches which DCWV is featuring for their February Stack-Aholic challenge

I actually made this card from the paper leftovers from a layout that I will be sharing with you tomorrow so please come back and check it out.  I rather like it. I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge.
 

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I will be back with another post tomorrow.

Uncle Adam Rocks

Last fall, my son Adam kept my son Matt's girls over night.  The girls love going over to their uncle's house and hanging out with their cousins and seeing their grandfather and Uncle Adam is a lot of fun. I was thrilled when Adam posted this picture. Living 1000 miles away from family I am dependent on social media for most of my material to scrap.

I used this sketch from Clique Kits and entered their February challenge.

Well that is about it for tonight...it is Monday and I am pretty worn out on Monday evenings.  But I will be back tomorrow with a card to share. Thanks for stopping by.
