Serenade!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far and I know I am excited again its almost that time for Serenade with Flowerdiso and Friends!! We are on week 4 it is flying by! I love being tested on using a certain image. It is really helping me try new things.

I have been really busy this week with doctor appointments and Vet appointments with my Bosco who is doing great! I even got him a Halloween costume.. I have never done that before but I just couldnt help myself! Last year we sat outside with him and handed out candy and the kids just loved him so when I saw this little outfit I just had to get it!

I have a friend that found out a few weeks ago that she has breast cancer. So I have been working on a project for her. Please let me know what you guys think??!! I know she is having good days and bad ones and I cant even begin to imagine what it would feel like. A few weeks ago some friends had her a hat and scarf party and I know they had a blast. I did not get to go because she lives pretty far and the drive would just do me in. So I am sending a package to her at the end of the week with some things I have picked up for her. I just want her to know how much she is loved and that I and many others are here for her no matter what.

So here is my project... I found this stamp on Ebay and just had to have it! I used flower soft (Love this stuff) to make the bouquets of flowers and then cut the butterfly from the Sentamentals Cartridge.

This project was just in time to enter over at My Sheri Crafts! Its breast cancer awarness month and I just had my first mamogram. Umm those HURT! Im such a baby LOL. I did that on Friday but have not heard anything yet so I am going with it must be ok since I have not heard from them :)

Thank you Thank you!

Thank you to all my new friends! Thank you for following me. I get excited everytime someone else does! Hot Dog!

Week 3- Playing with Serenade with Flowerdisco and Friends!

Week 3 already!! This is going so fast! !!


For week 3 I had image 20. First off I want to say that sometimes its difficult to have an image to work with. Some of these images are not ones I would pick when doing my own stuff so this has really pushed me to use my creative juices!


Image 20 is I think a flower of some kind? haha Well it looks like some kind of flower to me :) I wasnt sure how much I would like this cut until I actually started cutting and adding the layers and colors to it. I must say I will use this image again!!


So here is my take on our journey this week...










The card is cut at 5 X 7 and the flower is cut at 3. The paper is from DCWV linen stack :) I love the colors in this card stuck. All light blues and blue greens.



I just got a couple of the martha stewart punch around the page punches. I LOVE them. This one is sooooooo cute! I have been using it on everything I can find to punch and then some. I think maybe my husbands legal briefs might need to be punched around the edge? What do you guys think??!! I think a judge would LOVE to get a brief that was punched and decorated. hmmm on second thought I better not.. I just got married and I dont want to get divorced already :)




Ok so on with the tour...... We are all so awesome!!! Check out all my new friends and the beautiful creations they have made!!! Please leave us comments its so nice to know that you like or dont like something we do.. Ok please like it LOL!

For my hubby...

My hubby had to take a trip to NY last week for work. I dont know the details but he had to go argue a case.. He was only gone one night but I missed him so much! Ok yes we are still so happy in love.. We were married in Nov. so not even a year ago so we are still on the honeymoon :) We have been together 8 years and they have been the happiest 8 years of my life!! He treats me like a princess and spoils me rotten. He is supportive and loving no matter what it is I am doing from doing volunteer work in prison (bridgestolife.org) or crafting with my cricut.


So... the other night I knew he would be leaving early in the AM and I am such a night owl I knew I could stay up until he was up at 4 am (honestly thats about my bedtime lol). He is so not a morning person so I thought it would be nice to make him some muffins for his trip. So I baked him some muffins and then I decided to make him a card to go with the muffins and I came back to work and came up with this cute litte card..







I used my new peachy keen stamps! I love the little faces! You can do all sorts of things with them! If you have not already checked them out you should!

The little chocolate chips I made using hotfix gems. I do not have any copic markers and I do want some but for now I used some water color pencils I picked up the other day to start trying to learn to add my own coloring to my projects! The Sentiment and inside font I welded together using the gypsy font ( my favorite font).





This card goes well with the challange over at My Sheri Crafts Challange # 24.. This week it is to do a "masculine" project. hehe.. Check it out everyone :) Its hard to make cards for the guys.. I know this one took me a bit to come up with :)



Just wanted to share a few of our wedding pics.. My husband is so very handsome (shh dont tell him he might get a big head) lol!














I love this picture my niece was my flower girl and she is such a mess LOL! She posed every chance they gave her! Ham I tell ya!

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi Everyone :) Its that time again!!! Time to share all the amazing work that these ladies have done with the cuts from this cart. Talk about thinking outside the box!!! I am so glad to be part of this awesome group!!

I am a little slow posting so thank you all for your patients :) Between the flood, the hurt dog and both my volunteer programs started I have been running all week and find a groove to get it all done :)

Well once again I am going to share mine... I will not claim to be the maker of these I dont know who it is... I am in a card swap group and someone made this card to share and I just knew I would want to give it a try! Perfect timing I had the flower pot to work with.

Instructions: I cut two 5 in flower pots. I would have used the gypsy to weld and I suppose you can but this worked the best for what I was going for. Ok so cut two flower pots 5 inches

Then Glue around all the endges EXCEPT the top :) Then Cut a stip of paper 4x3 This is the card on the inside of this card.

Then I took plenty of prima flowers for added touch...

This card is super easy I think :) A Big Thank you to whomever came up with this idea its super cute!!

My poor Puppy and a card I made for a card swap

My baby (cocker spaniel) has had some back problems. About two years ago he ended up having back surgery he had two bulging disks :( Well he has been ok actually doing really well until the first part of this week. I noticed he was falling gown more than normal ( he usually falls he has aleays been very clumsy. Took him to the vet Yesterday and they took him into surgery last night. Luckily he did very well and hopefully can come home to me tomorrow. I spent a few hours with him I just sat in the floor and held him. :)

On another note I wanted to post a picture of a card that I made for my card swap.

When we picked this series we also split up the pages we were to use.

My first Image to use is the rain cloud number 7 in the list. I always look for the rainbow that is often found following a dark cloud!!! So that is what inspired me to do this card...

The card is cut at 5 :) I used the latte pack from DCWV I just love all the dark colors Well its rainy colors!

I wanted to use a new (ok well new to me) idea. I had several packages the cricut markers! They are so simple! Just take out the housing and place the tiny marker inside and thats IT! :) EASY!!!!

Ok so here are the wonderful designs from all the ladies :) ENJOY
