Fantabulous Cricut!

So FINALLY tonight I had time to sit down and just have some fun and do a project for a challange. I checked around and decided that I really love the stuff over at Fantabulous Cricut site. Its so much fun and I just love all the ideas that they have! So check them out everyone!







Here is my entry..







I cut the card to be 5 x 7. Then the frame on the card was cut at 4x5 . The birds were from Straight From the Nest.







Straight From The Nest pages 28 and 29



Trees from pages 38 cut at 4



I added some bling just because I couldnt help myself!!



The phrase of the front is " a little birdy told me." This came from Robyn over at My Pink Stamper. I LOVE this set. Its the tweety hoo set! AWESOME! Check it out!



The phrase inside was from a stamp I had already!




Hope you all are doing great and ready for all the fun that Christmas brings!




Hugs!!

For my father-in-law

My husbands dad is very sick :( He has had a minor heart attack and some fluid on his lungs. He has been in the IC for a few days and they are moving him tomorrow to hospice care :( They said they cant do much else for him since they are afraid to have him undergo another surgery. We are driving down tomorrow to go see him and I wanted to make a card that would cheer him up ! SO here it is :) I used the Nifty Fifties for this card. I LOVED this car image! I used the Cruisin from the same page.Page 46 and the other words I used the gypsy font and welded them together using the gypsy. I made them very large because he has a hard time seeing so I wanted to make this big enough he could read it! I hope you all like it. I decided this car needed a road so I kinda made that up as I went LOL!!

This week will be my first wedding anniversary!!! OMG! Its gone by soooo fast! Today was our 9 years that we met :) How sweet is that!! I really have my prince charming. I dont know what I would do without him. He is the perfect balance for my insaneness :) hehe poor guy!

Finale -Playing with Serenade with Flowerdisco and Friends!

Fantabulous Cricut is having a great Halloween challange this week!

If you click on the picture it will take you to the challange :) Or at least I think it will haha!

What a busy month this has been! Its just FLYING by :) I am half way done with my prison groups and that is both good and bad. When its over I have to say goodbye to them forever. Its hard after sharing some of the most emotional times of our lives with each other. God is all over that let me tell ya! Tonight one of our guys told his story and it was just heart breaking! Im not making any excuses for what he did but I dont know how he manage to survive. Anyway, he broke down and so did I.





I just dont understand why people are so bad to others. It just makes me so sad to think that this is what the world is about now. Each man for himself. Anyone gets in the way you push them out of the way.





Ok off subject LOL Sorry I just needed to vent and dont ask me why I did it here :)





Ok so the challange this week is something for Halloween!! I am in a card exchange group and every month we exchange cards and I made a halloween card. I used the tree from Happy Hauntings cut at 3 inches. I used a punch by martha stewart for the dripping blood (evil laugh). Added a few little places with bling and there you have it!

3X3 Trading cards!

If anyone would like to trade just let me know :) I will send mine if you will send me yours? I didnt realize how fun it is to trade them :) So just let me know if you want to do it!

I went to that Swarm in Houston and we all traded cards and here are pics of all the WONDERFUL new friends I made :)

Its that time again! Just wait for Wednesday! We are going to Rock your Socks off!

Hi everyone.. Boy have I much to share :) This has been such a crazy busy week!! First, I want to say that this is the last week for the playing with Serenade Group :( That makes me sad! I have had so much fun with it. Not sure what I will do next but I can say that I have learned so much from these talented ladies :) It has been my pleasure to call them friends! Thank you ladies !

Some of you might know that I stopped working in Feb. because my quality of life was not very good. I was working and that was all I had the energy for. I was not able to do all the things I love to do when I worked. I in no means am letting the things that are wrong with me stop me from doing everything I want. I now have the energy to do it since work is not an issue. This last week was Customer Service week. I was the supervisor of a call center and I LOVED CS week!!! So this week everyday I have baked goodies and made cards and such for the guys and gals that I love like family. One of the ladies asked me what I was doing and said I didnt have to do that since I didnt work for them anymore. My reply was just because I stopped working didnt mean I stop loving them all! haha I make a terrible boss. I have no boundaries LOL! Anyway, so I baked cupcakes, cookies, candy :) So that kept me pretty busy.

My daughter was also here for a few days and it was so nice to spend time with her. She makes me tried but its so worth it!!
I also had a banquet for Bridge to Life to attend. They do this once a year so we can get money for the books and such for the men and women in prison. It is nice to spend time with other volunteers and also meet people in our community that are interested in the program. We need the help. I sat at a table with such a wonderful group :) I told my story at the table and I really hope that I moved them! I know that some of them looked pretty shocked when I told them about going to meet the man that murdered my brother and being able to forgive him. WHOAA!

THEN, haha if that did not keep me busy enough I went to Houston on Saturday for a cricut swarm. We met with Michael (cant remeber his last name) the president of the cricut circle :) No I cant tell you what all we talked about but he was wonderful with us! He was so kind and helpful answering all the questions he could :) They also gave away an imagine!!!!!!!!!!! I want one sooooooooo bad!!!!!! I did win a cricut brown and pink apron! I love it :) We have fun meeting everyone! I will post pictures of the calling cards I collected from that day and post them ASAP.

So now its time for me to try to get caught up around the house and get rested for this week!

Hugs to you all!

The AMAZING Flowerdisco and her Fabulous Awesome Outrageous Beautiful Totally Crazy Friends!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! What a wonderful time to be alive :) I feel so rushed crazy running around like a chicken with his head cut off but I feel ALIVE! Isnt that the important part?

Tonight I told my story for about 80-85 men and about 20 volunteers. I was as ready as I would ever be! I am I stood tall (err ok not very tall Im only 5ft LOL but I tried to appear taller) and I just started talking. Before I knew it was over! ! You would think that the more I tell my story the easier it would get but no such luck yet. I do pray that my story will change just one life just one! It would be so totally worth it!

Ok so this is going to be one super crazy busy week for me. First this and then tomorrow I have a banquet for Bridges to Life. End of year fundrasing type thing. After that I have some goodies to drop off with all my friends who work for Lone Star Overnight. They work HARD and its CS week so I am taking them some goodies every day this week! Tomorrow is cookies and other stuff!

Ok now on to the reason for this season...

The ladies did a fab job on these cards this week. Thank you !!!!!
