Spring time in Paris

OK With out any further ado here are My Spring time in Paris cards. I have been trying to get them up all week, However with all the rain and flooding that we have had it has been a messy week. I have had to mop up water twice and there is nothing that can be done to stop the flooding in my family room until late spring. Once the rain stops and it gets warm we can try and fix the problem for good, Abby keeps saying we have a river flowing in our family room.

Happy Birthday

I Want to color Eggs Mommy.

So this is what Abby had to say to me when I boiled eggs. I want color eggs today. This was Fri Feb 25 all the kids in Huber here out of school due to bad weather. So I told her sure why not might has well have something to do other than watch TV. So we colored EGGS...  So I forgot to get Pics of her coloring the eggs however I did get a great Idea. I ran and got her a piece of water color canvas paper and an old paint brush and let her have it painting with the egg color dies.

I mean why not it was way cooler than using finger paint and the colors where so brightly pastel and the color was not going to fade like finger paint. My Mom and I where so surprised by how bright and pastel the color where. She got the biggest kick out of her hands being stain with the die all different colors. But that didn't  last, by the next day her hands where back to normal.

So I have my new set of cards made up for Simply design team and I did have spring in mind. I know I am NOT alone in wanting warmer weather and wanting it NOW...

Moxie Fab World Paper piecing

I love to Paper piece and when My Best Friend Nickie Eccles told me about Moxie Fab World I knew I just had to play too.....

I have a lot of little details going on in this card. I used scraps of paper to paper piece the bird, flowers and leaves. I wanted the to add some extra pieces to the branches so by stamping it out and cutting it apart I was able to get the look that I was after. The bird and branch stamp is from from Memory Box. The bike is a stamp as well from Hero Arts stamps. The rocks I stamped out on a piece of paper colored and cut them out to lay randomly on the ground. The rocks are a stamp from IO (impression obsession). The Sun was cut from my slice I also cut the green grass part from hand and the words "Here Comes the Sun" Where typed and printed out on velum.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

1st Merry Christmas to all..

 It has been a very busy December for me. I Had my first show Handmade Dayton in the Cannery Downtown the first weekend in Dec. What a blast it was. I was a little intimated at first but Thanks to my Friend Nicky (sunnyskyecreations.blogspot.com) She showed me the ropes and what a great time it was too. We Shared a booth and had a wonderful time meeting new people.

So the very next weekend I did another show called the Santa Shop at Dance Etc. It was a lot of fun meet some great people there as well and got a lot of orders for my Neckwarmers/Cowls

So I am ready to go at this again next year. Thanks to all of you who came out and supported us.

Thanksgiving is upon us.....

I hope that everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. My DD had a great time.


Now that Thanksgiving is near, I think that we all start to count our blessing though we do so all year, this is the time of year that we like to share them with everyone. Now I am getting excitied I love the fall. The Sat before Thanksgiving we have a family reunion. To me that is something to be thankful for. Spending time with family. I am thinking of how blessed I am when the holidays come (as well as everyday of the year) that I get to see holiday spirits light up in my DD eyes whom GOD blessed us with on Christmas Eve 2003. For this I am truly blessed, for we never thought that we would have a child. ( i guess that is why you see a lot of little girls in the cards that I make).

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

Here is a shout out to My Mom & Dad this month is there anniversary. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

 I really wanted to get this posted be Oct 7th but alas I am behind.

I have been very busy and will continue to be so for the next few months. Which is a good thing. So here is the card that I made for them. I LOVE YOU BOTH!

Isn't he just the cutest popping out of the bucket.

Boo to you

BOO

just in time for the Scariest night in the year!

Here are the rest the cards for Simply Scrapbooks design team.

Yes I know it is a BOY lol. I really don't do a lot of boy themes but he so just to handsome not to have a card all of his own. LOL The paper is Basic Grey and I colored him with copics. The Banner is die-namics from My Favorite Things stamps.

Ok Yes I had to do a girl to. What can I say just blame it on Abby.

She is just as sweet as can be I just spider wed back ground paper and layered with October Afternoon paper and colored her with copics the banner is die-namics and the little flower is from spellbinder peony the smallest, and BOO letters are rub-ons. And of course I had to use a little bit of lace.

You're my Sliver Lining

This was Abby's favorite card. That surprised me but then this is Abby we are talking about. You never can tell what she might like and not. 

Well thanks for stopping by and checking out my cards.

Fall is in the Air.......
