Hi Ladies,

I hope your day has been a good one. Mine has been pretty good. This morning I enjoyed my coffee on the lanai and was serenaded by the birds and entertained by the squirrels.The weather was cool and it was wonderful. Saturday I held a Scrapbook class at a local library where  I teach LifeStory Writing. The theme for the pages was Heritage. I think the people who attended were happy with the results. I have not taken any pictures of those pages yet but will try to get them posted  here in the next few days.

I do have another card  to share with you, it's done with all Stampin Up products. I used the Bordering on Romance stamp set from the Occassions Mini that unfortunately expires tonight but I know you talented ladies are good at adapting to the stash of stamps you all own. Enjoy.

Bordering on Romance

Here is what I used: Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper white card stock inks and markers. I also used the SU Stripes embossing folder and the Framelits, Labels collection and added some rhinestones from my stash. I like how it turned out. Boy, I must be on a purple kick this Spring my Tilda with Daisy was also done on purple, hum ---  Thanks for looking, I'll see you again soon.

I'm back, I must admit, I have not been a good blogger. I have been so busy wrapping up a ton of year end committee things that Ive been involved in this year. I must admit, I am glad things are winding down. My heart has been here with my card making and I hate that I have neglected it for so long. As I preiously stated I am a Stampin Up demo but I am only active with a group of girls who enjoy getting together and making cards. They are even wondering what happened to me.

I did manage to make a couple cards here is Tilda w/blue blanket.

I had so much fun with her I couldn't wait to use that Memory Box  Madison Window die. It's the small one. My picture isn't very large. I have to get with the program when I take these photos. She was taken with my phone. why, I don't know I have a great camera I should be using it. I promise to start keeping track of the things I use when I do these cards too.

I used SU Pink Pirouette, celery green and one of their DS papers. The fence is MFT's picket fence and the tulips are from Magnolia's tulip walkway stamp. I just cut them out and popped them up for depth. I did use Copic markers but have no idea which ones. Sorry.


Here is my other card. . .                Princess of the Valley Tilda

Again I just had to use that Madison window from Memory Box along with the  Memory Box Flower box  and Wildflorwe patch dies too. My paper is Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzaz,Island Indigo DS. Tilda is sitting on the soccer bench oh and both cards have the MS grass punch.  The curtain in the window is actually a ribbon that I gathered for a more realistic curtain. the flowers are from my stash and of course my copics. She was also taken with my phone. I'll use my camera from now on.

So that's where I've been and hopefully you'll see some more of me. Thank  you all for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments. See ya soon.

Well, I cannot believe it but I am in here again today. Hopefully this time I can execute a successful entry. I had a very frustrating few days with this blog. Yesterday, my daughter offered to help me because the day before I was completely locked out and unable to do anything. I go to her house and wonder of wonders I'm able to sign in and even change my background but didn't have time to do anything else. I get up this morning and was suprised to find I was in and started blogging. Then I prepare to add a card, wouldn't you know it the whole darn computer locked up and I was again locked out. I never attempted to log in again. I had a friend over and we played with all out Maggie stamps. Great day lots of fun.

I belong to a Beta Sigma Phi Sorority chapter and one of my sisters is becoming a first time grandmother. We had a shower for her and this is the card I made.

I used SU Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink paper. Spellbinders large Classic scalloped circles, a couple SU circle punches , MS eyelet punch with Memory box polka dotted paper, and the brads are from my stash. It turned out pretty cute.  Now, I think I will attempt to launch this post to see if I can be successful and then I'll work on one of the cards I did today.

Bye for now . . . . wish me luck !!

Tilda with Daisy

Hello World

Someday I hope to have a really spiffy spot with pretty pictures and everything but for now I am lost. I think I'll play the Scarlet O'Hara card, I can't think about it today. I'll think about it tomorrow, tomorrow is another day. I have to meet a friend for lunch anyway. Sure shows you where my priorites are doesn't it. Bye for now friends I'll be back again later. Hope you all have a great day.
