I made packages of cards for my dad for his work. And these are the finished product. I have been busy trying to get these done and I made sure that I made plenty of each so that I actually have some left over cards for myself now. I always like the way that they look when they are all put together with toppers on them. I did get a a kind of cool embossing thing in Florida that is Disney so I will play with it in the next couple of days and load some pictures. Thanks for looking.

Here is another card that I made this set is one of my favorites and I really like old olive and tempting turqoise.



We are home from our trip to florida we had a lot of fun. I have updated the kids blog if you are interested.

thanks for looking.

Hello, haven't posted in a few days I have meant to just been busy trying to get my hours in for work before we leave town tomorrow night. Craig has been out of town for over a week now for work and we miss him terribly, but the boys and I are also very excited to be going to Orlando tomorrow night. We can hardly wait. We are just going for the water parks there at Disney. Should be lots of fun. I have a couple of more pics to add I will try and add them before we leave. This card is using one of my favorite su colors tempting turqoise although I have to admit that most of them are my favorite. I also used some fun glitter on the tail. Wish I was a peacock after all the bigger the better for them right. I would fit right in. Oh well. Thanks for looking. And we love you daddy.

Here is my other disney card this one was made with my sister Jenn in mind she loves eeyore and loves purple. The background stamp that I used is one that every time I have it out Jacob tells me looks like eeyores favorite thing Thistles. So naturally it is the stamp that I thought of. Craig left town for Vegas this morning for balloon camp and then a trade show. While we are sad that he left it also puts the trip that me and the boys are taking to Florida that much closer. We can hardly wait. Jenn is coming on the trip as well and we know it will be hot and will stay in thewater park the whole time. This is of course driving Craig crazy, he can't stand the fact that we are going all the way to Disney world and not going to spend any time in the actual parks. But we aren't really interested in the heat along with the crowds. Jenn and I took the kids last Aug (when he was on this same trip) to disneyland and it was hot and crowded. The water park will probably be crowded but we are hoping not as bad as the park and it should at least be cooler. thanks for looking.
Ok I have disney on the brain can you tell. I have had this tinkerbell stamp for awhile and never used it. I really dont like to color things in as you all know so I didn't. She is stamped in blue and then I used dazzling diamonds on her the colors come from a tinkerbell beach towel that I have so I used the color combos from there. Some day I think that I will do a magic card using her. But not until I am really in the mood to color her. Thanks for looking.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days I have meant to but haven't. I can't believe that the summer is almost over less than a month and the kids go back to school yeah. Craig is getting ready to go out of town, he will be leaving on Wed. for the rest of the month. It will be hard the boys miss him and this always makes Aug a long month. But in two weeks we will be going to Florida to play at the water parks. We can hardly wait. The kids want to leave tomorrow but we are hoping it will be less crowded by the end of the month since the kids in Florida go back to school the middle of the month. My mom and a friend came over on Tuesday to stamp and I stamped a couple of new cards here is one of them. Those of you who don't know we are huge disney fans or freaks (however you want to look at it) in our house. I haven't made any disney cards in awhile and wanted to I used some classic pooh stickers that I had and stuck them to white cardstock and then punched out around them. I think that it turned out kind of cute, but Craig just grunted when I showed it to him, oh well I guess that we can't all be interested in cards. Thanks for looking.
