Happy Birthday Daddy!!


My Daddy's Birthday was March 18th. I made this card for him but I couldn't post it because we had his Birthday party late. My Sister and her family came in from Colorado Friday and we wanted to wait until they got here to celebrate. We had a big BBQ at my house. It was great to have all of us in one place again. It has been quite a while. He got to celebrate with his first Great Grand Isabella. ( adorable little 5 mo. old stinker! )

This is my Dad, Mom & Isabella

Show Me Thursday


Gosh, can you believe it is Thursday again already?!? Well, I'm glad because today is my Friday!! WooHoo!! My Sister and her family will be here in the morning and I get to hang out with them until Thursday. I haven't seen them since our summer trip to Colorado.I may be M.I.A. until she leaves but I will definitely get around to all of my blogger buddies when I return.
My desk has some more images I have colored this week. My friend Cindy got me that box to the left and it is perfect for holding uncolored images. I also found some Recollections flowers, lace and ribbon 40% off at Michael's this week when Linda and I took our weekly trip at lunch. I should have gotten more.
Come on...you know you want to play along. It's okay to snoop! Really!!

Under the Weather







This little darling is a new Spring image from Sassy Cheryl's called "April Umbrella". Tracy is our hostess this week and she wants us to use something new on our project. I definitely don't need an excuse to buy something new but this was a free ticket to go to the craft store!
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

I have wanted to use this image since Cheryl released it but I was waiting for that perfect paper to compliment it. By luck, I found a pack of American Crafts ON SALE with this rain drop paper in it. Then I wandered over to the Prisma pencils and bought some Spring colors I didn't have. The yellow was perfect for her rain coat! Some days are just good days at the craft store so I pushed my luck and kept looking. I meandered over to the embossing folders and found a Sizzix paisley folder and a paisley is shaped like a rain drop, so I HAD to get that too. All I needed was ribbon and I actually had that at home so my trip was over. Bummer huh?

I hope you all will stop by and participate in the challenge this week. It's a good excuse to go out and buy something new. (if you need an excuse)

Happy Spring!


Really...15??? Wow!
This adorable little image is one of Sassy Cheryl's newest for Spring! He is called "Dancing Easter Egg Bunny". He is one of the images in this week's Color Me Challenge. I had a card in mind and it just didn't turn out the way I planned. Crap!! I usually don't post cards that I am not happy with but I am posting this because I wanted to play in the challenge this week and I didn't have time for a re-do. Something was missing and I just couldn't figure out what it was. I was having crafter's block!! OH NO!!! So, if you can think of what my brain wouldn't let me please feel free to give suggestions.
