Horsey, I see U!

I really like this horse and little girl.  It reminds me of when I was growing up and we had horses.  I have some really great memories of taking care of my horses and riding all over.  It is a very soothing solitary time.  I would saddle up and take my horse on trail near my house for hours and hours trail after trails.  I just have to say that it was so much fun.  I made this card in remembrance.

Just wanted to say I Love You!

I just wanted to say that I Love You!  I have to say that I am lucky to have a great Hubs and I just wanted to make him this lovely card to say thanks.  I made a doctor-up card.  (Hee Hee! I like the sound of that..)  Let me know what you think and leave me a comment.  Thanks.

Welcome Back!

I Just became available to work on some VERY neglected art.  I am on summer break from school.  I have really been itching to work on some art.  I sooooo miss it.  I have about 7 or 8 girls that are preggers at work.  They are all due around the same time ( go figure!  Don't drink the water right!)  Anyways.  I will be in school again at that time.  I thought that I would get a head start on my Card making.  I have started with a girl from work whose name is Cathy.  It is her birthday and she is also moving so I thought that I would docker up a card that I made last year.  It came out very cool.  Check it out.  I will try to what I did.  Comments Welcome.  Thanks for looking.

I made this lovely card for my Mom for her birthday. I am going to take her out for lunch next week. I think that she'll like it. Of course, I had to put my little sappy touch on the inside for her. Thanks Mom for all you do!~

I made this card for the Paper Smoches Sparks challenge. It is a great way to use many color schemes, textures, style and techniques possible on one card. this is the August Sparks challenge. I made the background with the Scor-Pal and just distressed the edges to look like old barn wood.

I Had an Ideeeer. I thought that I would try to use some Vellum and make a card for a wedding that I am going to next month. I am not sure. The picture made it really dark. It is a very light silver and then with the white card. Not sure. What do you think?

You Make my life Sweet!

Yup! You said it Rainbow... Now that is an Ice cream. On these Hot days. The temp. has reached up to 109 in some spots around Connecticut this week. A little side note... Had to laugh yesterday. My daughter begged me to get her Ice cream. We went to the store which is about 15 minutes away. got the Ice cream and ran to the car. Put it in a cooler so it wouldn't be soup by the time we got home and realized that its a 109 degrees outside. What are the chances to get home and not have soup.....laughing because of the exerp from Forrest gump... We can make.... Soup pancakes, soup salad, soup cake, soup sandwiches. all out of the melted icecream... shes's 11, what do you want. it was funny at the time. Still laughing over it! :)

I am starting to work on my card swap cards before I go back to school. I know that I will be jammed and therefore having a little time now I thought that I would work on them. This is the August collection which we had to make a birthday card. the challenging technique this month is using your initials of your name come up with your design. My initials are "L and S" so I came up with Sunflower, color lemon, and Speckled.

It has been a while since I posted a card. I have been slowly getting back into it when I am resting. I have had a heck of a time since my accident to get back into it. I did manage to make this card for a challenge. My head injury....can't remember which one and I know I missed the deadline. I do like the layout.

I just made this little cutey for my Grandmother. She has been a god send to let me use her car until I get a new one mine died last week in a crash..... Believe it or not she is 92 years old and hasn't driven in a year or so but still has the car and maintains it and puts gas, cleans it starts it up once a week to see if it runs and believe it still pays the insurance on it. My Mom almost had her convinced that she wants her to give it up and boom I have my accident and now I am using it. I just love her. Thanks gram.

Wishing you Loads of happiness

My nephew is moving to San Diego in a few weeks and his father is throwing a little going away picnic for him. I made him this card and gave him a gift bag filled with candy, chocolate, chips, slim jims, capri sun drinks and some other junk for eats on the way out there....They are driving. That should keep them busy for a while. I hope that he has a safe fun trip. Best of luck my friend.
