Happy Hearts' Day

Welcome to my blog.  I am so glad that y'all took the time to come see me.  I have a really cute card for ya today.  It uses a paper piecing pattern from Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooks Etc, which fits the Totally Paper Crafts challenge for this week.

I tried to show the movement of the baking pan.  I put it on an Action Wobble for the Card Makin' Mama's  challenge. 

I also used the Fancy Tags Spellbinders Dies to make the sentiment so that it followed the Crafty Hands challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me.  I hope y'all have a wonderful night...guess what..tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!  God bless y'all.

Be Yourself

TGIF.  It's been a long week here for us.  Everyone is feeling better around here.  My father in law is still in the hospital.  They have determined that he has something more than pneumonia going on.  His sugar is way out of whack too. 

I'm so glad that y'all decided to drop in for a visit.  I really appreciate the time you spend looking at my creations.  It really means a lot to me.

The card I have made for today is an Easel card.  I love these, but don't make them too often.

I used one of Anna's image from Cuttlebug Cuties to make this monochrome black and white card.

Thanks again for stopping in to see me.  I hope y'all have a great weekend.  God bless.

From the Heart January Stamp of the Month Challenge

Whoot!  Whoot!  It's Friday.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I have a few cards to post today, so stay tuned for more. :)

For this challenge, Faith has generously provided a freebie for everyone so that you can play along.  As long as you make a project for January, you will recieve February's image.  If you keep going, by the end of the year, you will have 12 of Faith's wonderful images.  

Isn't this just the cutest little Valentine?  I used the Decoupage technique to make this by printing out the image three times and just cutting certain parts of the image and pop dotted them up.

Thanks so much for coming to see me today.  I hope y'all have a great weekend.  God bless.

Melonheadz Friends Challenge

Good Morning, friends.  I hope y'all had a great weekend.  Thank you for joining me for the first challenge of the new year at Melonheadz Friends. We have a great challenge for y'all this fortnight. Birthdays..who doesn't need cards for that occasion all the time.

I chose the "50's Bundle" to make my card.  I remember when I was a girl, my grandmother made me a poodle skirt.  I loved it and it was black and pink just like this one.  I even had saddle shoes. This bundle comes with those cute little records.  I added the name of some of the songs that were popular in the 50's.
