Wine and Friends

I thought I posted this card somewhere, other than SCS, but I guess not.  So I will make this my last FWF posting this week.

I made this card for my friend that was going through the separation from her husband.  I invited her over for some hot tubbing and she was bringing the wine.  Unfortunately, that didn't work out.  Hot tub water was dead and needed to be drained.  :(  I did everything to try and clean it but it was time.  And we only run our hot tub for the winter.

SOOO....we are going to have to get together and just have some wine and maybe a video to watch.  Who knows.  LOL

I'm very pleased with how this card turned out.  The stamps I used:  Wit & Wisdom Wine and the wine glasses are from the November 2012 KOM.

Cheers!!

Becoming that Person

I'm not really happy with the way this turned out.  I was following this weeks sketch on SCS.  BUT....I LOVE this stamp.  So inspirational and motivating.

The paper I used is also purchased from Unity.  Except the tan piece.  Absolutely LOVE this cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have an AWESOME weekend.

Thank you for your part...

I posted this on Facebook and a lot have seen this, but I'm going to post this for my FWF!!  This card was made for the foster mom of the recent puppy I adopted from a rescue. She took on the mom and her 3 pups when they were only about 8 weeks old. Connor (mine) was the very last puppy to be adopted at the age of 4 1/2 months. I knew she was going to have a hard time now with an "empty nest" of puppies so I sent her a thank you card from Connor with frequent pics texted and thru facebook. I fostered a puppy and wanted to adopt her but she ended up getting adopted by someone else.  I was totally heartbroken for days.  It's hard to let go....lol.  So here are the stamps I used: "Tail Wagger", Donna Downey "Your Part, My Journey", Paw Prints from "Hugs & Kitties"

I also included a picture of Connor.  I almost swear this stamp was designed with Connor in mind LOL.

Anyway...Happy Friday and have a great weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Congrats to all the new Design Team Members so far.  I sure hope I make it.

Stronger than you think

Happy Happy Friday...
And a whole week off of waking up early to get my son up for school.  SPRING BREAK!!  Still makes me mad, though, that they don't make spring break to go with Easter.  At any rate...

My card this week is for one of my best friends I've known since 1984.  She  has been married for 22 years and her husband wants a separation because he "just doesn't feel like being married anymore."  So she has been pretty much forced to move out and live in an apartment for 13 months to "see how things go".  This poor girl has been in love with this man ever since she said "I do".  And now she has had everything yanked out from under her.  She deals with her emotions on a day by day basis and thank God she has more friends around like me that care about her.  So I had to make a card just for her to remind her that she has more in her than she knows.

I have REALLY fallen in love with the Donna Downey stamps.  There is so much you can do with them.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Lovely Wedding

Hello again.

This card was made for a wonderful cousin of mine that has found the love of his life and is finally getting married.  He and his partner are getting married on the beach with only a handful of people.  In this world full of judgement and hate, prejudice and discrimination,  and just downright disrespect for everyone's owns beliefs...I'm so happy for my gay cousin to finally have met someone that is full of love and content and NO DRAMA.

Congrats to Bryan and Josh.  Love you both!!!

I made this card using the rainbow stamp from Happyville, the phrase from Thoughts of the Heart, and the Cloud background from the October 2010 KOM.  The Grateful Lattice from Spellbinders is cut in Hunter Green and the phrase is stamped in "hunter green" which is Bryan's favorite color.  The image and phrase background is in black and the clouds are stamped on red which is Josh's favorite colors.  I combined everything together to represent THEM.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Hope you like my card...even though it is a little "busy" lol.  HAPPY FRIDAY and HAPPY MARCH!!!

Have a PUN weekend

Happy Friday (Late) everyone....

Today I am showing off my Pun cards.  I know I posted these on Facebook but I'm showing them here too.  Not everyone gets a chance to be on Facebook so I gotta share them today.  These Unity Pun stamps are so adorable and FUNNY.  I hope you like what I've done with mine.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Ok....some people aren't getting the Sherbert card.  There's a song that goes, "Go go go go go Shawty, it's your birthday!"  But this is saying "It's Sherbert Day"

Flip the Birdie LOL

Today I'm sharing my flip card I made using a couple of stamp sets.  The Birdie Duet and the flower strip was from the August 2011 KOM.  Also there are two squares that are stamped using the Ann Butler Faux Quilting 1" Leaves All Over stamps.

I'm really happy with how this came out.  Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.

PS.  I also am sharing a card I made for a good friend I've known since 1973.  She is Irish and her birthday is on St. Patrick's Day.  I used the shamrocks I found in the February 2012 KOM.  Take care.
