Tilda's Kite!


This is just a quick post so you don't have to look at the same cards for 3 days. I finished this the other day and wasn't too happy with the way it turned out. I think it needs ribbon. It is going to have to do because I've lost my mojo the last couple of days. I am hoping I find it in time to enter some challenges by friday.

All the papers used on this one were scraps.

Have a great day!

Strawberries for Sale!



I am loving these new Magnolia Stamps. I love to shop at Magnolia-licious. Diana always has the best selection of stamps. This is another image from the Rainbow collection.

We had a wonderful time yesterday at the fish fry. We even were able to sit outside and visit after 8:00 PM with a nice cool breeze. Everyday last week was 100 degrees or more. Tomorrow we are going to a Western Museum called Wolarock. It has beautiful grounds with gorgeous flowers, a huge log home that the founder of Phillips Pet. Co. used for his weekend retreat. The grounds are covered with Buffalo, Longhorns, Deer of all varieties and Elk. The actual museum has a fabulous gun collection and about 8 rooms full of Western Art and artifax. It is a fun place and I am sure the kids will love it.

Corrosive Challenge #122, Slippery When Wet


This card is for the Corrosive Challenge #122, Slippery When Wet. Cooper is a Paper Pretties digital image and I really think he is so cute. They have a lot of cute images. I am not good at resizing these images but am learning.

My Grandson is coming in from California tonight. His flight is 2 hrs. late already so now he isn't coming until 12:30 in the morning and we have to drive an hour to get him and an hour to get him home. Southwest did the same thing to his Mother and Niece last weekend.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday. We are having a fish fry at my Son's and about 50 people will be there. Should be a fun family gathering.

Sweet Baby Girl!




I love this Mo Manning image. She is so sweet. She was a lot of fun to color and I have no clue why I made a babies dress lime green but as you can see, I did.

Hope everyone is having a great day. We have been cleaning out a storage shed in our back yard for two days. Most of the contents were my Mother's but I have found a lot of my things that I wondered where they disappeared to. We still have about 2 more days to work on it. I can only work on it for a few hours each day as it gets way too hot to spend too much time working in a little building with the temps in the high 90's and no air.

Hope you are having a good day!

Wild Wild West for DH!


This is the card I made for my husband for Father's Day. This is my all time favorite SU set called Wild Wild West. A friend sent me a lot of images years ago and I only use them once in a while to make them last. I know of several people that have bought them off of ebay but they go for several hundred dollars and I can't justify that kind of money. I love western themed cards.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a blessed day.
Hugs,
Linda

Brunette for CMC Challenge


Hello Friends,
I hope you are all having a great Sunday and have a great week. I have my daughter and great granddaughter here and we have lots of things planned.

This card is made with one of the new Rainbow Tilda's. I bought mine at Magnolia-licious, my favorite store for Maggies. I used Bazzill White for the card base and a combo of designer papers from the Paper Studio & DCWV. It was colored with my copics, cut with Nesties and I think the corner die is Heartfelt Creations. Thr ribbon and flowers are from my stash. I dug out my SU punches for the sentiment. Hope you like her.

I am entering this in several Challenges:
CMC Challenge: Brunette
Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Bingo, I chose to do bottom row across, shape, ribbon, sentiment

Totally Papercrafts Challenge: Die cuts and Punches

Shopping Our Stash: 3 S's, I used the S for Stickles on my flowers

CES Challenges: Lots of Sparkly Flowers

Corrosive Challenge #121 Ribbons & Bows!


This week's challenge # 121 is Ribbons & Bows. I hope you can join us this week at the Corrosive Challenge. We are sponsored by Paper Pretties and Stamp Insanity. Check out their cool digi stamps. I sure hope you can join us this week.

I've got company for part of the summer. They came in at 10:00PM last night. My daughter Denise and great Granddaughter Lexie are here for a few months. They live in Eureka, CA. They want to spend time with their brothers and sister and Aunts and Uncles. They will not like this 100+ degree weather but we will have fun spending time together for sure.

Have a blessed day.
Hugs,
Linda
