Happy Holidays!

From our family to yours

a wonderful and

peaceful

HOLIDAY SEASON!

I added a few new snowmen

ornaments to our

Christmas tree this year.

Reindeer goodie bags for my

husbands co-workers.

Filled of course with yummy

Reindeer Poop!

Sadly it won't be a white Christmas for us this year,

but even so the kids are getting older

it is still the most magical time of the year.

Thanks for stopping by during this

busy Holiday Season!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A little bit of Steampunk!

Hi,

I hope everyone had a great week!

With the weather turning cooler

and yard work slowing down

I get a little bit more time

to spend in my stamp room.

My first Steampunk card.

I was about to rob my husbands tool box

but then I found some adorable

gears at Michaels which are just

perfect for using on cards.

Well, I hope everyone got inspired

and will try

a little Steampunk in there cards.

Thanks for stopping by and

have a great weekend!

Witching you...

... a very Happy Halloween!

Here are my Halloween creations.

I was dying to use this stamp

"If the broom fits, fly it",

I found it at a convention earlier this year.

The stamp and the broom treat bags

made a perfect match,

what do you think?

The Halloween card was made with

Stampin'up!

Haunting Halloween stamp set.

Well, I went a little overboard with the brooms,

actually I made 20 of them.

Hope the nice and good witches at

my husbands work like them

Odds and Ends!

Things been crazy around here lately.

My workplace is moving into a new building

and my youngest son is playing football

for the Middle School Traveling Squad.

Between moving and football

there has been hardly any time to play

in my stamp room.

But I found some time to get at

least two cards done.

This Vintage Archery Birthday Card was for

my youngest son's (girl) friend.

Both of them are archery enthusiasts and

shooting for their schools archery teams.

And this card is for a friend of mine

who is been laid up after knee surgery and

is has been using a walker to help her get around.

Hopefully not for much longer!

I hope she isn't getting to mad at me!?

Pinwheel Doily!

Hurray!

I finished the Doily last weekend.

Starched and ironed it

crowns the top of our

couch now!

Catching up!

Trying to catch up on some

unfinished projects.

Do you have some of

them laying around your house?

I do, quiet a few to be honest!

I started this crochet doily

a very very long time ago.

Well lets keep your fingers crossed,

my goal is to finish it this weekend :)

Wedding Wishes!

Something old,

something new,

something borrowed,

something blue,

wedding wishes

just for you!

Old lace, blue rhinestones and

a hand sewn flower

for this vintage looking card.

A Little Weekend Project!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend?

With the weather a little on the iffy side we decided

to just skip yard-work today.

The guys went to the County Fair

and I stayed home to play

with my new die cut.

This little bird is Sizzix's Score Board Die by Eileen Hull.

I deco-paged him with old book pages,

added some crackle paint and lace.

You can't really see it but he sits on an old vine cork.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Bonjour de Paris!

"Bonjour de Paris!"

is a mixed media project

I been working on for awhile.

I deco-paged the front of an

old composition notebook with

old book pages

and then just added odd and ends.

Stamped images, embellishments,

die-cut Eiffel Tower and lace.

I also added this puzzle piece.

Just deco-page old book pages onto

your puzzle piece, stamp sentiment and

decorate.

VOILA!

A gorgeous eye candy!

Life's to short!

This easel card was so much fun to make.

I used the girlfriends stamp (Shoppers front) from

Art Impressions and the sentiment

"Life's to short to act normal!" also

from Art Impressions.

"The best is yet to be" was a Stampin'Up! stamp.

For the license plate I just added a Happy Birthday.

Aren't the girls just adorable?

Pink Unicorn!

A pink Unicorn Mailbox for a little Princess.

The Unicorn, Cricut cartridge "Paper Doll Dress Up".

On the card I dry embossed the Unicorn to give

it some texture.

I also added a paper doily for a little vintage look.

Don't they look great together?

Oh, and I added some rhinestones for a

little bling.

Stormy Tuesday!

What a stormy Tuesday in Kentucky.

Riding home from work in a thunderstorm,

heavy rain and high water was no fun at all.

Well since there are no ball games to rush off to tonight

I give you all a peek into the room

were all the creativity happens.

Kind of, since I don't have everything in one place.

My Cricut has to live in the basement and odds and ends

are spread out through the house, for now,

to I get a room of my own.

As for now, the Study is the Daisy's home!

Sorry, tiding up is more like stacking things on top of

one another.

My trusty helper "Buddy".

He loves to snooze on my desk.

My favorite spot too!

Hello Baby!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Hope you all had a great and safe Holiday weekend!

Well I'm looking forward to a week off, trying to catch up

on some things I should have done a long time ago,

and just enjoying not having to go to work.

"Hello Baby"

is a little gift set I made for my husbands co-worker

who will be a new grandma any day now.

The little tin mailbox (Oriental trading) nicely decorated

makes the perfect gift container.

The vintage baby carriage (Hampton Art) I found at

Michael's the other day, I just needed to have it.

And yes, with all the blue, you guessed right

"It's a BOY"

Congratulations to the proud

GRANDMA!

Wonderful Saturday!

Look what my wonderful neighbor brought over!

"Early Peaches"

They looked so pretty I had to take a picture of them.

And believe me they were yummy too!

In full bloom!

Our garden just took off the last few weeks.

It's such a joy to

stroll around and

see what's popping up.

What's your

favorite flower?

I can't make up my mind,

I think I like them all!

Vintage Father's Day Cards!

Just a few more vintage Father's Day cards

for the sports enthusiastic Dad.

I just love working with old photographs,

they give the cards a certain flair.

What do you think?

Around the yard!

All around the yard things are growing.

Our baby birds in the Witch-hazel tree

getting bigger every day

and

the veggie patch is finally taking off.

What a miracle, after all the rain we had the last few weeks.

The Daisy got PUBLISHED!

What an amazing surprise I found in my mailbox this week.

Yes and I did the jig all the way to my front door.

The kids got a little embarrassed

and thought their mom lost it.

But I was and still am on cloud 9!

One of my cards got published in

the Jun/Jul 2011 issue of

"Stampers' Sampler",

a Stampington & Company publication.

If you have the magazine I'm on page 65,

the card is called "Bloom".

Isn't it exiting?

Happy Father's Day!

Another vintage card,

this one is for my Dad on

Father's Day.

I just recently started using old

vintage photographs in my cards.

After printing them I age them with

sandpaper and ink to make them look more authentic.

The Vintage Collection!

What a busy time it's been!

Crazy at work with our upcoming move

in to our new building, yard and ball season starting,

it's been insane.

I hardly had any time to blog.

Sorry everyone!

But I managed to be a little creative.

This was my Mothers Day Card for my Mom this year.

I tried something new, stamping on material,

it worked out very well.

This Birthday Card was for my son's girlfriend,

she loves taking photographs and is studying

to become a professional photographer.

I did some sewing with my little Singer Pixie on this card

and I really like how a few stitches can set of a card

to a very artful creation.

The Luck of the Irish!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Put on your lucky green and be Irish for a day!

And don't forget to send some luck to your friends,

after all on St. Patrick's Day we all are Irish!

Spring is in the Air!

Color finally returning to our yard after the gray days of winter. What a great feeling. Can't wait for warmer weather, to get outside and get my veggie patch started.

Cut and Curl!

Do you have a Beautician who is

truly a Magician?

Mine is and looks like the little critter

on this card is doing a great job to.

I found this adorable House Mouse stamp

on ebay a while back.

Aren't they the cutest.

Thanks for looking!

Just fitting...

A fabulous card for all occasions.

Stamps are from Stampin'up "Chic Boutique" set.

Add some lace and other accent pieces and wola.

Magnificent!

Gifts from the Heart!

What a busy week!

We actually made it

through a whole week without missing a day

because of snow and ice.

But I thought this week would never end.

Weekends are to short, before you know it's Monday morning,

back to work and another crazy workweek in front of me.

Well, just wanted to share a few more Valentines goody bags with you all.

Hope you like them!
