~Christmas Pics and Cards~

Below are all the pics that I included in our Christmas cards. Everyone that got a card got 4 pictures. I did not plan on that many because I didn't think the family pic would turn out that good. I did some doctoring it up so it turned ok, so I decided to include it in.

We do our family Christmas pic in pj's. Many years ago Aundrea would not put on her dress so we decided to do our pics in pj's.

The dresses the girls have on were given to them by there MaMaw Stephens. The dresses are just adorable. The girls just look so cute in their dresses!!! I tried getting pics of them together in them but I did not get a good one when they were looking at me at the same time. So I had to go with individual pics. Another reason so many pics in the Christmas cards. I have not heard of any complaints so I guess everyone liked them.


Those who got our Christmas cards this year got them late. I just could not get it together this year.
I wanted to make all my cards like the one below. It turned out so pretty. You can't tell from the pic but that is red glitter. It is so beautiful in person. Just ask my Grandma. She was the lucky lady that received this one and only card. I didn't start making my cards till Sunday before Christmas. Nothing like waiting to the last minute.



I had to figure out a new card design that I could whip out in a hurry. The red glitter card was going to take to long to make. So the next two cards are what I came up with. I made 50 of them in about 2 hrs. I think they turned out pretty cute.
Simple and sweet!!!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone is enjoy the holidays.

Have a Happy New Year.

~Hubby's Birthday~

Last Friday we celebrated Kevin's birthday. Here is the card I made for him. I have so much trouble making male cards. I don't have any masculine stamp sets so this is what I came up with. I'm not sure how much I like it but I had fun making it and hubby liked it.
We invited some friends over and had root beer floats instead of cake and ice cream. Yummy!!!
Then we spent the evening playing cards.


Hubby enjoying his float!!
Isn't he just the cutest!! I just love this man.
He has brought so much adventure and happiness to my life. From camping, shooting guns, traveling, riding motorcycles to the birth of our girls. I never thought I would enjoy any of it but I do and I'm so thankful he has shared it all with me. I have been so blessed to have in my life. He is the best friend, handy man, Daddy, and Husband a girl could ever ask for.
Love ya!!

Thanks for all the blog lovin! Stay tuned. Several gals have asked about my stampin space. I will be posting pics soon. I'm so excited to show you.
Thanks for checking in!! Have a great day!!

~Quilt Card~

Hey all!! I wanted to share with you a card I made for Angie's birthday, my stampin' up demonstrator. I love this card!! I have quilted in the past but know I just don't have the time anymore to do such a big project. So when I saw this card I knew I had to make one. I can handle this kind of quilt. I found the card on Di's blog. It was so quick and easy. It took me longer to lay out the "quilt" than put it together. I really enjoyed making it. I can't wait to make more.

So sorry for not blogging lately. I have so much to share with you. Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back. Have a great day!!

~New Baby~

I am a hoarder of craft things. I buy paper, stickers, etc and plan on using them but then I'm like I will save it for later because it is too cute to use. Crazy, I know. I'm doing better about using the things I have. Like this card I made. I bought the paper and sticker a couple of months ago. I made this card for a friend that is having a baby next month. I'm so glad I used the printed paper because I think it turned out so cute, and she loved it too. Click here to see her blog. I met her through MOPS. I'm so glad I did because she is so super sweet.

I'm trying to keep my posts short so I can spend more time with my hubby at the end of the day so if you have any questions about the card just ask. I will be happy to answer them. If not that is ok too. Thanks for checking in and have a great day.

~Cards and a Bag~

Here are the projects I was working on before I left for WV a couple of weeks ago.

This is a card I made for my brother, Anthony. He just moved into his first apt. I bought this stamp set "On the Move" to make new address cards for myself when we moved but never got around to making them. I was so glad to have a reason to use it.

Here is the gift I made for my 92 year old Aunt Izzy's birthday. She is always sending little notes so I thought this would be perfect for her. I have made this before. It is so quick and easy to make. I used Angie's tutorial to make it. Check it out, it is really fun to make too.

I love this paper, so many colors!! It just makes me smile!!

I hope it made you smile too!!

Well I'm off. Lots to get done today.

Have a good day!!

~Cards~

Good Friday Morning!!! I have been up for a while now trying to pack up and finish some stampin projects. I will show you later what I was working on. I have taken a break to show you the cards that me and my friend, Teresa, made over the weekend. These are the projects we were going to do at a card class at Angie's back in April. I had to cancel because Kevin was out of town and Aundrea got sick. So we bought the projects anyway to do later. Well, much later. We just got so busy, between her 3 kids and my 2, we just never got around to it till last weekend. While Cassie napped and the big kids played in the kiddie pool just out side the basement door, we stamped and had a great time.

Here is a group picture of all the projects we did. Some of them were made using the same stamp set Angie used and some we had to use other stamp sets because I didn't have all the stamp sets. Makes since? Go here to see the projects as Angie did them. Below are individual pics of the cards.

Well, break is over. I must get back to packing. I will do my best to post while I'm away, but you know how that usually goes, but I will try. WOW!! I just looked at the calender. My baby, Cassie, will be 2 years old on the 11th. I can't believe it!! Where has the time gone?!!

Thanks for checking in. Have a great day!!!
