Butterfly Grass

I made this card a few days ago using SU card stock, SU stamp set 'Inspired by Nature' and the SU butterfly punch.  I added stickles in the center of the butterfly to bring up the body.  I don't have a clue what that little smudge is in the lower left corner because its not on the card, obviously its on the camera lens.  I'm still looking for my mojo, it left about a week ago and its lost can't find it anywhere!
Journal Time: I haven't journal 'ed in a long time, maybe because I'm not feeling real good about myself lately.  I've started a diet with Nutri-systems this past Monday and actually have to say I'm eating more now than I was before.   Let me just say I can help you save yourself some money, the food is OK and you have a good choice but I normally don't eat till dinner.  Now I'm eating breakfast, lunch and dinner  plus 2 snacks, but I'm still getting hungry after 8 at night.  That's when I eat when I sit down to watch TV and relax, I know you shouldn't eat after 7 PM but I do.   It's not worth the money to do Nutri-Systems .  You get this huge box of dinners, soup, bars, cookies but they don't give you much information to go on.  Nor do they tell you, you have to go buy fruits, veggie, salad stuff so now your eating pre-packaged cereal, Chinese, oh and you have to have protein so you need to buy chicken and turkey.  So it's really not worth it, I can buy the same meals in the freezer section.  I guess the one good thing would be that it all comes in a box an its easy to transport!   I really want to lose this weight and I would love to exercise if my COPD didn't get in the way.  I wish I had someone close by that would want to walk or exercise with me, keep me mobile and honest three days a week.

OK girls please 'Play it Forward' it's such a wonderful feeling. 

God Bless,

Fall, it's finally here!

Yep its official its Fall but why was it 93 outside today?  Guess I'll just keep dreaming of the fall leaves and the snow flurries (since we don't get snow here).  I made this card for Deedee's card challenge this week.  She asked for Orange, Yellow and Green so I used some Copic's to color with, Paper Wishes DSP and SU cardstock.  My image is 'Harvest Love' from Deedee's Digi's, she has so many beautiful Fall images you really should check them out at: http://www.deedeesdigis.blogspot.com/

Everyone have a good night and know your in my thoughts and prayers.  God Bless,

Clean & Simple

Quick card here I lost my mojo and all my new goodies from HSN came in so I need to get busy.  This is a simple white card that I embossed with my Scor-buddy every 1/2 inch then I added inchie's from Inkadinkado mounted on SU Only Orange card stock and inked with Only Orange.  I punched the edge of the card with the SU border punch added some orange cording frazzled the ends and I was done! 
Then I went on to admire all my goodies I bought on the HSN craft day blow out.  I got Martha Stewart embossing board with a coupon so it only cost me $12. and all of it was shipped for $5.20.  Good thing this only happens twice a year, or I'd be in a poor house.  I bought some beautiful black, beige, white & silver paper from DCWV for $9.95 and it has 100 sheets of 12 X 12 and 100 sheets of 8 X 8.  I'd be dumb not to buy it.  Well it looks like I won't get any crafting done today my Daughter and husband came over an stayed a few hours and now my Grand daughter is coming by for a few hour until her boyfriend gets off work so.....I'll catch you later but have a great night.  God Bless,

I love coffee a Latte!

Coffee and me wow I can't imagine starting the day without coffee. I have been a coffee-holic for 30 years and I love this digi from Deedee's blogspot called 'Cuppa Love'.  I used SU card stock and DSP along with Black magic mesh  put a ribbon over all of it and a cute flower and I was done.   Deedee has over 100 digi's to choose from I can't imagine you go to look and not find something that you love:  http://www.deedeesdigis.blogspot.com/  check them out and enjoy your day.  God Bless,

Butterfly Wishes

I love butterflies, I really believe they are one of God's very special creations that bring us much awe and delight.  These are an old retired stamp set from SU I stamped them then colored them with Copic's, cut them out and then put Crystal Effects on them.  The card stock is SU but the beige paper is handmade pressed paper that I bought at a craft fair years ago.  I used SU border punch and a verse from the new SU stamp set.

This is the same as the above but I used Hero Arts lace border on it.   I thought these would be good cards for almost anything and I love all the new lace coming out for cards.

I used SU white cardstock and my Scor-pal buddy to put lines on the card then I added the lace from Hero's Art and I was finished.  I just love butterflies so making these cards were quite easy.

One last butterfly before I close for the night.  This one is from the same SU retired set only colored with Copic's Y18 and YR 16. I added some vintage DSP and concluded that I'd made enough butterflies for the day.   I'm tired of 93 degrees I want to go outside and enjoy the outdoors but its just not cooling off just that's why I can't get my motor running.

Remember to 'Pay it Forward'.

God bless,

Wedding Wishes

Real quick post tonight as I've been surfing the web and just realized I hadn't posted for Thursday yet and now its Friday.
This is a digital image from Deedee's digi's called 'Endless Beginnings'  although I don't have a picture of the inside I used 'Long Stemmed Thoughts'  Rose on the inside for this wedding card for my brother.  The paper is SU DSP Wedding paper, SU Silver paper and Copic's to color my images.  I love Deedee's images and you should really check out her digi's she has a great assortment of images that cover all the bases and she has some great tutorials about digital images.  http://www.deedeesdigis.blogspot.com/ 
Gosh I'm tired and don't think I'm making sense guess I'll re-check my blog in the morning!

God Bless remember to 'Play it Forward'.

HSN Craft Day

Wow since QVC quit with Scrapbooking and Crafting HSN took over and everyone is over at HSN.  Anna Griffin, Martha Stewart, Hot of the Presses, K & Company.  Well I spent my stash, its a good thing my granddaughter and I are having a Yard Sale this weekend.

My card for today was actually done a few days ago since I knew about today's sale.  This is an image from Doodle Pantry, Laurie is having another release on the 15th and I can't wait.  This card is SU card stock with a Cuddlebug folder, several layers and I always forget about this bow until I go to my friend True's house.  She has arthritis really bad in her hands so making bows are hard for her, this ribbon accents is perfect for her.  She did design a bow maker out of a piece of wood and some nails and will use that occasionally.

Have I mentioned I love this birdie?  I love this inchie card with my paper flower I used retired SU card stock and some pink vellum and I was done.  These birdies are pre-colored so this card was super quick.  I think maybe Laurie should have a contest to name the bird.  Herman, Stanley or Bertie the Bird got any suggestions?

Have a great day be back tomorrow with my grand total of purchases I have to reel myself in.

Pay it forward girls,  God Bless,
