Skateboarding Dino



Hi Everyone!!! Gosh last nights FOOTBALL game was so good! Did I tell you how much I love FOOTBALL!!!! I can't wait till Thursday night FOOTBALL comes LOL!! OK OK so tonight I have to take a couple of cards to the fair, my mom forced me to enter my cards, so then I forced Chiy to enter her awesome, scrumptious chocolate chip cookies in the fair..hehe..the perk of that is she's going to make cookies and she only has to take 3 or 4 to the fair so the rest of them we eat YUMMM!!!!
This card was made using a sketch from Create4fun Challenge..I just loved this sketch..all the DP is from Basic Grey (Wander) ...the image is from Dustin Pike..it's a real simple card but perfect for a teenage boy.. I think :) ...The buttons are from SU..I think that's it ...... My wonderful hubby and I are going to eat Sushi for lunch!!! O boy! I'm salivating! FOOTBALL yesterday, Sushi today my week is freakin perfect!!! I hope yours is too!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

Ghost Girl



Hi Everyone!!! OK this is going to be short and sweet...FOOTBALL is on... but since I made this card on Friday and didn't get to post yesterday because my Baby had her Senior Portraits yesterday :( how sad the time has flown by in two months she will be 18 sheesh ....
So I made this card with a child in mind for Halloween...it's simple but sweet :) .The sketch is from Friday Sketchers..I am not sure who the image is from..so if you know please tell me..it was a free digi...I colored her in (notice the pink pants) hehe with galaxy white gel pen...the DP is from Cosmo Cricket (Matilda) this dp is so hard for me to work with LOL! ..The purple flower is from CTMH and the push brads and buttons are all from my "stash" ..I hope you all have a fantastic Sunday! ..
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!

Pink/Green Fairy



Hi Everyone!!! Chiy had her first lesson in roller skating and yep..her butt and side took most of the impact LOL!!! So this should be really fun...I strapped on my roller blades last night and skated with her and I hurt LOL!!! it's good exercise! sheesh! it's been 15 years since I strapped on those puppies and wow it's fun! can't wait to skate more with her but I'm buying roller skates. In my opinion it's so much easier to roller skate then roller blade..
OK on to the card I just got done with it. I didn't have any time last night to come up with something but I had this design in my head when I woke up, just the DP and flowers because the sketch is actually from Crazy 4 Challenges...I wanted to make a girly girl card :) ..all the DP is from Prima (Fairy Flora) and the fun part of this card was that I just discovered this new site (to me) that offers free coloring pages and they have so many to choose from... I stuck stickles on her wings and on her wind hehe but it hasn't dried yet so it does look a little weird...O here's the link to these fabulous images, like I said they have so many and I downloaded a lot of them.. Fairy Coloring Pages ...All the flowers are from Prima and the cool metal charm that says "smile" is from Making Memories...the ric rac was actually white but I colored it to match the paper...I hope you all have a great day...I just checked out Friday Sketchers so I'm off to play with there sketch...see ya all tomorrow..
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

Edited: I added a better picture since the Stickles has dried...

Vampire Riley



Hi Everyone! yep I lost my mojo but I think I have it back...Well I have also been busy, one of the things I have been doing is researching Roller Derby because my lovely Chiy is part of a team!!! she's so excited! she doesn't earn enough money though to pay for the start of fee, so she has been asking family and friends for donations, from $1.00 to whatever you can, everything adds up. I have been saying a thank you to everyone that has donated. I'm trying to see where in our area we can buy everything..So after she gets off school today we are going shopping..keep in mind my daughter has never roller skated in her life so this should be doubly fun LOL!!! she practices tonight for the first time with skates on so I'm thankful the Team Leader is a paramedic :) wheww! The first practice on Tuesday night was fun but when they were all done just standing talking to each other one of the other ladies fell and she dislocated her elbow or shoulder...ouch! but Chiy says nope I want to do it :) ...yay!!!

OK today's card features and image from Riley and Company Vampire Riley...the sketch is from Creat4fun Challenge.. I really wanted to make a Halloween card so I used my Basic Grey DP (Eerie).. The paper flower and and orange pearls are from Recollections..I also played in the challenge from Quixotic Inspirations they asked for a "spooktacular" card... and I also played in the challenge from A Spoon Full Of Sugar .."anything goes" is what they asked for :)..I think that's it, I do have a card for tomorrow..
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

Wanted to also say didn't you know Agustina and Diana, owls are the new cats..hehe
I had the owl digi stamp next to the cats and I guess I grabbed the cats by mistake..After you commented I looked on my desk and yep there's the owls just staring at me, I started laughing that I'm such a dork..I guess I better clean my desk sheesh! so imagine you see owls everyone...

Shiney Christmas




Hi Everyone!!! isn't that picture of the bully so freakin cute!!!!! did it make you smile!? I loved it and I laughed and thought it was perfect to make someone smile today..it is not my Rocks...So the card I made last night was created by using a sketch from Create4fun challenge...I also played with Sparkle's Christmas Challenge and she asked that we use Sparkle and Bling..I'm not sure I used a lot of bling but I have plenty of sparkle on my card :) ..The DP is from My Mind's Eye (Wonderful Winter)..The flowers are from Prima and the sentiment is from Making Memories..I"m not quite sure where this little girl is from :( I got it in a swap but I think she's a WOJ or a Sugar Nellie..if anyone knows please don't hesitate to tell me...O and the biggest thing is! I had to create my own watermark because my computer is acting up, I need a new one, so that's on the list but in the meantime that blackness on the bottom is my name on transparency...O and I also got the word yesterday that both Rocks and Hinges will be going in for surgery on the 17TH ..Rocks has a growth on his nose that will need a biopsy and Hinges has a black spot/ball on her neck that will also need a biopsy..sheesh maybe we should have direct deposit into the hospitals bank account LOL! ..Tim says he's going to call Rocks ..Lemon from now on LOL!!!! so yes, on the 17TH it's my first ever card class and I will have to take my animals to the vet on the same day ..ugh ..so yep should be a nice stressful day..maybe I'll spike my coffee :))) ...come back tomorrow..I want to show you what my Hubby surprised me with :)..
