more cards

been making cards like crazy will post more pictures later. This past week I have spent rearranging and sorting all my supplies. Have actually made a bigger mess but it will all be worth it in the end. After working each day i would settle down and look through card galleries. I came across a couple of images and spent the next few hours searching for the image or the stamps.... finally I stumbled across the image I had been looking for ... Sassy Studio Designs ...

this is a card I made for my daughter who is studying for finals at college this week....

My newest 2cents worth card

This is the card I made for my daughter in law Brandi as she leaves to day to go back home to Jacksonville NC. I will miss her so much...
I combined the spinner card and the trifold shutter card to make this card.

This card is the card I made for Julie a teacher at the local highschool for her birthday
Mickey is a sticker and he spins from one side to the other

TIME FLIES

Wow I can't believe a year has passes since I last blogged.... Life has certainly taken on a Life of it's own... July we all went to NC for the 4th and spent it with Jon and Brandi... home and life returned to NORMAL what ever that is... Jon was deployed to the sand in October ... they came home and we all traveled to Illinois to see my family for a weekend... then back to Tennessee... about 2 weeks later we traveled to NC for his deployment Took lots of pictures but haven't scrapped any of those...

This has been a very difficult time for me as I try to keep this separate from when my oldest son was deployed and the out come of that deployment... I have spent the last 6 months holding my breath and now we have just a little more time to go.

I have since purchased the Cricut Expression... awesome tool... I use it a lot more than I ever thought i would. I would use it more if I had more time...

I finally finished the baby scrapbook... I have found that it was a bit of a pain... most of the pictures were all horizontal. I had very little information which made it very difficult to journal.... Never so happy to finish a project. Will post pictures soon.

I am currently working on a Wedding Album for my youth minister and her husband... I at least have interaction with them and know them on a more personal level so it makes it a bit easier.

I have scrapped a few pages just for me ... well for my daughter but for me at the same time. She is one of my favorite subjects.

I have just started making cards... never knew it could be so addicting. I love to try new challenges and I have found 2 that I really love. Actually thinking about making my own line of cards... pictures to be posted later.

I find inspiration everywhere. For now that is my 2cents worth...

HOME

We had a wonderful trip to Jacksonville North Carolina
Spent the weekend with Jon who picks up PFC on the 1st of February
OohRah

I took a few pictures.... (family doesn't take many pictures so it is always left up to me to be the picture taker.... so im sure the one of me meeting the Commandant of the Marine Corp is not good quality)
Yes I met the Commandant of the Marine Corp... what an honor to just speak with him for a moment ... there was a photographer there... may see if i can get a copy of the photo...

Jon looked great in his cammies.... but then I being his mom thinks he looks great no matter what.

That evening before we went out to eat... ( it was Jon's 24th Birthday) we went to a scrapbook store Oh MY GOSH OMG!!!! good thing I don't live here......
they had so much stuff... all kinds of military paper and embellishments and they are available on line too but man on man the Marine stuff awesome... I could have spent a WHOLE lot MORE!!!!!

We had an hour wait at the resturant... but all in all it was a good night
the kids slept in on Saturday.... Ron and I went to breakfast at the hotel... and then rested and read for a while... before going out and about around town... Did i mention that it is a Marine Town every where that you look there are bumper stickers and ribbons and signs supporting the Marines it is wonderful....

Before dinner at Applebee's we did some shopping the kids went to old navy... me and ron went to Michaels... now I don't have a local Michaels close to me so I was very happy to wander the scrapbook, stamp aisles :)

i have since made my card for the valentine swap... grs weather is not cooperating... roads are bad and we are under a winter weather advisory so I will be doing a express mail of my swap to my secret valentine.

I have made a card for the Love challenge on a scrapbook group i belong to... will post it here after the voting is done :)
thinking about my sketch for the 52 sketches challenge... and also trying to learn a new technique ... and planning week one challenge
