Pretty Cool....

It's my birthday today which means I don't plan

on doing anything I don't feel like doing!!!

Of course my day isn't exactly planned out so who knows...

I do know crafting will be top on the agenda, hmmm...

maybe it's my birthday every day!

I created a birthday card to share:

(Jade)

This was pretty much how I dressed 20 years ago, 

boy have things changed! LOL!

I just got this memory lane moment from a classmate...

I can nether accept or deny the following

Hey Beth Ranney, just wanted to share a blast from the past.One winter day before school in 3rd grade you stepped on my foot on accident and said sorry. I said thats ok it didnt hurt. So you took the heel of your boot and took another crack at it and it did...

Well with that I bid you good day!

Hello and Happy Monday!

 I would first off like to take a few moments

 to remember those who gave there lives 

in battle throughout the century.

I feel it's equally fitting to give my most humble

gratitude to those who continue to serve...

(Yippee Fhiona) (Scene Sentiments)

I decided for my project today I would move 

away from a card. I found a template for the 

2-5-7-10 Box at SpilitcoastStampers, 

it was really easy to create!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Sunday Sunday...

Well I am back from my mini retreat with bff it was the best time ever!

I met Laura in kindergarten and it feels terrific 

to still have a connection after all these years.

I have another out -of -my element card to share,
 it's so soft for lack of a better word.

(Nickie's Birdie)  & ( Scene Sentiments)

As you can see however this images is full

of compassion so I felt the soft soothing colors of 

Brown, Blue and White/Cream 

(Creative Craft Challenge)worked well.

It has been about  6 months or so since I last

played along with an Inky Impressions Challenge so I popped

over to their blog and found the challenge was to shine on. 

 I added several sliver backed dew drops for this effect.

CES would like to see embossing whether it be dry or wet.

 I chose to use the swirls embossing folder 

and then sanded it down to show the white core.

Word Plays 4th Challenge  is Scallops

Thing of Beauty is Crafty Purple Frogs challenge as we 

all know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 I hope you have a terrific day and for those of you

who have Memorial Day off remember to reflect...

 

Scrappin' Saturday

Yep, you read right I am actually going to Scrapbook today!

My awesome hubby set it up for me to hang out 

with my childhood lifelong friend for the day

and then he got me a hotel room for the night!

What a gift!!!!

Before I go I have a card to share:

(click for sharper image)

I Fussy Cut ( Just Add Ink ) Miko for this creation

and used the  (Anyone For Anya ) Sketch. Going so far beyond my comfort zone 

I almost got lost, here was my First Attempt ( The Spotlight Challenge )

 at Vintage ( Amber's Crafts and Stuff ) it was so hard! I envy those who demonstrate

such poise with this style!  

I Altered ( Crafts 4 Eternity) the Metal (  Sparkle's Forum   ) Buttons ( Sisterhood of Crafters ) by adding a white wash,

 it made the floral detail stand out. 

The "Thinking of You" Sentiment ( Stamp Something )  is from the Your Next Stamp

newest release Scene Sentiments.

Wow that's a mouthful!!!

 So what style have you steered clear of?
