Happy Anniversary From Donald and Daisy

Good Morning...I hope you are having a great week. Here's an anniversary card I'd like to share with you and take the opportunity to to say "Happy Anniversary" to our good friends Kathi and Bob. Made with clip art that I found on line and a few cuts from the Silhouette on line store, I had so much fun making this card--- 

That's it for today...thanks for stopping by. Remember, I will be out of touch while I am working on a project for my son but hope to be back soon...til then enjoy your day!

More Christmas In July...A Week Late!

Good Morning Blog Friends! I hope you had a nice weekend. I really meant to post these last week but time got away from me and I wasn't able to until now. For those of you that have been following me for awhile, you may remember the "Candy Cane Poem" card I did a couple years ago, the layout is a bit different but the sentiment is the same---

Here's a close up of the sentiment...I love that poem---

A card for our friends up north---

And a card for my good friend Gigi. It photographed a little dark---

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by. I will be MIA as I am working on a project for my son but will be try not to be gone too long. Enjoy your day...see you next time!

A Few Birthday Cards for Our Grandsons

Good Morning Sweet Blogger Friends! I hope you are having a great week. Just a quick posting to share the birthday cards I made for our grandsons. Made with clip art I found online and the print and cut feature of my Silhouette. Kind of corny I know but I'm sure they will love them. They love getting cards from me...my daughter in law has a decorative basket in their room with every card I have made for them---

These are for the twins...since I couldn't mirror image the card because of the "3" I decided to flip-flop the paper. Recently my blogger friend, Kim from Colorado asked if I ever duplicate my Christmas cards and this is the reason I don't. I get so bored with it that half way through the second card, I am so tired of looking at it---

That's it for now...thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day and have a wonderful week!

A Few More Christmas Cards for 2013

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are having a great week. Here's a few Christmas cards I made instead of working on the birthday cards that need to be done by next week. This old time Santa is a Nitwit image that I did a print and cut with my Silhouette, as is the paper and sentiment. I really like this image so I'm certain you will be seeing it a lot---

 Made with my Silhouette. I did a 'print' instead of a 'cut' for the sentiment---

 Although the photograph is crooked, it isn't in real life. The Santa and holly is from a Nitwit collection and the sentiment and photo corners are from the Silhouette online store---

That's it for now...thanks for stopping by. I will put the red and green away just long enough to make the birthday cards that have to be done for July. Til next time...enjoy your day!

More Christmas in July 2013

Good Morning Everyone...I hope you are having a good week. Here's a few more Christmas cards done with my Silhouette that I'd like to share with you. When I started my Christmas cards in July last year, it worked out so well that I thought I'd make it a tradition. Other than a few birthday cards, an anniversary card here and there and maybe a thank you card or two, I will be working on Christmas cards until the end of the year or until I am done...whichever comes first. . 

That's it for now...I do have a few birthday cards to do for the month of July and hope to get them done and posted next week. Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy your day...See you next time!

Christmas In July 2013

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are having a great week. July officially starts the countdown to Christmas so I thought I would post a few of the Christmas cards I have done. This posting is going to be short without a lot of chit-chat since I will be on the run today. For the most part, these cards were done with cuts from my Silhouette. I'm not real happy with the way they turned out but it is what it is and hopefully I won't be in this funk for very long---  

 That's it for now...thanks for stopping by! I won't have a chance to visit my favorite blogs today but if you are kind enough to leave a comment, I will be sure to visit you tonight or tomorrow.  Enjoy your day...see you next time. 

A Few Qiuck Misc Cards

Good Morning Everyone! I was going to try to get these posted last week but have been sick with the flu.. I have spent the better part of last week either in bed or just laying around. Hopefully I will turn the corner soon. I haven't had much crafting time over the last month or so...these are cards that were still on the camera so I thought I would download them.and share them with you. A last day of school card for our oldest grandson who LOVES Yoshi. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is the character in the game Mario Bros. I thought this clip art that I found online was perfect. I did a print and cut with my Silhouette---

 A cross-stitch bookmark that my husband did that went with the card. This will be perfect for his summer reading of the chapter books we got him---

When I made Jeremiah a recovery card of Lightening McQueen when he had surgery a few months ago, Nathaniel wanted to know where his "Buzz" card was. This was the thank you card I made for the twins for my husbands birthday.. Again made with clip art I found on line---

My husband's Uncle and his wife will be moving to a retirement cottage home July 1st...this is the card that will be mailed later this week. The house is a Silhouette cut that I made into an easel card and used a scallop cut for the roof. If you take a closer look, you can see I put their unit # on as the  "house number" to make it personal--- 

A retirement card for a blogger friend for her neighbor who is a judge---

That's all I had on the camera but have a few more cards that need to be photographed. As soon as I get a chance I will take the pictures and get them posted. I tried to visit my favorite blogs this morning. Sorry if I missed you...I'll try to catch you next time. I'm going back to bed! Enjoy your day and have a great week!

My Father's Day Collection

Good Morning Sweet Blogger Friends! While I was getting my Father's Day cards ready to mail this morning, I thought I would share them with you. They were all designed with my Silhouette. I can't tell you how much I love that machine...it makes it so quick and easy to make cards---

That's it for now. I do have a few other cards that I made for my grandsons and even a few Christmas cards...I will try to get back the beginning of next week to post. Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy your day and have a great week!

A New Home, A Note From The Heart and A Thank You Card

Good Morning Everyone...As usual, I am short on time so this will be a quick posting. Here's an card I made for a friend that just bought a new home. I thought it would be fun to make a birdhouse but wasn't sure how it would look with a narrow card base but was pleased with how it turned out. The birds and birdhouse are cuts from The Silhouette online store, the branch and leaves are the Bare Branch from Impression Obsession. The flowers and musical note are a Michael's dollar bin punch with the centers of the flowers from the Sugar Egg die from Scrapping Cottage. The sentiment says "Home Tweet Home-Congratulations on Your New Nest".Easel cards are always difficult for me to photograph--- 

When Blogger friend Lorene saw the piano card I made for my Aunt for Mother's Day, she had to email me to let me know how much she loved it. Lorene has gone through quite an ordeal with health issues the last 6-8 month and I'wanted to send her a "thinking of you" card so this was perfect timing. The base card is one that I designed on my Silhouette using a mix of various templates. The branch and leaves are the Bare Branch from Impression Obsession as are the Chickadees that I colored with Copics. The flowers and musical notes are a Michael's dollar bin punch with the centers of the flowers from the Sugar Egg die from Scrapping Cottage---

And finally a simple "note" of thanks made with my Silhouette. I promise, this will be the last piano card that I will make for awhile---

That's it for now...I am working on a few cards for my grandson's but not sure when I will get back to post them. My granddaughters from Tennessee will be coming for the summer and even though they will be making their rounds between several families, we will want to spend as much time as possible with them so I won't have much time for crafting or blogging but I'll try not to stay gone for too long. Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy your day!

WOW...The 2nd Posting This Week

Good Morning...As promised, here are a few more cards that I made with my Silhouette, Spellbinder dies and a few punches starting with a couple of thank you cards for my husband' birthday last month---

 And a few I made for my blogger friend Shirl---

That's it for now...I do have a few more that I haven't taken pictures of yet...but til I get a chance, I hope to start on some Christmas cards. See you next time...enjoy your day!

OK...OK...I'll Take 10 Lashes With A Wet Noodle

Greetings Everyone!!! I know I've been MIA and I'll take my lumps. Blogging is a lot of work and with the lack of participation via your comment over the last few months, I am finding myself making excuses not to blog. I don't know if I've gotten lazy or just become bored. Remember...YOUR comments are MY inspiration  to keep up with my postings. Anyway...with that being said here are a few cards made with my Silhouette, Spellbinders dies and a few punches. Starting with the Mother's Day cards made for my aunt, daughter in law and my good friend Gigi--- 

 A wedding card with box for my brother in law and his new wife Libby---

 A few cards made for my blogger friend Shirl---

 And a get well card for my youngest grandson after having eye surgery---

That's it for now but will try to get back later in the week to post a few more. Those of you that are kind enough to leave comments, I will be sure to visit your blog sometime this week.
