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.

A Few Mother's Day Cards

Good Morning and Happy Monday to all my friends and followers in blogland! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I'd like to share with you a few of the Mother's Day cards that I will be sending out. This first one features that fat cat image from Penny Black that I colored with my Copics. I think my new favorite color combo is aqua and peach---

Here's another using that color combo with a computer generated sentiment and my favorite Martha Stewart edge punch, Vintage Floral--- 

For this last one I used the Heart to Heart Doily die from Cherry Lynn. Anyone that has this die knows that it was a real labor of love to make this card. I cut and glued together 5...yes...count them 5 of the dies to give it a shadow box effect---

That's it for today...Thanks for stopping by. If you have a question on the recipe or supplies that I have used in my posting today, please feel free to email me. Til next time...enjoy your day and have a wonderful week!

If We Had A Flower For Each Time We Thought Of You

Good Morning! I looked at the calendar this morning and thought OMG, Mother's Day is next month and I hadn't even given it the first thought so that is what prompted today card. It's for my mom. I found the saying on the Internet and thought it would be perfect with the flowers. The background paper is muted but looks washed out because of the lighting and looks better in real life. I've been having problem with my camera, I think the settings must have gotten changed but I don't dare mess with them.

To A Special Daughter in Law On Mother's Day

As promised, I'm back with my daughter in laws Mother's Day card...just a little...no A LOT later than I had hoped. Today was a rough day, actually all week has been tough. For those of you that know about my husbands back, the cortisone shot that he had last Friday did no good, in fact when we called the doctor on Monday because he was unable to walk they did an emergency MRI. We were convinced that the shot had paralysed him, but that wasn't the case. Coincidentally the discs that were herniated had ruptured causing him to lose all feeling in one leg and loss of strength in the other. To make a long story short, he will have to have surgery, so we have been running all over town getting things set up. Anyway, on a lighter note...here is the card I made for my daughter in law for Mother's day. The image is by Impression Obsession and was colored using Prisma pencils and OMS. I used the dryer sheet technique. Here is the link---
