Love lives here

Morning all and thanks for stopping. Quick post as I am headed for your blogs and then a dinner with friends to celebrate her birthday. The card is for her. Her and her hubby rescues Macaws. They have 4 now and love their birds. When the Sil store offered this from Quietfire, I immediately thought of her. Looks a little plain as her birds are bright colors but I still like it.

Have a Wonderful and Happy day!

Believe

Morning all. Hope your day is starting off perfect!

I did this card this morning. Another creative blogger had blogged a version of this and I remembered I had the Silhouette file. I love how this turned out and hope you do too. I stamped Believe instead of using the Thanks cutout that came with the file. I used glossy accents to outline the word and then the top of the flower.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Joy Stampin up

Morning all and thank you for stopping. Today I have a card I bought from the Silhouette store. It was suppose to have a photo in the center but instead I used a stampin up image I had purchased and never used. I then added my beloved "Stickles" to add the snow effect. I used double sided adhesive paper to cut the snowflake and used blue glitter. I then added Glossy accents to the tab and Joy cutouts.

Have a marvelous day! Hubby taking me out for steak for our 19th anniversary tonight so I have to get the housework done.

Morning all. Thanks to everyone for stopping. A little rant and then on to better days.

As many of you know I started a journey of non smoking about 95 days ago. I also quit a very good job to take care of my Mother-in-law when she had her stroke. That was 4 years ago. The reason I have not updated in a few days is the fact that she lives in our house and told me that I needed to leave and that her family came before me...other words, I am not considered family by her. (Not the first time that she has intentionally hurt me). This all because my sister-in-law decided to work instead of being here with my dogs while I took her mom to the doctor and then lied to me about it. She volunteered and said it was her week to work that day. They seem to think that my non smoking is the problem! With that being said, I did not give in and start smoking again. I actually think that it made me stronger on quitting. My hubby is not happy with his mom at all right now. I talked him down and not to make her leave because it is the only mother he has and no matter what he would regret it when she passes. I am a big girl and can handle this.

On a high note, tomorrow is my 19th wedding anniversary. He is my soul mate. We actually really finish each others sentences and think so much alike that it is scary. I love him with all of my heart. We are going to our favorite Italian restaurant and enjoy a night of just us. We have very few of those.

I played with a starter kit from Silhouette for the double sided adhesive. I cute the tree out and used the green flocking on it. I think I have a new like! I then printed the sentiment and cut it out. I applied it to the embossed topper with pop up dots.

Now I get to have fun and catch up on all your blogs to see the wonderful things I have missed. Have a wonderful day!

Joyful Day

Morning all! We caught some storms last night. No damage around us but north has a lot of trees down and power outs.

I did this card a while back but never got to show it. It was for a friends birthday. With the weather comes the sinus problems so short post. 

94 days without smoking. Yay me!

Just for you

Morning all. Thank you for stopping. Quick post and then off to visit other blogs. Hope all is well.

My brother's next appointment is not until August so they think they got all of the "C" word. That was good news for all of us. Hopefully no chemo or radiation.

Here is my card. I cut the topper with my Cameo and quilled the flower and leaves. I stamped the sentiment from one of the few stamp sets I own. As you can tell by now, simple is my favorite type of card.

flower card.

Morning all. Yucky rainy day here today so a day cleaning my craft room. I made this card yesterday but not sure if I am happy with it. I have not put a sentiment on the inside yet and thought I would say that for the occasion. I cut it out with my Cameo and then use glossy accents on the flower to stiffen it.
