More Anya's

I hope you aren't getting tired of Anya's b/c I'm not.....here is a card that I made for my sister in law Marcee after she passed her test to get into nursing school, that doesn't mean she's in yet...but it at least gives her a chance.

Lauren's Saturday Sketch

Here is my quick card made from Lauren's layout...I thought it had 3 flowers and I just through the 3rd one on top before I realized that there were only 2, o'well I'm sure Bri will love it. Bri is Kevin's cousin that is going to KSU this year and it is her first year away at school. She is a bright red head with pale skin...I love her. When she cheered at the local JUCCO she felt very self conscious about her pale white legs and her bright red hair, but it just made her more original and I love her for that...

My Copics ROCK!!!!

Here is my first copic coloring trial....and I love it...but it's 6:14 in the am and I have to get my son up and ready to leave by 6:30.....so enjoy!!!!

Here are some of my cards for our March card party

We (Heather,Tasha, and I are planning a card party in March and I have been trying to get a few cards done for it. I came up with one for the Mothers, (which has the Stitched background by stampin up that you can't see for the base and then the Bella stamp), the next one was for the boys using the dinosaurs stamp from stampin up and finally one for friends using She's all that from stampin up and boho backgrounds...they are simple yet eye pleasing, I think....
Now for the family details..this was the first day of Story Hour for this year, they read books about Kansas and made sunflowers while I checked out books and talked to Heather about my new copics....Which I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I colored only one stamped image that I will make a card out of later. Easton was calling him "baby easton" and putting him to sleep under other pieces of paper. Whatever his little creative mind wants to do with my stamped images....the other night I made 4 campers and stamped images that Easton was putting in them, I'll have to get a photo of that :) We were playing "scrapbooking" as he likes to call it. He sits on my lap and I stamp, he also stamps and mostly plays with what I create....it works. Anyways we went to the museum where Easton played for awhile but the boiler was broken so we didn't stay as long as planned...they have different areas for youngsters dress up and become someone of the past. They have a clothes line, a little house with olden parts like an ice box and a cast iron stove, plus a country store, old school, things you would have seen on "little house on the prairie". I ran some errands, stamped while Easton took a nap, cleaned, went to the store, ate, gave Zeze the dog a bath, cleaned the house, and sat down to watch American Idol....while organizing my pile of paper and putting backing on my Lilly and Billy stamps...now time for bed!!! I am on my brothers laptop laying with Easton as I do every night along with reading books and saying prayer, Easton wanted to know who I am writting this to and so I read it to him, he wanted me to add that he played with playdough. He wanted to know if we are going to put this letter outside "to mail it", I am going to explain to him that this is as much for him as anyone. Because I work in Oncology, I know that all of our days are numbered, so if anything every happens to me, my son will have something to remember "ME". This is me.

Life

Man or boy card that needs a cake or something else????

any day card

Card I made to thank Kev

Here is my LIFE........ Yesterday was a eventful day to say the least, Easton woke up at 6 am and ate pancakes. Kanon came over around 8ish and we mixed up cupcakes. We picked up Cindy for some shopping (by the way I admire any one with Twins !!!!). We went to Dillions, 2 banks, and Target by the time we dropped off Cindy it was lunch time. I made lunch and my good friend Marci came over with her new boyfriend to visit. The boys laid down for a nap and I worked on a few cards. I put away laundry, cleaned out 2 cupboards, and was starting another when the boys woke up..... We all made frosting and decorated the cupcakes and then went to the park. Kanon went home and I started supper. We ate and I gave Eason a bath and then it was idol time....plus i made some jewelry. My brother's girlfriend asked me to be a bridesmaid in their wedding (I'm honored )....so good thing I'm getting in shape. Now it's time to plan her bachelorette party!!!!!!

why are rules hard to follow?

a love card

a thank you my friend made using her son's foot and hand

a manly card

my newest hobby front and back

So I've been trying to follow my up line's guide to making cards for an upcoming card party, however I am having trouble only using 2 colors plus white....it usually is not hard for me, but when there are rules...I have a hard time following. I put on my newest hobby making jewelry and scrapbooking combined :) and I love it. I made these little charms out of scrapbook paper, jewels, and some words...I totally love this new hobby!!! I am sorry I was such a downer before but don't we all get that way at some point? My husband fell off of a truck on his back this week and he hasn't been up to his usual, which I'm sad to say is beginning to be way more than me :( I realize how lost I'd be without him, I should probably tell him that, or maybe I'll keep it a secret awhile longer....well I better clean up while my pictures are down loading, thanks for stopping by...buzz

Glamour

I was reading Glamour this morning and I have been pretty depressed for my standards lately. Our work environment has been really depressing with patients passing away, a nurse with a brain tumor that use to work here and co-workers with bad attitudes....let alone family that have severe medical problems, not to mention my 2 miscarriages. I am writing this not to make anyone feel sorry for me but to vent and get somethings off my mind and on to paper. I am usually a very outgoing bubbly person who doesn't let things get her down. But lately it has just been too much. I have also considered changing churches, but I've been going to this church for 27 years so it is going to be another hard decision, that I'm not sure I can make now on top of everything...anyways about Glamour, I was reading about the top women to watch and they had interviewed some women that were on there previously. Kennedy Shriver had an AWESOME quote that really inspired me..."DO THE BEST YOU CAN, AND THEN TO HELL WITH IT!!!" I totally love it because that is really all you can do, and that is the note I'm leaving on, I'll try and post some pics tonight after I take Easton swimming :)!!!

Thank you's check

Well, I'm having problems getting the pictures on here....but I think they will be here shortly.....I made some thank you cards and some birthday cards using one of my favorite sets "All about U" and my newest set Bella Blossom. The boys (Kanon and Easton ) took a nap and I got 22 thank yous made and 4 birthday's/thank yous made!!!!! As Easton would say, I so proud of you!!!! We went to Soni's and made supper and now the boys are playing wii. Easton is playing play dough and fixing us something to eat :) well that does it, now I need to address these and get them sent, then more scrap booking. I have also ordered some soldering things so I'll be sharing that as soon as I figure it out, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
