Bird card

I have had this patterned paper for quite some time now.  I didn't want to use it because I love it!  But I caved when I came up with this idea for a card.  It just screamed "USE ME ALREADY!!"  LOL





cardstock: Hobby Lobby
ribbon: Hobby Lobby
ink: SU Chocolate Chip (sponged on the edges)
punch: SU Two-Step Bird Extra Large
paper: I have no idea where I got it.  On the back it read "www.daisydspaper.com" but it didn't take me anywhere. Sorry.

SO in love with you

I tore off a small wad of toilet paper, scrunched it up, and then dabbed on the ink pads, then dabbed on the cardstock.  



cardstock: Stampin UP Ivory, generic black
ink: SU Chocolate Chip, SU Old Olive
stamp: purchased at a retail store
paper: camo paper purchased at Hobby Lobby


I made this brown one for my husband for our anniversary last April.  I think I like it more than the other one.

Extreme Like

Haha!  The stamp set is Extreme Elements and Extreme Skateboard and I really, really Like this set.



This is one of those cards that I was thinking "this ain't going to turn out", "you are wasting paper"......but I am glad it turned out better than I thought it would.  



cardstock: generic white
ink: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive
stamp: Extreme Elements, Extreme Skateboard
(All Stampin UP except the cardstock. Skateboarder is popped up on those little white, spongy things, lol.)

Simple LO's

I am a simple person.  And that carries over to my scrapbook.  And cards.  

LO of my daughter on the first day of 7th grade, August 2006.









LO of stepson.  Pictures taken Winter thru Summer of 2006.  He would not let me take a picture for the first day of school for him, so I just put a few together for his LO.





(yes, he needed a haircut!!)

LO of my dear, sweet hubby.  The quote is from Winnie The Pooh.  I played around with the picture, and got 3 very different effects.  I cannot remember what program I used, it was a free one from the internet.  And it was a few years ago.

If you live to be 100, 
I want to live to be 100 
              minus one day.  
So that I never have to live a 
             day without you.


(I love this man!)


All cardstock is Bazzill.  Patteren paper and solid colors are from various packs of paper I had at the time. Letters on Jenn and Kyle's pages are stickers. I colored J and H with a marker.  Quote on Frank's page is computer printed on white cardstock.
