Not cards

This time I am showing my creative side with clothing for my granddaughter, Avery, who's 4! She started pre-K last week. Don't you think she'll look darling in these?! Thanks for taking a look!

Saturday

Planted 48 small starts of petunias this morning out front. Husband took out the last juniper bush in the side yard, and cut lots of ivy off the fence. That stuff is trying to take over the whole side yard. So out it's coming!

Rain finally stopped and the sun is shining. Is in the low 70s I think. Feels nice and warm in the sunshine.

Wish I had my camera cord and could upload some of the pics I've taken. Oh well...

Hugs, Linda

Hello from Oregon!

Hi! Well, we did get our laptop hooked up, but I don't have my camera cord and I didn't bring my card making stuff. But I can check in and say Hi and look in on your blogs and see what you are up to :) . My husband and I have worked much in the yard at my mom-in-law's property. But today we are going to ride over to the coast and check out the Pacific.

We have helped MIL celebrate her 97th birthday. Some friends met us at Carlos's which is a great Mexican restaurant here in little Cave Junction. There were 14 who helped her celebrate 97 years of life. The next day she couldn't remember what we did, or where those flowers came from, but at the time, she enjoyed it!

Will check in often now that I have means.

Hugs to you all... Linda

A Message to all of you

Well, it's almost time. Friday my husband and I are taking his mother to Oregon for 3 months - May 1 through July - should be home by August 1. I don't know if we are going to have any internet, so I don't know if I'll even get to check on all of you to see how you are doing, or to post a card. Please don't give up on me! I will be back. (I'll probably go through withdrawal if we don't have access!) We plan to do lots of activities (which we don't have time for now). But I will try to do a card once in a while if I am able. There is a small scrapbooking/stamp store in her little town where I can get a few supplies. And Medford isn't too far away. There are some places there to purchase things. I know they have a Michaels and JoAnns, and I think they have a Hobby Lobby!

I will miss all of you. Check mid-May to see if I've posted. If I have, Yea, that means I have access :).

Hugs to you all,

Linda

Flight of the butterfly

This is for the Copics #10 color challenge to use RV34, B02, and B39. I have B02, also used B32, 34, RV000 and RV13, Y11, G000 and G21, and R02. The image is by Rubber Stampede. I stamped the image twice. I cut out the second butterfly and glued it to the first image, looks like it's flying! I ran the top and bottom of the card through my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. And that's it! I like this card. Hope you do, too!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Mojo83 Thanks

Hey, last one for today! This is for Mojo Monday Challenge 83, a sketch. I used K and Company Bailey papaer (both sides of one sheet) for the dp. The cs is DCWV. The image is my new Flourishes set of Violets. So pretty! First time to use it (just got it Monday) :). Colored with Copics. The decorative border is punched with a Fiskers border punch (is that redundant?). The ribbon is Offray.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Peek-a-boo

I used CCEE's sketch to make this card for the Basic Grey challenge, to paper piece. I stamped the image, then stamped it again on each of the dp cardstock from BG's Urban Prairie. I used the pink for the hat and the "white" for the box. I found a feather from a pillow and stuck it on the hat! I used a pink Copic marker on the inside of the hat and Fluffle's nose. I cut the image out with Nestabilities ovals and the scallop from BG's pink. I put tiny pearls on the flowers on the pink side. The pink flower is from Hobby Lobby - Spare Parts, and the green is Primaflowers. Offray ribbon and Michaels pearl rhinestones completes the card. I had fun paper-piecing Fluffles!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Life's a Hoot!

Ok, there's a story behind this card. I knew I had a half-sister (my dad was married once before he married my mom), and he had a daughter from his first marriage. But we have never met, or even talked - until a little over a week ago! We connected and talked by phone. She lives in Texas, and I'm in Florida. But it was so cool to talk with her and finally know I have a big sister!!! So I made this card with her in mind. I'm going to put pictures with it and send it to her. It's going to say inside: Sisters: Like two peas in a pod! What do you think? Think she'll like it?

Ok, now the card: The image is Rachel Anne Miller's owls colored with Copics. CS is DCWV. Cut the image out with Nestabilities ovals and the scallop bg is Basic Grey's Perhaps - Princess' Pea. I put a tag from the same on the inside. The ribbon is Michaels Home & More Classic Collection.

Thanks a bunch for listenin' and lookin'!

Goin' on a picnic!

Ok, this is for Friday Sketcher's Challenge #48. I used this Sarah Kay image - isn't she adorable? I colored her with my Copics and cut out the image with Nestabilities Oval - the largest one. Yes, it cut off the end of the tire, but I fixed it. The image is popped up on foam dots. The card base is gray cs, and is DCWV as is the blue and yellowish green. The cream is unknown. All cs is from my scrap stash. The dp is from Basic Grey's LilyKate. It's 6x6 inches, all the same sheet! The pearls are from Michaels and the flowers are Primaflowers.

Hello

Hi! This card is for Penny Black's sketch challenge for week 45. All the cardstock I used is from my scrap collection! I love this teal with the dark purple. And the yellow is for the little bird and the golf tee. Actually, the yellow is Basic Grey from the Urban Prairie collection. The colored cs is DCWV. I colored the little hedgie with copics, cut him out, popped him up on foam dots. I also popped out the little bird after cutting it out. The purple panel behind hedgie is also popped out on foam dots. The ribbon: it's just because I wanted it :). I love sheer ribbon, don't have a lot yet, but I'm gradually collecting more. It's from Sheer Creations.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!
