Beach Day

Justin on his Boogie Board!! Oh, How he loves it!

My Smilin' Happy Boys!

April Sunset

Aren't these gorgeous pictures of the sunset? We had horrible storms on this day, with tornadoes and micro blasts! But the sunset this day was absolutely breath taking!

A few cards....

Here is this week's sketch challenge in SplitCoastStampers.com As you can see this is the template I (we) are given to come up with a card design. I quite enjoy these challenges, even if I do not get to participate in them as much as I used to these days.

My first card I did on Wednesday, the challenge day. She's my Free Swinging Girl! The second was done for today's challenge: the Limited Supply. Today was to use 1 wheel stamp, 1 stamped image, 1 sentiment, and 1 embellishment. This is the "manly" card I came up with today. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Wedding Invites

These are some of the Wedding Invitations I just did for a friend's daughter! Super simple and really cute.

The 2009 casacastes Fishing Team! Go Boys!

Happy Birthday, Jen

Well, I know her birthday was near the beginning of March, But I have been so busy, I haven't even had time to think about posting!

I read somewhere that Jen said she loved Owls, but doesn't know why she doesn't collect. I knew that my new 'Owl Together Now' set was the perfect choice for her birthday card!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek today!

Mr Ethan Head

Any more openings and he'd have more parts "on"!

Honey Mustard Thanks

Great Title, huh? Get it... Honey pot and the paper color is Mustard... I know corny! I love this cute little set (Just Buzzin' By) even more than I thought I would when I saw it in the preview!

So this is Wednesday's sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by today and taking a peek!

Always in Black

It's a Limited Supply Challenge. Black BackGround Card. I used 2 of the year's In Colors: Pink Pirouette, and Riding Hood Red. I uploaded to SCS about 1030 this morning, and it still hasn't been approved, so here it is until then! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Winter on the Slope

It's very cold today in Florida today. So maybe that is what inspired me to make a "Winter" card! This paper is called Ski Slope and I just 'had to have it', so now I 'need to use it'. I don't make too many white background cards, but I did today, and am very pleased with the outcome. Thanks for stopping by for a visit today!

Pinks on Inauguration Day!

Fun Colors of Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss and Bravo Burgundy. This is an old sketch, but I really like it.

I've been neglecting my blog lately. It will be even more neglected when I have to go back to work full time next month!

Now I'm off to watch some of the Inauguration. I have never watched one before, but I figure it's such a historic event, I should watch the swearing in. Plus I want to see what Michelle is wearing!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking things out!

At the Beach In January??!!

Yes, this is what we do in January in Florida! The water was too cold, but the breeze was cooling. Gorgeous Day!

SC210

Another Wednesday, Another fun sketch! I used bright happy colors today. My background medallions were inspired by some snowflakes I saw on a medical scrub top. I tried to re-create the same effect here by first inking with So Saffron and then rolling the edges of the stamp on the Cameo Coral pad. I really like the outcome. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

SC209 Baby Shower

I have been working so much lately, that I haven't been able to stamp, much less post on my Blog!

This is for Angela's baby shower. She's having a boy! (I'm partial to boys)

I think this sketch is really cute. I willhave to keep it in mind for more cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a safe, prosperious and Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday, Little Fisherman!

Wow! 8 years old already. He is quite the Fisherman. Has been telling me for a year he wanted a Fishing cake. This is the cutest. They did a really good job and it was tasty, too!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas Everyone Everywhere! Peaceful WIshes to All!

SC204 Swirly Tree

Today's Sketch is awesome. It' so versatile. I love this set called Snow Swirled. The only problem I have is that I have such a hard time picking out a a tree topper for this tree. This was the best option of them all today. Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

CC194 Really Going Vanilla

Can you believe Jen wanted to sell this stamp set??? SO glad she let me have (borrow) it! This is my Fall / Thanksgiving card. The colors to use today are Really Rust, Very Vanilla and Going Grey. Can you see the grey??? There really is some on here. It was tough to get it on there, but it's there.

Chocolate Party!

Today's Limited Supplies Challenge: Chocolate Theme. Must use chocolate paper and ink somewhere on the project. I chose a cupcake birthday theme. Stampin' Up!'s Chocolate Chip is currently my favorite color. It goes with just about all the other colors. Thanks for peeking into my BLOG today! Have a great weekend!

Shuttle 11-14-08

Look! It's the Space Shuttle. This is the view from my back yard. It was a BEAUTIFUL launch! This picture doesn't do it justice at all! My parents were both raised here in this area, and after my father retired from the Army, we moved back. I have been living here for 19 years and I still try and watch every shuttle launch. They amaze me. I hope our new President keeps our space program running.

Loving Skaters

Isn't this Fun? Today I was to use Kraft, Black and Red as my main colors. This is a two- way open card. The bottom gate panel opens out and then, the inner tree panel opens up. I have seen other stampers use the Trees as a background and that inspired this card today. The iced pond is made out of glitter blended in Crystal Effects. My lady is glittered up too! Thanks for taking a peek today. Enjoy!

More Pocket Silhouettes

Have I mentioned this is one of my favorite stamps and this is one of my favorite color combinations? I actually started out with Kraft and Sahara Sand this morning. Somehow Artichoke took over. And I really like the results.

The World

Another Challenge at SplitCoastStampers.com is the Color Challenge. Today's colors are Pacific Point, Basic Grey and Certainly Celery. This is an awesome combination! My first thought was of the ocean, so I used a World Map stamp. I can totally see myself using this combo again. I think it would be very pretty for something with flowers! Thanks for stopping by!

Special Guests!

So our Special Guest was Marilyn Monroe! Thank goodness the Captain was there in case the party got out of hand, especially since that Russian Sailor did show up! The Firefighter kept his eye out for safety violations! There wasn't any!

More guests!
