365 Cards - Day 61 - Leaf it up to me

365 Cards challenge for today is to incorporate a leaf or leaves on your card.

I have to admit that I made this card, and 3 more, this last weekend at a workshop I attended. But, I really have to clean up my craft table. I have a huge table (3x6 ft) and not an inch of space to work. I have just managed to keep pulling things out and not putting anything away. So tonight I am going to start the clean-up.

Anyway, this card does fit the bill for today.

I know it is all Stampin Up stuff. But I don't know the names of any of it. Except Kiwi Kiss is the really cool name of the green paper and ink. Oh, yeah, and Cheep Talk is the name of the stamp set. I ordered the ink, papers and the stamp set. I couldn't help it. Too cute.

365 Catch Up and Mojo Monday

Played catch up tonight. I had 3 cards to make for 365 Cards. And I used the Mojo Monday sketch for one of them.

Day 60 - What? - Use "What?" on your card. This is the one I used the Mojo Monday sketch on.

My oldest dd was coloring some Hello Kitty pages and I saw this one of Kitty gettin' her drink on.

Day 59 - A Certain Sentiment - I Miss You or similar. My wonderful nephew is in boot camp and can only receive mail so I made this for him. I didn't want it too froo-froo.

Day 58 - Something's Fishy - Put a fish on your card. I don't like my coloring, but I won't change it. I'll let one of my girls give it to one of their friends.

Thanks for looking.

And I will probably add more. I just ran out of time.

Go over to Opus Gluei and get in on the fun.

Menu Monday

I haven't done one of these in a bit, so I better get back on it.

Sunday - Hot dogs, baked beans, oven fries and salad. I also had some Broccoli salad from the grocery store. I don't make it because no one else here will eat it. The grocery store's is pretty good.

Monday - Homemade shredded beef tacos. I made the beef in the crock pot on Sunday. Megan and I have already shredded it. Now I will just put them together and fry them. Tons of calories, but WAY more fun and better tasting.

Tuesday - Chicken something

Wednesday - Ground beef something

Thursday - Sandwiches. Morgan has a track meet and it has to be a quick meal.

Friday - Pizza and Survivor.

Saturday - Grilled something.

Don't forget to check back for the actual meals we had. They are prone to change. Daily.

365 Cards - Super Sketchy Sunday

365 Cards challenge for today was to use this sketch.













Here's mine. I couldn't play with my papers and toys until tonight. Today was pretty busy. But I got it done. Love me some Friendly Forest. It's just so cute.

I even added a cute Friendly Forest journal tag inside.

I forgot to take a photo. But trust me, it's there.

Thanks for looking.

365 Cards - Days 55 & 56

Played catch up this evening for 365 Cards. I had another project I was working on for the challenge on Opus Gluei. (see my previous post) They are having a big Blog Candy give away. Big reveal on Monday. There are a couple of teasers on the site. Anyway, I finally sat down and made yesterday's card and today's.

Day 55 - Card Recipe

5x5 Card

4x4 Patterned Paper (edge could be altered)

1 Shape

3 jewels

Alphabet stickers

Nothing More.

Here's mine.

Day 56 - See thru Saturday

Make an acrylic card. (clear) I don't have acrylic cards, I had planned on using a photo overlay at first. Then I found this binder divider/pocket thingy that I rescued from my darling daughter's trash can. She throws everything away. I am a packrat. She gets it from her dad. Anyhow, it isn't exactly clear, but mostly clear, so I thought it would work. And I really like how it turned out.

Anyway, it's late. I am tired. I think I'll go to bed now. Don't want to be awake for the next challenge to post. (I was the other night. Boy did I pay for it the next day!)

Thanks for looking.

Blog Candy Give away and new Challenge up at Opus Gluei - and Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog

Opus Gluei give away and new challenge.

PLUS new challenge at:

Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog.

You really have to check out the new challenge at the OG. (my nickname for it) AND check out Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog.


May is just around the corner and the challenge is to make something flowery to give to someone on May 1st.





I made these little posey holders to hang on a few of our neighbors doors.

I used my Silhouette cutting machine to design and cut the sides and the flower medallions. Inked the edges, glued everything together, tied ribbon, stamped "Happy May Day" on the medallions, tied the medallions onto the posey holder, cut the silk pansy spray to fit and Viola.

My plan is to sneak them on their doors in the morning.

I won't be telling them that they are from me.

OG is also having a wonderful give away. So far there have been a few sneak peaks. Here and here. Another sneak is going up tomorrow with the big reveal on Monday.

Scrappy Frog is giving prizes too. Go check them out here.
