Finally got my pics. to download

Here Cody is playing with the neighbors dog, Rocky:) The pink and white card was inspired by Page Maps June edition. The papers are from K+Co. The buttons by Doodlebug, ribbon from Michaels and the tag Baby Girl unknown. I cut the scallops out with scissors. The masculine card papers are all from a previous kit, Club Scrap. The twine and the brads were included in this kit as well. The sentiment is by Studio G and stamped with SU's ink. I colored in the tiny hearts red and added a little bit of sparkles. I really liked the way the Page Map card turned out, however I should not have added the beads to the buttons. Tonight I am going to make another one.

Murphy's Law......

Any thing that could have gone wrong yesterday did........I wish that I could "go back in time" to prevent yesterdays misfortunes. It all started when we received a call from my mother-in-law (who was baby-sitting our dog Cody) Cody escaped from her back yard and was no where to be seen! Here we are on the highway, about one hour from home ,and we could do nothing! Everyone in the car is super upset and teary eyed thinking about Cody. Cody is a full-breed German Shepard who is terribly spoiled. He is a big dog but he is a BIG baby! As soon as we got home, my husband unpacks our overnight bags to hopefully make room for Cody. When he pops the trunk...my lap-top spills out of the bag and onto the garage floor! All I could do is watch in horror! How could this have happened? I am terribly up-set as we leave the house In our search for our dog. We get there and we walk around the neighborhood calling Cody,asking nearby neighbors if they had seen him....nothing. We spent two hours looking for our "pooch" and nothing. Everyone has a sad face, each one of us suffering wondering about Cody's fate. We get home and it's confirmed, my laptop isn't working properly....I am "sick"!

I had soooo much on my mind. I went to my scrap area and made to cards. I needed the therapy. Everyone is lost into their own thoughts, trying not to hurt.

This morning my husband called the dog pound, they could not answer any of his questions about Cody. They told him that he would have to come down there. My husband went and guess who was there.....Cody! After they called and made sure that Cody's shots were up to date, my hubby had to still pay $72.00 for Cody's stay there.
All of us were happy that Cody is back home. After that we took my lap-top to the shop.....that will cost $150.00 to repair it! I'm "telling-you" it seems that as soon as you think that you have an extra dollar or two, something happens to take care of that! On top of all of this, upon sitting down to my desk-top (which is now the kids, and they are rushing me off of it by the way) I open a bottle of pop and psssssssst....the pop gushes out of the bottle everywhere. I think that I'm gonna go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow:)

Have a Wonderful 4th of July!

I will not be posting anything until after the holiday. My husband and I are going out of town early in the morning and will not be back until Thursday evening. I just want to take a minute to say have a wonderful and safe 4th of July! I did make two cards this afternoon and I was pleased with the results. Although my brads are slightly crooked...I'm still happy:) I know that one day I will look back and cringe at my cards but I have to keep going until I find my niche. All papers are from SU except the baby print. The sentiments are acrylic stamps from Studio G and the flower bouquet is from Hero Arts. I colored the flower image with my prisma pencils and tried to blend the colors, but I still am not sure of myself. The sentiment "boy" is sprinkled with very fine glitter and the petals and leaves are dabbed with the same very fine glitter.

A week and NO kids....?

It all sounded good to me...relatives would take my ds and dsd back with home with them. The kids are supposed to be in Grand Rapids until Sunday. I was lost in my thoughts,enjoying the quiet bliss when hubby interrupts my thoughts....."lets surprise them and go down to Grand Rapids on the 4th of July." "Huh" I said..."surprise them?" My husband is a big "softee" he misses them and they have only been gone 4hrs...geez!

Ok,so I'm guilty too...I miss my son and my step-daughter too! but I WAS looking forward to a week of "peace and quiet":)

I did make a card today...I got the inspiration out of SU's spring catalog. The c/s is SU's. The printed paper is from Provo Craft, flower traced and cut from a chipboard dye-cut, brads Making Memories,ribbon is from Michaels and acrylic stamp is from Studio G and I used sticlkles to embellish the edges of the flower.

Another busy day!

I did have time to make two cards. The first card is ok with me but not great. The second card is a 4th of July invitation. I thought it was kind of cute. I don't have any stamps for the 4th of July theme so I use stickers. I can't believe how cool it has become tonight...58 degrees! Don't get me wrong,I am not complaining...it's good sleeping weather and I like to cuddle:)
