Hey ya'll!

Yay for humpday!  Wednesday is always a good day for me.  Two days closer to the weekend.  I'm still surprised at how nice my week has been.  I keep waiting for something to happen, but am hopeful that it won't.  My sister and her husband and my "fur nephew" will be up for the Labor Day weekend, and I'm just thrilled! 

So, I created this pretty little thing on Monday evening.  Check it!

I keep trying to join in on the Mojo Monday sketches, every week, but haven't had time.  I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity this week though.  I'm going to stick this in my friends' daughters backpack next time she's over to hang out, so that she'll find it at another time.  I hope she likes it.  I love how bright and cheerful it is.

I'll be back tomorrow with the first FYI challenge for the month of September.  I can't wait to share all of the news with you!

Hugs! 

BOO!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a good start to your week this week.  I know it's only Tuesday, but by now I can always tell how the rest of my week is going to go. lol  So far, I'm having a fantastic week, thank goodness.

I have another card to share today.  I'm not sure what to think about it just yet, but I'll share it anyway.

The owl is absolutely adorable, and I love the banner, but it seems a bit plain to me.  I may have to take it apart as well, and tweak some stuff on it, to get it more to my liking.  It is my first Halloween card of the year, and for that, I'm happy.  I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

Inkspirations Color Challenge #84 - Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango & Whisper White
Sketchbook Saturday #26 - Sketch

Hope you'll check back on Thursday for our next FYI challenge!  I'll be back tomorrow with another something fun.

Hugs!

Feel Better

Hi ya'll!

Did you have a good weekend?  It was another hot one for us here in DFW, but we managed to stay cool in the pool.  I love having a pool.  My brother in law was in town for a ministry conference, so it was nice to spend some time with him as well.  I did get to crop on Saturday night at my friend Joni's.  We had such a blast.  She's truly a blessing in my life. 

I got a couple of cards put together, but this one is the one I liked most. 

I'm sure by now, ya'll know how difficult it is for me to create masculine cards.  My friend helped me with some of the elements of this card as well.  This time he chose the colors chocolate, red and tan (for which I used kraft again), and buttons.  He also wanted me to create a masculine card.  This isn't the original card I put together first.  I did take it apart and add a couple of things before I was truly happy with it.  I think it turned out ok.  It just so happens that recently one of my transportation contacts was injured while playing basketball at a family bbq, and wound up in a coma from a concussion.  He's awake and coherent now, but it was a reminder of how quickly things can alter ones life, and another huge reminder of how short life can be.  My supervisor and I agreed that we should send him a card.  I'm going to enter it in the following challenges:

Crazy4Challenges #102 - Masculine
Cards 4 Men #17 - Anything Goes
Colour Create #78 - Kraft, Red & White
Papertake Weekly 8/23 - Dies

It's back to work for me today, but I will be busy in the evenings this week creating some stuff for a special order.  I don't normally take orders, but my friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  Dang peer pressure. lol  I'll be back soon with another card.

Also, before I forget, we've got some new stuff happening over at the FYI blog on Thursday.  I can't wait to share the news, and introduce you to my two new girls.  I'm SO excited!  Don't forget to check back on Thursday to see what all I'm talking about.

Have a great day!
Hugs!
