Graduation Layout!

Hello Bleeps!

Today's project is a digital scrapbook layout for Late Night Stampers. I made a simple graduation layout of my son (it took  me about 10 minutes to make, using MDS from Stampin' up!!!!), he will be graduating in two weeks! Oh, where oh, where does the time go?!?!?!
School is out now, so I officially have a HS graduate, a 8th grader, 5th grader and the twins are 3rd graders (and my step daughter Gabby will be in 7th grade...I think, or maybe it is 8th....not sure!!!)......I wish I could pause life sometimes.....my babies are getting bigger and I don't like it one bit!!!(((sniff)))!!!
Anyways, I hope you like the layout...I was going for kinda a grunge look, LOL!!!

Patriotic for Late Night Stampers!

Hey There Bleeps!
I hope you had a very Blessed Easter, we sure did! Remember, Easter ain't all about eggs,candy and the Bunny, LOL!!! It's about what Christ did for us!!! And I'm sure glad He did....cause' I don't know about you...but I'm a sinner in need of help for life!! ;)

Well, today's card is for the challenge over at Late Night Stampers, to make something patriotic. I used some retired DSP that actually is a western themed paper pack, but I liked the colors and it did have some stars on it too!!!

That was a tough sketch, I tell ya'.

SpringTime Vintage in Blue!

G'Mornin' Bleeps!
I hope you had a Blessed Weekend! For today's card I used The new DSP from Stampin' Up! for the Design Team Challenge over at Late Night Stampers. We were asked to make a spring/Easer card....so I used the gorgeous SpringTime Vintage papers from the Occasions Mini catty!! I think the blue ones are my fave......so, I hated to cut it up!!! I used another one of my Grandma Tanner's buttons, which I think adds to the cards vintage look. It will take me awhile to get used to using these small little flowers from this new stamp set, also in the Occasions Mini ....they are two stamp stamps ,which I love....but are smaller stamps than I'm used to and took me a little bit to get it right....then, after trying so danged hard.....I decided to cut those little flowers out by hand.....which was a little time consuming, LOL!!! Then, DH said I needed another one on the bottom of the bow....so, then of course, I had to add it.....sometimes I wish  I had a craftin' friend at my beck and call.....just to ask those questions I run to him for....you know.....how does this look? does this need something? what's missing? LOL!!!! I think he personally likes to torture me and tell me stuff, just to mess with me (and get me outta his hair!!!), LOL!!!

But in the end, I liked it, or are the ribbon tails too much? I hope they don't look like octopus tentacles or something and what about the pearls and butterflies....too much too???? Hope it's not too busy for ya',  LOL.....I wonder what hubby would say......no, forget it.....I'm sooooo done!!!LOL!!!!

Have a fabby day and thanks so much for stoppin' by! ;)

Manly Card For LNS DT!!!

Hey There Bleeps (blog peeps!)

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Today's card is for the Design Team Challenge over at Late Night Stampers. The challenge was to make masculine cards. I will be the first to admit it that this is not my strong point, I do struggle with making masculine cards! Plus, I don't own alot of manly stamps or embellishments! I think that needs to change, LOL!!!

My card also fits in with last Sunday's Sketch Challenge# 55 over at Operation Write Home. I sponged the background and each panel as well....which is something I love doing!!! Sponging is my thang, LOL!!! I also distressed the panels with the distressing tool and used an embossing folder on them to give it texture! I hope you like my card....thanks so much for stopping by and have a BLESSED week ahead! ;)
