Surprise Birthday Party

We had a surprise birthday party on Saturday for my dear Sister in law, Tonya. I make this vinyl for her van. I used the Stick Figures Set from SVG Cuts. I used Catchup Thin Font for the name.

Getting Her Ready for College

Ok, I suppose most of this isn't necessary but it sure is fun to do for her.
So here is the break down for you.
Her laptop. Swirls from the Sure-cuts-A-Lot program,
Butterflies are from Hannah Montana Cart and Mardenz.
Mmmmm is from Graphically Speaking and the Spaghetti on the fork is From my Kitchen.
Her Hamper has a flourish from ??? I don't know, I'm sorry. If it is yours please let me know so I can give you credit.
Essential is also from Graphically Speaking.
I deserve pampering words are from Lori MacDonald & the lady is from Southern Belle.
Authentic is from Graphically Speaking & Snacks I did using Jokerman F0nt. You can download the Snack SVG here.

Working in Secret

So I haven't completely neglected my art, so don't worry. But I can't post for a while because I'm working in secret on a birthday present. Although the heat and allergies do hinder motivation I'm making pretty good headway on it. To be continued........

Pet Sympathy

A couple of friends lost their dogs of 13 and 14 years last week. I made these sympathy cards for them. The stamp set is from Stampin Up. I'm not sure the name of it because it is a friends. I used the Old West cart to cut out the signs which are wallpaper.

Cling Stamp Storage

I love the new Stampin Up DVD sized storage boxes. I finally got some more yesterday. Here is a picture of what I did

25th Anniversary

This is the anniversary card I made for my hubby's brother and his wife. They are renewing their vows on Sunday. The paper is from an old DCWV 8 x 8 pack I got several years ago. I used Heritage and Storybook Carts.

More Car Vinyl

Here is more car vinyl. I worked this up in SCAL last night while watching TV with my hubby.

Judson Eagles

So my baby will be heading off to college in just a few weeks. I created this SVG for our car. I think it came out wonderfully. It was much easier using the new Sure-Cuts-A-Lot update. 2.021. It took a while but not nearly as long as it used to to clean it up. Yeah. I think it looks great! I've got to make 3 more. 1 - DD 2 - DD's boyfriend 3-DD's boyfriend's parents. Now I just need to do some XC vinyl for the cars. Guess I should throw in some golf clubs for Jordan. If you would like to download this SVG, do so here.
Please remember to link any pictures back to my blog. Thanks.

Etching

So today I decided to finally finish etching my kitchen glasses. The Daisy and Welcome ones I did back last fall? (3 & 4 on the bottom row) For Chris - This was NOT a quick project. In fact it took all afternoon. The etching doesn't really show up on the glasses unless you are holding them so they look pretty uniform on the table. Nicely though you can tell which glass is yours hopefully. Anyone like a glass of ice tea?

Quickie Card

So I had a belated wedding shower this morning and needed a quickie card. So I used the cake couple from the Wild Card Cart and then cut 3 layers from one of Penny Duncan's Nesties. I ran the top one through my Sizzix Texture Boutique with my hearts folder. I sprayed it with some shimmer mist. While it dried, I ran and got dressed. Popped it on a DCWV Cards and added a few hearts. Whew!

90th Birthday

Our dear Pastor Gerber celebrated his 90th Birthday yesterday. I wanted to do something super special for this wonderful man. We have been so honor to work along side him. I used an Old Summertime Pack from DCWV paper. On the front I used a Cake from the cart From my Kitchen and the worlds from Wild Card. On the inside I used a cut file from Just for Sharing. Sadly she doesn't post anymore. I had just discovered her too. I used Zoo Balloo Cart for the Happy Birthday, Storybook for the 90 and the edging on the cake and a Child's Year for the Candles. I blinged the candles with a little Stickles.

Domestic Goddess Swap

Here is my apron I made for Celeste in the ArtHaven's Demestic Goddess Swap. We used a template from Stampington.com. Penny was a jewel and made up a handy dandy SVG for it. I used my Rustic Rooster Stamp Set from Stampin UP. The ink color is Red Hood Red. Yeah it's back!

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good girl this year. I worked really hard on planning a graduation and a wedding and I had to keep my house clean for a whole 2 1/2 months. For Christmas this year, I would really, really love one of these! Please!

Another Christmas Stock

Here is another Christmas stocking. It is a baby gift for the little boy for whom I made the lil' cowpoke card. I've got another 10 stockings cut out but I'm not starting to sew them until the air conditioning is fixed. LOL

New Greeting Farm Stamps

The Greeting Farm put several stamps in their clearance section and I snapped them up. The first one also has little fire engines from Everyday Paperdolls. I welded them together in Design studio. The 2nd one has a flourish I cut at my Mother's last week. It was either, Home Accents or Home Decor I think. 80! I did 15 quarts of corn for the freezer today and picked my first tomoato from the garden. It's still hot. at 10 p.m. the heat index is still 93.

YeeHaw!

I made this card fro a baby shower I am going to tomorrow. I used the sweet digital stamps from Elizabeth Bell. I used one of Tim Holtz's embossing folders. The words came from the Old West cart which was a wonderful surprise from my friend Hollie! I love, love how it came out. I've got to get the baby shower present made before tomorrow night.

Christmas Swap

Got this wonderful card from Annel as a part of the Christmas July Swap in my ArtHaven group. Isn't it beautiful. Thanks so much Annel! Check out her blog!

Fun with Mother

I am spending a few days with my folks and then heading to a Reunion.

Mother & I have been playing around with the Cricut and the Sissex Texture Boutique. Look at how my Mother used a border folder on just the table of the first picture. Love how it came out. The pictures out from A Child's Year Cart. She has also been making some really cute paper bows, but we haven't managed to take a decent picture. Oh Well.
