Pretty Flower Pot......

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Mine involved a personal emergency and cleaning... My Son Juston who

actually graduated HS early, is going to do his Graduation Ceremony on

Wednesday, and I really needed to get my house cleaned cuz we have some

family coming in for his special day. So super excited for him! :o)

The personal emergency involved my mom... She's OK.... But she

woke up in severe pain Saturday morning. So I had to rush her to

the hospital. They ran lots of tests and we spent a very long

day there, but they found what the problem was thank goodness,

and it wasn't life threatening... She's resting and taking the meds the

Doctor prescribe, so all is right with the world again! :o)

Here's a card I made to share with you this week.....

I made this card for my Mom for Mother's Day...

I've always wanted to make a Flower pot card....

And Thanks to my Silhouette I Can!!!

I designed the inside shape, cuz the card didn't

have that available, so I created my own... Printed the sentiment

then Cut it out with my Silhouette...

I used: My Mind's Eye Designer Paper

Bo Bunny Double Dots

Doodlebug Designs Gems

Baker's Twine

Button, Stamp, & Ink from Stampin' Up

My Mom LOVED her card! So did I! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Fabulous week

and an AWESOME DAY!!!

Mother's Day card Doily....

Happy Monday Morning everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous

Mother's day weekend! I know I sure did! We closed the store on Saturday

and I took my mom out to lunch in Cahone, CO. It's a lovely little restaurant

that most people might overlook in that tiny town... But I happen to meet the

owner one day... She came into my store and bought some items and saw

my cards there and said they were amazing, the she asked

me if she could sell some of my cards in her gift shop/restaurant...

I was honored she asked me and so I decided to go check out her place....

It's really cute and she has a country farm theme going on....

The food was yummy! She makes homemade ice cream and deserts

which we all had! LOL It's got a nice "down home" feel and my mom enjoyed it.

Which, is really all that matters.... right? Then my hubby surprised me

by ordering pizza for dinner that night.... YUMMY again! My oldest son

surprised me with some BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Balloons.... Then

on Sunday morning (I always make breakfast) my middle son Made

me my favorite breakfast (French Toast & Bacon) Yummy! :o)

My youngest son baked me a cake and my oldest made us

Spaghetti for dinner.... So it was a wonderful weekend where I

didn't cook anything at all! That's a first! LOL But it was really

sweet and nice of them to do! I was planning on crafting but

didn't do any.... But I did shop online! That's always fun IMO! :o)

Now that I've rambled on about my weekend... let me share a

cards I made that was inspired by a Stampin' Up card kit....

I used my wonderful cutting machine (Silhouette) to create it....

I sent this card to my Mother in Law....

I used Stampin' Up's digital paper that I

added it to my Silhouette library....

I made a 4 x 5 1/4 rectangle & 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 shape

then filled it with the SU digi paper....

Then I got a BEAUTIFUL (Samantha Walker) Doily &

a Dress form from the Silhouette store and filled

them both with SU digi paper....

Got a tag from the Silhouette store too and typed

out Happy Mother's Day....

I let my printer print out all the images on a 12x12 piece of

white card stock, then put it in my Silhouette,

where everything cut out so beautifully....

I added the crochet ribbon, cut out a flower from my SU flower ribbon,

used some twine to tie the tag... and inked a little here and there...

and BAM! I made a lovely card for my MIL... Which she LOVED! :o)

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope you all have a

wonderful week and have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

It's me..... MARIO!!!

Good Morning Everyone! I hope your weekend was great and

that your week is off to an AWESOME start! My weekend

was busy! MY oldest turned 20 on Tuesday last week then my

youngest turn 10 on Saturday. I threw him a sleep over Birthday

Party on Friday night with 8 of his closest friends! I can tell ya

that after the night was over.... I was EXHAUSTED! Boy....

a house full of little boys can wear a person down! LOL

All the boys had a BLAST! and the theme was MARIO!

So they got to play Wii games all night long and I had lots

of sugary goodies for the occasion...

So I thought today I would post the picture of the CUTE

banner I made for his party....

First off.... This is the very first banner I've EVER MADE!

Seriously! I've never made a banner before....

And I did it in 1 hours time! SERIOUSLY! 1 hour is all

it took me to make this!

I looked online for Mario Pictures and saved

them to my computer.... Then I imported them into my Silhouette

I used a couple different banner parts from

different banners I have in my Silhouette Library.....

I used Echo Parks Boy Digi Paper to fill in the

Banner pieces and let my printer and Machine

do all the work! Once it was done I just

put all the pieces together, then strung it up

using Baker's Twine! And BAM!

A CUTE Banner with my sons name on it, with

some of his favorite Characters!

I also created these Rosettes using my Silhouette and the
same images I got from the Internet....

There really wasn't mush around for "Mario" stuff...
At least where I live, and since I work all the time,
I really didn't have a lot of time to plan his party...
Soooo I improvised by using my Silhouette and images off
the Internet to create a simple, yet fun set up for my sons
Birthday party! Hunter LOVED everything I made for him...
Which is really ALL that matters! :o)

Thanks for letting me share my son's birthday
elements with you! Enjoy the rest of the week
and have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Such a CUTE SVG!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I know, I know.... Been a loooong while since you've heard from me! Sorry! But work is busy as always.... I've recently had time to make some cards and thought I would share them with you. First I want to THANK those of you who were sweet enough to leave me some Birthday wishes.... That was soooo sweet of you! Second.... I'm sorry no one is posting on my blog.... I told you awhile back that owning the thrift store would take a lot of my time up. Hoping my sister would step up and post. But She's had her own things going on, soooo.... I just wanted to take a moment and apologize for the lack of content.... I'm going to try to post at least once a week if time permits.... This is going to be my goal anyway.... so please be patient with me.... I've got sooo much going on right now... This past weekend I've spent time creating Party Invitations for my soon to be 10 yr. old. then I created 50 Graduation announcements for my second son Juston. He actually graduated early (back in December) but we wanted him to still have the ceremony, so May 22nd will be his big day! And then my oldest will be turning 20 tomorrow... OMGOSH! Time is flying by so fast! Anyway... enough gabbing from me! Here's a cute SVG card I made!

SERIOUSLY!! How CUTE is this card? I sooo Love it!

I used my Silhouette to create this card using an SVG file from

svg cutting files

They make the CUTEST files! I've downloaded a whole

bunch from their site.... Any who.... I created this using:

Card stock & Ink - Stampin' up

Designer Paper - MME Magnolia (I Think?)

SVG Spa Sandal from svg cutting files

Bow - Silhouette Store

Tag - Silhouette Store

Sentiment on the Tag was made in the Silhouette using my

computer fonts.

Gem - Doodlebug Designs

Jute - My Stash

Glossy Accents was used on the toe nails to give them

that painted toe look! LOL

Well I'm happy to be back.. even if it's just a weekly thing!

I miss everyone dearly and I try to pop in to visit you when

I have time... and I'm so glad I do.... You guys amaze me

every time I go to your blogs.... Hope to stop by soon!

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Have an AWESOME Day!!!

Happy Birthday Theresa......

Hello and happy Thursday! Today is my little sister's birthday. Yes, Theresa's....so I just wanted to post about it and let everyone know about it. I know it's been a while since I've posted....ok, a long while since I've posted, but, it has been really hard on my back so I haven't been able to sit or stand for long periods of time which also means I haven't been able to create either. I am just now able to move more freely so I'm trying to get some new pics up for you. I still have a few more procedures to go on my right side but it's looking brighter. Anyways, a quick catch up....Jordi had an ACL tear on his left leg and we (the dogs and I) are into week 4 of his recovery. The surgery was a little heartbreaking for me, watching him go thru so much pain but he seems to be getting better each day. He still can't play with his brother like he wants to but we'll get there. Ok, now onto today's card it's an oldie but a goodie....
