Sympathy Kitty

 

Have you ever noticed that you never have enough sympathy ideas.  Somethings are too cutsie or just flowers.  I think that sometimes it can be a little cute if it fits the loved one who has passed on.

This is a card I made for a friend who lost her kitty.  I just thought the saying was perfect.  Thank you Dr. Seuss.  Images are Bugaboo, stamped greeting is Hero Arts (a great new sympathy set) and the paper is, I have no idea.  If it's really important let me know and I will figure out where the paper came from.

Heat Wave

So lately I haven't been feeling that great and need to get some energy.  The fact that the temp is, OMG!!! Comcast says it is 21 degrees right now.  It's like a heat wave, burning in my heart.  (You should sing that last line).  Anyway, haven't posted for a few days but trying to get back at it.  My MS is doing dumb things to my mouth.  Yes that's what I said my mouth.  It is definitely the dumbest disease ever.  Right now my tongue feels like I took a mouthful of scalding coffee and held it for a moment.  It's so annoying.  I know it will go away but for now I will use it as an excuse to go to DQ.  "BLIZZARDS AWAY!!!"

BTW, that's Maggie!!  She makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, when she's not puking on something. 

One Tequila Two Tequila

I love Bugaboo.  Papers are BoBunny (I think) and coloring of course, copic markers. I'm so bad at remembering to scan the inside of the card before I send it off.  Inside it says... wait for it.... "Floor!"... I amuse easily.

Kabatogama Accordion Mini Album



Accordion Mini Album for Nathan, Shawn and Christy.  I actually made the books last year and my sister-in-law asked me to put pictures into it for this Christmas and I got them done and then forgot to bring them on Christmas.  So I still have them and will hopefully get them to her soon.



Sympathy Daisies



Whether we like it or not, we should always have some of these on hand.  The daisy is from "The Angel Company" (I think), the greeting and cardstock is "Stampin' Up!" and the image is colored with Copic Markers (my favorite).



THE BIRTH OF A BLOG!!!

All right if I had any idea about what I was doing here I might be able to add some dramatic music like trumpets and such announcing my blog "Holy Crap, I made this!".  Now I will  share with you some of the things I am making or have made in the past.  This could include messes that I've made, children that I've made and maybe just some creative things that I've made. 

So, I'm not really sure if anyone will care but I will now tell people about my blog.  If you are reading this then I can tell you to expect a lot of silliness, misspellings (and please do not spell check or grammar check me, no one likes that) hopefully some cool stuff I've made and also the flops.  Maybe I can inspire someone or entertain someone for just a little while.  I might even manage to irritate some people but I don't care.  If you want to see something let me know.  I'll see what I can do.  You will also probably read lots of rambling on about nothing much, like right now.  Anyway, thank you for taking the time to show an interest in what I'm doing and I will try to not be too boring.  But I can't promise anything. 

Hedgehog Valentines



Some of my adorable Penny Black Hedgehogs.  These were just the cutest cards.



Crabby Cats Note Card set for CFC Silent Auction



I made these cards from the Bugaboo Crabby Cats set and a bunch of really cute paper I got in the Hot Spot at Archivers.  I love this paper and can't find anymore, boo.  Anyway, this set raised $45 for Caring for Cats and I was pretty proud of them.  And the wonderful person who bought them also ordered 2 more sets.  Yippee! 



Letterbox Frame for Ben and Jeanne

I created this as a wedding gift for Ben and Jeanne.  I had so much fun experimenting with different effects and products.  I put an acrylic block over the picture of them at the alter and used some of the papers and ribbons from their invitations and from the decorations at the wedding.  I really wanted it to express the beauty of the day and also their humor.  I also took the pictures which made it easy for me to get exactly the shots I wanted.  Not too bad for my first box.

I'm going to do this thing.

OK, so I'm going to blog.  I'm not sure what that means or really if anyone cares but here it goes. 

I just posted my first picture and it wasn't too hard.  And right now I know the girls are upstairs waiting for me to take them to get their hair done.  So this is really all I have to say for the moment. 

The birth of a blog,  hummmmm, I feel like I should have something really deep and inspirational to say but sitting here in nothing but my robe with my husband vacuuming in the other room all I can think of to say is, ....... well nothing. 

Maybe later I will be a little more entertaining.  I will try, not that anyone will really be reading this but me.

This is the card I made for my nephew Josh's 10th Birthday.  I love Bugagoo images they just make me so happy.  Of course the copic markers are the only thing that really make this work.
