Another Sunflower for the Queen for the Day at SCS

Another sunflower card that I cased for the Queen for the Day Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. The Queen this week is Lois Bak, Lois is so good about taking the time to comment on so many cards. She is a true jewel! Anyway this is the card that I chose to case. I changed the Sunflower to one I already own (and if you check in alot just used a few days ago) changed the corner stamp to the words bloom different dp and ribbon but same basic layout overall. This is the first QFTD challenge I have done since returning to the stamping world and hope to do many many more.
Copics used were YR07, YR04, Y19,YG25,G24, E25, E33 and to outline B21.

Thanks so much for dropping by and I would love to stop by and see your blog also!

Hmm Sunflower/Magnolia

Hmm do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to come out right? Today was one of those for me. (Really unfortunate since it was 68 degrees here today) I saw some gorgeous Sunflowers on SCS and thought wow I need to do some of them. They are so cheery with the yellow and golds in them. So I used this very large Rubbernecker stamp I bought a few years back and wanted to add this sitting Magnolia also purchased a few years ago. Just don't feel the love for this one, don't really know why I bought it. But I do that alot... You don't even see this stamp around much. The last time I colored her up, just on the next page over was even worse than this. So I am on the fence about this card, it is okay but its needy of something. If you have feedback on a way to fix this card I would love to hear from you. I am going to try to post the copics that I use in my cards from now on, I hope to not have a senior moment and forget. I do however sometimes use Prismas so I will be sure to let you know when I do.

I am also in search of an answer to adding a Like, Dislike and No Comment box that could just be checked. I have marked it on my design/posts area and saved but it doesn't show up. If anyone can give me info on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by today and have a blessed day!

Father in Laws Birthday Card

This card is for my Father in Law (Raymond Bunner) Birthday, I thought it would be cute because he and my Mother in Law deliver newspapers, so my thought was he forgot to put on his pants because he was in such a hurry and didn't drink his two cups of coffee today! Since he is aging some I also thought it was funny that way too. Hope you all find this as humorous as I did and really hope he does! Yikes.... Have a great day!

Tom's Birthday Card

Today's card is for my BIL from my sister, inside it says " Know what your getting for your Birthday? OLD!" He and my Mom share the same Birthday, I am so focused on hers I forgot it was his until my sister called and asked me to make one for her. This guy doesn't look anything like Tom but maybe someday if he cuts off his hair and gets fat.... :) He turns 58 tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the card and have a fabulous day!

Stressed? Not Me!

Here is a fun card I made today on my DAY OFF! Yeah, I finally got to make something. It has been so long and I am feeling like I have lost my knack for card making, I know just about everyone gets to feeling that way sometimes. Even when I have an hour or so just haven't felt like coming down to my room and creating, could be because our basement is torn up.... My husband has been changing the water lines in our old house to get rid of the small galvanized ones so he has sheet rock dust everywhere. It doesn't seem to matter how much I sweep until it is over it is never over.... So rather than look at it I stay upstairs on the computer or busy with the business. We are still working every weekend right now but in a few weeks we are taking a week off to go to Phoenix and see my Mom, sister and our son. We are excited to be going down even though it is hot right now, it is still cold here. Gets down to around 35 at night still and that is too cold. Would love to hear what you think should go inside the card. I am not really sure how to word this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a terrific day and hope to post again Friday, yep I am off again!

A hectic life....

Good morning everyone, just had to get a posting in today. I feel so bad when I don't get at least one done in a week. We are working the Ice biz this weekend again so no crafting. This is a card I made about a month ago but hey at least I'm posting right? Todays is a rubbernecker stamp that I just fell in love with. The inside of the card says "Hey, how did my Moms butt get back there?" For those of you in your aging years such as myself I think you can appreciate it. For those of you young enough to not worry PREPARE yourselves! Have a great day and take care.....

Feeling Froggy?

Today is featured stamper day over at SCS, I love to participate and today is no exception. Today's feature is Kim (aka nutsymuhl) here are a few links to her blog and gallery. You may want to go check them out, she has a terrific style! This is the card I chose to case and mine is the post. Congratulations Kim!

Hillbillie Matthew

Here's a little story, we have some neighbors and they have the cutest little guy who is 3 now, his name is Matthew. Matthew is the smallest Hillbillie I have ever seen. Matthew is the wild child who does things like pee off the back porch and wears a Festus looking hat for those of you old enough to remember Gunsmoke! Anyway they took a trip to Yellowstone last year and the tourists took more pictures of Matthew because of his Hat! Karen (his Mom) said they were like paparazzi, it was so bad. So needless to say I thought immediately of Matthew when I saw this little guy. Hope you all like the story of Matthew and the card that portrays him!

Marvin LOL!

Hi Everyone, today we have a story! Yeah my first one.... This is Ralph although in my town we call him Marvin, so from here out that is what he will be called.....

1. Marvin sees life through rose colored glasses.

2. Marvin seems to think that the neighbor lady next door who is 30 thinks he's a hottie....

3. He is also very color blind, hence the mismatched socks and undies. He also has never heard of clorox bleach, that is why his underclothes are a tad dingy.... Just a tad mind you...

4. This flower of Marvin's is one huge flower in, Marvin's Garden of Eden!

5. I am not much of an artist but I do know Marvin!!! LOL
