Merry Xmas

It's that time of year again...and getting my cards ready now is a big, fat bonus for me.  If I wait much longer I will run out of time to get them done.  I used the template from Sketchy Thursdays to design the cover.  Great template to use these little xmas icons.  Thanks again to the design team at Sketchy Thursdays

World Card Making Day

I made three new cards for World Card Making Day.  I needed to make some since I have a few birthdays coming up soon.  I usually wait until the last minute, so this helped me get a headstart on them before the holidays get into full swing.  I guess I better get going on those Christmas cards too....

Jelly Belly for the "second chance candy prompt"

I really enjoyed making this scrapbook page.  Jelly belly candy is so bright and cheerful...it just kept me smiling the whole time I was making the page.   One of the reasons my daughter and I love this candy is that you can combine flavors to get yet a different flavor.  And now that they have added the Coldstone ice cream flavors to the mix...the rootbeer float can actually taste more like a rootbeer float!!!!  Thanks to the team at Sketchy Thursday's for coming up with this prompt...great fun!!!

Magical Season

The magical season of believing anything can happen...
Always excited and ready for the holiday's.  And, as you can see, the little girl with the dramatic flair who keeps everyone believing........

Growing up

These pictures are some of my favorites from when these two were growing up. Seeing the pictures makes me miss that time in our lives. So sweet and lovable...can't help but have a feeling of pride when I think of how they've grown and where they are now in their lives.

mom & me

This "mom & me" scrapbook page is in remembrance of my mothers 60 th birthday. She shared her cake with her grandson, Greg, who was celebrating his 6th birthday the day before hers. Greg thought it was so funny that you could turn the cake around and it showed a "06" for his age :) !!!

Hoppy Halloween

Halloween is one of the best holidays !!! My favorite time of year. The way children light up when they know they are going to get dressed up into whatever costume they want :) Ashley made the perfect bunny...and the inquisitive face she made is priceless. Sharing Halloween with her siblings was also priceless. Time shared is always priceless :)

This sketchy Thursday scrapbook page is of my last visit to see my grandmother before she passed away. She was one of the sweetest, most compassionate women I have ever met. She was a woman to emulate. She is missed by many...
