Dad

Dad in a happy moment. I wish I could remember what he is laughing about. If you could hear him you would just have to laugh too.

We just had Dad's funeral yesterday. Tomorrow he will be buried with full military honors. Though he has gone from this life, he is now living a new life with Jesus. He is now celebrating his arrival in Heaven. Those in attendance are friends and loved ones, Grampa, Nana, Maybel, Brian, Mom, Billy, and Rachel and many others. Though I have not mentioned there names they are missed none the less. We will see each other again one day and we will celebrate too. I will miss you Dad.

Cards From February MW Express

Hi everyone! I have been playing today with my Feb. 2010 MW Express Kit. Mamma Mia. I made five cards related to love. The pics do not do them justice. This card was made with the CS in the kit and the Sentiments were also part of the kit the Flowers are Petaloo from MW. The bling in the flowers are zva crystals also from MW. It is hard to tell but, I embossed the card base using my cuttlebug and hearts folder. I also use zva dots to pop the sentiment.
Oh you can see that I did emboss it on this pic. The brownish flower has sparkles on it makes it so shinny. I really like the pink! Don't know why. I don't usually like pink. Hmmm I wonder if it is my age? Well we won't go there. lol.


Oh and I should mention that the pearls are not from MW. They are from my stash. I have more to post a little later. I have something else pressing me at this moment, so I will try to come back later to post the rest.

A New Project

Hi everyone. It has been a challenging 2 months. At this time my DH and I are staying at my Dad's while he is recovering from an infection. He has emphizema (spell). When he has a cold or in this case bronchitis, the empizema stirs up as well. It is taking a very long time for him to overcome this set back. Meanwhile I stay with him to help him like with cooking and real basic stuff for him. The cleaning that I cannot do for him gets down by people from Helping Hands. Thank God for them. After getting into a routine, I have begone to work on some of my paper crafting. So this post is to show you what I have been able to accomplish during quiet times. In the photos above you will see the Giant Nugget Box I made. I found the directions to make the box from http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2009/11/giant-nugget-boxes.html It is fun to make, but hard to resist the chocolates. Most of the products I used to make the box, cards and nugget wrappers come from my own business; MemoryWorks. I have placed a sizable order from "myself" and am now creating different things to showcase the products I sell. If you are interested in checking out my website please go to http://patsscraps.memory-works.com/ Create you own account to get your very own shopping cart. Then go to "shop our products." There you will find a large variety of scrapbook supplies from many companies. Check out Simple Stories, the exclusive scrapbook system by MemoryWorks. As soon as I get my kit and supplies I will be posting my simple story here as it progresses. If you are looking for directions for the cards, envies, and nugget wrappers, go to "my blog" on my website. I will be posting the directions there soon.
I hope you are having a happy scrapfilled day.
Thank you for stopping by.

This is a new card I created last week for my husband's boss. We were invited to an end of summer party at their beautiful home. I wanted to bring a hostess gift and this is what I gave them. The party was great and there was lots of yummy food to eat.

This is a card but I thought it would be a perfect place for a couple of photos too. They said they loved it too!

Here are a few cards I have made recently. I just love the 3d punchouts!

The first two were made using the suede paper. I just love that paper! Got to have more! I really like making these kinds of cards.

Card for Heros

Here I used a peircing tool to make the design on the velum piece. Makes it look so lacey. Thanks Kathy of CTMH, (and my Sis) for that new technique. Well its not new but, to me maybe.

This card I made for a card challenge on the Cricut Message Board. Hmmm, I don't remember posting that on the board. Boy, this last month has been a very busy one. I'm surprised I even got a card done. Any way I used papers from MW Dreamy 2 promotion. Love that Cardstock. I cut out the sunflower using the Walk in My Garden cricut cartrige.

This is another card I made for the same challenge on the Cricut Message Board. Hmmm, don't remember posting this one either. Oh well, I used all MW paper from the Dreamy 2 promotional kit. and the flowers are from Petalo and Dazzles. I cut out the "Thinking of You". with the Walk In My Garden cricut cartrige.

Ok I am back. I had to go do some errands. So now I am going to post some pics of the cards I have been working on this past month. There are quite a few so here goes.

Here are a few cards I made for our troops overseas. I also had made some at a crop for heros about a month ago, but I didn't get pics for them. Instead I left them to be mailed out with a whole lot more. I am going to another Crop for Heros at the Scrap and Yack Shack. I am so excited I can hardly wait. This place is a brand new place. We are hoping the store will be opened. If not, then that will be ok too. That will just give me another excuse to check it out when she has her openhouse. Congrats to you Patsy! Can't wait to see your shop all set up.

woo hoooo!

Ok coming back to earth.

I am back! Sorry I was gone so long. (Holding head down in shame.) I have created a few cards since my last post. And I am so sorry I hadn't gotten them posted till now. My excuse is that when I get time on the computer I have so many things to check out that I never get throught them all. So today I made time for this.

This card I made for my Dad for Father's Day. The 3D image I downloaded from Monica's 3d Sheets at http://www.3dsheets.com. She has some really cool images. Thanks Monica.

I have other cards that I have been working on. some for the troops Cards for Heros and other personal cards as well. I will be posting them as well sometime today. Thanks for looking.
