Fall & Thanksgiving Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly blog hop.

This month's theme is pretty obvious....right?

....and what a great theme it is too. 

Fall is my fave time of year. 

What better way to celebrate the holidays is with PIE!!!!

If there was a table full of desserts of every kind imaginable.....

I would choose PIE, any kind of PIE!!!

So,  I just had to make a PIE themed card. 

This would make a great card to add to a gift of a real pie. 

Created the pie with punch and strips. 

Used the circle card thinlit to create the card base.

Fall & Back to School hop

OOooooWeeeee I'm glad school is back in session.  

Only two more years and I'll be done sending my 'caboose' off to school.

She's a Junior now and its should be interesting. 

This is her on her first day of school this year.

She loves her cosmic bag and skirt.  

She wants to be a make-up artist when she finishes all her schooling.

I know she will do a great job.

She's also on the school information staff.

They have student TV correspondents every day

and she does all the make-up and some reporting of various stories. 

Ok, now to my project. 

I had to create something fitting for a cool teenager sooooo...

I created this cool sneaker.  

I found this paper pattern in an older paper crafting book I have and it turned out really cute. 

I used Whisper white, Basic Black and Melon Mambo card stock.

So grab your sneakers and join in the hoppin' fun.

Summertime Blog Hop

Sometimes life is just SUNSHINE.

You wake up in the morning and every thing just feels perfect....

don't you love that feeling. 

Just like the Chicago band song.

I created this one to look like a field of flowers against a 

colorful dawn or dusk sky. 

You choose which.

It just feels like Summer to me!!!

Don't forget to cruise with the top down and visit the other Summertime gals.

Don't forget to leave them some sunshine (comments).

The list below will help you in case the sun blinds you a little on the way.

Celebrate....celebrate.....!!!!

I think the biggest celebration of all should be 

BIRTHDAYS!!!!

Yes, there are a lot of people born on the same day....

but your birthday is ...YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!

We have a joke at our house about holidays being RED on the calendar. 

The hubs says "if it ain't red on the calendar then it ain't a 

holiday".

So now I go over MY birthday date with a red sharpie........bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Hope everyone has a great birthday this year!!!!

This is my virtual card for you!!!!

I love the look of a topiary.

I used my fave stamp set in the new catty........

SPRINKLES OF LIFE.

Don't forget to check out all the celebrations going on during this blog hop.

Give everyone a gift of a comment.

Father's Day blog hop

Nothing is more special when you see the smiles on the faces of the dads and the kids 

when they presents are being presented.  The kids get just as much kick out of it as the dads do. 

I know a lot of card makers have a hard time creating masculine cards.  

I don't......I love creating them.  

It doesn't hurt to throw in a little feminine touch though. 

I love this one.  The muted colors and the wood grain look on the banners.....

awesome!!!!

Check out the new catty startng June 2nd. 

Lots of cuteness happenin'

Happy Mother's Day Blog Hop

What a beautiful holiday to celebrate....after all, NONE of us would be here 

if it hadn't been for our Mama's.....Right!?!?!

I will be sending this cutie to my mother-in-love. 

 My Mama passed away many many years ago.

 Isn't this window kinda spectacular???  

I just recently purchased the Scallop lines thinlit and was playing around with it and 

I cut out two Strawberry Slush pieces and layered them on top of each other, but I flipped one to 

create this fab piece. 

I had to cut out a window in the card base to really highlight it. 

 Close up

   

I used Sahara Sand ink foladr the stamped images. 

Strawberry Slush for the sentiment.

Now for the line-up of the most gorgeous projects from even more 

gorgeous ladies!!!  If you got here from Kathya, then click on the NEXT button below
