Hey Grad!




Here is a little graduation book I made for Mike's godson. This is another one of those Bobunny books the book spelled out GRADE so I dropped the E and made it Grad. I used his school colors for the book. The photos are the ones that I took of him for the page layout I posted a few weeks ago. I added some fun graduation embellishments and thought since he plays the guitar it would be fun to add some guitar and music notes to one of the pages. Thanks for peeking in! Hope everyone had a great and relaxing Father's Day!

Sympathy



Wahoo! I checked the mail and guess what?? My new stamp set came today! Woot! This set is from Papertrey and is called Everyday Blessings. There are so many cool verses on this set you wouldn't have to use them for just sympathy cards. I knew what I wanted to do and after I finished I went out to the Papertrey sight just to see what they had done and I kid you not it looks like I totally copied them but I didn't. I knew I wanted to use these plum colors for my cards tonight and it is so funny but the colors and even the ribbon match! Crazy. Any who you should check out Papertrey if you can. These gals are great!
Mike's treadmill test went fine today. He did very well. He said he felt good when he got done. I think the exercise is good for him. Anyway the Doctor is out doing his rounds in the small communities for the rest of the week so the nurse told me that he would be looking over everything this week and maybe even this weekend. So we should know something the first part of next week.
Thanks for checking in on us. Hope you're having a good week thus far!

Hey Baby!

Ok chickies, I have had this sweet little bella stamp for a year or so and haven't had the need to use it until this past weekend. Mike's family was hosting a baby shower for one of the cousins and I thought HELLO! I can finally use this stamp! I give all the credit of this layout to Whimsey because I totally scrapjacked this idea from her, check out her blog here, she is so talented! I tweaked up the colors and used the swiss dot embossing folder on the yellow cardstock. Thanks for producing such great inspirations girly!

Keep us in your thoughts tomorrow...Mike has his treadmill test. Hopefully it will show that his heart is doing great! We might be able to get off of some of this yucky medicine too!Thanks for stoppin' in tonight!

7 Wonderful Years!


We celebrated our 7th anniversary Sunday June 1st. Let me tell you we were both reminiscing about everything we went through in April and the fact that we almost didn't have one to celebrate. Thank God things happened the way that they did! This was the card that I made for Mike. I bought this sweet little Bella stamp several months back with the intention of making our anniversary card. I just love Bella stamps they are so much fun...in fact I think there are a few new ones I need to check out! Thanks for sneakin' by...I have to get a back to watching the Bachelorette...I know, I know...what am I thinking? Have a good night!

Basic Grey Cards



Holy Cow-a-moly! These cards were so fun to make! They are for a class that I am teaching at Scrapbook Garden in June and July. The cool thing about them is that you use the 6x6 square pad for all of the cards. I am so silly...I never thought of using them to make cards. You can pick up the line that you want and not waste so much when you make the cards and the 6x6 pad is only about $6! I love most all of the BG lines because they are so edgy and fun. Some times some of their papers are a little out there but I love that because it makes you think outside the box. This paper line is called Boxer but the buttons are from the Recess line and the fibers are from the Fruitcake line. Thanks for stoppin in...hope you had a great Friday!

Flip Flop Fun



Isn't this the most fun little summer project you have seen? This is a class that I am teaching at Scrapbook Garden in June and July. I managed to put it together in one evening. It is really very simple and what a fun way to display your summer fun or maybe a fun vacation. The front and back of the book are a real pair of flip flops! The paper and embellishments are from a company called Quick Quotes.

Thanks for checkin' up on me! I have been pretty swamped at work and home so I haven't been doing much bloggin' lately. My birthday was last weekend and our anniversary is this weekend. I have so much to be thankful for! Mike took me out to dinner at this really neat place in a small town on the outskirts of Wichita. I will post pics and share details of that later. Hope you're having a great week so far!
