What I learned

I learned how to make this scored easel card last weekend at a SU party.   Cute huh?

I decided to make a few more of them yesterday.

First you cut a  12 x 4 piece of cardstock.   Score at 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches.   Fold the score lines so you have a mountain, valley and mountain…   Or  the shape of an ‘M’…  

Decorate the top flap.  and stand it up..   Decorate a small strip on the inside bottom flap.

Add a little button,  or a brad to the bottom inside flap.  That will help hold the card up.

Products Uses:   PTI – Petal Power background.  Blooming Button Bits.  CTMH – Sweet Leaf, Cranberry red, Vanilla cream.  Round punches. Buttons. My Minds Eye paper. Pearl brad. Twinkling H20’s.

Thanks Judy!

I spy

Boy Stuff!  That is what I spy.   Carter spent the night.  My house is covered with Cars, Trucks, Airplanes, Helicopters, Books and Tools.   He’s been carrying this little drill everywhere he goes. 


This airplane came with the drill.   It can be taken apart and put back together.

This is the kind of books we read…

Just A Kid

I was playing around with photo editing today.    What a fun effect.  I changed the photo of Carter to Hard Mix.. which creates a kind of funky Andy Warhol look.

Gift Registry

Sunday I went with Scissorbella and Prince Charming  and David’s Mom, Jackie, to do their gift registry for their wedding.  What an adventure!  So much fun stuff to choose from!
Our first stop was Kohls.   David was quite excited to use the gun!





After two hours at Kohls, we went to lunch at Jimmy Johns and had some great sandwiches.  Its the first time any of us had been there.


Oh Brother!  Another picture??

Our last stop.  Target.  Its amazing how much stuff they have to choose from!   Decisions! Decisions!






Done!

Sending Sunshine

Is it Spring yet?  I am really wanting it to arrive.   Last weekend when I was at my Mom's we noticed that her Iris are starting to come up. ...  and a couple of days ago I noticed that my Day Lilies are starting to sprout little green strands from the cold earth.   Such a tease!



I love this Verve stamp - Accent Notes! and not too long ago I ordered the CTMH paper - Sweet Home - X7116B... such pretty colors. Buttercup. Heavenly Blue and Indian Corn Blue.



I'm really not complaining... We've had a very mild Winter. Less than average snow fall...Our snow pack is at just over 80% of normal, which is pretty rare this year considering everyone else in the US seems to be having record snow fall!
I just thought I would let you know that I want some warm sunshine to go out and bask in.... Before you know it... I'll be complaining of the heat! :)



Products use: CTMH - X7116B Sweet Home. Buttercup. Indian Corn blue. Verve- Accent notes. Buttons. Twine. Nestabilities. Twinkling H20.
