Sending smiles w/ Humpty Dumpty

 Good morning!!!

OMG...It feels like ages since I have done a Sentimental Sundays post on my blog. 

I have been on a bit of a roller coaster and I am trying so hard to stay on track. 

So this weeks challenge at Sentimental Sundays is: 

Cards for KIDS

and we are being sponsored by:

Digital Delight by Louby Lou 

who has given us two digis to play with it. 

I created my pop-up card using Humpty Dumpty.

Here is a two step picture of my card. 

Side detail shot of the flowers, the wall and sentiment.

I really like hoe this came out and it's so fun to play with!

My little 2 year old had a fit, when I had to peel it away from his little fingers to take a picture. 

Since he was that upset, I had to hide it from him while he slept last night!!  LOL

I know I will be making another just for him really soon!!! LOLOLOL

So there you have it friends. 

My card for kids.

I hope that you find some time to play along with us and visit the Sentimental Sundays blog to see the amazing kid creations created by the design team.

The art of LOVE

 Hello everyone-

I hope that you had a great weekend and are enjoying your Monday thus far. 

We are just planning on doing some light cleaning around here...Picking up leaves from the backyard and go grocery shopping!!  

Yesterday, I got some crafty time in.  It feels really good being in my craft room and siting at a desk!!

Ahhh....no more squatting!! LOL. 

So I worked on 4 cards yesterday.....2 are for DT assignments and the other two were just for fun!

Here is one of them:

I love how this all came together so beautifully. 

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the combo, but I LOVE it!!!

Christmas

Good morning-

I hope everyone is staying warm, where ever you are. 

I just wanted to to pop in and remind you that Sentimental Sundays is having a DT call, that will of course be closing next Sunday. You can get all the details HERE.

I created this card about 3 weeks ago and I figured I better show it, before I forget to share it.

And here is a side shot to show you the layers.
I printed it twice, cut the first one with my spellbinder and then cut the mantle/stocking from the other image and adhered it right on top.  I love the way it came out.

I used this amazing sentiment from Ann at Raindrop Echoes called Christmas Sentiments and it can be found HERE.  This image reminds me of waking up on Christmas morning and seeing the stocking filled with all sorts of cool stuff.  Patrick and I usually pack super cool stuff in our stockings...You know the things a girl really loves....for instance jewelry, gift cards, crispy hundred dollar bills!!!
So these Christmas Sentiments are beautiful and I believe that there are 6 of them, so you can’t go wrong.

BTW....we still go out and by a real Christmas tree, but after paying nearly $70 for a 5 foot tree, I maybe investing in a fake one!!! Is anyone else with me on this topic?

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!!!

I just want to log on really quick and give a quick shout out to all the amazing Fathers out there and I am including single moms who have to play both roles.

I grew up in a single family home, where I didn't even know my father and my mom worked very hard to keep things in a functioning manner.

Then....many years later she married a man....an angel.....the man that I consider to be my FATHER.....MY DAD!!!

He means the absolute world to me!!!!!  He is the reason, I am who I am today!!!!!

He was tuff growing up....he was really hard on me....and believe me, sometimes I hated him.

However, being a mother and having kids of my own I understand why he did what he did.....

and it was all because he loved me. 

So thank you Daddy for being everything that you are and loving me the way that you do.....
Cause in many ways....I'm just like you!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Here is the card that I made for him....
