Card for my hubby's big 40TH

I made these for my husband's 40th birthday that will be on superbowl sunday. We are having a cookout on Saturday baring I am not in labor at that point!!

These were made for the people in hs office and the flight that he wanted to invite.

Cards for a friend

So friends of ours are moving here in a fe weeks. I thought it would be great to suprise them with these cards so that they can let friends and family know their new address with style. They were going to do cards, but decided that with time and all to just let everyone know by word of mouth. I felt that this was way more cool and the friends and family had a hard copy of the new address to put on the fridge or something. The husband loves old trucks and in fact bought one my husband had. He is going to paint it a pale yellow, so I made this truck about as close to that color as I could. I made about 20 hoping that it would be enough, I know that they have a large family and a lot of friends, so I hope it will cover everyone!!

My First Name Frames

Ok so I made 2 name frames after FINALLY unpacking the box that had the frames in them. We have some friends that are moving soon to Corpus Chrisite in a bout 3 weeks, so I made them a name frame to put in their new home when they move.

This one below I made for my daughter that is due in a bout 4 weeks. her room will be pink and chocolate, so I used pink and chocolate colors and pattern paper from the new line called Berry Bliss. I did add one extra color besides the pretty in pink and close to cocoa and that was a little purely pomegranate

Valentine's Day Cards

I LOVE this stamp set. I can use it for so much more than Valentines Day, but here are my cards just using it for that purpose. I have several that may look the same but there are some differences.

The card above is for my husband. I used the love you butterfly, created a cute handmade border around the card on the Pixie Pink card stock. I also used a Real Red brad instead of ribbon on the tag.

sorry I haven't posted in a while

I had to take my husband in for surgery on Friday at San Antonio after spending the whole day at WHMC on Thrusday doing paper work for the surgery. I have been taking care of him and the girls since then and trying to make it through so rough labor pains that I am sure were brought on by all the extra work I have been doing.

I did make a few things several days ago and got pictures, just have not had the chance to post them. I will be posting them today if I get some down time to do that.

I have been tagged

Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog, we all want to know them.

1. I crack my nuckles on my hand all the time, I do not notice how much I really do it, but hubby says its at least every 15 minutes or so

2. I am always doing something with my hands even if its just biting the skin near the nail. i guess its the ADHD in me

3. I fidget all the time when in the car or sitting watching TV or palying on the computer, guess its another ADHD thing

4. I eat the side dishes almost all gone before eating the main meal

5. I refuse to fold laundry after I take it out of the dryer

6. I find myself all day walking into the kitchen and walking right back out even if I am not hungry and just ate

7. I tend to call my husband on the cell all the time even if I know its turned off or he can't talk, another ADHD thing

more stuff

The 2 scrapbook LO's on the black background are for our family scrapbook.

The one above I stamped the background instead of using card stock to creat a cool looking background.
The one above I also did not use much cardstock ecept to add just a little color to go along with the Queen and Co. flowers and brads.
The card above is from a new set in the Spring / Summer Catalog .
The box above is something I am thinking about doing for the workshop coming up that I will be having at my house. I am not sure yet if I will do his project or not. I am still looking around at cool projects.

Never knew how old someof them were until I got the pictures back. THeoldest was from Arwen's 2nd birthday. Well here they are!!
