Just had to share these photos...

after the storms this evening...

backyard view

Birthday card

hubby's birthday card, used stickles!

friend's birthday card, used the cuttlebug to emboss the card
and silver embossing powder stamped image for sentiment

Father's Day card

you can't really tell it, but i used copper paint around the edge of the card
and then copper cardstock for the border around the Dad stamp,
the background paper is from the Rockstar Matstack

New Bday card

Worked with the Design Studio for this card, used Paper pups for all the cuts and
the flowers are popped out with glue dots...

My flower garden...

This is what I have been working on the last week...There are a couple of other beds but they still have the leftovers of the tulips and hyacinths that I am waiting to cut until they die off...

Here is a more "mature" pic a few weeks later...lots more blooms!

Latest cake...used Cricut!

did this one for a friend's mom turning 50... it was more purple on the trim in person...

I cut out the little tombstones on my Cricut using the PPDU cart... then i laminated them...

diversion...

Apparently my car (new 2008 Toyota Highlander) is appealing to small and furry animals- namely the chipmunk variety... I started having birdseed fall out from under my glove box... upon further investigating (including witnessing "Chippy" scamper up under the vehicle) we ripped out the glove box and found quite the stash of birdseed and leaves in above the air filter for the air conditioner...

we vacuumed most of this out and then pulled out the air filter itself...

this is only about half of it I think, the rest went into the vac...

New baby card

here is the front of the card... just used a stamp and
embossed it on distressed paper
for the butterfly...


and here's the inside with sentiment

this is for our new niece, born last week at 33 weeks...
Jule is 3 lb 11 oz and doing pretty well, breathing on her own!
She'll get to go home when she is 5 pounds...

Glittery birthday cards

used BB cart...
first time I have decorated the inside of the cards as well...

donation cards

lots of cards... very simple but quick and easy to put together...

i used my new cuttlebug to emboss the papers and i used BB and PP carts on the Cricut Exp.
this last one is for a friend who just had major surgery...
