Saturday was my dad’s 89th birthday (see his special card here) and my husband’s brother’s 65th birthday. Glad it’s him and not me (ha-ha, but not far behind!). I made this card for one of last years SGGW weekend challenges and I’ve been saving it for a special birthday. I figured a 65th birthday was special enough […]
WOW – Yesterday was my dad’s 89th birthday!
My dad turned 89 yesterday and here’s the card I made for him. We celebrated last night at my dad’s favorite restaurant in Austin, The Driscoll Grill with my husband’s brother who also has a birthday today and his wife. Today we’ll have a family brunch. He’s always says he’s celebrating the (he inserts the appropriate #) […]
Can you ever have too many stars?
Once I finished yesterday’s card, I was so pleased with the general look and design, I decided to try another one with a slightly different layout. Again, a very simple card using this week’s Stars framelits that are one sale through Monday. I added a pop of color this time with a Hello Honey star and Crushed Curry candy […]
My take on FMS#224 sketch, a little late!
I get the weekly email from Freshly Made Sketches template challenges and use them quite frequently to design my cards. But I rarely get a card done in time to post to the challenge board. I actually finished this card in time to post for the FMS#224 challenge but ended up with a muscle inflammation flare-up that sidetracked me. […]
Back in the saddle again, as the saying goes!
It was so much fun to get a chance to finally spend 2 days crafting (in between dealing with weird computer issues again. At least I have internet!). I had been sketching and clipping tons of new card ideas over the last 3-4 weeks that I wanted to create. Decisions, decisions, where to start first? I decided […]

WHOA…did I drop off this earth?
Kind of felt like it, but no, I’m still here! Just had to finish getting all our tax files organized and into one place. And to do that I had to ban myself from all crafting and card making – boo-hoo! Call it my added incentive to get it all done quickly. So what always when […]
Do you ever have one of those days/nights…
… where you don’t want to do anything, or at least things you really should do? Last night was one of those for me. We had a delicious salmon dinner with a chardonnay (did I mention that my sweet hubby does all our cooking? I’m a dietitian, but he’s a much better chef/cook than me so we […]
