Saturday

Another snowy Saturday in Wisconsin - but I have no where to go so it doesn't matter to me - makes the snow easier to handle. My snow blowing fairy came through once and hopefully he will do it again - after it quits snowing and blowing.

I have been playing with paper today - and been having some fun - and that is the important thing - is if you are playing - you need to be having fun. Creativity makes me happy. I bought some fabric yesterday for my Mom to work on - going to make a little quilt top that she can quilt - it keeps her busy and she loves to see her projects evolve. The fabric I found was a dinosaur panel which would be a wall panel but add some strips you could have a little quilt. I have a little great nephew that it would be great for. Avery always brings a smile to my face. He is such a sweetie.

My card today is very green but I like how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it also.

Whew - made a card

Made a quick card - my student needed a card for her Dad and I said I would make one for her - he loves trains - I guess this turned out pretty masculine.

Cuddlebug hearts

Black Dot - Bo Bunny

Green paper - Kaiser Scrapbooking

Trim - American Crafts (I think)

now I must go and finish the inside so that is off my plate.

See I can still create - kinda.

Bad Blogger

Barb has been a bad blogger - really have not done any creating - unless you call laundry, baking a couple batches of banana bread, a little shopping, creative - guess not - stay tuned - there will be more coming.

I do need to make some birthday cards and Easter is coming - I guess I should check - when is Easter this year.

Another week of work - and I must go make my bed since I did sheets today - get everything ready for work - so I can jump out of bed and get ready and be to work early tomorrow. Lots to do. Hopefully I will be back to share - if not - maybe I could find a good recipe to share.

It's Another Boy

I told you there was an influx of boy babies and this is another boy card. I have had this one made for awhile. It is very cold in Wisconsin again but it is suppose to be warm again this week end - I can make it - give me some 30 and 40 degree days and I can make it to spring.

This card is made with the same papers and rub ons as yesterday. I am already for these babies to be born - gifts are bought.

Everyone have a wonderful evening - I am going to go stare at some paper again and probably not make anything.

It's a Boy

It seems all the babies that are being born (in my little circle of the world) are baby boys s0 this is one card that I just got finished. The card originally started out as the sketch from CPS - last week - well it went totally off on it's own path - there is a small semblance to their original sketch.

Paper, stitch rub ons, stickers are from K&Co.; sentiment rub on - One Heart One Mind; used the Sizzix die cut for the large star and a small punch for the little star; Brad from Imaginisce and the Cuddlebug embossing argyle folder. The inside has a cute quote about boys and has the same colors and stars.

Everyone enjoy their evening.

Super Bowl Sunday

Super Bowl Sunday - a time to gather with friends and watch very expensive commercials - oh yes - there is also a football game. I am rooting for the Cardinals - the underdogs - always want the underdog to win. I am going to the neighbors to watch the game - I made some pulled pork for sandwiches and some of my "infamous" brownies. It will be fun to watch the game with everyone that is gathering there.

The card for today is another valentine card - using that little bee stamp - bees are very important in my family - we have four generations of women with Bea or Beatrice as their middle name - Molly Beatrice, Bonnie Bea, Carrie Bea and Elaina Bea.

This card is for the challenge at Our Creative Corner - to use at least two hearts on your card. The card is based on their challenge from the week before - a sketch. I never got to the sketch but was able to finish it this morning.

BoBunny paper, Stampabilities Stamp, colored with Copics, clear Stickles on top, Cuddlebug hearts, Nestabilities

Everyone have a wonderful Sunday.
