Happy WOMEN ROCK day to all my friends, whether you’re a mom or not. Happy WOMEN ROCK day to moms who’s hearts ache for lost and wayward little ones, to women who long to have children but that blessing is denied, to those missing their mothers or other influential women in their lives, to those who may not have had the best experience with their mothers and are sad today. And Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mother, Karen, my…
Hey Friends! It’s been a CrAzY week this week. I worked a couple of days extra and finally ALMOST got caught up at work. YAY! Did some spring cleaning @ the house and finally straightened up and cleaned up my pantry. Went to the cardiologist and had a good visit… I don’t have to go back unless I start having the same issues that I had going on last year again. Dr said that my heart sounded good and my…
I had so much fun making my last SSD card and figured I should share with you how I did my background for my “masculine” card. I think I will call this technique “Popped Metal” or “Metal Popping”. I was going to try to use a “Chalk Popping” technique on the card but realized I needed to think up something else when I peeked at my chalks and saw that I only had pastel colors… so I pulled open my…
Happy Tuesday Inky Friends! Sadly, today is our last sketch with the awesome Kimberly Crawford, but I really had fun with this one. It’s a simple, straightforward sketch, but I had an idea almost immediately and created my card last TUESDAY, which is NUTS for me. LOL! Usually it’s Saturday night and I’m stressing about it. hehe! Anyway.. moving on… Here’s today’s sketch: I played around with the Whispering Wings stamp set and decided to go with something a little…
Good morning crafty friends! It’s time for another Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday and today’s sketch is a really fun one! This week Kimberly Crawford is challenging us to: You may remember that I mentioned in a previous post that shaped cards are not something I am entirely comfortable with… YET… I decided to take the sketch literally this time and created a round card. and since it was dinner time when I was making it I was a little…
Hey friends! I am so sorry that I am so late posting this! I completely spaced it. Brent took half of Friday off to hang out with me and then his bro called and invited us to drive down to Bryce Canyon with him and his girlfriend on Saturday. (Which was oodles of fun, btw, but my knee learned new meanings of the word “pain”. LOL!) By Sunday I was totally not in the crafting zone and remembered this morning…
Happy Tuesday, blogging friends! Welcome to Skipping Stones Design’s Blog DT Blog Hop to celebrate the release of two new stamp sets, Birthday Donuts and Whispering Wings.

Happy Easter, Friends! I hope each of you had a pleasant and blessed Easter yesterday! Brent and I enjoyed a peaceful and quiet day together. We listened to LDS General Conference and visited with each other. It’s been a long week and so it was nice to just chit chat and hang out together. 🙂 Brent made the most DIVINE chicken for dinner… Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Sage Butter sauce and roasted rosemary garlic potatoes on the side.. nom…
Sorry for the delay in posting this third reveal. I’m back on track now and just waiting for one more set of treats to come in via email. One player is unable to play this time due to family things and another did not receive their package in the mail. It was returned to me because I had the wrong address. argh. Anyway… We will have one more reveal after this one. I also need to apologize because I failed…
It’s been a really wonky weekend. I attended the funeral of a friend on Saturday and my job at church ended (I was released as the 2nd counselor in our Relief Society – ladies group) after over 3.5 years working with the ladies. I was so sad to end my “calling”. I have just felt emotionally drained and my mojo has flown the coop. *poof* Anyway, enough whining already. Today’s sketch is our last one from Sgt Stamper. Thank you…
