MojoMonday #85

Better never late-but this week I am late! Thank goodness it is my "Friday" as we have no school tomorrow. I have had a very busy week-again. The end of the school year always gets rather hectic and if I didn't know any better I would think we also had a full moon. Maybe someone who hasn't had the horrible cloud cover we have had all week can let me know if there was a full moon out there *wink*

OK-here is my card for the MojoMonday challenge #85. My picture isn't as good as I would ahve liked but the car went together well. I hope you enjoy it and I ask that you please share my blog with your friends.

Thanks.

Cards for 5-4-09 class

My good friend Jacque is a new Stampin Up demonstrator. I was honored when she asked if I wanted to scheme up two card ideas for her monthly class. Of course I want to. I can have fun designing some fun cards and have none of the stress of having the job-LOL I think maybe I hinted out loud and that is the reason she asked me-because I really really wanted to get my fingers in it.

Here are the cards that I designed for her class. Now remember-they are simple so that people who are learning can feel as if it is something they can handle. Newbies get to learn new ideas such as the emboss resist, layering and adding simple embellishments.

I sure hope my cards are a hit :-) You can let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

Thanks for stopping by-again.

Mondays are quickly becoming my favorite day of the week..........

I find myself looking forward to Mondays like never before. That is because I am always so excited to see the MojoMonday sketch. What great therapy card making can be for me-and for you! And after the day I had today this was just what I needed. My father in law had a heart attack, passed out while driving, and thankfully didn't hurt himself, my mother in law or anyone else in this latest health scare. A student at the school where I work got a nice gash on her head from a piece on a fence gate-that was a bloody mess. And, it is Monday-the beginning of another busy work week. So I was very excited when I saw this sketch and got to work on it. It fell together nicely although I feel like I am lacking something-I just don't know what. I am going to call it a day now. Thanks for dropping by.

MojoMonday #83

Here it is-finally. I have had a rough week, fighting some type of bug. It seems like I might be on the mend now and I sure hope so. I loved the sketch this week and wanted to participate but just didn't feel well enough until a few hours ago, so I quickly put my idea together. Enjoy it and if you get a chance I sure hope you will play along at mojomonday.blogspot.com.

Thanks for looking :-)

Mojo Monday #82

I like this one! It all fell together for me-easily. Woo hoo-after a busy day that was great therapy. I hope you enjoy the card.

I love my granddaughter

I have one grandchild and there was no way I could have prepared myself for the joy that I feel everytime I see or think of her. She is a very happy baby and has great parents-what more could a baby have?

I wanted to share one of my many passions

My husband and I love going out in the woods to look for wildlife-mainly elk and deer but I get a thrill out of seeing just a bird or a squirrel on a slow day in the woods. We are lucky to live in Washington State, close to Mt. St. Helen's. There are elk everywhere. Scott is an avid hunter and while I don't go for the kill I do go to shoot-pictures that is. Here are a couple pictures I took last weekend (April 4, 2009) when we took my parents up to feed the elk at EcoPark. I could do this every day!

I love the weekends!

I have vowed to stay home this weekend and just get things done and do what I feel like doing. So far, so good. I have been browsing the StampinUp catalog for inspiration and ideas as I now have another friend (besides Debbie) that is selling StampinUp. My friend, Jacque, just started. She plans to have a workshop each month to make cards or crafts at a reasonable cost. I am jealous! Well, not really jealous but I have got this incredible urge to help out. I do not want to ever commit to anything like that but I really want to be able to share some ideas with her. She she has actually told me I can do a couple cards if I want- DID SHE SAY IF I WANT? Of course I do. So, I put this together today. Very simple and I think I may tweek it just a bit but I was pleased. My only disappointment came when I looked for ribbon by StampinUp only to find they don't carry any ribbon in close to cocoa-the color I was wanting to use. So the ribbon is just Michaels stuff. But I did use the top note die, the stamp set is Thoughts & Prayers, paper is close to cocoa and pretty in pink. I think my ink pad is getting low on ink though-it didn't ink up as well as I had expected it to. It is getting old so I may have to replace it. Leave a comment if you like it please and thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday #81

I got to take part in the Mojo Monday again this week. Truthfully, this isn't my favorite card. I struggled getting it together-wasn't sure what I really wanted but I knew I really wanted to get it done!

The bug stamp is from Michaels dollar bin-can't go wrong with that can I? I added stickles to the center of all the flowers but I am not able to see them here :-(

If you get a chance give this challenge a try-it is always fun.

Have a great week!

Debbie
