Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers out there, especially my dad who is in heaven!

Wow, have I really let my blog go for this long? I have been trying to use the weather as I can. My yard is finally ready for SPRING......  And , I am putting in some hours trying to help my nephew open a bar.  This is his dream and I plan to help it come true. This should be my last week of busy, busy, busy. Soon I will be posting more pictures of the work I am getting back to.

Projects are coming soon.... Stay tuned....

Love!

How do you like my new collection? Getting ready to do a couple new pages with some Washi tape. There are some great ideas on Pinterest.

I'm back......

Sorry I haven't been able to post for a week or so. Worked hard on some baby shower gifts and then went out of town for the baby shower.  My brother and sister in law are having a baby girl. So, I want to make her a name plate for her room.

Hadley Grace!  Can't wait to meet her!  So, with this beautiful name plate, we need a matching card. 

Time to get back into the swing of things and get some more projects started.  After all, I did make a couple stops on the trip and picked up new supplies.

And, hint, hint, hint, this card is for one of our upcoming challenges at www.blacktiefriday.blogspot.com

New challenges.....

The challenges have been passed out for www.blacktiefriday.blogspot.com.  Can't wait for you to see everything coming up. You WON'T want to miss out. Of course, with new challenges means new things for my crafts.  Orders are arriving and I plan to check out some other stores during my travels this weekend. Not sure what I will buy or if I will be in the shopping mood, but a girl can dream.

Are you still trying to figure out the secret post? The gift is complete and the picture is ready to post, but I can't give it away until I give it at my nieces baby shower this weekend. Check back soon. And, as a hint, I am able to use the gift and card in a upcoming challenge. It worked perfect.  In matter of fact, it was kind of a test for me joining new challenges.

Are you doing any blog challenges? Comment below with the challenges you are joining and I just might join in with you. Happy creating!

It's a secret gift!

This weekend has been very busy and I haven't had much time to work in my craft room, but this is a project I have to get done for a baby showe this weekend. My brother and his wife are having a bay girl. Hadley Grace will be the first girl for my family. What is that, you think she will be spoiled, NO WAY!  Ok, so some of us are girl happy and can't stop shopping, me I keep buying pink scrapbook stuff because I will be able to add her to my scrapbooks very soon.  Here is a picture of the first of my surprises or gifts for her. Afte the shower I will post a completed picture. 

Hadley's nursery is gray and pink. The colors are really fun to work with and I may just incorporate them into my album for my son. Pink isn't always bad if you use it properly. 

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

So, the new challenge is up at www.blacktiefriday.blogspot.com.  This time the challenge was what I thought was going to be very simple.  HAHA, who was I fooling.  It was a CHALLENGE!!!  But, I think the challenge was because there is so much that you could do.  If you haven't checked it out, here is the card I made for the challenge April Showers bring May flowers. 

Notice that I didn't use basic flowers, I just kind of threw some circles together to represent roses.  Not exactly what I was hoping they would look like, but it is different and I love the colors.  NOW, if we could just get mother nature to help us with Spring.......
