Long Time No See! FMS79

The Spec-tacular set of spectacles and the new Designer Typeset alphabet are combined here to make a funky card for a long lost friend.  I admit I make some cards just because they make me smile - and yep this is one of them!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches this week and make a card that makes you smile!

     Rita's sketch this week is just a sight for sore eyes :)                                      

Enjoy the Ride! PPA155

I love this image but I never had a bike like this - nor can I ever imagine riding one!  When I was young the elderly lady next door had a bicycle built for two. It was a fabulous bicycle with big balloon tires and comfy seats.  Since my dad helped take care of her property he was "allowed" to take it for a spin any time he wanted to.  I loved riding on that bike - and I got very good at showing up in the garage with some iced tea just as he was putting away the lawnmower........which was parked right next to the bike......so as long as we are both here we might as well go for a ride - right Dad?


                              Hope you take the sketch at Pals Paper Arts for a spin this week!
                                                       

Welcome Sweet Baby! FMS78

My daughter works with some amazingly talented and creative ladies.  There are hand made quilts, sweaters, toys and dresses in Emma's room from some very crafty friends.  And who can forget the deviled eggs made into tiny baby carriages at Erin's baby shower? We are talking seriously talented people!

This card is headed to Erin's boss who just became the grandmother of a sweet baby boy this week.  She made Emma a dress out of material flown in from Switzerland - it is gorgeous!  Well a hand made card with material flown in from Salt Lake City is about as crafty as I can get......but it is heartfelt just the same!

The ladies at Freshly Made Sketches are amazingly talented and creative as well - including Jen Mitchell who designed our wonderful sketch this week!

More Bunnies and Blog Candy Winner!

The Pals Spring Hop was a great success this week - I loved seeing all of the spring creations myself!  Taking a cue from my own bunny card I made some small square cards to tuck into family Easter baskets.  You are never too old for a basket that contains chocolate!  

Thanks to everyone who hopped by and said hello.  A lot of the Pals use random.org to pick the number for their winner.  I confess - I don't.  I just yelled to my husband "Hey John - pick a number between 1 and 144!"  

So thanks to "random.John" Margaret Minnich is the winner!
