Try Stampin on Tuesday #225

Good morning Try Stampin on Tuesday fans! Hope y'all are having a

great week so far! We are a bit short handed at work this week so today will

probably be as long as yesterday... lol it's all good though because

I have a four day weekend headed my way! Whoop! We have another great

sketch and twist challenge for y'all. You can enter anytime during

the next two weeks.

The twist is BABY. You can use the sketch, the twist, or both!

Here is my take using both:

Sketch N Scrap card #52

Good morning crafty friends and happy Monday! I don't know about y'all but

I might just have a very busy week! Through Thursday at least and

then I have a 4 day weekend! We have some surgeons out this week but we

also have a lot of other employees out so it makes it a little harder for

those of us still working. I'm hoping some doctors will decide that this is a 

good week so buy us lunch! lol! They do that sometimes. Well before I head out,

 I wanted to share I card I made following sketch #52 from Sketch N Scrap.

Viva la Verve June week 4

Good morning crafty friends! I sure hope y'all are having a great weekend!

Today is my daddy's birthday! I think we are doing birthday dinner instead of lunch

since he is going with my little sister to her golf tournament. Today is

also going to be the first day for me to sing in the choir at church! I had been

wanting to join choir for some time but wasn't always off work early

enough on Wednesdays to make it to practice, but now it looks like I will be

able to be off early enough from now on! Before I head out this morning

I wanted to share a card I made last night following the week 4 sketch from

Viva la Verve. I am also entering card in the current Word Art Wednesday challenge.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch #365

Good morning crafty friends and happy Friday! Hope all y'all had a great week

and have a fun weekend planned! We were going to visit family tomorrow,

but my aunt and cousin have taken my g-parents to visit family in Kentucky so

we will see them next week on there way back. Sunday after church

we are going to go to the zoo with the bro and sis in law and our little niece.

A new baby giraffe was born earlier this week and we can't wait to see him!

I wanted to share a card before I head off to work. I followed the current

sketch from Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge (Technostamper).

I am also entering this card into the current Word Art Wednesday challenge.

Mojo Monday #403

Good morning crafty friends and happy Thursday! I sure hope y'all are 

having a great week so far! We are halfway through to the weekend!

I think on Saturday we are going to go visit some family a few hours away.

We really need to anyways. My grandpa is doing chemo again for

Multiple Myeloma (plasma cell carcinoma) and has been up and down for

the last month or so. The doctor said that the chemo is working very

well but he is have having some trouble with anemia because of some of the

other medication the doctor has him on. The hardest part right now is

getting him to eat and drink on a regular basis. If he doesn't feel like doing

it, he won't. The not drinking much worries my mom because most

myeloma patients usually don't actually die from the cancer they die from kidney

 failure or really bad pneumonia. Obviously you want to drink plenty to help

your kidneys filter out the junk. The doctor did say he was going to lower the

dose on one of the meds that's causing the anemia so hopefully that

will perk him back up!

Before I head out to work this morning I wanted to share a quick card I

made the other day. I followed sketch #403 from Mojo Monday.

I also used one of my new paper packs I got during the Joann's 60% off

scrapbook paper sale last week. They came in the mail on Monday.

I got 18 6x6 pads and 5 packages of enamel dots from $65. Hubby says I

need to get to crafting if I am going to use all of this paper before I die. lol
