Stamp Club Cards

Here are the three cards that I made at stamp club yesterday. I absolutely love the techniques that I'm learning from my wonderful upline Julie! We had a great time. Afterwards Julie, Ruby & I enjoyed dinner and alot of chatting, laughing etc. It was a much needed outing. Hope you like the cards. The first one here is a masculine birthday card. I don't make many masculine cards and I really enjoyed making this one. The second card is a floating re-inker water color technique. I loved learning this technique...it was alot of fun. The 3rd card was an embossed card and cut in half and then a brayer was used to create the color on the card. The was so easy to make and I really like how the card turned out.

More pages done!!

I've been busy tonight trying to get some more pages done. I'm doing an online challenge. It's fun and it's keeping me really busy. I hope you enjoy the layouts!

Did a little scrappin last weekend

I wanted to use up some of my paper stash. If you didn't know already...i have TONS of paper. Enough paper for all scrappers in Merced County to do a 2 page layout at least! These are 2 of my favorite photo models....my adorable grandchildren Hunter & Katie. They are hams. They see the camera and love it. I will post some cards that i've made also.

Scrapbook Pages

Here are a couple of 12 X 12 scrapbook pages that I made Saturday morning. I haven't put any pictures on the layouts yet as I still have to get them developed.

Katie enjoying the Sunny Day

Here is my totally adorable granddaughter Katie. We celebrated Fathers Day on Friday because both of my brothers had to work. So the whole family headed over to my dad's house for an impromptu dinner & swimming get together. It was great getting everyone together. This is my sons first fathers day as a married man...lol. I couldn't resist this picture of my granddaughter. It's taken from my phone because i.....GASP!!!....left my camera at home (hangs head in shame!).

I've Been Bad

I know i've been really bad about updating my blog. I'm going to try really really hard to post more often. I've been busy. I had a huge yard sale yesterday because i'm getting rid of the old and hopefully i'll be able to have enough money to redecorate. I started painting my living room a couple weeks ago and i'm not finished because I ran out of paint!! lol. So today, i'm off to Lowe's to buy 3 more gallons of paint to finish up my hallway, living room & kitchen.

I went out last night with my daughter in law, her mom & her sisters for her sister Misty's birthday. They bowled (i can't because it hurts my wrist) and then we went to the Elephant Bar to eat. Oh my gosh, i really love their food there. I've eaten there before and it is sooooo good. I couldn't eat everything. I even had a drink. I'm not a big drinker (although i do like tequila!) and it was kind of sweet for me.

Tomorrow is back to work (yuck! but thankfully i have a good job). Evening i have a class at curves again. I've lost 13 pounds and my goal is to lose 7 more pounds in 3 weeks. We'll see as i'm going to take it as it comes.

Haven't done much scrappin lately. I did sell a bunch of handmades and various things that i've had for years that i've never used and it made one lady really happy as she walked away with a whole bunch of nice items!

Will blog again soon!!
