Happy Anniversary (Sugar Bowl #9)
I wanted to do a card for the men's challenge #9 but I do not have any boy sugars
but then I thought "hey it is for a man, not of a man!"
so I decided that Sweet & Sassy looked most like me & kinda seems to have my attitude so she represents me
Our Wedding was black & white and I only wear black or some white & grey so this card had an easy color scheme :)
Our Annivery is not till November...I am very prepared :)
thanks for comin by
get over to the Sugar Bowl...enter your work...& good luck :)
somethin for me
yep you heard me...somethin that I made...for me...mine!
I have never actually made anything specifically for me
of course I have kept things in the house I have made
that an item is for me...I don't think I have EVER done that.
So this frame
bought in black for me
stamped with my most fav Sugar
yep it has me written all over it
thanks for comin by
see ya soon

distant friends
Scrappin & cardmaking sure is an awesome way to meet new people
it will go out to her this morning
although they may be far away in distance
I have found some of the nicest & most like me friends through this hobby
I wanted to send a little thank you out to a new friend of mine from the UK
(yes I mean England) and she requested something that touched my heart
she asked for nothing from me but a handmade card
my work, some of my art
now this lady is an awesome artist!
she makes the most beautiful of works
and she wanted something of mine
to me that is THE greatest compliment
please go & check out her site
& remember not only is her work beautiful
but her spirit is as well.
I worked on it late into the nite
and tried to make it as perfect as I could
it will go out to her this morning
I wonder how long it will take to travel the world :)
I can not wait for you to get it Kim!

envies :) {note moved rak back to 4/1}
Doug said the other day..."those cards are nice but how do you give them with no envelope?"
I thought about it in bed that nite & came up with these

at least now if I wanna give them away I can :)
or as Doug said " Now you can sell them Hon!"
(shakin head) yep that's my hubby...always has my back :)

wish big
I took the stamp set below
cut the tree & birdhouse away
I know she is whistling at the birdie
but to me she also looks like she is wishing...
on a star maybe :)
so I used glimmer mist on the black,
then stamped her again in black on white
colored her & popped her up on some silver
a little twist :)
hope you like it
it's kinda hard to see...but it really shimmers
see ya soon
take care you
