GO Team USA! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

A little shout out to our local girl Megan Rapino and the U.S. soccer team! It's pretty cool living in the same town as Megan and having our son attend the same schools she did. It makes meeting her and having that autographed soccer ball even more special!  Good luck and Go for the GOLD!! We're cheering for you!

Well done team U S A!! You guys rock!!!

Midweek Throw Down

It's midweek throw down over at the Stars and Stamps blog for OWH. This weeks challenge is to make cards of encouragement. This is my little contribution and will be added to the pile of cards I have to send to them. I hope you all take a minute to hop on over and check out Operation Write Home. Thanks for looking and have an owl-tastic day!

Another Mojo

Seems as though I can't put a card together lately without a sketch. No matter! That's what Mojo Monday sketches are for. I love that they have all their sketches easily available from the last few years so, there's lots to chose from. Thanks for looking today and stay cool!

More Mojo

I liked this sketch so much I decided to make one more! Can't wait to see what Mojo Monday has in store for us next week. I hope wherever you are, you're having a wonderful day! Thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday 248 Contest

Mojo Monday on Tuesday! I kinda like this one. What do you think? Besides, it's contest week over there, so I thought, why not? Who couldn't use a new stamp set!

Mr. & Mrs

One of the girls at work is getting married in August and I decided to make her a little something special. I've made so many of these in the past but never one for a wedding. It's a Mag Time Frames kit and they're fun and easy peasy. They supply you with the "hardware" and easel and you do the rest. The white is glued to a sheet of metal and there are little magnets behind the flowers so you can put photos or whatever you like on it. I have one I made for my son's Christmas photo with Santa which changed every year. I added an element from her invitation on the front and glued the invitation on the back. Her shoes are a beautiful shade of blue so I went blue ribbon and flowers. I wish I could have used patterned cardstock on the background because it's a little sturdier but I couldn't find what I wanted, so I just went with it. Also, using cardstock on the magnetic sheet is probably not a good idea unless you get stronger magnets which I will have to do for this. And if I had been thinking I should have probably changed the orientation of the frame. Most wedding photos are not landscaped, but it's too late now. LOL! Thanks for looking today!

Boys vs Girls

 I set out to make some masculine Birthday cards today and finally ended up with some to post. The card at the bottom was the first one I did and when I finished I didn't think it was boyish at all! I don't know why I feel compelled to put flowers on just about everything I make, but I do. Must be the girl in me. ;-) Anyway, after I did that one I decided to masculine it up and the top card is what I ended up with. It worked out well since I have a niece who has a Birthday in September so I'll just tuck it away until then.

I hope you all are having a nice start to summer and thanks for looking!
