April 20 FWF

Got my April KOM in the mail last night, love these stamps and had to use them right away, so I made this card using the large bicycle background stamp and a sentiment from the "joy beyond measure" set that I got last summer at Archivers.

This week I have been working on a set of cards to give to a friends husband, so he will have cards to send to her while he is deployed for the next year, and this is one of the cards that I made for him, I am hoping to get a lot more made for him before he leaves next month.
Today I realized that there is only 96 days until Vaughn comes home, and i cannot wait until he is with us again, I have however enjoyed all the cards he has been sending me, he got lots of cards from "operation write home", and it is so much fun getting homemade cards from him.

Have a happy weekend!!! 

April 13 FWF

Made this quick card for FWF this week, I colored it with twinkling H2Os (first time I am using these), and added lots of tiny green gems.  The tree stamp is from the Mothers Day weekly stamp, I do not know the name of the set the sentiment is from.

It has been a rough week around here, a late night trip to the ER with a sick toddler, a kitchen fire (the 2 year old stuffed a toy and some paper in the toaster and turned it on...), and an overflowing toilet, I am REALLY ready for this deployment to be over and the end of July cannot come soon enough.  When I was sitting in the ER at 3AM a few nights ago, some lady actually said to me that she thought it must be a nice break to have your husband deployed for a year - a break is not exactly what I would call it, I miss him every day and so does the kids. At first I was kinda mad about her comment, and thought that she was insensitive and thoughtless, but after I thought about it, I started feeling sorry for her, since it must not be nice living in a house where you think it is a break if your spouse is gone for a year. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend, I am sure that ours will be good, we are going to a soccer game tomorrow, and it should be lots of fun.

TFL!!!

FWF March 30

Friday again already.... This week I have a set of three cards I made using the Bella Doilies stamp and the sentiments come from three different sets.

Happy Friday and TFL!

FWF Friday

Made a few cards for FWF this week.

For this one I used the butterfly from Heart and Soul, sentiment from Ippity The Simple Things, and the background is stamped with the butterflies from the Beautiful You weekly stamp.

This cute owl is from the A Little Tanis Hello weekly stamp, and the sentiment is from You and Me. The paper is from Authentique.

I made this in an attempt to use some of the papers in my ever growing scrap pile. The sentiment is from one of the awesome KOM kits from Unity.

TFL!

FWF - Valentine

Made this cute card for this weeks FWF. I love the ticket stamps from the January KOM and have been using them a bunch. Cut the heart with my Silhouette Cameo (it is the first thing I have cut on it), and I just love how the card turned out.

Wednesday Vaughn came home from Iraq (yes, we still have troops in Iraq), for his two weeks of R&R, and we are all so very happy to be a "normal" family again, even if it is only for two weeks. So while the kids and the dog are all competing for his time and attention, I am taking some time to craft, and I know that once he leaves, time will be scarce until he comes back at the end of July.

Hope everyone has a happy weekend, I know that we will :)
