Bright Winter Wishes

I received my November kit from the Monthly Card Kit Club on Friday and love it! Fun papers, great images and embellies, it's a super fun kit. Here's my first card I made last night using supplies from the kit. Almost everything was included, just Copics that I colored with and the MS snowflake punch, leaf punch were and stickles were not.

The pretty blue glitter came with the kit and I covered the snowflake with that for some sparkle, added the star garland to the bottom and stickles to the wheels on the cart and the bow on the top present.  Even the CB piece came with the kit!

For my layout, I have used TESC # 89. Head on over to the MCKC blog and see how you can get this very kit!

Today is my sweet boy's 4th birthday!  It just amazes me how fast they grow, I wish you could just bottle them up and keep them little forever!  He is so excited it's his birthday and whenever anyone phones to wish him a Happy Birthday he says it right back, too cute!  Anyway here we are (yes I know I look fantastic;-) just minutes after he was born Nov 3, 2005!

And with his big sister...she looks so young, well I guess it was 4 years ago!!

Happy Birthday my little cowboy!!

Bridal Shower Wishes~Mojo84

Yikes, almost the end of another week! I did manage to get a card made that I need for this Sunday. It's my sister Kim's friend Stephanie's bridal shower so I made this card for her.

I used Mojo Monday's Sketch #84 for the layout and one of my neglected Chichiboulie Fairies-Felicity Whitelace from Stamping Bella. I also used some more of my April Taylored Expressions Kit, love it!! I didn't color her dress at all just outlined it with BG10 and then used the Colorless Blender to blend it a bit, added stickles to her wings and stardust glitter pen to the flowers and such on her dress. It sparkles so nicely IRL.

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday, so the kids and I will be headed over there for dinner. I am hoping Lance can make it, but we have a bunch of yearlings that need to be moved from the feedlot where they are right now to our pasture where they will be until August or so. He is down there today doing a bunch of chores with them (branding, ear tags, vaccines, etc) but then they need to be hauled to our pasture, so if he doesn't get everything done today then he will go back down there tomorrow. I hope he just hires a cattle liner to haul them in, but we'll see, it definitely costs less if you haul them yourself:-)

I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

Matilda Muffinbread Birthday wishes

How cute is she...I finally inked up one of my new stamps from Stamping Bella and this is the one I chose. I have a few birthdays coming up right away at the beginning of January, so I thought I better get going on cards to send off!!


I stamped Matilda (she is one of the chichiboulie fairies) on shimmery white cs from SU and colored her in with my Copics. I used my new Washington Apple DSP from SU as well...love that paper!! I used liquid applique on the muffin top (or cupcake top) and puffed it up, so it looks fun and fluffy IRL. I used a HB stamp from Aud Design for the sentiment and my Build-A-Brad set from SU for the brads int he center of the flowers. The flowers are Prima and Bazzil.



The layout is a sketch from Jen's SFYTT from last Saturday, but thought it worked great for this card!



We had a fabulous past couple of days with family for the holidays!! I think we all got spoiled rotten this year, lots of fabulous gifts all around!! Kirsten got a PINK DS from Lance and I and she is the happiest little girl in the world. It's crazy how she knows her way around it so well for being so young!! Not that the DS is Kirsten's favorite, but I really think she thought she would never get one so it was a great surprise. Her face just lit right up when she opened it! Not really sure what Landon's favorite item would be, he is pretty easy to please, he loves his new cowboy boots and spurs, his new truck (has to be Dodge!!) and horse trailer, all his new animals are awesome too, but he loves everything!!



Thank you for hanging in there with my while I was running around like a crazy lady trying to get healthy (finally I feel great, but Lance has what I had....), my shopping done, etc. It feels like I haven't posted in forever, but all is good now!!

Hugs,
Kelly
