Happy Monday! And have a wonderful weekend!! Hugs, Char

Good Morning! I have a quick card to share today. I've been in deadline mode and haven't been able to play lately. It's raining today. I guess we had our week of nice weather :-). My son's birthday is April 1, but were celebrating this weekend as he has to go out of town to work again. I'm buying him a bbque....shhhhh don't tell! Luckly he dosent read or for that matter even know I have a blog lol!!!

Anyway, I used Jillibean Soup paper and my new Martha Stewart punch at the bottom.






Thanks for all your sweet comments! They mean the world to me :-) Hugs, Char

Moxie Fab Doilies and lace !

I got in my new Tim Holtz die cuts and played a little this weekend. I used my Big shots to cut the grunge paper. It cut perfectly. I then painted the cage with chocolate brown and then used "Old Lace" Tattered Angeles on top. For the bird sprayed it with "Bubble Gum" and stamped over the top with Papertrey Backround Basics (Text Style).






Awww spring! Such a wonderful time of the year! It's absolutely beautiful in my little part of the world. My daughter and I took Jasmine to Turtle Bay on Saturday and we had a blast ! Then we walked the the Sun Dial bridge...which is actually a Sun Dial! Below are some pictures!!





Have a wonderful week, and thanks for visiting me ! Hugs, Char

Spring has Sprung!

I made this LO for Magistical Memories DT. I used their Bloomin Star Flower and sprayed it with Tattered Angels (Turg). The paper is Little Yellow Bicycle, The Girls paperie and so is the stamp. :-)




Went to see the girls last night and had such a great time! They are so much fun and I was bummed because my batteries were dead so I couldn't take pics :-(. But here's a few of Jasmine from last weekend at Turtle Bay, her Aunt "Ne Ne" took her!










And this is my wonderful DIL and granddaughter, Liberty..she's getting so big!





Spring is definitely at my house! And if my eyes don't see it my nose is telling me :-)







Happy St. Patrick's Day to you ! Char

Kazan's Sketch #48

I made this LO with Studio Calico paper and Prima flowers and an adorable Magestical Memories chipboard bird covered in paper.




I got lots of goodies from Paradise and can't wait to make things! I just don't know where the weekends go?? I always have grand plans and they go out the window :-). I wanted to take pictures of my beautiful trees in front of the house. Everthing is in bloom and they are so thick with blosoms it looks like snow...but my camera died. So maybe tomorrow lol!

Thanks for stopping by to visit! Hugs, Char

Laura's Sketch # 47 :-)

How's everyone doing this week? I'm wonderful! The week's almost over and I'm going to visit my favorite scrapbook store! How can it get any better than that ?

Here's my take on this week's sketch by Laura! I used my cricut for the school bus and the stamp with the month's on it is from Unity. The paper is October Afternoon.






Thanks for stopping by ! Hugs, Char

Hi Friends :-)

Happy Tuesday! Life's been crazy but good. I took a friend to Lodi this weekend and of coarse I had to find their scrapbook store :-). I got some "My Little Shoebox" paper and I love the colors ! The fence is from Magistical Memories. I love that fence! I painted it and added some Prima vines to it. The flowers on the vine were to magenta....so I painted them a coral color to match the LO.




I hope your having a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by, Hugs, Char

Kazan's sketch #47 and Trigger Tuesday !

I decided to make a card with the new Egg Drop Soup Paper by Jillibean Soup and incorporate the two challenges! I want to do all the challenges but sometimes I am just pooped when I get home from work so I got smart this week and combined the Moxie's challenge and the sketch :-)This paper is so sweet and reminds me of spring! And the stamp is the new Calico Studio lace stamp . I love the stamp with its sweet ruffles and detail. I cut and made a little spring scene! Those little pieces were hard to cut :-) I don't feel old but everyone warned me that after 40, your eyes change and this year I've noticed that my close up vision is getting blurry...and I kept dropping those teny tiny pieces lol!! Anyway I'm going to have to invest in a BIG magnifying light :-) I can't wait to make more cards with this paper!













tahnks so much for vusiting me! Hugs, Char
