Team Water Bottle

My director needed a water bottle designed for her granddaughter to have for softball. I used my Pooh font and Create A Critter's bumble bee....

Poodles of Well Wishes....


I've been working hard on an order of Get Well cards and just had to share one of my favorites!

I used my Create A Critter cartridge for the poodle and then my George cartridge for the rectangles. I embossed it with Divine Swirl cuttlebug embossing folder.

In Memory of Precious Caylee Marie.....

I haven't done tear bears in quite a few years, but had the urge to make one today in honor of sweet little Caylee. Her favorite color was purple and she loved bears....especially Pooh.

Here's A Little Pick Up.....


I have been consumed with the Casey Anthony murder trial the past few weeks and it has interfered with my desire to scrapbook! LOL I did, however, force myself to work on some get well cards this morning as I await the verdict. Here is a card that I thought would be cute for a male. Enjoy!

A New Sympathy Card....


Here is a picture of the latest sympathy card that I made for my mom. You can't really tell, but I used my YourStory wavy cutter on the pink paper and then I embellished it with Pink Pearl Stickles. I think this is one of my favorites thus far. It's much harder for me to do formal cards than it is for me to do the fun one's. Maybe that's because I'm so use to my fun preschool creations. I also drew the flower on the cross by hand with Stickles. The cross is from the Car Decals cartridge. Have a great day!

Cowboy Up!


I have quite a few preschool items finished and strung about, but still uncertain as to what I may use certain cuts for. These will be my kiddo's name tags for their backpack hooks. I am loving the Western theme, but there is so much I want to do!!!

Sympathy Cards

I have been busy working on upcoming preschool decor and a little bit of this and that. Here is a sympathy card that I made yesterday for my mom. I have seen this specific design on many sites I've visited. I love the dynamic that it's all shadowed out. Thanks for your feedback!

Upcoming Preschool Year Designs


Last year, my theme for our preschool class was dogs. This year I am doing a Rodeo/Old West theme. I began making my name tags for their seats and their check-in tags yesterday. Here are just a few examples. Hope you are having a great week!

A few of the cowboy boots that will be used as the child's check-in tag....

The saddles will be laminated and used on the back of each child's chair with their name on it...

For the saddles overlay, I used my Paisley cuttlebug embossing folder. I did the same for the cowboy boots.

Father's Day Police Officer Card


Here is a little something that I whipped up this afternoon for my dad. I put his unit number on his hat and tried to coordinate the colors according to his old uniform. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for all the cuts except the greeting. I used Nifty Fifties for the letters. I used Stickles for the star on the car, the light and to fill in the tires. I wish I would have used silver for the tires though.

Father's Day


Here is my first Father's Day card for this year. My dad is a veteran and he is still very much involved with military organizations, not to mention he was a police officer and former sheriff. So, in numerous ways, he is very much "my hero."

First Designer Cup For A Co-worker

Okay, here is my first attempt at a designer cup (Other than our FUMP cups). One of my co-workers is moving on to bigger and better things next year by getting her CNA license. I am so proud of her!!! So, I designed this cup for her good-bye gift. I've learned that it's hard to take pictures of tumblers! LOL

A Few Creations To Begin With.....

Here are a few note cards that I made for a silent auction event a few weeks ago.

I love this card. It's my Ultimate Daisy card...

For this card, I used a Lace Corner Paper Punch and chalked the edges. This is also one of my favorites.


You can't really see in this photo, but the background is embossed to make it pop with the sunflower effect. I also chalked the edges on this one as well with Chestnut Roan.....one of my favorite shades!
