Get Well Card

I finally had time this evening to make a couple of cards. I needed a get well card for our friend Chuck who had his appendix taken out Thursday. I realized I don't have many stamps when it comes to masculine get well cards, so this is what I came up with.

I finally had time to open my Stampin' Up box that came yesterday so I used my new spiral punch. I also used Nice & Easy Notes which was one of the first stamps set I purchased.

April Stamp Club Projects

I have 2 stamp clubs each month and we do 2-3 projects. Here are the cards we did this month. The first card uses the masking technique and my new stamp set Wild Rose that I earned during Sell-a-bration.

We also did this card using the small oval punch to make the flower and the stamp set Graceful Words to make the stem. My husband didn't like this card very well, it does kind of remind me of my Granny's aprons.

The last card is supposed to look like a present or gift box. The card opens from the top.

My Birthday Present

Welcome to my blog!

In this first post, I want to share with you the birthday present I got this year. It was a family picture. And the best part about it is that I'm not in it. I hate to have my picture taken.

While my friend Cheryl and I went to Indianapolis for a Scrapbook & Stamping Expo, my family got together and had family pictures taken.

Pictured left to right is my oldest daughter Brandy and her husband Doug, my youngest daughter Robbi, my husband Steve, my middle daughter Jessi and my grandson Ryan and her husband James. The girls get their good looks from me but you will just have to take my word for it. Not pictured is my favorite person - my dog Gracie. My husband forgot to take her with him, she was supposed to be in the picture also.
