Posting two nights in a row!

I am here tonight to shout out about the April Issue of Sheetload.

It is an awesome one this month! My daughter Alicia is the creator of Sheetload and my daughter Lisa supplied the artist with SU materials to make the sample cards. Also a guest artist this month go here to see the preview of April Sheetload.

Good evening!

Wow! How could it be almost a month since I have posted. I will try to do better but no promises.

Just after my last post I had the influenza and am just now beginning to feel good and have some energy. I was supposed to go to my daughter's and had to postpone the trip for a week. I did get to spend two wonderful weeks with her and family. My granddaughter will be 2 this month and what a joy she is. So full of energy and wonderment. Oh, if we could all just keep the enthusiasm of a toddler.

I have made many cards and altered items but did not take pictures of any while at my daughter's. We did craft most evenings after granddaughter went to sleep. It was so much fun and I did purchase some items that I had to have for card making.

Here are some recent cards that I have made.

A friend gave me some old greeting cards to alter and these are what I made her to say "Thanks"

This card was for a March challenge on PCA board.

The above cards are a couple that I made using the April Sheetload. They did turn out as I had planned. :)

The following cards I have made for April challenges on PCA

And last for tonight.......A wallet card/photo holder that was the make-n-take on Scrap Shotz tonight presented by new design team member, Michy.

That is it for tonight. Aren't you glad? Happy Spring!

Good Morning!

I should be in Kansas now but due to influenza I had to cancel my trip. I have rescheduled it for tomorrow and I am feeling much better. Can't wait to get there to see my daughter and family.

I have made a few Easter cards I'd like to share with you.

Made this group of cards from Sheetload for this month.

Found this cute bunny and had to make this card.

Have a great week end!

It's Monday already?

The week end flies by when you are in an online crop! :)

Today I worked on one card. Lindsay had posted a "inspire me" picture and here is my take on it.

Iowa has had so much snow this winter! I am very tired of winter and excited to see the first flowers of Spring but not any in site and not much hope for anytime soon. More snow predicted for tonight and so if Spring is not coming I am trying to make a paper flower garden.

Have a great afternoon and evening and thanks for stopping by!

Sunday evening and the week end crop is over.

Saturday night challenges were great. Made a couple items that were lots of fun.

This one is a tri fold card for my granddaughter's second birthday.

It has the little band to keep it together.

This pattern can be a card or a photo display so I made one to match the card to display a couple birthday pictures!

I made a few St. Patrick's Day cards today.

Finally I made this card for a challenge on PCA but I am sick of snow. Can't wait for Spring to get here.

Thanks for looking.

Online crop week end

I love the online crop week ends. I never create anything very great but I have lots of fun and learn some new ideas.

This mini album is made with three envelopes. It was fun to make and maybe my second one will be better. Seems like the first one for me is always a learning experience.

I did this scrapbook page in steps. We were given one step at a time and had no idea what the page was going to look like. There were 5 steps and it was so much fun to just follow the directions and see what happened.

The last thing I made tonight was a Skinny card (2 1/2 x 5 1/2). It was fun and easy to make.

That is it for tonight. Hope to have more to share tomorrow.

Snowy Winter!

My daughter just left a comment that I should update so guess I will do that.
It has been a snowy winter in Iowa. I have shoveled so much snow this year that I haven't
had time to update. ;) Actually I have tried to update a couple times and the post did not work for some reason and I did not want to typed the same thing twice.
I have been trying lots of new ideas and making albums and cards but really so far behind on posting that I will try to do better.
There is an online crop tonight so maybe I will have something to post tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
