HMMMMMMMMM oh well I have another friend with a bday comin up so this will come in handy!! 




I cut out an aqua pp flower, then added my distressing around edges and curled the petals, a black middle and light light pink center with some pinkish colored glass glitter.   AGAIN i used some of my favo PRIMA pearl flourishes!! goodness I love these!! way to go Prima!! 

And the backround is aqua gingham along with a layer of MY MINDS EYE lost and found series word paper, with a bit of distressed edges.

Marvelous Monday CR84FN card

Actually any day I spend at home with my boys is MARVYY!!   I have to brag about our new little guy Bruno!! he just has been such a joy and little love bug and has fit in our family perfectly.   This is just what we needed to move on and heal our hearts and like I mentioned before we really believe our beloved Bubba had a "paw" in helping us and guiding us to Bruno.  
Ok so on to this weeks color challenge for cr84fn LOVE THESE together.  Plum, Lavender, and Green YUMMO! colors!! 
I ended up using some cream color paper and painted it light lavender and plum to mimic watercolors.    The flower is one of my altered chipboard flowers, painted, stamped then I added some purpley colored Tim Holtz glitter stickles and wiped it off a bit.     The happy hellos is stamped using one of my STAMPING UP greeting stamps. 


I used green paper and stamped and polka dotted it up then antiqued it a bit for the stem and leaves.   The sheet music on bottom has the words happy hellos stamped randomly on it. 
I doodled the flourishes and dots around the flower with a blk marker pen. 

This is Miss Olivia with her spring flower collar on, she is  our special visitor to market.  She is such a litle doll baby and what a personality!! 

My Buster chillin on his couch!! yes it is just his couch, hubby wont let me pitch it and really it is because Buster loves this couch and sprawls out on it everyday!!  We will keep it in the living room just for him. 

And my other boys chillin on our new couch.

And with yesterday being the first official day of spring we had to share pics of my friends baby goats.  These little does are only 2 days old. and just too adorable.  We started the spring day off with sleet, snow then rain then ended with lots of thunder and lightning.    Crazy michigan weather but we love this area!!

Elsie with her younuns. 

LOOK at that most precious face!! I want baby goats!!  lol one day we will add on the side of the barn a little birthing room!!  just for goats!! 

My nanny would make really cute babies but she doesnt like any other goats besides Beau her buddy but he is a weather  (fixed) so cannot make babies and I really dont think she would do well so will have to get another nanny.    I dont see a problem with that we love goats and 2 isnt enough! LOL 
Hope  yall have a wonderful springy day!!
Be back soon

CR84FN altered project for yall

So with all this s**** SNOW*** I decided to stay at home ALL DAY!!  well my mom had other plans, we went out to lunch nearby and had an awesome lunch with my brother!!   When I got home I decided to do an altered project for the color challenge over at CR84FN, the tourgoise, brown and red were just too fun to just make a card.    GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>it has been 25 minutes and only a couple of my pics are here!! the rest didnt even show up here!
Well I will explain and show ya what is here.   This is a wood sign I bought at a dollar store awhile ago, it was kind of cool but I wanted to alter it up!!  My chicken scratch way! LOL

Here are a few of the embellishments I cut out and distressed.

The big heart is old sheet music from an old hymnal, I gathered up some red crepe paper and glued that to the back side, then stamped a few flourishes on the heart and distressed the edges.  The little heart is  the same sheet music but I stamped grid lines on it first then added the black around the edges. 


OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSS we interupt this project for a Buster potty break!!  This is in the back yard I shoveled a path out for them but Bus takes his own route!! 

I love how the snow is around his neck and paws!! 
 
Anyway here are all the pieces and parts put together on this sign for Valentines day!! 
 And I did up some more alpha tiles for pendants.  And the completed sign!!  Also I added some great pink/silver german glass glitter flakes to the insides of the flowers for "bling". 
AND<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< < MY BUBBA dog seems to be doin better!! YEAH!! He hasnt gotten sick since early this am and also has been more alert and ate his "cookies" I even took out my stethascope from my ambulance days and made sure to listen to his little belly for movement!! I was a bit worried about maybe a blockage or something like that, hopefully he just had a case of gastritis and he is on the mend!!   Mommy loves these guys so much!! 
Have a happy wed I will talk again and share more soon!!!
