I'm BACK......

Graduation is over....now we are dealing with a sleep disorder! When I was young, mom solve that problem by saying,..."close your eyes and go to sleep!" now they have DR's for it!

Here is the card I finished for Laura--hope you can see her nails have polish! Here school are the Patriots with colors of Red, White and Blue--that is what the front is (notice the pearls she wore!) She attended the larges high school in Alabama.




Now off to college--University of Alabama--Crimson and White-and black and white hounds-tooth.




And then a heartfelt verse:




My dearest Laura Lynn,

How do I say what I want to say in a small place like this. I guess if I haven’t said it to you by now, I should be ashamed.

Here is what I want you to know…

I pray I have given you knowledge that…..

Love needs to be given…
Life is to be lived…
Friends are gifts from God…
Family is precious…
And
God is to always be worshipped.

I have not been a perfect mother, but always know, you can’t do anything to make me love you any less (or any more). You have made me so proud to be your mother. I don’t know what good I ever did to be blessed with a daughter like you! I have prayed for you since the moment I knew you existed and will continue to pray for you until I have no more breath.

I love you Laura Lynn!

Mommy

I used a scrap of cardstock with the stars and 'punched' some stars and used 'accent glaze' on the punched stars.

I downloaded the 'houndstooth' on the intenet to use for the next 4 years of Laura's college.

The cartridge is Everyday Paperdolls page 46, but I used the a different hair to match hers. I don't remember where I got the diploma, letters or 'fly'.

Hope you like it--H {HUGS}--Storylady--Linda

Guess what I got yesterday.........

Yep--my new Crickie---as I call it or Cricut Expression 2 as it is actually called--it is so cool!




This is the graduate I'm going to use for my daughters graduation next Tuesday--I can't believe it--where did the time go? It is a sparklie blue gown.




This is for Laura's boyfriends sister, Emily. She just graduated from University of Alabama-Birmingham! She was offered a job of the hospital there in Birmingham, and decided to stay there--she must be really good, because they can offer any of the nurses a job and they picked her! Don't you love the brads I found for the nurse! Can't even remember where I got them. If I see them again---I'll let you know. The package says, Brads Eyelet Outlet--12 nurse brads--and I think it cost about $3.00. I'm thinking about just giving her the rest--since I don't know anyone else going into nursing--maybe I'll pull our a couple........

Haven't got the cards done yet, but boy, got lots of them to do, since dau has lots of friends!

Back to Crickie--Got lots to do!!!

2 more cards...

had seen this on someones page...and they used the peachy keen face stamps--so I got mine out. This was an easy card, but I got my Action Wobbles after it was done. I might take the middle one off (I popped it up with a demintional) and put it on any action wobble.
I think I got the flower from George Basic. Used the I-rock to and a little bling.

I'm really enjoying putting a 'surprise' on the inside! On the inside I used a set of flower punches I got from Taget--I think they are EK. And used a Martha Stewart 'branch' punch for a little leafy green.




I got the water from Everyday Paper Doll on page 41--I've used this before. The 'sand' is just torn brown paper. The crab, sandcastle and shells came from Create A Critter page 40.




The hearts are a Martha Stewart punch--which I love! The flower and layers are from the new Mother's Day Bouquet--which I love--it also has about 9 leaves--which I used under the flower. I used the new ACTION WOBBLES

which are way cool--I didn't get in on the freebies--but was in the first shipment of wobbles sold! I'm soooo happy!

The flower on the inside is a Nellie Snellen punch and embosser--cool! I did the inside with the I-Rock.

Hope you enjoy!

Remember--I love comments!!
