Elecricity is a good thing.....

Please, please pray for the people of ALABAMA! Half the town where my daughter is to go to college next year is GONE! And now I'm feeling guilty because my only cross to bare was not having electricity, so we went 100 miles away to Birmingham and stayed in a motel for 4 nights and when we got home, we had electricity. Thanks for those of you who are praying and if you can send financial help to these people that have lost EVERYTHING, they will appreciate it!

I made Mother's Day cards (and Grandma cards) with my new Chomas Creations mini gel pens.

The Pink card & the Blue card are for my mom (pink) & Terry's mom (blue--sorry for the blur in the pix) and are cut from the A Childs Year. The sentiment is from the Mother's day Cartridge 2010.










I made both Grandma cards alike. I used the Lacy Labels Lite Cartridge. I combined two to put the Love You in the center. And, the Grandma was drawn with the gel pens and using the Mother's day 2010 cartridge.








This was quick--but still haven't gotten back to normal!

{Hugs to all} Don't forget to tell all your loved ones that you know them--we never know when it's going to be the last time we see them.

Bless you all--Storylady--Linda

Again, my lighting is bad, but oh

this is I think my favorite....just because of the color and paper choices.

This was an idea from CardzTV by Mary. The doily and scallop where used from the Lacy Label Lite cartridge from Walmart and one of the 'holes' doesn't completely cut out (because it is partialy hidden when used with the set of cutouts) but you can use a hole punch to complete it. I used the outside part smaller for the mat of the pitcher and the inside at a larger size for the outside. Used a gel pen for dots.

Used my Irock to afix bling on the inside of the flowers and my EK 2 small flower set for the inside. Used tiny white dots on red paper for flowers.

Be blessed and stay blessed!

Two cards I made yesterday...

This one is for a very very dear niece, who was born one year and two days after my wedding, and is having a birthday this month. I live in Alabama and she lives in Va Beach.....so I haven't seen her or her twins in a very long time! I have a cupcake punch that makes a small--very small cupcake that I will probably add to the inside corner--0h yeah--and a gift card from Target--I love Taget!!! I used the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge--I just love that cartridge--and have a Happy Birthday stamp for the inside! I just love pink and brown together--going to have to go back to Hobby Lobby and get some more of that pokadot paper--I just love pokadots too!




This picture just doesn't do this card right! It is beautiful--even if I do say so myself!!

This one is for the best husband on this earth! And he's been my hubby for almost (4 Dec) 39 wonderful years. I used the Cindy Loo cartridge for the flower and the Lacy Labels Lite cartridge for the two scallops. The 'perals' are from my I-rock (love that tool!) I used red stickles on the flower part. I got this idea from a card that I saw on Tammy E.'s blog, Paper Pastimes of a Scrapbooking Mimi. If you've never gone to her site, you have a wonderful experience waiting for you! Thanks again Tammy, as I 'borrow' one of your ideas again. Just click on her website name to go to her blog--you won't be sorry. I hope Terry likes his card, and it is true, without him I would be very boring!!!!
