I didn't get a card made yesterday. I tried & just didn't like what I came up with. Ebay has been keeping me extremely busy & I just didn't have enough mojo left to re-work it.

When I saw today's sketch challenge on SCS, I knew I would be making a card! I love it when that happens!! :D I haven't made a daisy card in awhile... at least it seems like it's been awhile! LOL!

Balmy Breezes


If you know me even a little bit, you probably know that I prefer warm weather. I love sunshine AND warm weather... those 2 go hand in hand in my opinion! LOL!! I haven't used this set in awhile, but it just seemed perfect to use tonight. We have been enjoying warm weather for awhile & it seems so weird to me that there are still parts of the US that are getting snow. CRAZY!!!

Although, with that warm weather also comes the bugs & other creepy things that I won't mention right now. I do have some pictures of something that I ran over on the road in front of our house. But, I won't share them tonight. I'm just going to say that we will be looking up some info about a certain creepy crawly tomorrow for Science. Yes, I'll take the creepy crawlies & the bugs to get my nice warm weather!!! *wink*

Stamps: Balmy Breezes
C/S: Mellow Moss, Chocolate Kiss

Inspire22 Flowers

This week's Inspire challenge on stamptv was an orange & yellow marigold picture. My card ended up being more fallish... that wasn't the look I was going for.... When my youngest saw this card he said, "Why do you always use the Cuttlebug!" hee hee!!!

We are under a tornado watch again tonight. It's spring time in Oklahoma!!!

Excitement!!!

Whew! What a day!! We had tornadoes in the state. Just about the time we thought we were passed the danger, another storm popped up. The 2nd storm brought some little hail. My boys thought it was so fun to go collect the hail. It was so strange that it ended up being just a few pieces of hail.

The boys were praying for Dad's new car to be protected. I had to chuckle because they didn't say anything about us or the house or even my van, just Dad's car!!! LOL!!!

We've also been studying about tornadoes. The boys have learned a lot about the different kinds of twisters & the precautions to take. We will be studying about them more over the next few days.

We did get quite a bit of rain water collected for us to use for our flowers & veggies. We had just been reading about collecting rain water in science & had planned on collecting water the next time it rained. The boys were having fun playing in the rain!

I do have a card in the works... I hope to finish it up tonight. Just didn't get it finished since our eyes were on the TV for news of the tornadoes. Prayers for the families that were affected by these storms. There are still more storms in the state & are heading into Arkansas.

CASE Mel & ssnotime138

The tulips are long gone here in Oklahoma. They only last a few short weeks & then it gets too hot for them. Yesterday we reached 93!!!!

Melanie has asked people to CASE one of the cards that she has made. I chose to CASE the first card found HERE. I changed the colors, the sentiment, I added bling in the corners, left off a butterfly & added some piercing for the butterfly trail.

This week Sharon has challenged us to make a Mother's Day card or a feminine card. My hubby's step-mom's birthday is next week, so I will be sending her this card.

CAS Anniversary Card

I had an image almost completely colored & my copic dripped an extra drop onto it. I'm too tired to re-color it tonight. I decided to make a CAS Anniversary card. It's for the Featured Stamper challenge 169 on SCS. I really liked the green she used, but I didn't have any ribbon close to that color, so I changed it to Aqua Mist.

I'm headed to bed. Hubby is still going in to work at 3:30. That alarm clock goes off waaaay too early for me!!
