Yesterday was a full day! Our island does a Mullet Smoke Off each year and we had to go over and get some...I love smoked mullet! Then after that we went down to my sister's for my nephew's birthday, I can't believe how fast they grow up:) Chance is becoming such a nice young man, and so polite.
This is the card that I made for him, and I was going to bring Jim's hat down for him to wear, and I forgot both! Then we had bought a remote helicopter for him and his mom and dad had just bought him one! But we had a great time with family.
The image in the card is from Sparkle n Sprinkle and I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and gamsol. Then I used Dimensional glue and flocking for the mane. It dried puffed up and is soft like a real mane. I used the layout from Splitcoast this week.
This picture is one from a couple weeks back. After we left the Scrappin' Sistahs Retreat we stopped at my sisters for a bit to say hi, since she lives only a mile off the road. We got Austin to take our picture.
Everyone likes to make ornaments at Christmas time, and I always like making these glitter ornaments. I made a video on how to make them, so take a look at it.
For Halloween Lexy went Trick or Treating with her cousins, Lexy was a hippee which totally fits her:)
Last week on of the ladies at church, who was up in NC all summer came back, she said she had something for me. It was this cute flamingo. She said she was at a store shopping with a friend and saw this and thought of me. It made me feel so special that she thought of little ole' me when she had been gone all summer. It was funny because I had just told my sister I needed to find a little flamingo for my van. So this was perfect. It even comes with my own star I get to name!! I made the thank you card to match.
Jim and I were invited to a Halloween Party and these are are costumes. You can't see it but I have a cupcake apron on. I was a Cupcake Diva, and Jim started out to be the Cupcake Boy (the hat) because he is a halloween baby, but then it morphed to a Hippee Cupcake boy, then kinda like an Elton John with the glasses added!
This was the Technique last Monday over on Splitcoast. I love to display my cards and this is the perfect way.
I used Church People and embossed it with Antiquities, the sentiment is also embossed. The swirls are cut out with Spellbinders dies with gold cardstock. For the stop in the bottom center I glue 3 of the flowers together that I cut with a die. In the center of the flower is a gold brad.
Our island had a arts & craft fair today and Sherree & I had a table. It was alot of fun even though we didn't sell much (nobody did though). This economy is getting depressing:( Lexy got to play the tamborine with the band, and Jim & Lexy both tried their hand at the pottery wheel.
I love this flower medallion from Sparkle n Sprinkle, it has so many possibilities. Here is one that I stamped and embossed three different times and cut out different sections of it. It's a clean layout that I really like as well.
I love to watch the water birds as they feed. We have a pond just behind our house and right now at dawn the snowy egrets feed. They fly over the water dragging their feet and scooping up the fish. I've gone out the last couple of morning to photograph them. I haven't found the right setting for my camera though and they aren't clear pictures, but I still like them. I looked up some quotes to put on them.
