Sassy Cheryl

Well it's the wearing of the green here in New York today, and I sure in your neck of the woods as well. It's St. Patrick's Day and we are all Irish for the day. I am anxiously awaiting my Irish Soda Bread hot out of the oven. It should be down soon... I can't wait. Over at Sassy Cheryl, the theme this week is green and what better image than this adorable little girl playing the fife called Saint Patrick's Day Patty that you can find HERE. All the paper is from my stash, the flowers from Wild Orchid Craft and ribbon and twine from The Ribbon Girl.

so without further adieu, here is my version of the wearing of the green.


For the inside of the Card, I found this beautiful poem that was perfect,

Happy Birthday Stupid

Now for those of you who follow my blog, you know about my sister and her antics. Her bunny ears in pictures, and how when we were little she always got me in trouble. Hey isn't that what big sister's do. But no matter what I still love her. As soon as I saw this image at Sassy Cheryl called Very Sassy Opinion which you can find HERE, I knew it was perfect for her and this is why. When we were little, she told me that when she stuck out her tongue it meant she was calling me stupid. So there we were sitting at the table eating diner and it was nice and quite and what do you think my sister does.. You got it, she sticks out her tongue. So I say "Ma, Laura called me stupid" to which my Mom says, Laura didn't say anything stop trying to get your sister in trouble.. So she does it again, and I say "Laura called me stupid again" then you see that smirk...you know that smirk...Ha Ha I got you in trouble. This went on for a few days before my mother caught on.. then guess who got in trouble... So Laura my sweet and loving sister..Happy Birthday... I love you and this card is for you.. I went for the vintage look because I found these gorgeous digital collages at an Etsy shop called
Iralamija Shop. She has gorgeous collages to down load, I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them, and will probably add an element to all my cards whether it's a small ticket or one of her gorgeous postcards they really are a must have. You can find them HERE

Summer Vacation #92 - Road Trip

When I was a little girl we went on many road trips, and when my boys were little, they knew it was going to be special day when they heard the term "Road Trip". You see, I would never want to disappoint my kids since they always seemed to have a knack for getting sick right before an event. It also avoided their nagging waiting for the event to arrive. So my husband and I would just get them dressed and stick them in the car and say "Road Trip". We've gone to such places as Radio City Music Hall, The Renaisance Fair in upstate NY, Disney World (but that was a "Plane Trip") and to such normal things as going to The Zoo, The Aquarium or even the movies. I have told this story to some of the teachers at my school, and now they do the same with their kids. It becomes an adventure that way, and they know something special is in the works when they get in the car and we announce "Road Trip".



So for our theme this week which is Summer Vacation I decided to use this image from Mo's called Eli which you can find HERE
since many of us go on "Road Trips' for our summer vacation this was just perfect and brought back many memories. So thank's Elaine for another fantastic theme and for helping me remember the many trips and adventures we had when my kids were young.

Teacup Fairy for Babies 1st Valentine

My principal asked me to make a card for her grandsons first Valentine. As soon as I saw this adorable fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil I knew it was perfect for her. She collects tea pots and tea cups. Let me tell you I have always admired digi's but I never had the correct paper to print, the paper would always jam in the printer and what a pain that was... but now that I have the right stuff, watch out guys, cause the skies the limit...lol





This was my first Mo's Digital image but with so many adorable images, I know I'll be back for more.

This fits the following challenge:
