Bunny Card

Okay, I have a few friends that ALWAYS get onto me for not taking pictures of my cards and posting them.  I use Daughter #2 to do that for me, but sometimes I don't like to bother her, although for the record she is more than happy to do it for me.  But...she will be leaving for college in September, so I need to become a big girl and do it myself.  So I did! {with her camera}

These are the first two I made. 
They are for two of my grandsons, yes, I know...flowers on one of them? 
Hey, they're cute!


And, here are the next three I made for my other two grandsons and yes,
the one in the middle WITH flowers for my granddaughter!


I was searching splitcoaststampers.com, and came across this adorable bunny.
I used the tutorial http://randomonpurpose.typepad.com/r...y-bunnies.html.  As you can see
I changed it up to make it more "me".  I added the scalloped oval punch to the ears, giving the ears three layers.

I did not realize how "tall" the bunny ears were until I got them put together!  So, I had to come up with a new plan to get Bunny on the card and use the invitation size envelopes I have on hand.  In the end, it did not matter, because I sent each set in a bigger envelope so the cards all arrived on the same day!

I have made at least three more cards since, and I am sticking to the "portrait" card lay-out.   They are a bit time consuming, but so worth the effort!  {I did notice postage was a bit more than I expected.  The postal worker went to slip it through the "little" slot they use when measuring something bulky, and it did not go through...that might be because it has 3 or 4 pop-dots and the tied ribbon.}

[the cards were made using Stampin' Up! punches, cardstock, designer paper, brads {except the heart shaped one}, and inks]

My Mother's Gentle Love

My Mother's Gentle Love by Ron Hamilton Who puts a band-aid on my knee? Who holds me close so tenderly? Who always sees the best in me? There’s no one like mother. Who always wipes my tears away? Who tells me I’ll be great some day? Who cares in such a gentle way? There’s no one like mother. My mother’s gentle love, my mother’s gentle love Has taught me of God’s tender care, and turned my eyes above. I’ll bless her all my days for all her gentle ways. Oh, how I thank my Lord above for my mother’s gentle love. Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral.  The song above so much describes my mom.  She loved her four children so very much!  Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU.  Once she started having children she gave  up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children! My mother and her mo

Life....

Busy.  That seems to describe life in our home.  Just day to day busy.  Nothing really noteworthy.  Life moves on.   Let me think, since I last posted.... well, let me back up to about a month before my last post.  Daughter #6 got married in October of 2022...today Son #7 got married.  So, I have gained another son and another daughter! Our youngest graduated from high school in May and our oldest grandchild graduated the following day!  From our oldest child to our youngest, we have 33 years of education. (I'm tired just thinking about it!!) Still only 13 grandchildren.  Hubby is still in education.  I keep things going on the home front.  I help out the families where and when needed.  I still make cards for the card ministry that I have been doing for 19 years.  I still crochet.   That about sums up life at this point.  Have a wonderful day!

Remembering Mom

  Eleven years ago, today, my mom entered the gates of heaven.   My heart still breaks, hurts, and grieves.  But I know I will see her one day.  It seems like it has been a lifetime.  My youngest was only 6 1/2, now she is 17 1/2, a senior in high school and trying to choose between two colleges.  My oldest was 26 with young children and now is 37 and his crew is growing up too quickly!   My oldest grandchild was 6 and now is 17 and a senior in high school.  My youngest grandchild was only 6 weeks old and now is eleven.  Eight of my thirteen grandchildren have been born since that day.    Mom Mom's Viewing My children, taken about 6 weeks before  Mom died. I miss you, Mom!
