Card Creations

...sigh...I have been busy making cards off and on.  I am getting better at taking pictures, just slow at blogging them.  I am suppose to be cleaning house...going to meet our daughter-in-love-to-be's mom this afternoon/evening.  Me...I addressed a few cards to college students...okay...12 of them.  Okay, I was writing a note to them!  Then I decided I wanted to learn how to knit...so I watched a video on YouTube and tried for about 20 minutes...got frustrated and gave up...only for the day!

Now, I decided that I may want to take a few minutes and post some cards.  So this will be quick...sort of...

I made this for one of our granddaughter's cousin.  I love
the chalk board look and shaker cards!

This was for my card ministry.

A sympathy card

Birthday card for Grandson E..he turned 5!

More sympathy cards...we have had 5 families in our church lose
a love one since January 1.

Part of a set for a friend...

...still part of a set...

...part of a set.

For a friend...

...another friend...

...and another...

...you guessed it...for a friend...


Daughter #7 catching up on homework after being
out of school sick for 4 days...

Teaching Granddaughter J how to stamp and create something
fun for her parents for Valentine's Day.

Here is what she did...making a tablet that each page was hand stamped
for her parents.  She did really well.

I taught her how to glue "padding" compound to the top
of the notebooks.

Just having fun with watercolor, new SU product and retired paper!

More fun creating.  I really like the chalk board look!!!
Must be the teacher in me!

Oldest Son and youngest Son born in the same month,
2 weeks shy of 18 years apart!


Okay...I am a little addicted to the balloon and chalk
board design....

A thank you for a friend...we made one like this in club,
but was challenged to use color as my main card piece.

A gate-fold card  is so easy to make and just makes the
card seem so extra special!

Simple...Watercolor pencils on watercolor paper,
and blend....die cut and Big Shot...

...through the Big Shot and ready to create!!!!
Simple!  Love it!

 All the cards were made using Stampin' Up product for the most part.  Some of the die cut words were from another company, MTF stamps.  Some of the ideas came from Pinterest, but tailored to my style

Okay...off to clean up the homestead...have an awesome day!

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!
