SpringTime Vintage in Blue!

G'Mornin' Bleeps!
I hope you had a Blessed Weekend! For today's card I used The new DSP from Stampin' Up! for the Design Team Challenge over at Late Night Stampers. We were asked to make a spring/Easer card....so I used the gorgeous SpringTime Vintage papers from the Occasions Mini catty!! I think the blue ones are my fave......so, I hated to cut it up!!! I used another one of my Grandma Tanner's buttons, which I think adds to the cards vintage look. It will take me awhile to get used to using these small little flowers from this new stamp set, also in the Occasions Mini ....they are two stamp stamps ,which I love....but are smaller stamps than I'm used to and took me a little bit to get it right....then, after trying so danged hard.....I decided to cut those little flowers out by hand.....which was a little time consuming, LOL!!! Then, DH said I needed another one on the bottom of the bow....so, then of course, I had to add it.....sometimes I wish  I had a craftin' friend at my beck and call.....just to ask those questions I run to him for....you know.....how does this look? does this need something? what's missing? LOL!!!! I think he personally likes to torture me and tell me stuff, just to mess with me (and get me outta his hair!!!), LOL!!!

But in the end, I liked it, or are the ribbon tails too much? I hope they don't look like octopus tentacles or something and what about the pearls and butterflies....too much too???? Hope it's not too busy for ya',  LOL.....I wonder what hubby would say......no, forget it.....I'm sooooo done!!!LOL!!!!

Have a fabby day and thanks so much for stoppin' by! ;)

Vintage Cupcakes!

Hey There Bleeps!
I hope your week is going good so far!! Last week my youngest son was sick and missed three days of school....today I had to take Hunter to the DR....ugh!! It's just a sinus infection ,so he should feel better soon!!!
 Anyhoo.....my card today is for Mary-Jo's sketch challenge. I wanted to use the new cupcake punch from Stampin' Up! a little differently than I've been seeing!! I love all the samples of it, but of course I'd thought I'd try it vintage style.....which is my fave ;)
I hope you like it.....thanks so much for popping in!!! Have a great day;)

Butterfly Sympathy Card

Hey there Bleeps!
 Today's card isn't one you like to make....but sometimes it has to be done. My husband's uncle isn't doing well.....they have called hospice in and pretty much said it could be anytime now. So, I thought I'd make a card, so that way when he does pass.....we can just mail it out....since they live out of state. I know it's part of life.....we are only here for a moment....but it never gets easy seeing someone you love and care about leave. Especially, when they linger on, so hard to watch our loved ones suffer. Please keep Todd's Aunt Billie and their family in your prayers ....no matter how old they are and even though they have lived a full life, it's still hurts!
 I kept the card pretty simple and started to add some ribbon.....but decided against it.....hope you like it.
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend ;)
