PPA 241: Kick Up Yer Heels!!!

Hi everyone!!!  It's time for another fabulous sketch challenge with DT 2!!  Today's card is in honor of our Texas rodeo taking place for the month of February.  It's amazing what this city will do to host this event.  They even kick our amazing SPURS team right out on the road until this extravaganza is over.  Yep...Our basketball team is even named the SPURS!!  LOL!!  

Here's my card below:

What do you think?  I even had to added a little bling in honor of fellow team member Ann Schach!!  Ok, she's a pearl kind of gal, but Rhinestones I imagine would work too!!  LOL!!

PPA 239: Be my Valentine!!!

Hi everyone!!  Valentines Day is just around the corner! This day is such a wonderful time to tell someone how absolutely special they are in your life.  I sent my daughter in Bellingham a care box filled with chocolate hearts and tokens of love while she's away at school.  Speaking of Chocolates and tokens of love; how perfect are these gifts to go with our palate of Crumb Cake, Real Red and Soft Suede!!   Aren't these colors just scrumptious?  

Here's my card below:

 

What do you think?  Of course, we had to have Chocolate hearts!!!  They're calorie free too!!  LOL!!  The flowers are from the Flower Patch Stamp set stamped twice in Real Red.  Once I ran them through the Big Shot with the Flower Fair Die; I snipped the top flower between each petal to show dimension.   I thought it changed the look of the flower completely.  

Such fun!!!

PPA: 237: Beep, Beep!!

I'm so excited to show off our new sketch designs by Nicole Watt and Kerry Willard Bray!  Aren't they fabulous?   This week we had some glorious weather here in South Texas.   Made me want to ho on a little scooter and go for a spin!!  BTW...My sister-in-law really does have a bubble gum pink Vespa.  Isn't this adorable or what?

As I was thinking of hopping on that adorable little Vespa; I thought immediately of the stamp set Today & Everyday.  Isn't that little scooter adorable?  I fussy cut the scooter so it would pop-up on the card.  This little scooter is definitely on my bucket list!!

PPA 235: Missing You Already!!

Happy New Year!!!

It's hard to believe another year has gone by...again!!!  Everyone always has said as you get older the years would go by faster.  Well....they're right.

However, I have to say 2014 ended well and it's been a great start to the new year.  

This weeks colors are perfect for the start of Winter.  I just love the cool tones!!  Today's card is for my daughter.  It was so hard putting her on a plane back to school.  I was missing her before she even left the car!!!  She loves college, so I can't help bet be so happy for her.  

Here's my card below I made for her.

 

Aren't those little snowmen adorable!!!   I thought this was so fitting to use the trees and snowmen from the stamp set White Christmas featured in the past Holiday catalog.  All the snow and bare trees I thought would be just perfect for these colors.

Before I go, I wanted to leave you with a picture of my girl.  My daughter Amanda was home for her winter break from Western Washington University.   We had such a wonderful time together.  She and I spent more time together this time than we had with so many other visits.  Amanda has grown up so much since she left in the Fall.   Here's a picture from school while she and her best friend were out on a walk.  Amanda found a leaf as big as a plate.  LOL!!

PPA 233: Oh Christmas Tree!!!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate this wonderful holiday!!! At my house we have the Christmas music turned up, the mimosa's poured, and a beautiful fire going. Christmas is one of my favorite holiday's!!   I'm so glad I get to share this little piece of it with you! :C)

This year I decided to go a more contemporary route with my card, even though I am more of a traditional person at heart. Isn't this sketch fun?  Though this is a new route for me to take, I'm pleased with the outcome! 

Here's my card below:

PPA 231: Visions of Santa!

Hi everyone!!!  Well the Holidays are here!!!  Are you ready?  Well...I'm getting there.  Speaking of the Holidays; how do you like my Santa below?  On guard!!!  I have seen this done all over Pinterest.  I'm not sure who the original creator was, but this was absolutely hilarious to me!!

The stamp set is called "Visions of Santa."  What fun!!  I'm planning to figure out all kinds of crazy funny cards with this set.  The embossing folder is the "Lucky Stars" textured embossing folder.   Both are from our Holiday Occasions catalog.  This card I'm sending to an old friend.  He was just diagnosed with cancer this past October.  He's only 52.  I pray he beats this and lives a healthy long life. The cure of laughter is what I say!!!

Before I go, I also wanted to leave you with a picture of my adorable, spoiled and ever so cute little Oliver.  I spent two days putting up lights on the house.  This little guy sat on the 2nd floor window sill the entire time.  Oliver would have it no other way!!
