Hope your having a great day so far!!  I haven't put away my little cute hairy guy so I thought I would use him one more time. I used my scoring board and die cuts to create this simple card.

First I scored all the lines onto the blue CS going horizontally and vertical and using die
 cuts cut out the larger scallop. Next I cut out the smaller scallop onto the card
itself. I stamped and colored the cute little guy. Added the eyes. (not sure what to
call him..maybe "Hairy...lol)  I attached the blue CS to the card, added the ribbon
and glitter.

Close up of Hairy....



 Have a super great weekend!!!

At this time of the year all the school supplies are going on sale.  It's a great time to load up on the items you need for crafting.  Walmart had these great mini clip boards along with pencils, clips, paper etc all for 50 cents.  So I just couldn't pass up the great deal.  This is the clip board I made. 

The clip board came with the stripes.  I added the blue paper and stamped
"Live, Laugh, Love.  I sealed the paper and board with Mod Podge to give it
a glossy look.  Next I added the ribbon and cork board.   I attached the clip
 to hold the pencil and put 3 thumb tacks on the cork board.  I added the flower,
 butterfly and post-it-notes. 

I have bigger clip boards I need to decorate now.  Hope to show you them soon.  Thank you for spending a few minutes of your busy day with me!!!

Yesterday I attended a funeral for a very special lady from our Church.  Helen was a best friend to my Mother-in-law and she is going to be deeply missed.  Helen had many talents, she did needle point and crochet. One afternoon while I was visiting with her she told me to pick something from her home to remember her by.  For as long as I can remember, on her front door hung this beautiful hand stitched bow by her sister.  I always admired how beautiful it was.  I told Helen I would always have her in my heart and I wouldn't take it from her.  Her daughter remembered that day and after she passed away she gave it to me as a remembrance of her Mother.  I will cherish it forever.   


Helen's sister made each stitch just perfect. 




Its just beautiful don't you think?  For those of you who needle point and/or cross stitch I commend you!!!  I do not have the patience to work with those needles.  Remember to hug those you love and tell them how much you love them everyday!  Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.  Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it and wish you had painted something different.

Here are a couple more Wedding cards I made.  These were made using SU Love & Laughter set.  I stamped the dress with white ink and  used white embossing powder to emboss the dress. 


I added some lace and pearls to the bottom of the dress. 

On this card I added pearls and shimmer.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Sending you love and laughter today and all week.

Happy Labor Day to you!!  Here is a card I made for a Wedding we attending on Saturday.  

Using black and white paper I stacked five layers and added
the flowers and heart.  Then attached a bow.
