It was good to be back at card night again. We made some great cards and had lots of fun. Marti's birthday was Sunday so we had a birthday celebration for her before we started our cards. She turned 29 again....LOL 

Marti wearing the birthday crown.  I always bring this crown  for
Birthday Celebrations so the ladies can feel like a Princess.
Look how beautiful Marti looks!!  She looks like a Queen.

Opening up presents.
Since she is the Cricut Queen we bought her the
CTMH Cricut Art Phyilosophy Collection.

Singing Happy Birthday to her

How lucky am I to be surrounded by all these
 beautiful and talented women!! 

Heather's Card
The paper came with the clouds and the moon.
The house, witch, ghost etc are all punches.
Great Halloween card!

My Card
The flower was made using a stamp with the matching punch
from SU.  The embossing folder is also SU.

Debbie's Card
This was a great technique she showed us.
Using ink on an embossing folder and running it through
the embossing machine adds the color to the card while embossing
the image.  I will have to post instructions on my
blog for you.  It was a lot of fun!!

Inside Debbie's card
She always makes such elegant cards.

Debbie's second Card
She made a recipe card.
How darling is this card?

Look at the measuring cup.  She made it using her computer.
Wow!  Great job.

Renee's Card
The paper she used is just gorgeous.
 Cool Card.

Dee's Card
She used Comic Swirl template and sprayed Dylusion inks to make the paper.
How cool is that?  Just love it!


Hope you enjoyed all the wonderful cards the ladies made.  We hope it brought smiles to your faces and ideas for your next project.  Have a excellent day today!!

 So this was my home for12 days during the State Fair, the Daisy Mini-Donuts booth.  The State Fair came to an end on Sunday with a bang.  Lots of family and friends came out to enjoy the Mini -Donuts and all the attractions the State Fair had to offer. 

The Daisy Mini-Donuts Booth

Those Daisies are just adorable.  Can you see the bee on the pink daisy?  

The Mini-Donuts being cooked

Mmmmmmm don't you just want to reach in and eat one or two or three......
I only ate one mini-donut the whole fair.  Hard to believe huh!!!

This is Alaina. This was her first year working the Mini-Donuts.
She is a hard worker and so sweet.  

This is Amy the "Donut lady" as they call her at the fair.  LOL
 This is her booth and  everyone just loves her!!!
She has a big HEART and makes a friend in EVERYONE!!!!
I told her this year she needed to quit giving all her Donuts away
or she wasn't going to make any money!!!  She will do anything
for anyone.  She is a SUPER GREAT lady!!!!

Here I am with Amy.

This is the night crew Erica, Alfredo and Gloria.
They are so much fun to work with and bring such happiness
with them to work everyday.  They make working fun!!  I am blessed
to have them as friends and co-workers!!

This is John, Amy's husband.  He has just as big of a HEART as Amy does.
They are the true meaning of living as Jesus has taught us!!
They treat everyone with respect and love.  They give from the
heart and are always welling to lend helping hand!!!
Basket of Donuts with dipping sauces.  Amy donated  these to
  Security guard's meeting one morning. 
 Thank you for letting me share my State Fair Daisy Mini-Donuts pictures with you.  I am so excited because tonight I get to go to the Wednesday Ladies card night!!  Make sure you check back tomorrow to see what the ladies have created for us.  Have a Daisy of a day!!!!

Happy Tuesday to you!!!  Here is another Fall card.  My brother-in-law had a birthday on Saturday so I made him this card.  
The tree is from SU. I used Tim Hotlz watercolors to stamp the tree.
The ovals are cut using die cuts.


The Happy Birthday is a CTMH stamp.  I stamped it on Vellum paper, embossed it
and distressed it with brown ink.  I cut it out free hand and then added ribbon.  
Thank you for stopping by today!!  Tomorrow I will share some pictures from the State Fair  "Daisy Donuts" booth.  Have a great day! God Bless.

 It's the third day of Fall and we are having record breaking heat in Albuquerque. The mornings are cool and it's getting darker sooner so Fall and all its beautiful colors are just around the corner.  Here is a card for the fall season. 
The tree stamp is from SU.  
 I used Tim Holtz watercolor markers to stamp the tree image. 
Using die cuts I cut out the ovals and attached flowers, buttons and ribbon. 

Hope you have a nice Fall day filled with fresh cool air and beautiful fall colors....
