My Friday Funny is of Rocks loving on a stuffed toy that Cordell gave me when we went to Dave & Buster's..and the second picture of him resting his head on Cordell's leg in the car..can you see how white his teeth are LOL!!!
P.S The card is not Cordell's birthday card LOL!!!
Hi Everyone!!!! We all made it! It's Friday! and yep Cordell loves all of his teachers, so it should be a great year....How about you? Did you guys have a good week? ...My poor Rocks had his teeth cleaned yesterday and 2! teeth extracted my poor LoveBuggy!! so the pictures are of him droopy eyed and on drugs :) ...he snored the whole night LOL!!! But he came out even more beautified :) :) ....yesterday I took my boys with me to Michael's (I had coupons) hehe so I bought 3 things...two of them were the new Wilton donut pans they have out, after Tim and I talked he and I thought it would be fun for me to wake up early and make fresh hot donuts..I DID!!! and they were yummy (not the best) LOL! because ya hello FRIED is Da Bomb!!! My third chin is all about fried foods I tell ya ....On to my card..yesterday's post was about the New Holiday Stocking Die, that I wanted to use not just for the Holidays..well I wanted to make it into a gift card holder plus card..I think I accomplished that :) ...everything is still the same DSP Nursery Nest # 122347..the buttons are all from SU...I did sew around the edges of the die and card but it's not my best job..I get distracted easily (Squirrel) ...and it was late :) ..So just ignore my not so straight lines :)...I hope you have a fabulous day!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!Sheesh yesterday was busy and I didn't know it was early day all this week.. So at 12:15 yesterday Cordell calls and says..Umm mom did you know it was early day all this week? I get out at 12:05... Me: umm Cordell if I knew it was early day all this week I would have already been there, so no I didn't!.. Cordell: OK! well mom we get out early all this week and I love all my classes!!!! So I'll wait out front for you..So all I heard throughout the whole night is, "mom forgot me on the first day of school"....O boy (the trauma!!!) He's going to tell his kids one day how Grandma forgot me and I had to wait a whole 15 minutes for her to get me... never mind his entire life I have been outside the school a whole half hour before school gets out :) :) dang kid.. :)
My new SU stuff came in and O boy! I new when I bought the Stocking Die that I would use it for Baby Booties and other fun stuff instead of just for Christmas..For this baby bootie I sealed it all the way around so that you can put a gift card in it :)..I will be doing more with this die..You can order it Sept 1st! ...All the DSP is from Nursery Nest #122347 ..The stamp is from set Easy Events #123225 ...The ribbon is beautiful and it's Marina Mist #120929.. I hope you have a great day! My poor Rocks is getting his tooth extracted and his teeth cleaned today..so please think of him and cross your fingers that he does good..I miss having him with me already.....
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!! As I sit here watching From Justin To Kelly (Love that movie)!!! I thought, O O I haven't posted in a few days..Sorry! I went apartment hunting in Monterey with Chiyanne..and since we are paying for it, we kinda get to decide where she will live and Cordell's birthday party with his friends is Sunday..Which takes time and planning and of course school starts Wednesday...Lots happening..so anyways I did a really simple card last night using a very simple sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches .. I think everything but the ribbon are retired from SU :) ... The image is a very old stamp set called (Wreath Of Roses) ...I will see ya all tomorrow with a card and a Friday Funny... Have a awesome day!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!! I'm back to playing again and it feels good :) ...I always seem to gravitate to The Greeting Farm stamps when I do a lot more techniques or just want that extra cuteness :) ..Gosh there my favorite stamps next to SU of course ;) ..did you all see the new one's? O I am so there...anyways this card was made using the sketch from a fellow DT at Sunday Sketch & Stamp ..I loved this sketch (you should try it too) ...All the DP is from Basic Grey (Sweet Threads) ...the ribbon, buttons, pink hemp, metal embellishment and metal dragonfly are all from my "stash" ..I did distress all the edges of the DP..I also paper pieced her outfit and pop dotted her...now I'm not sure if I'm keeping this card or selling it LOL! ..I hope you all have a fabulous day :)
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!

Hi Everyone!! This will be a quick and easy post since I have people coming over today and I have to make a few desserts :) ...I loved this image and once I saw the whirly paper I new that the two would be a perfect match..something that goes really fast and something that is really slow LOL! The image is still from the set that I adore Easy Events #123225 and the DSP is Big Top Birthday #122348..I did make my own twirly's and the brads are from my "stash"..I think this is a belated birthday card for a girl or boy, man or woman...I did use Stickles on the snail but maybe just a tad to much LOL! The sketch is from The Sweet Stop..I hope you have a awesome day... Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! It's been kinda busy around here again. I don't have a card today but I will for sure tomorrow :) ..I don't think I showed you this picture of Rocks that I took last year after he had his cancer surgery. He had to wear the cone of shame for 2 weeks..he looked so cute when he would stick his head out the window while driving down the street..I couldn't help but laugh a lot when he did this :) ..Luckily I was able to take a picture ..he's so darn cute :) ..I hope it brings a smile to your face like it always does for me...have an awesome Friday..See ya tomorrow Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! Sorry about yesterday..Tim and I went to Monterey and walked the beach, wharf and had lunch at Phil's Fish Market..Rocks loved all of it..He absolutely loves his stroller so he had a good day too :) ...As I was making this card I had big plans for it BUT the dang Nestie shifted on me and creased my image, so it became a really simple card :) ..I figured I would throw it away so didn't want to waste to many pretty embelly's ...So I used a Sarah Kay image and Basic Grey DP ( Bittersweet) ..The brads and ribbon are all from my "stash" ..So do me a favor and don't look to close LOL!!! ..Totally rookie move on my part hehe..O well! ..I'll show you a better one tomorrow Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy P.S I'm still a demo!! Whoo Hoo!!! and SU is having a special buy 3 designer paper packs get one free! I'm so putting a big order in on Friday, so if you need anything LMK..
