Hi Everyone!!!! I made this quilt for a friend, her daughter turned 5 last week and I thought she would like an I Spy blanket to use when watching TV. As I was making it I kept thinking it's so ugly I hope she doesn't think I'm purposefully giving her a ugly blanket, every I Spy quilt I looked at were very pretty and so I'm thinking O boy this is my interpretation ..hmmm :) ..The blocks don't match up on purpose so please know that teeheeand I seriously suck at binding! I really need to learn how to do this the right way. Sheila I will be calling you soon :)...I did fall in love with the Lamb Chop fabric (Is that the right name?) I never did like the show but thought it was a cute print....Have a great day everyone! Who's going to see Magic Mike tomorrow!? Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!!! Chiyanne (my daughter) has a good friend who is openly gay and proud of it :) it's his birthday today and she asked for a Rainbow card for him. I searched everywhere in my craft room for rainbow paper and after an hour couldn't find any. I found some scrapbooking canvas in my "stash" so I used my ink pads and created a rainbow :) ..I also used cloud paper for the background..I'm sure TGF never thought there Peter Pan would be used for this card LOL! but she thought it was fitting. OK she was actually asking if I had a stripper image HMMM sorry darlin I don't think I would have many followers if I did LOL! I loved using the rainbow theme for everything..I even had ribbon in my "stash"..I hope you like it but I hope she really likes it, she hasn't seen it yet since I just finished it :)...Luanne my hubby drew your name so you are the winner of the DP blog candy so just email me and I will get the package out to you painkillerinc@yahoo.com..have a great day!!!

AND! this is my first time doing the Color Resist Technique (I could have done a better job) :) my son has 3,000 color crayons but he couldn't find white..It's because when my kids were younger we used to love to color but they would always use the white and say it's "broken" and throw them away LOL!!! ;) so now I might need to go buy crayons for class O the hard ship teehee I still love to color!..anyways the DSP is Floral District #126919 and the stamp set is Blooming With Kindness #126422..Two different butterflies were used Beautiful Wings Embosslits #118138 and Elegant Butterfly #127526..I hope you have an awesome day!!! ..

Hi Everyone!!! I needed a guy card for my class on Friday and this is what I came up with. Let's start with what I'm going to tell my class 1st the silver cord should be wrapped all the way around the DSP before stapling it down :) and I forgot to distress around the image..So yep I was a little distracted last night..I of course did all this after I adhered everything down which is a total rookie move..sheesh! O well..but I do like the way it turned out it's a total dude card :) the DSP is the new Natural Composition Specialty #126917 and the sentiment is from a retired set but the image is The Open Sea #123032..inside the card I added a slot for a gift card :) I hope you have a fantastic day!!! Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy P.S my son just brought we the mail and the new Holiday Catalog was in it! and holy cow! Very Pretty products!!!! O yay!!!
Hi Everyone!! Well we had an exciting morning to say the least. Our foster dog bit Rocks and as Tim and I were trying to break them apart we got bit..lovely! Of course it's my right index finger and I can't bend it because it is swollen but I wanted to make something to show you all. Since I just got in my new Simply Scored Scoring Tool #122334 I thought I would make a box..let me tell ya it wasn't that easy but because the lines are so smooth I was able to do it and not make any mistakes (I own the score-pal and MS) so I know what I'm talking about teehee. I can't wait to make more stuff using the Score Tool. The stamp set is Summer Afternoon #126427.. and O my new LOVE! Elegant Butterfly punch!!!! #127526..we will for sure be using it in class next week.. I hope to do more crafting but since my hand hurts I shall see..bummer! Have an awesome weekend! and P.S Rocks will be OK thank goodness!!! I don't want anything happening to my precious baby.. Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy

Hi Everyone!!! remember how I said it was going to be a little busy for me because my son is graduating on Tuesday well I think that was a little bit of an understatement because it's been crazy! I went to bed with a migraine and woke up with a migraine I think I'm close to burn out and I'm hitting that wall...I can't though there's still so much to do but I promise to have a card tomorrow. I have my DT card that I need to do so hopefully I will do it today instead of in the morning..We did S'mores last weekend and Rocks was in a wagon happy as can be :) ..it was a little cold so his jacket was on...AND then the last picture is what I would label ..Mom I don't feel so good, did you give me toilet water without me knowing?! teehee ..and I would have to say no Rocks it's because you were made to walk from the car to the house.... It took a lot out of him :)...have an awesome Saturday! Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
