Chemistry Blog Hop!


Hello again and welcome to the Chemistry blog hop. If you are joining me from
Jodi's blog you are in the right place. If not, head on over to the TSG blog and start
hopping. You will also get all the deets on how to win your very own Chemistry set.


I have two cards for you today. I know you will totally fall in love with this set! I know
I did. I definitely could have kept playing with this one but I thought I stick with two so
I would have something to show you the rest of the month.

For my first card I used some pretty Pink Paislee papers and paired it with the tube full of hearts. This is probably my favorite image in this set...until I make something with another one of the many images and then that one will be my favorite LOL!

My second card is simple! I played around with the hearts adding additional layers and
colors of stamped borders. Turns out it looked better just like this so I left it. It really didn't matter what I tried to add to this one I just kept taking things away LOL!

Thank you so much for stopping by again today! Every one of your
comments over the last few days has made me smile, so thank you!

Now head over to Maki's blog to keep on hopping!

ROFL Taglines Blog Hop!


Hi there and welcome to the ROFL Taglines blog hop! If you are joining me from
Jodi's blog then welcome! If not head on over to the TSG blog to start the hopping and
to find out how you can win your very on ROFL Taglines stamp set.

shoes

I used just a sentiment on this one because by the time I got the card all sorted out I didn't have any room to include the shoes! So I decided to highlight one of the funny sentiments included in this set. There are so many images and sentiments to choose from I actually had a hard time narrowing down which one to use! If I had had more time I probably could have busted out several more cards..but alas never enough time to do all the stamping I want! I actually had to give myself a pep talk today to get the bathrooms cleaned.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my post yesterday and for stopping by again today!
Head on over to Maki's blog to keep hopping!

TSG Aim For The Clouds Blog hop!

Hello and welcome! If you are joining me from Jodi's blog you are in the right
place. If not head on over to the TSG blog to start hopping and to get details on
how you can win your very own Aim For The Clouds set.



aim for the clouds

Every year at my kiddo's school the kindergarten class hosts the Pony Express. They hop on some stick ponies and deliver happy mail to the students. It's a fun tradition and I usually send my kids more than one love note with a little treat attached. These are the first two that I'll send. I thought these cute hot air balloons would be perfect for both of them!

On a happy note....when I asked my daughter if she wanted to buy her valentines or have me make them, she looked at me like I was crazy and said "I want you to make them, of course...unless you don't want too. Do you want to? I can help." Do I want to make them? HA! like I would have bought them even if she wanted me too. :)

Thanks for stopping by today. Head on over to Maki's blog to keep on hopping!

I wish I would have gotten my nephew in this shot. I just love the goofy
look Jack is giving Jayden. He totally had him cracking up!

I might have mentioned a time or two that I'm taking an online photography class. It's been a while since I had any instruction and I just love the way Karen Russell shoots photos of her family. So I'm taking the class and already getting some good results!

This picture was an attempt at a candid shooting assignment. My dear daughter, however apparently like to pose so this is as good as it got for a candid. It is however one of my new all time favorite photos so I had to share. Which has inspired me to share more. So you'll be seeing some more of my photography on here from time to time.
