Mother's Day Digi Darlas

Good morning everyone! I can't believe tomorrow is Mother's Day!! Today I am going to take my mother to our church. They are having a BBQ Fundraiser this weekend. We are going to go over there and have a nice BBQ plate with everyone. It is going to be a beautiful day to be outside too! It should be fun :) And then tomorrow will be my day to do nothing HAHA! Just what I want! I can hang out and color or do whatever I want! Isn't that what is supposed to happen on Mother's Day? hehehe

That will be the weekend...  a bit of a relaxed weekend I'm hoping. The weekends really do go by too quickly.  What else is going on with everyone?  My oldest, Taylor, finished up her finals this week at University. She will finish up with A's and B's for this semester. She isn't really keen on her Accounting or Finance professors. She took five (5) classes this past semester too. I think it was a bit overwhelming for her. I think she will go down to four (4) classes again as it seemed more manageable. And with Taylor, she wants all A's and it was a lot harder to get that with the extra class. She felt like one class was always getting neglected. Good on her for wanting to do well. I'm really proud of her.

My other two have two more weeks left in High School. They have their End of Course Testing next week and the following week. From what they tell me, everyone is passing everything. That means that Michael will pass math and that is HUGE! But his teacher is making him do the work and he is succeeding. After school is out I'm sending him to his sister for the summer. He says that he wants to come back after summer and finish at Allatoona. With that said, his sister and I have spoken and Michael can graduate on time, the end of next year, if he gets through three math classes. The only way I can see him successfully doing that is with his sister's help. She is a whiz at math and she will be able to help him. I am not able to help him because I can't remember half of that stuff. It has just been too long since I've done any of that. Her and I talked about it and we will see if she can convince him to stay up there and get through his last year. Time will tell :)

Well... that is all the rambling I will do! Here is a Mother's Day card from me:








This is an image from Digi Darla's, who is no longer around. The image is Loving Arms. I've colored this with Copic Markers. I created the wall and floor around the image of the mother and baby on the chair. I've added the little porcelain flowers, some skittles, twine and charm. The Happy Mother's Day is stamped. I've managed to use all scraps for this card. The banner is die cut as are the corners on the inside. I added some additional skittles on the inside as well. I have done a small amount of layering on the image.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Baby Blanket: B000, B00, B01, B02, B04

Super Mom You Are Appreciated

Good morning! I hope you all have had a great week. Bailey and I went to the Varsity Girls Lacrosse game last night to show our support. They had a great game and added another win to their year. I believe they only have two games left.

Tonight we are going to the Kennesaw University Girls Lacrosse game. I'm hoping they can get another win too! It is really fun to watch them play! I keep trying to get the team to go, but they aren't joining us, so I will keep trying. I really think they would all enjoy it. The Atlanta Blaze actually play their season opener on Saturday. I think we are not going to be making that game though. I'm really excited to have them here though! How fun! Major League Lacrosse team right in our backyard! :D  Let's see... and then there is Sunday and that will be church and then Bailey has Khaos Lacrosse practice.

Our plans this weekend are to bleach and repaint our front porch! We have a bit of mildew growing, so we think it is time to clean it up and repaint. Bailey has been told that she can't go anywhere and can't have friends over this weekend so she can pitch in. She is a little High School social lite! and wants to always be doing something!!  So, that is the weekend! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get some crafting done.. I'm hoping to get a little bit done myself!








For this Appreciation/Mother's Day card, I've chosen to use the awesome Super Mom from KennyK Stamps. I love her!! I've used some scrap patterned papers that I had. I think I've used up all that spotted paper, which I love! I've inked the edges of the papers. I've added some twine and a charm. The die cut around the image is a My Favorite Things. I've stamped the sentiment on the front. On the inside I have used the same papers inked around the edges. I did a small amount of popping on this image... just her arm. I've colored her with Copic Markers.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, e00, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Skirt, Shoes and Red on Dress: R20, R22, R24, R29, E99
  • Blouse: BG70, BG72, BG75
  • Hair: E71, E74, E77, E79

Christmas Bear

Good morning! I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas!! We had a really nice Christmas with the family. Michael had to work on Christmas day, so I took him down to see my sister and mother on Christmas Eve. He opened all his gifts and was able to spend time with them. Bailey is in California of course, with her father. On Christmas Day, we dropped Michael off at work and then headed down to my sisters. We spent a lot of the day down there. We had lobster tails and steak for dinner. It was beautiful! Then we headed home, thinking that we had to pick up Michael a little after 4 pm. He didn't get home until much later.

Then on Sunday night my oldest daughter came back. She had an eye appointment yesterday. She has some holes in her retina which can cause a retinal detachment if not treated. She will need to get laser surgery on her eyes. She also has to do some special testing on her eyes. She is going to Colorado right after the 1st of the year, so her test is set up for the 12th after she returns. Then the first eye will have surgery on the 26th and the 2nd eye will be done on February 9th. She has always had terrible eyes.

And after spending the day with Taylor I realized she has this terrible cough. When I asked her how long she has had it she says.. a while! So I told her I was going to try to get her in to see the doctor today. I'm just waiting until they are there to call in. I'm hoping they can get her in this morning. I know she wants to go back home. So that is it for us. I'm trying to enjoy my last week off. Getting the Open-Minded Crafting Fun challenge ready for the 10th of January and trying to get some crafting and coloring done.

Here is my share this morning:








For this card I've used Gift Stack Teddy which you can find in the From The Heart Shop. I've colored the image with my Copic Markers. I've done a small bit of layering. I've also used some clear Wink of Stella to give some of the gifts sparkle. I did a bit of distressing on the papers. All of these papers are scraps. I did a bit of hand stitching on the image. I used Snow Marker for the white parts of the hat to add some dimension there. I added a charm there as well. I've added some thread with beads and bells across the top of the card. I also added two light blue snowflake eyelets. I used the same papers, all distressed, on the inside as well.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Bear: B21, B23, B24
  • Red Hat, Ribbon and Gift Wrap: R20, R22, R24, R29

Christmas Gift #2 for My Sister

Happy Thursday everyone!!  This is the kids last week of school before the holiday break. They are out early today and Friday because of Final Exams. Then Bailey will be headed off to California on Christmas Eve morning. I'm so sad she is leaving me at Christmas.. it really stinks!!  We are thinking of opening gifts the day before Christmas Eve so that we can do it with her. We will keep talking about it and see. Maybe we just let her open hers? I just don't know. Maybe I should just make her wait until she gets back! LOL  I can't decide.

Tomorrow I am working from home.. I have so much to do. I have a lot to try and get done before next Wednesday so that none of the bills are past due. So, I'll be busy at work tomorrow. Friday night I am having dinner with my previous boss. She was the best boss. I'm so happy to get to see her.. really looking forward to it! Other than that, this weekend I will be coloring, creating and working on Christmas gifts. I have a lot to do in the next week!

Okay... on to today's project to share with you:










This is a Jim Holtz idea-ology Assesmblage Clock. This is also another gift for my sister. My sister has really gotten into Scuba Diving. She has gotten certified and traveled to different places to dive. So, I thought of her for this. I wanted to give it an under the sea theme with a Scuba Diver. I painted the clock that blueish color. I've added netting and shells and sand dollars and starfish to the outside. I added the charm hanging off a bit of chain. At the bottom of the inside I have added sand. All of the other pieces are made out of clay. I made porcelain clay and used my acrylic paints to color it. I had so much fun with this clay! I've asked for some tools to help me create some other things. I even made a little pendant for my youngest with her favorite bands emblem. Okay... back to the clock! I've colored up some fish and sea creatures with my copic markers. Some of them are found from the web and others are from Drawn With Character. The background and Scuba Diver are from The Paper Shelter. I also used some Diamond Glaze to add bubbles and to cover the mask of the Divers helmet. I had a lot of fun making this. I think I could have done more, but not too bad for a first try I guess! I hope she likes it :)

Busy With Christmas Gifts

Hi Everyone!!! I have not been doing a ton lately! I've been busy shopping and trying to make Christmas gifts. Today is my three (3) year anniversary!! I can't believe I've been married to Kevin for three (3) years! It just seems like yesterday! So... we went to the Field of the Woods in North Carolina yesterday. We did that for our Anniversary. We left out early in the morning and we got back early evening. We had a really wonderful day. We always do though. It is fun to hang out and travel with him :)  We have a great time always. So, today we did some Christmas shopping and had a really nice lunch. That was it for us :)  I thought I would start sharing some Christmas gifts that I have made. I can't share them on Facebook or they will see them LOL So, I'll post them on here now and then Facebook after Christmas :)

This is my first share. This is a Christmas gift for my sister. She collects Lizards, so I took this candle holder that we bought at Goodwill. It is made of steel and it was painted black at the start. I forgot to take photos before!








This was all iron and it was black. I've painted the whole thing orange. I had Kevin add the screw at the top so that it would hold a candle without the worry of it tipping over.  There was bamboo in the middle of these when I got them. I took all the bamboo out and I added the two thin canvases. I painted the lizards with my Copic markers. I wasn't sure how well they would do on a canvas, but with wanting to dot them I think it turned out okay. The outline was done with Copic liners. I did the background in watercolors. I added two velum sayings and a bit of other vellum. Kevin added some Acrylic to cover the vellum and canvases. I took two of the bamboo slats and I've added them to the sides. I added some sequins, a lizard charm and a bunch of flowers. I wanted it to be colorful and for her to be able to use it in her outside covered area near her pool. That is where she has a ton of lizards hanging. I also added a bit of wire at the top and bottom. So, that's it... my altered candle holder for my sister.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Green Lizard: YG00, YG01, YG05, YG07, YG17, YG67
  • Green Lizard Spots: B37, B69
  • Red Lizard: R20, R22, R24, R27, R29
  • Red Lizard Spots: Y15, Y19
  • Purple Lizard: V15, V17, BV08
  • Purple Lizard Spots: RV13, RV14, RV66
  • Lizard Mouths: R39, R59, R89
  • Lizard Tongues: R20, R22, R24

Quirky Christmas

Evening everyone!! It is just about time for bed I think. And I'm cold! So I need to be all snuggled up and watching a movie I think LOL  It has been a pretty relaxed weekend here. We have just hung out. Kevin worked on his trike and I have crafted. My youngest daughter got in big trouble this weekend, but we are past that. She is grounded for the week and I hope she learned her lesson. We went to my mother's this morning to help her with her cable box, but it did not end up working in the end. They are going to send another one out. I'll see if we can get that one working once it gets there.

I've made a list for Kevin and Bailey to work on Monday and Tuesday. A list of things to get for Thanksgiving. They have to pick up the Ham on Tuesday. Michael's birthday is Wednesday, so I've also made a list of some things to get for that. I work on Monday and Tuesday, so I have a lot to get done at work over the next couple of days. And in the morning it is supposed to be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold for me on the bike!! I have a bunch of clothes to get layered up hehehe!!

Okay.. here is my card I created for Quirky Christmas as a Guest Designer:









I've used Mixie from That Craft Place Ltd. I think she is adorable. I've colored her with my Copic markers. The gold on the stars and on the dress are glitter gold embossing powder from WOW. All of the papers are scraps. I've added some gold thread and the charm at the top. I've done a bit of layering on the image. I've added a small bit of stitching as well. I've added some pink gems on the sentiment I created. The wings I used some Wink of Stella, white and pink.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
  • Blue: B0000, B000, B01, B02, B04
  • Pink: R81, R83, R85
  • Hair: E50, Y21, Y15, Y26, YR24, E37

3 Girl JAM Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the "Thankful for 3 Girl JAM Fans Blog Hop!"  The 3 Girl JAM design team has joined up with a few of our friends and fans to put together an awesome hop full of inspiration and fun!

3 Girl JAM has put together an awesome prize package of crafty goodness!  To win it, all you have to do is leave a comment on each stop of the hop.  Easy peezy!

Here is my project for our Hop. Thankful... I am thankful for my friends. This is something I made for a friend at work who is expecting next month. :) I gave her the card and the stroller full of Kit Kats, along with a little outfit for her little precious package coming.






I created this little carriage using my Silhouette Cameo. I've used cardstock and patterned paper. The patterned paper is from a Mambi Stack. I've inked a lot of the papers with black ink. I've added some ribbon and some small and large blue pearls. I've used some twine to hang a carriage charm. I've used two brads on the carriage umbrella piece. And then of course I've filled it with yummy Kit Kats which I can't eat any longer LOL  Oh well! :D








For this bottle shaped card I have used a Tiddly Inks image, Lullaby. I've colored the image with my Copic Markers and I've done just a small amount of layering. I popped the mother up one level. I've used the same papers I used for the carriage project. I've also inked the papers with black ink. I've added some blue sequins, gems and pearls towards the top of the bottle. And I've also added some ribbon towards the bottom of the card. You can find Challenges that I have entered both projects in at the bottom of the post :)
