Lady Wildcats.....a great season !

Happy Sunday and a good morning to you !  It is so pretty here this morning it rained all night and it is so clear and sunny this morning I love days like this so I really glad I am offf to enjoy it.  So much has been going on here lately.... baby shower this afternoon, youngest DGS 2nd birthay next Sat. and trying to get everything organized for the basketball banquet this coming Friday, I do think we are ready to roll now everything is basically done except for the decorating and we will do that on Friday afternoon.  It is so much fun being a part of the Booster Club.  I was honored to be aksed to make the graduating seniors on the Varsity Team a scrapbook page.  Now you know I can't do that without making one for my granddaughter who is on the Freshman team, however she did warm up with the varsity and played with JV this season...she is a excellent basketball player that puts in heart and soul into her games, she scores a good majority of the points in most games.  I am so proud of the young lady she is and can't wait to see where her goals and dreams are going to take her !



Alyssa's girlfriend, played on the JV team went sledding this winter and had a little accident with a tree which put her on the bench for the rest of the season ....so I had to put a little humor in this layout !

yes that is my youngest DGD sitting with her .... who now plays basketball as well on a city league !  Thanks for taking the time to peek into my world this morning ! 
Have a great day.....
Hugs♥

Adorable Joy

Happy Friday to ya !  Can you believe we are half way through Feb, holy cow time just flies these days !  I thought things would be slowing down but that does not seem to be the plan in my life.  My oldest DGD is having her Basketball banquet on March 4th and I have said I would make the seniors on the team a scrapbook page there are only 5 of them so that is not to bad plus I will make one for my DGD and her good friend, plus getting other things and gifts together for all the teams, Freshman, JV, and Varsity.  So now you know what I will be working on for a little bit.  Not to mention I have a baby shower for #6 grandson Sun the 27th and then March 5th is my youngest DGS 2nd birthday !  I tell you I will really be ready for my vacation for Spring break.

It is inventory challenge #19 this time we were to use lace and ribbon....I used the new antique lace doohickey die from Mangolia-licious, with a little bow on top!  I just love this little image she is a Sugar Nellie digital image from Funky Kits, her name is "Joy Sitting".   I have followed the sketch and color challenge #53 from the Sugar Bowl.  She was printed on xpress-it blending card stock by copic if you have not tried this paper you are missing out I love it.  My image is colored with copics and I used a couple of prismacolor pencils to shade and add depth.  My DP's are from KC & co they are a stack I have had for years.  I have used kraft cardstock as my base and to back my image.  The flower is the doily flower doohickey die from Magnolia-licous, on which I added some shimmerz and curled the edges.  I used diamond stickles on her bow and apple. Little blue pearls are from my stash too.  Be sure to stop by my teammates, Christina, Danielle, Rene, Sandy and Jean to see the fabulous designs they have come up with.

Challenges:
Papertake Weekly - putting on the glitz
Sugar Bowl - Challenge 53

Hi there and a happy Friday to you !  I hope you have had a good week, I can't complain life is good here.  Do you all have any plans for the weekend...I will be watching my youngest DGD play basketball Sat. morning, hanging out with my son and his family all day and then we are all going to dinner that evening for Valentine's day. 

Well on to the reason you are here my card....yep we are still using up the inventory on hand.  This week we are bringing on the layers, my card has 7 not including the card base. I have followed the sketch at Midnight Madness  MMSC#90.  Over at the CMC Copic Challenge group, our challenge was to color something with flowers and use different techniques and or color schemes.  I have used the feathering technique for the flowers and have added stickles to the center.  My DP's were a gift from my Sis they are DCWV "Once upon a Time" mat stack.  The solids are DCWV also.
If you have a minute please stop by my team mates Christina, Danielle, Rene, Sandy and our newest member Jean, I am sure they have some beautiful creations to show.

♥Love is in the Little Things♥

It's Friday and that means another inventory challenge.... this week we were asked to make a Tag Card with some distressing.  You can find the directions for these cute cards by Tiets here.  My base piece of the card was 4.75 x 11 scored at 5.25.  My image is called "The Little Things" by LOTV they have the cutest images, so I had to break down and get a few...good thing we are able to buy stamps, copics and refills !  The little sentiment comes with the image.  I have colored my image with copics and shaded them with Distress Ink.  I have added some stickles to the flowers and the ribbon.  I followed some of the colors that the very talented Bev listed when she colored her image, if you have not seen her work you are missing out.  My papers are from Nitwits.  I have used the swirl doohickey die from Magnolia-licious.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Be sure to stop by and see what my team mates Christina, Danielle, Rene and Sandy have come up with.  I know you will be pleased.  I hope you have a great weekend and are staying warm in the bizarre weather we are having here in the US.  To those of you watching the "Big Game" Sunday ... I hope the team you are pulling for wins.

Challenges:
Wild Orchid Crafts - Love is
LOTV - Romance
Craft us Crazy - Anything goes
