Surviving a crazy life!

Yes, I am still here.  Our spring break vacation was crazy!  We got stuck 30 miles from our first destination by traffic in snow.  We sat for 3 hours not moving at all, the car in park, and even off for an hour, in the middle of a major interstate.  It took 5 hours to travel that 30 miles, and we finally arrived at the hotel at 2am.  Coming home wasn’t as bad, but once again the interstate was closed, so our trip was delayed by a day.  We chose to stay and rest in the Hotel as opposed to fighting the traffic and slow speed limits.  A wise choice, we were so tired, we did nothing but rest and let the boys swim.

Here are some  more card that I cased from Michelle Zindorff.  She is amazing, and I’ve really had fun learning a new way to use some of my crafting tools.  Hope you enjoy them too!

This last card was made for the wonderful man who has done all the hard work on our house during our remodel.  We really appreciate his attention to detail, and so I wanted to make him a very special card.

  

Hope to post some more soon.  I have lots of fun things I’ve made, but I need to photo them, and download the photos.  Still need to download the photos from Spring Break too!

Have a great weekend!

Catching up on posting!

Here is the card I made for Gene for his birthday.  It was in conjunction with a sketch challenge on Stampin’ Connection, but due to the remodeling that took place at the house, I didn’t get it uploaded for the challenge.  I still think it is great though.

And here is the super fun project we did at a 14 year old birthday party last night!  Everyone had such fun making this.  It is a clipboard converted into a chalkboard.  We covered it with some of the vinyl chalkboard sheets that Stampin’ Up! is carrying right now.  Super Fun! 

Here is a close up of the super fun flower using pages out of an old book.  Isn’t it just adorable?

We are heading off tomorrow for spring break week.  Blessings to all!

Cool Samples

I have seen some awesome tutorials by Michelle Zindorf on using a brayer.  I’ve always been too intimidated to try it, but for some reason, I found some of her finished cards that I absolutely loved, so I gave them a try.  I think they turned out pretty cool.  What do you think?  This first one is for Gene’s Grandfather.  His birthday is today.  88 I think is how old he is.  He loves to fish, and thought this would be a great card for him.  Gene loved it.

This card makes me think of my son Tristan.  This is one of the stamps I got specifically with him in mind, and love having a really cool way to use it.

Not bad for my first attempts at her tutorials.  Hopefully I will get better with practice.  You can find more of her work here.
