Flossie Bumblethrope


Happy Saturday! Boy it was an extremely long week for me. But the weather for the last few days has been wonderful! Thursday was 68 degrees - in February!! But it is back to winter next week. Rain and storms tomorrow - ish. Oh well, no snow in the forecast so it is all good.

Today's card was made from a digi image from Just Inklined. I just could not resist her! Of course she was colored with my copics. The red paper was a piece of left over from another project and the purple paper is from Lasting Impressions. I used some Twinklettes from Taylored Expressions on her glasses to give them some bling. I think I had glasses like that years ago!! Flossie is enjoying the nice weather as well. She is going for a walk. I thought of my Mom when I made this card. She was 92 years old and her doctor wanted her to use her walker. She refused saying "it makes me look old" Well her doctor had a fun sense of humor so he suggested that she put a sign on her walker saying "My pediatrician made me use this". It didn't work but I thought it was great fun.

On another note, last Saturday night my husband got tickets to a hockey game. He had never been to one and asked our son in law and grandson's to go with him. My daughter and I decided to go out to dinner. We were sitting in a popular steak house when we looked up and saw Warren Buffett at the next table over. That was exciting! Even when you go to the shareholders meetings you don't get that close!


Enjoy your week and until next time...

Happy Trails to you....

PS. My friend Vicki awarded me the Liebster award. It is supposed to bring people to you blog and is awarded to blogs who are smaller. I have no one to send it on to at the moment but I want to thank Vicki so much for thinking of me.

Happy Valentines Day Justin and Aaron


I made Valentines alike for our grandsons. The only difference is that one is a long card and one is a wide card. I used PaperTrey Ink cardstock, SU heart cups, stickers from my stash and then filled the cups with M&M's. I mailed them together in the same place at the same time and wouldn't you know it, Aaron got his and Justin didn't. I should have hand delivered them! Hopefully by tomorrow Justin will have his. Surely the mailman knows how important it is to deliver them both at the same time. Jeeze!!

Until next time... Happy trails to you

EDITED TO ADD: Justin received his Valentine and is a happy camper. Whew! Score one for Grandma :)

Paper Trey Ink Anniversary Contest


It is Paper Trey Ink's Fourth anniversary and they are celebrating by having a customer contest. Customers are to show their favorite card they made in 2010 using Paper Trey Ink's products. This is a card I posted last spring and am showing again. I used Floral Frenzy to make this card for a friend who was retiring. I hope you like it!

Until next time, Happy Trails to you....

Another Valentine


What is a girl to do when it is snowing and blowing and you can't get out except to shovel and then shovel again. I made a few new Valentines! This one was made before but thought I would post it now. It is a Hangler image and I used my Copics to color her. The hearts are ones that I bought last year and put away for safe keeping. When February came last year I went to get them. They had just disappeared! I looked everywhere at least three times. Well, guess what I found this year? Yup, right on top in a drawer that I just knew I had looked in. Does anyone else do this? I can't tell my kids, they may put me in a home! lol

Anyway, I hope it is nicer in your part of the world than it is here. Spring is coming eventually I hope.

Until next time, happy trails to you!

Belated Happy Birthday!

Hello all of Sheri's friends! I just snuck in to Sheri's blog to show you a card I sent to her last week. It's a belated birthday card.....FYI.....not forgotten!! I was just too committed with DT work and my own xmas cards that I fell behind. NO EXCUSE!! So I was hoping that maybe if I sent her a belated card and made it a super star card all would be forgiven. I hope you agree. Sheri seems to have thought it was pretty nice so I think I'm off the hook. Phew!! LOL!!

A note from Sheri that this card is even more amazing in person! Thanks so much, my friend!!

HAPPY BELATED SHERI!!

A Valentine For You


Ahhh January is almost over and that means we are closer to spring. I say this as I just came inside from shoveling another 9 inches of snow off of our driveway. The sun is shining and it looks pretty outside but in reality it is only 8 degrees out there. A good time to stay inside and craft! With that said, here is a valentine I made a couple of weeks ago. I used PTI paper and a Nestie to cut out the hearts. I used scraps from my scrap box for the hearts and a piece of ribbon for the bow. I put the cut out heart piece up on dimensionals. The sentiment is from PTI's Heart Prints. Easy peasy!

Until next time, Happy trails to you....

To The Moon and Back


I had so much fun making this card. My friend Georgia gave me some of these cut out cards and I couldn't wait to play with them. I dug out my Pure Innocence Naptime stamp and colored her on white PIT paper with my Copics. I paper pieced her jammies with a scrap of paper out of my scrapbox. Ok, so now I need a moon. I found a sun I have had for years. It is by All Night Media and called Mary Sunshine. I then cut a circle out with my Nestibililities and colored the face of the sunshine directly onto the stamp and stamped it on the circle. Ahha! Perfect! So I added that and then found the sentiment on another Pure Innocence set. Now I just need a little girl to give it to. My only granddaughter is 21 so would probably not appreciate it. All of the rest of them are boys and I know they wouldn't like it. Hmmmm maybe one of my daughters??? Or maybe I will just keep it and gaze at it. I think it is one of my favorites.

Until next time... Happy trails to you!!
