Blueberry flip




I still have blueberries in my fridge....I admit it. I haven't gotten around to canning them. We have enjoyed snacking on them during game night tho! Fresh blueberries are the best! I have to say tho...I haven't been sitting around being lazy! I canned another batch of tomatoes and peaches. And then today...I bought over 200 cucumbers to pickle. I think I may have caught a bug! The best part is that my kids are totally eating this up! They are having a blast helping me. I love working together with them. It has been the best summer so far!


I also had a fun stamp gathering on Saturday night. Here is one of the cards we made. It is a flip flap card that Pat Huntoon came up with. Check out her website for tons of great ideas! You can even sign up for her technique Junkies
newsletter. If you do, tell her I sent ya! For the base of this card I used SU basic black. The patterned paper is yet another piece from the awesome pallete of patterns from this month's special. I used both sides of the piece on this so you could see them both. Two sided paper is so fun! The heart is stamped with black onto barely banana cardstock and colored with an appricot appeal marker and my awesome white gel pen. I cut it out and mounted it on some dimensionals and stuck it in the middle of the stamped word heart.
A simple but fun card. Here is a view of it opened. Enjoy!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
