Beautiful Maegan...

Today was a beautiful, relaxed, inspiring Sunday. I slept til 10:30 and then got up and went to the church for General Conference. The speakers were wonderful and so were my children! That was quite a blessing! Of course, Ben and Jared were home with Brad, so it was possible! We traded off for the second session.

Needless to say, I didn't have any stamping time today. Therefore, I am sharing one more scrap page I did for my contest. This picture is of my wonderful daughter Maegan. She is my right hand and my buddy. She really is fabulous and beautiful! The paper I used for this is from Basic Grey. The flowers were printed on the paper when I got to it. I trimmed it down a bit and mounted it on Chocolate Chip paper. I added the butterfly transparencies (Bohemia) , the felt stickers (can't remember where those are from), and the gold rub-ons you can barely see...a rectangle in the upper right, a butterfly on the left and some other flowers here and there. I anchored it all with some antique silver square brads in two corners. I really liked how this page came together. I started out with a totally different image in my head but...it just morphed into this.

I promise to try and stamp something tomorrow to share. The kids will be back at school so, maybe I will have a minute or two!!

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...

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...
