It's monday!!

This is pretty much how I feel about Monday. LOL Just kidding. I thought this picture of Ben was just too cute! He was playing with the camera the other day taking pictures....don't you just love digital?! and he got this picture of himself. Not too bad! I don't remember what he was being but I'm sure it was something scarey.

I made this card the other day and kind of liked how it turned out. I had these two pieces of designer paper in my , you guessed it Scrap pile! I liked the colors together but the patterns were a bit much next to each other. I added some rickrack (sorry mom....she has a phobia of that) and a strip of lite yellow ribbon along the 'seam' of the two papers. It toned them both down and made them friends. I added a big daisy from my pretties kit and a chipboard circle from some kit I got from somewhere, in the middle. It is a simple card that could work for lots of things.

Have a good monday! I'll be enjoying my piles of laundry.....yay.

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...
