Friday's challenge....on Saturday!



Sorry, I am running a bit late this week with the Friday challenge. I spent the last official day of Spring Break with the kids. We went to the movie and saw Nim's Island. It was really cute! I was pleasantly surprised.


Our challenge this week was to make a triangle box. I know there are several patterns out there, but I decided to make my own. I guess great minds work alike because MJ made one almost the same as mine! Check out her pattern here. Mine is a bit different as you will see. Instead of the tabs being on the triangle side, I left mine on the rectangle sides. Here is a picture of the box open. I made it with Stampin' Up!'s whisper white cardstock and then covered it with Gable green textured cardstock and some rose red designer paper. I punched a hold through the front triangle and mounted a piece of white behind it that I had stamped the strawberry from Tart and Tangy on. I used my markers to color directly onto the stamp to get the multicolored image. I punched out a 1-3/8 inch circle from some gable green cardstock and punched the scallop around it and mounted that around my strawberry circle. I used sticky strip to stick one side of the box shut and the other just tucks in. That way you can open it to get the goodies out! (I chose to eat the goodies and leave the box empty...)

I've got to keep this short tonight. The family is waiting on me to watch Mr Bean's Holiday. Gotta love that nutty guy!

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
