About Me

My photo
I would classify myself as an artist. It took me a while to finally accept that monicker, but that's what I am; AN ARTIST!!! I have a wonderful hubs that supports my "talents" in most all avenues, except maybe when the credit card bill comes in the mail...LOL And I have 4 great kids and 5 beautiful grandchildren that I love to pieces. Come on by and sit a spell and "STAMP 'TIL YA CRAMP!!! & "CROP 'TIL YA DROP!!!"

A Whimsy thank you....

for a Whimsy Stamps Challenge on the WSC blog here. The challenge this week is to make a thank you card. This is what I came up with. The green background paper has those tropical leaves all over it, so I cut out two to use for the computer generated saying. That monkey cracks me up....I chalked some subtle clouds behind him using my cloud maker and powdered chalk from HERE. Swing on over there to join in the challenge and win a prize......its easy, like falling out of a tree.


Can't have enough thank you cards in your stash....the simpliest of things to do is send a card to someone. Yes, you can say thank you a dozen times; but when you send a card it just bumps it up a notch because you spent a little more effort and after all we are all 'visual' creatures....especially men....bwahahahahahaha!

I will send this card to JEFF (my sweetheart...he's out of town again working) for hanging in there for what seemed liked forever (3-1/2 years....arrrgghhh) for my divorce to become final. He is a SUPER dad to Harlee, I couldnt ask for anyone better. I met him about 3 yrs ago and he does nothing but spoil us two!!!!

Until later, Chimpettes.........Gotta split.........TFL !!!

No reason...

Just wanted to ink up this new image from Viva Las Vegastamps... I would make a special trip just to see this stamp store... It just looks like a fun place, and the stamps....if you haven't been to their website you really need to go there. They have stamps of every variety, theme, size, shape you name. So go check it out!!!!!

Well, last night I went to one of my nieces b'day parties and was drinking out of a fishbowl ....again.....bwahahahahahaha. My niece turned 40 so this was a big deal. We had the best time, too much to eat, maybe...just maybe a little too much to drink and I didnt get home unto 1:30 a.m. but I dont have a headache. I told them I wasn't going to be a mermaid and drink with the fishes all night.... bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Until later, fellow blogettes..............Gotta split..............TFL !!!!!!!!!!

It was my turn to come up with the challenge, so I chose the infamous #10 size card....the kind that fits into a #10 business envelope. They are a little tricky, but here are the dimensions of the card base; I cut mine at 9-1/2" X 8" and score it at 4". Isnt this a great image....can be colored to match any paper you have. Its a brand new artist and her designs are wonderful. So uproot yourself and get on over to the Blvd. and check out how the other DT members tackled this suh-weet challenge. Oooppps, sorry about that, shovel....I forgot to put away my tools.

A little birdie told me.....

that MyGrafico is having a challenge...... bwahahahahahaha!!!! This is the freebie image you can snag and make something cool to submit to the challenge. So, fly on over there and chirp for your freebie and get started...as soon as you get finished here, first!!!!! LOL
The image is only one bird, but I copied it and reduced it to make the smaller one. I cut the branch out of some handmade paper, it has sorta a bark-y look. Very simple layout and image was easy to color. You know how I love to color....I have to color something at least once a day; it makes me 'crazy happy' !!!!!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed the freebie yesterday. I love drawing and doodling while I'm watching TV at night, or while I'm pretending to watch TV...teehee. When Jeff is home he loves to watch the history channel and things of that nature. Me, not so much, but I have to admit some of the things are pretty interesting. But it has to catch my attention quick or it has lost me for the duration.
I have tons of doodles that need to be refined and brought to life, so we will see how well it goes.

Until later, Chickadees.............Gotta split............TFL !

First let me tell you about my card. Isn't this just the sweetest face. How could you not love it!!!! Its a new digi and its a freebie, I'll let you know where to get it in a second. The wording is a clear sticker out of my stash and the little bone clip is from Wally World.

Ok, I've had you in suspence long enough.... you can get the digi image HERE. Its a brand new artist, and this is her debut into the digi world, so be nice to her and give her some love!!!!!

Here she is:
ITS ME!!!!!!!!!!
Hope I surprised y'all !!!!!!..... 'Cause I surprise/scare myself sometimes.....bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Enjoy the puppy digi and let me see what you did with him/her. I didn't alter it when I colored the one on my card, so you could see the original image as it is. I almost colored it to match Booboo (our baby), I might do that later. I have others that I am working on and hope to get them released soon...... YIPPEE!!!!

Tanks...I mean THANKS!!!!!!

I colored these images and they have been sitting on my desk and I thought I would go ahead and use them. Turned out to be a pretty cute manly card. Even if the man isn't in the military.... Very simple layout and the whole card probably took me less than 10 minutes to put together. I computer generated the sentiment. Used giggle dots on the corners.....DONE!!!!

Ok, I can't leave you with just this little bit I've posted here.

I do have some great news...... One of my cards was selected to be published in the SNR newsletter....I can't show you the card until its published, but I can show ya this. Bwahahahahahaha...I'm terrible, aren't I......!!!!!!!
As soon as I can I will post the card here.

Until later, Bloggerettes..........Gotta split.........TFL !!!
