"Look At You"

 A closer look at my Wee stamp!

 Foam flower I created!

 The inside of my card!

 

I had such a fun time working on this card. True it took me a week to make because my arm just doesn't co-operate like I want it to. Month four of a broken shoulder and I am so ready for it to be healed. Despite the fact my arm hurt I enjoyed playing. I love Wee images and this bunny just looks like he is having fun. I also bought the Peony Dies created by Bev Rochester! Oh, my, playing with the really thin foam is so fun and the flowers are beautiful. Bev has a wonderful video showing you how to make the small roses. I watch the video "after" I made this flower! But I still love how it came out. I will be passing this card on to a special friend! As you Read this I am in Puyallup, Washington. Enjoying the Scrapbook Expo with my friends. It will be a fun time and I am sure I will see many new and exciting products and techniques. I have two full days of classes and three crop nights. Yes, I will be tired when I get home.

My Song: Look At Us (Vince Gill)

Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other

If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Lace and Pearls

 

Time to get your girly on as our challenge this time at The Paper Shelter Challenge our theme is Lace and Pearls. I decided to choose Victorian Beauty to make my card. To me she just screams lace and pearls. I added some pretty die cut lace and inked the edges to make them pop. Pearls were added to the lace, dress bows, mirror and just for accent. I used some liquid glass on the mirror for some shine. So hop on over to The Paper Shelter and check out the lovely stamps you have to choose from and join in on the the fun. You cannot beat the deals you can find at The Paper Shelter!

My Song: A Sweet Old Fashioned Girl (Teresa Brewer)

Scoobley-doo-bee-doo
Be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo

Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
Scoobley-dah-doo-bee-dumb
Wouldn't anybody care about a sweet old-fashioned pearl?
Scoobley-doo-bee-dumb

Who's a frantic little bopper in some sloppy socks
Just a crazy rock'n'roller, little Goldilocks
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?

Doesn't anybody care to hear some sweet old-fashioned talk?
A-scoobley-doo-bee-dumb
Wouldn't anybody like to take a nice old-fashioned walk?
Scoobley-doo-bee-dumb

Take a walk around the corner where the cats all stop
Where you dig the juicy ribs and then you'll dance that bop
Wouldn't anybody like to take a nice old-fashioned walk?

Time For A Wedding

 A closer look!

 Lots of sparkle and bling!

The right inside of my card!

 The left inside of my card.

 

A dear friend and our local youth pastor is attending his niece's wedding. He asked me to do a 'special' card for him. This is what I came up with. The pretty embossing is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The outside die cut is from Heartfelt Creations. Pearls, liquid pearls, some pretties from Queen & Co. finish off this wedding card.

My Song: Chapel of Love (The Beach Boys)

Going to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Going to the chapel
And we're gonna get married

Gee I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Going to the chapel of love

Spring is here (ooo-ooo-ooo)
The sky is blue (sky is blue)
Birds all sing (oh the birds all sing)
Like they do (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Today's the day (wah-hooo-oooo)
We'll say "I do" (ooo-oooo)
And we'll never be lonely anymore

My Song: Run, Run, Look, and See (Bryan Hyland)

Run, run, look and see
Run, run, look and see
I thought I saw you yesterday
I could have sworn you'd passed my way

But it was too good to be true
And there was nothing I could do

My heart says:
Run, run, look and see
Are my eyes just foolin' me?
While I'm runnin', I keep prayin'
All the time my heart keeps sayin':
Run, run, look and see
Run, run, look and see

My Song: Dream Lover (Bobbie Darin)
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
