My Song: Climb Every Mountain

Climb every mountain

A dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life

Climb every mountain

 A closer look at my cute digi stamp!

 Bubbles and more bubbles!

 The sentiment die!

It is time for another fun challenge at The Paper Shelter! For me this was a fun challenge as I love my punches and dies. I love using dies with punches a close? second. I must admit the storage issue is why I love my dies! I used "Relaxing Bath" for my card. Doesn't this cute image make you want to hop into a relaxing tub of water? I used dies for my sentiment, bottle, mirror, and frame for the inside of the card. Liquid Glass was used on the bubbles in the tub and on her hair. I hope you enjoy this card and will thank God for all the 'little' things we have in our lives!  Now, back to our fun challenge, you will find beautiful images over at the The Paper Shelter and there are so many to choose from also. Our Sponsors are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website. But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.

So grab those punches, dies, and join the fun!

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: The Little Things (The Oak Ridge Boys)

It's the way you kiss me when we're walkin' down the street 

It's the words you whisper when we're driftin' off to sleep 

A certain way you touch me, the way you say "hello" 

Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.

The way you pour your coffee in the early mornin' light 

The way you call my name out in the middle of the night 

How you sit for hours singin' with the radio 

Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.

It's not the memories or all that we've been through 

It's not the distant dreams that keep me coming back to you 

It's not the promises that keep me warm at night 

It's just the every day, it's just the safe and sound, it's just our home sweet home.

And when we're old and gray now and the kids have gone away 

We're alone together I may turn to you and say 

There's something I forgot to tell you and by now I think you'll know 

Baby it's the little things that make me love you so. 

Woah woah, Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.

Cute As A Button Mermaid! ***

 

A closer look!

I seem to be on a mermaid kick lately, but they are so much fun to color. This darling mermaid is the latest release at "Cute As A Button"! She is called "Reggae" just click on the link to go to the store!  This is one of those I wish you could see this card in real life as the picture does not show all the sparkle! I used 'Wink of Stella' on her tail and the beads in her hair. I also used liquid glass on the bubbles. I hope you will take time and hop on over to the Cute as A Button Shop and grab some of the fabulous digis you will find there.

My  Song: Part of Your World (Little Mermaid)

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

Happy Birthday Luke!

 

 

Today is our oldest grandson's 13th birthday. He is a wonderful blessing to our family. He is always teasing me about being a "Grey Hair" and he tells me when I 'get old' he will drive me where ever I need to go! I had to laugh when I saw this stamp from Mo Manning because it was perfect for his birthday card! He did get a big kick out of it and  it made me happy to know I made him laugh on his special day! Happy Birthday Luke....can't believe you are a teenager already.

My Song: Tea For Two (Doris Day)

Picture you upon my knee, 

Just tea for two and two for tea,

Just me for you

And you for me alone.

Nobody near us

To see us or hear us,

No friends or relations

On weekend vacations.

We won't have it known, dear,

That we own a telephone, dear;

Day will break and you'll awake 

And start to bake a sugar cake, 

For me to take

For all the boys to see.

We will raise a family, 

A boy for you, a girl for me.

Oh, can't you see

How happy we would be?

The Wizard of Oz

 A Closer Look!

 And Another!

 

I had so much fun playing with this card. I even had a big blob of ink pour out of my Copic pen and I was able to incorporate it in the pleat of the skirt! Flowers and some pretty little pearl stars added to the magic of this cute digi stamp. If you look close you will see little dots around the stars which came from a spica pen! Some more pearls and touches of glitter on her dress finish off this fun card! I made this card for Cute as a Button's Inspiration Blog! You can find this beautiful digi HERE!

My Song: We're Off To See The Wizard (Judy Garland)

Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow the yellow brick road

Follow the rainbow over the stream
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow the yellow brick road

We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a wiz
If ever a wiz there was
If ever, oh ever a wiz there was

The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz

My Song: What A Wonderful World (Louie Armstrong)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

Holiday Time!

A closer look

My cute die cut!

The sentiment (also a die cut)

The inside of my card!

It is hard to believe that summer will soon be over and soon the kids will be back at school. Like most people we are trying to cram as much as we can in these hot summer days. Well, here is a fun challenge at The Paper Shelter and  it is Holiday Time!  I chose "Where We Goin'?" digi for my card. Yes, she is one of my favorites! I hope you will take time to join this fun challenge and remember if you use a stamp from The Paper Shelter you could win $30 to spend in there store on the items of your choice! 

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: Me and Bobbie McGee (Janis Joplin)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train

And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained

It rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna

I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah

Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine

We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no

And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues

You know, feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun

There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done

Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away

He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it

But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday

To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah

But, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues

Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Ice Skates!

It is time once again for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter!  

Our challenge is "Going Digital"! That's right we want to see your entries with a digi image! And if you are interest in winning a $30 then just use a digi from The Paper Shelter! I chose "Ice Skates" for my card. I don't normally use dark colors in my cards. A creature of habit I always reach for the pinks, peaches, etc. But I had this Christmas paper torn out of the pad and wanted to use it before it was ruined. I am so glad that I did as I loved the way it turned out! I hope you enjoy it and that you will join the fun at our challenge!

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: Wonderwall (Paul Anka) (played at the Olympic Figure skating this year)

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

Back beat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

I don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me?

And after all

You're my wonderwall

Ribbons and Buttons

It is time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter! I chose Spring Style for my card you can find her at The Paper Shelter Shop! I must admit I had one disaster after another when I made this card! 

First, after coloring my cute little buttons so they would match my card perfectly, I glued them on and realized I had one button that didn't match! But trying to remove it was going to rip my paper and I didn't have enough of an edge to play with! So, I gritted my teeth and moved on. Then I was putting liquid glass on with my 'fine tipped' bottle and a big glob dropped out on my stamp! I quickly tried to wipe it up but it still left a large spot that I didn't like! So, not to be outdone by this small calamity I found some cute 3-D butterfly stickers (who cares at this point if they matched my card) and stuck them on so I could use one to cover up the glob tragedy! Then I had to put my ribbon on three times before I could mange to not have it twisted. I did manage to add the bow, and little pearl bow, and the sentiment without further incident! LOL! Boy, did I sigh with relief when this card was finally completed!

My Song: Buttons and Bows (Dinah Shore)

East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And I'll stand out in buttons and bows

(Yes! I did know this song isn't Ribbons and Buttons!)
