A card for Jill

Jill is in love with the new "sub" image, yes she's a "science geek" and knows all this technical information about some sub out in the ocean that is doing some type of amazing discovery...blah...blah...blah...so I had this idea that if she could - She Would, hijack the sub and ask to be kidnapped! Let's see who would she take with her certainly Glenda, maybe Heather, Michelle?
Here she is in her pirate garb!

Yes this is all in good FUN! Love ya Jill!
And this just occured to me too! A Surfin Flower!
Not sure why this is a little blurry but you get the idea! Surf Board is the flower petal, don't really like my coloring but love the idea! Enjoy the release today here and Shop till ya Drop!

Schedule Change,Amuse Bouche, Renovations

A beauty of a Bush, this Rhodedendron just loves this spot at my front deck, every year great blooms and no work!


Please note anyone signed up for my Let's Hear it 4 the Boyz classes at Sweethearts Stamps & Stitches, the date has changed to June 18th, same time 1:00 and 6:00 and same place!

And NOW my Amuse Bouche!
Summer Images are just being released this weekend and I missed the first 4 days, but here's a simply sanded edge card to inspire you. Go to a muse to see what all the muses are up to! Also I'd like to take a minute to congratulate Cherion on becoming an a muse instructor!




And Renovations! How many colors of paint on the wall, How many colors of paint!

The new color is called summer sorbet, from the Summer Retreat color palette at LOWES, the other colors Mom picked YEARS ago! Slowly but surely the reveal is coming. Wrong cabinets shipped, counter top to still be measured and ordered, the cabinets put us a week or two back on the schedule but still want to get done by the end of school! And chairs to reupholster purchased at the rescue mission for $15.00 total!

cabinets come on Friday

Yes! (urgh) still working the renovations but cabinets come on Friday so that will make a big difference in the way the blank walls look.

And just because there is so much catastrophe in the house this is what's going on outside the house.


Mama goose and her babes, yup dad's there too!


tulips are blooming and lilacs are coming too!


Here's a sample of my June class at Sweethearts Stamps, the Let's hear it for the boys class!

If it looks like the golf ball is coming at you! it is!

I haven't forgotten U!

I'm just knee deep in renovations right now! And I have 3 important things to share!

Did you know A muse is having an 8th Anniversay? You should go to their website and check out all that is going on!
  • For one, you will soon be able to purchase a Limited Edition set of stamps. I made a really quick card with the oval and circle label, it was past midnight and I didn't have my glasses on but I got the idea down, even though it's a little crooked.

  • 2nd you will be able to enter some challenges!
  • 3rd you might just get inspired to STAMP!

Also, I am teaching at Sweethearts Stamps this Thursday 1:00 & 6:00 here's one card we will be making. A surprise POP-UP inspired by Julie Ebersole.

Lastly, here's one more baby card I didn't get to post.

There was a day quite a few years back now, that I remember seeing the "baby" standing up in the crib, just about hanging out and me thinking, "time flies" and "HEY BABY", you're gonna fall, I still think that now but it's when they're standing on a skateboard, scooter, or roof! YIKES! A house of boys, it never changes. Mom's worry!
