More new cards

Here are some more new cards. I love this little duck and pool. It is two stamps- I had to use a masking technique to do this and it took forever for me to figure out.

My first award

This is my first award. I received this from my Sistah Rima. (http://rimasstuff.blogspot.com)
Thank you so much.

This award originates from the Spanish blog Arte y Pico (http://arteypico.blogspot.com)
The rules!

1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) To show these rules.


So my 5 choices are:My friend Katie (http://katiespaperhaven.blogspot.com), My sistahs, Bee (http://nannabeeshive.blogspot.com), Beckie (http://beckiejb.blogspot.com), Claireabelle (http://claireabellesblog.blogspot.com) and Nicoloa http://floydypops.blogspot.com). I hope these links work, if not they are on the left of my page. I haven't figured out how to make it so you just click and go.

These are cards I have done this week using a card sketch and a technique challenge from Splitcoast. I love the sketch with the circle in the middle. These were fun. The other two were to use your cuttlebug folder with ink on it for the background. I think they turned out cool.

The Most Wonderful Daddy!!

Leonard "Guff" Russell
July 13, 1924 to March 14, 2004

Today is the fourth year anniversary of my dad's passing. He was a wonderful Dad!! A WWII veteran who worked with all veterans in our community helping them get pensions and to work through their demons. He was a wonderful grandfather whose grandkids could do no wrong!! He taught my siblings and I to work hard, dream, respect others, stand up for our flag and country, support our soldiers and to be honest!! I still am very lonely for my dad - It is a loneliness that sometimes overtakes my heart!!

I joined the Sisterhood

Tonight I joined the SBS Sisterhood 14 of Splitcoast Blogging Stampers. Oh what fun it will be, I will have 20 online stamping sisters!!! Check out their blogs and creations.

Been getting lots done

I got alot done this week, 5 scrapbook pages for Disney books and a few cards. I just haven't had much time to upload them here and tonight for some reason I can not upload anything so I guess you will all have to wait. We had a decent weekend so worked outside, got some wood for next winter and cleaned the flower beds and mowed the yard.
