Card Patterns

Morning ladies.  Just a quick post before heading out the door to work.  Our meeting yesterday at the school went very well.  I haven't pulled out the results from his first assessment in JK, but he is average or above average in everything but his articulation is still a problem.  She has requested Kurzweil for him in the classroom and luckily it is one that can be shared at home.  It may take till next school year to have it approved through the board.  But will be a great help to him when we get it.  Also a great benefit for the entire class. 
My quiet morning yesterday, I made this card.  It is for Card Patterns-sketch 51.  This stamp set is one of my faves.  It is from Stampin Up Eastern Influences.  I did the whole card in black and white, stamping the flower twice, coloring it with distress ink and mounting it with foam squares.  I did all the images with black embossing to make them standout a little more.

Here is the sketch.
Have a great day and
Happy crafting ;o)

House Mouse

Morning ladies.  A bit of quiet time for me.  I have the morning to myself, and a meeting at the school this afternoon with the speech pathologist.  We find out how much the little guy has improved in four years.  It's a fine line, you want him to improve, but you also don't want to loose the extra help in the classroom.  He is needing the EA less and less which is good, but there are still times that he gets frustrated and needs her. 
On to my card.  Our local craft store The Craft Nook got in some House Mouse stamps.  They are sooo cute.  I have purchased two, this is the first one.  This card is for 365 Cards-Day 352-Gloria's Sketch.  Well done Gloria, love the sketch.

This is Gloria's sketch.

Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines to everyone.  It's late but I had to finish this card tonight.  It's for DH.  I'm watching the Olympic's while trying to do this.  Womens Mogels are on.  Last night when I got home from work at 10:30 the kids were still up watching the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics.  Sam is really into watching the athletes because, her class at school has an asignment to research a Canadian athlete.  On Thursday they did their oral presentations, so she knows the names of some of them.     
This card is for:
Little Red Wagon-Challenge #15-Red with Bling.  Not much red on my card but I have pink heart gems. 
Cute Card Thursday-Challenge#99-In the name of Love!
Cupcake Craft Challenges-Challenge #77-Red and White all over.

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Tomorrow.

Happy crafting ;o)

A Blast from the Past

Good morning ladies, happy Sunday.  It's been so nice to be home all weekend with the family.  I had Friday off to go over to Parry Sound for a concert.  My two aunts and I left early in the afternoon and met my cousin (who flew down from Thunder Bay) and her girlfriend, and went out for dinner, then the show. We went to see Deric Ruttan with Hey Romeo opening for him.  Deric is my cousin, it's amazing to see him up on stage.  And to have a band opening his show, it wasn't too many years ago that he was opening for bigger names.  It was a great show.
This card looks like it is a blast from the past.  Something from the 60's.  I cut the vase out of chipboard, stamped the flower stems and made the heart flowers from 3 heart shapes.  It is for Little Red Wagon-Challenge #14-Chipboard.

This little cutie is for Cupcake Craft Challenges-Challenge #76-Four legged & Furry.
The sketch is Card Patterns-Sketch #50.

Happy crafting ;o)  

365 Cards, Cupcake and Little Red Wagon

I'm about 24 hrs late posting my cards.  We worked removing snow from the driveway till 9:30 last night.  When I came in the power had flashed off and turned the computer off.  I was so tired just didn't feel like posting.  The snow has finally quit falling today and we had blue skies and sunshine.  I still didn't make it to work, because the car had sat for two days with the snow falling around it.  It was like it was in a pit.
Enough about the snow.  On to the cards.  This one is for Cupcake Craft Challenges-Challenge 69-Sing a Christmas Carol.  You were to choose your favorite christmas carol to use on your card.  I heard 'I'll be Home For Christmas' on the radio the other day and thought this stamp was perfect.  It is also for 365 Cards-Day 284-DIY Sketches.  Design your own sketch and create a card based on it.

Here is my sketch.   

This pic is from Little Red Wagon-Challenge 6.  You were to be inspired by the photo.  I used a cuttlebug folder of the village (one of my fav christmas folder).  I embossed it on white wash green coordinations.  I sanded the houses a bit to show the green through, added glitter to the roofs and snowflakes, and added three little star jewel in the sky.  A bit of gold glitter around the edge.  I added the word 'Peace' on the bottom for 365 Cards-Day 285-A Certain Sentiment.  You were to use the word 'Peace' as the entire sentiment or as part of the sentiment.

Here is my card.
