CATCH UP CARD DAY and PICTURES FROM THE ZOO

Welcome~Thank you for stopping by.

I have so much to say and so many little card creations to share.  Where do I begin?   I suppose first up should be the one I posted on my facebook page.   This card I used a mix of Stampin up stamps and Lawn Fawn.  I did the embossing first with clear powder and then after the image was heat set, I sponged around it, when I got the desired look I wiped off the flowers that were embossed and they stayed white.  It was the first time with this technique for me, and I really like how it turned out.  I made this card for my mom who had to have her toe amputated last Thursday, due to Kidney failure and diabetes.  Please pray for a speedy complete healing for her.  Thank you.  I also made for my mom this next little project which happens to be one of her favorite verses.  I was suppose to post it on Sunday for my SCS (Scripture Card Sunday)  but I had a full house, which was a beautiful blessing.  Our son and his girlfriend came home to help move our daughter and her boyfriend. It was a day filled with laughs, love, and memories.  So onto the project here it is the kleenex box card.

I think it turned out super.  I used stampin up stamps  and inks for the background I then put the verse right on top.

This little card holds the personal sized kleenex well.  However I get the cheap dollar store kleenex brand and they open up on the ends so I just added one tissue to the top to make it look like it pops up.

I see a few of these in the future when winter rolls around (ugh, not a fan of winter)  I can pass kleenex out in style.

Even with my husband on vacation this past week, I was able to make a few cards/projects.  We had a "stay-cation"  there is so much to do around our old house and being I can't help as much his honey do list was long.  I had my hands full just trying to keep dinner and supper on the table for the crew of kiddos, but it was wonderful.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the chocolate/caramel pie I made.  It actually turned out and was delicious. 
  This purple flower card just came together so easily, using the stamping up products through out the whole thing.  I really like the crisp clean lines.  

 My last card I used versa mark ink and didn't emboss with it.  I think it turned out amazing.  I'm just learning all the different inks and techniques.  I youtube things I don't understand and that helps me out. 
One of the things on my hubby's  "honey do list"  was to take me to the zoo.  I haven't been since  my surgery and injections went bad.  I felt like I was strong enough to try it, even taking my trekking poles it was difficult, but it was worth it.  I feel like it was a mile stone in my recovery as to say that: this is  my life now and I can manage it ok.  I have a few pictures to share with you.  I hope you will like them. The zoo was just the right size for me to get around.  I even got to feed the sheep.  ( I'm a kid at heart) 

 Hope you enjoyed your visit here and that you will stop back again real soon.  Please also like my facebook page at:  Pj's Projects it will help me get the word out about my blog.

I also want to mention, I received a new badge for my blog.  Please check it out.  My heart is so happy and so grateful for being picked.
