NEW cards

I know I haven't posted in a while. Here are a few new cards I made. The first 2 are with a new hostess set from Stampin Up! called Wings of Friendship.
The next 2 cards were made with the set Thoughts & Prayers:

I've been busy playing nurse

HI Ladies,
I haven't been able to stamp much since Christmas. My mom came from Florida to visit us the 2nd week of December and after just a few days here she fell and broke her arm/wrist in 2 places. She had surgery the same night and had pins and a rod put in her arm. (I posted some pics below of her arm) She has been here with us in FRIGID north since then . We've enjoyed having her here to visit, but I know she ready to go home. She misses her independence. She has an appointment tomorrow with her orthopedic surgeon, please pray for her to have a full recovery, the Dr told us she may not have full range of motion in her wrist, get carpel tunnel, and arthritis. It is her right hand and she is right handed. We should be scheduling her next surgery tomorrow to have all the hardware removed. Please keep her in your prayers, her name is Linda.
She is also worried about her Tupperware business, she is Tupperware manager and has had to leave her downline to fend for themselves, a couple she recruited the week before she came here. Plus she hasn't been able to have any of her own sales. I told everyone I would list her website for my friends in case anyone is interested in ordering any Tupperware

Only Ovals Wedding Card

We are getting ready to go to Chicago for a wedding. One of my husband's former coworkers is getting married. The wedding isn't until tomorrow, but we thought we'd leave a day early and enjoy some time together. The kids are all going to stay with friends or family because they all had plans or birthday parties planned already. It should be a nice break for us both.

DH asked me to make a card for his friend, so here is what I made for the happy couple real quick this morning. Everything I used is from Stampin' UP!
Bella Rose DSP, Pretties Kit, Only Ovals stamp set, large oval punch, old olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Rose Red CS, Silver detail embossing powder, versamark pad, white mulberry paper and wide silver organdy ribbon(this ribbon and the mulberry paper are retired from SU)

It is really hard to read the words in the picture from the only oval image. It is much clearer in real person. It says "You tied the knot", and around the edges it says "To Live & Love Happily Ever After". I love the new large Oval punch, t is awesome! This card was extremely Quick and Easy to make.

Cupcakes!!!

Well, I am going to start posting regularly to my blog again. Here is a card I made for a friend, actually I made 40 of them. It was her daughter's 1st birthday and she had a cupcake theme party for her. So I made these for her as a gift. I used the Simple Birthday Thanks set #111546 from Stampin' Up! that is on sale until the end of October for only $14.36.

I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock and sponged it with Chocolate Chip ink. Then I embossed the whole thing with clear embossing powder. I added little pink crystal as the confetti on the cupcake. I used my 2 way glue from SU and added the chunky glitter.
I crimped the patterned paper so it would look like a cupcake/muffin paper. I tied the 1/4" grosgrain chocolate chip ribbon. The "thank you" is from the Short and Sweet stamp set. I also used the little cupcake from Short and Sweet as a background on the pretty in pink cardstock. I stamped the envelope with the cupcake from Stampin' Up's Crazy for Cupcakes set #111618, and colored it with Stampin' Up markers.

Valentine for my mom

Well time for my quarterly post to my blog, I don't even try to make excuses anymore as to why I don't ever post here like I should.
Today I am posting a Valentine for my mom.

My mom is the sweetest most loving woman I know. Now I know I'm suppose think that because she is my mom, but my friends all tell me that too, so I know it must true.

Well, she lives 1,000 miles away from me and she misses my children terribly. So the kids and I made her this Valentine. The and the kids picked out the ribbons and the papers they wanted.
