Two New Cards

Today I made two cards using Flower Soft Stamps Called Moments in time.  I stamped them both with Memento black ink on water color paper.  I then use Tim Holtz Distress Makers and colored them.  Then I added the flower soft.  Then I assembled the cards.  The base cards are from Micheal's and the paper is some scraps that I have had in stash for a very long time.  I do believe that the pink and cream paper is DCWV but not positive.  The Rickrack and lace are from my stash also.  The ribbon in the inside of the card  I got from Seema Khan in a give away.  The WOC flowers are also from a giveaway that I won on Srapbooking with ME on Facebook.  Thank you for taking the time to look at my new creations and please feel free to comment.  Hugs Donalda

Our 42nd Anniversary!!!!

Today my best friend and the love of my life have been married for 42 years.  We have had ups and downs but what marriage hasn't but I can honestly say that I love him more today than the day I married him.  We have been through thick and thin and I mean that literately if you go down and read some of my blog postings, for at one time I weighed a lot more than I do now.  LOL!!!!  He has been the greatest of help mate, he took in my mother and my grand father and they both lived with us until they passed and he gave me 3 wonderful sons.  All I can say is I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!!  Thanks for taking the time to share this with me.  Hugs Donalda

Wall Hanging

I made this wall hanging a while back but did not share it here.  I had a lot of fun making this and it was a little out of my comfort zone.  I took a piece of felt and covered it with lace from my stash used several vintage laces that I have gathered over the last year or so.  I made all the large flowers and the tags that are on it.  The hanger is a pants hanger that I covered in lace.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look and please feel free to leave a comment,  Hugs, Donalda

First Time Using Tim Holtz Distress Markers

So today I decided to get busy an make a card I had bought a few of Tim Holtz Distress Markers so I thought that I would take them out for a spin..  I didn't have any watercolor paper on hand so I thought that I would just use 110# cardstiock by Georgia Pacific.  Well it has issues but none that I couldn't live with.  I had this cute digital image by Sheri Baldy and printed it out and I started playing and this is the results.  I did make mistakes but like I said I can live with them.  The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts which I won on a facebook group call Scrapbooking with ME.  Everything else is things that I have in my stash.  Thanks for stopping by and taking  look.  Please leave a comment as I do read and appreciate them.  Hugs, Donalda

Handmade Flowers

Been making flowers got inspired by Diana (sparemarbles2012) on utube for her Fluffy Puffy Shabby Flower tutorial and thought that I would share them here as well.  Love making flowers don't know what I will do with all of them but I really do enjoy making them.  I have a hard time cutting into some of my material and lace because it's so pretty and when I use it up I may not be able to replace it but OMW I need to do something with it or it will just set here and rot.  And I sure can't take it with me and my kids sure won't want it so I guess I had better make flowers.   Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  Please leave a comment for I do read them and will try my very best to respond.  Hugs Donalda 

Look What I Got!!!

Last night we went to Walmart to get somethings for me to make Banana Nut Bread and as we were walking towards the back we passed the fresh flowers.  I said to my DH Oh aren't they pretty and I kept walking to get the things that I needed.  My DH isn't keeping up with me and then about 5 minuets later here he comes and puts these beautiful flowers in our basket.  I said what are these for and DH  smiled and said just because I love you......  I think he's a keeper don't you....  Hope you are having a good day.
Hugs Donalda
