Thinking Of You Friend

Good Day Friends,

I would like to say “Thinking Of You Friend”

That is what my card is about today, thinking of you!

Hope you like it.

I love the color of Pool Party. This is a new single stamp that I just had to have. There are so many ideas for it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy

"You Are My Sunshine"

Hello Friends,

WOW, does life get busy!

In any event, I joined a group called Secret Sisters. Doesn’t that sound like fun? It is a group of ladies where there is an organizer who joins different ladies to be a Secret Sister. So I have a lady, whom I cannot mention, that I send a couple of creations a month. When signing up for this, I and each member are to make one full card and one card front a month and send it off. The lady I have as far as I know, doesn’t have me. I think the organizer tries to set it up that way. I hope to post some fabulous cards and card front that she makes me as a THANK YOU to her. Hopefully she will be watching. However, at the same time, I have to be careful what I post here. I don’t want to give any clues to my Secret Sister. This is a year commitment so I’m not supposed to dwell who my Secret Sister is and I hope that my Secret Sister plays it safe too. I’ll post pictures in another blog entry.

With that all being said, I received my beautiful order from the new Spring Catalogue and started to have some fun.

Here is my card!

For those of you who know me, I have five children so this card has a lot of meaning. For starters, ever since each of my children was in my womb, I sang to them, You Are My Sunshine! And, Stampin’ Up! came up with a single stamp that says exactly that! Secondly, you can see the five butterflies, each one represents my kids. Three pink for my three girls and two pool party to represent my two boys! The bike and background just add that extra springiness to this card.

Well, I hope you like it and THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by!

Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy

Welcome Back - Happy Birthday Son

Hello Friends,

 

WOW, how time flies by! Hope everyone had a great Christmas break! We had a great Christmas holiday. We even did some winter camping! Ya, I know, crazy…..not really…we do have our trailer out at the camp site, however, there are cabins there as well. We booked the cabin. It was nice to have the bathroom close by instead of walking in the cold dark to the out building where the bathroom is located.

 

Anyways, I couldn’t post for a while as it was pretty busy here. Not only Christmas and camping, we just celebrated my son’s 11^th birthday. That’s what I’m going to share with you today. The card I made for him.

 

 

 

Hope you like it as much as he did!

Thanks for stopping by! Don’t forget to stop and check out the promotions….a lot is happening…fun fun fun!

Smiles & Blessings,

Tammy

FOREVER MINE Framed Wall Art - Merry Christmas!

Hello Friends,

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR in 2013!

 

I thought I would share with you a gift I made my Mom for her birthday which is Dec. 22. Between my sister and I we have 8 kids. I have 5 and she has 3. As far as I know we are both done….

 

So, I made this wall hanging that says “FOREVER MINE” for my Mom. It has each grandchild’s name on it.

 

We live about 2 hours apart but when she came for a visit to see my kids at their Christmas Concert, we gave her this gift. She really liked it. Now all she has to do is find a place where she can show it off. My guess is in her office….where everyone can see it.

 

What do you think? I couldn't put it in the actual frame as there was too much of a glare when taking the picture. In the black frame, it just pops out!

 

Here is her birthday card that went along with it.

 

I probably won’t post too much until the New Year as this is a precious time with family. So, in saying that, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Wishing you all well and happiness through the holiday season. May each one of you and your families be blessed abundantly and have a grand and safe time.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles & Blessings,

Tammy

WHO LOVES CAMPING?!!

Good Day Friends,

WHO LIKES CAMPING??

We love camping! We love it so much that we winter camp….I know crazy eh?...

We are members to this wonderful campground called Wilderness Village in Alberta, Canada. We love spending our summers there.

I made this card keeping that place in mind. The stamp set is called ‘The Great Outdoors”.

SSHHHHH! Don’t tell anyone but there is a gift card inside for a two night stay with us at this campground. (2 pools, 3 hot tubs, petting zoo, playground, fun shack, store, wagon rides, ice cream, ATV trails…BUT most of all US!)

I’m looking forward to making more with this stamp set as there are a few other stamps in this set I have yet to try. Like the tent, roasting a wiener, ant, flashlight, cooking pot and a lantern.

Have a fantastic day!

Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy

NO PEEKING!

Hello Friends,

It’s the weekend again. It seems the days go by faster and faster….lol…must be the age thing…

Anyways, I always seem to find time to do a few cards.

This is my first go around with NO PEEKING stamp set.

What do you think?

Here I thought I was almost complete in doing my Christmas cards….I guess not. But that’s okay because I love doing them. Today I mailed 63 Christmas cards…and still counting!

Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy
