Tweeting By...

Hello!

I was so excited to get home to my family after being away for two days.

Snickers has gone to the kennel as we are going out of town for the long weekend and it's weird not to have her hangin' with me when I stamped....lol

I created this card using the MFT sketch #78 and a cute PI called You're So Tweet.

A Friend is Like a Rainbow

Good Morning

Today my mom and dad will begin their journey home.
It's been a wonderful visit and I'm so glad they were able to come out and visit us.
We had many laughs together :)

I'm on my way to Cranbrook for a couple of days and really hope we don't run into any downpours. The weather has been HORRIBLE here the entire month of June.

This is a card I made using the Paper Players Sketch #101 challenge.
I have used some MFT dies and The Great Outdoors sentiment set.

Life Is Sweet

Good Monday Morning!

I'm REALLY looking forward to this short work week BUT it's going to be a busy one for me.

Today I'm taking Snickers for her follow up vet app't to see if she needs to be on her meds a little longer(my opinion is yes).

My parent's will be starting their drive back to Ontario on Wednesday morning when I leave for Cranbrook.
I'll be out of town until Thursday evening.
Friday we are heading south for a little R & R as it's our Canada Day Long Weekend and school is out! YEAH!

I do hope to get a little stamping in between now and then though :)

This was another card I created using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #161.

The Sky's The Limit

Good Morning!

Well I survived the dentist yesterday!
It didn't go as smoothly as planned but in the end my broken tooth was fixed and a wisdom tooth is out....ouchie!
Actually it's only this morning that I'm noticing some pain and swelling but it's all good :)
Thanks to those who emailed or sent me messages!

Thursday evening I was able to find a little stamping time and created this card for Jen's Deconstructed Sketch #57.
I used a MFT stamp and dienamics.

Smile, everything is going to be okay :)

Hello!

Looks like my week is going to be cut short.
Yesterday I broke a tooth and it's below the gum line.
That means surgery....8 am tomorrow.
So not looking forward to it :(
I'm sort of a chicken....lol
Hoping it heals quickly and doesn't interfere with my parent's remaining few days with us.
This card below was created using up some scraps on Sunday morning.
Stamps and dies are from MFT.

You're the Key to Succes

Good Morning!

Half way through the work week.....ahhhhhhh!

Yesterday the weather was hit and miss for the golf tournament and luckily the rain/hail held out until the last hour or so. Those last few golfers seemed to take their sweet time let me tell ya! 
In the end it turned out to be a successful charity event!

Today it's back to work. Darn.

I almost forgot to post my card that I made for last week's MFT sketch!
There will be a new one posted this week now. Better play catch up!

Give It a Whirl!

Long time no see!

Today was the first time I have stamped in a week! Wow!
Unless I'm away on vacation I always stamp during the week.
BUT
this week was different as my parents are here visiting.
Today though my Mom came down to the basement and kept me company while making a couple of cards.

This was one of them....

Last year I only played with this MFT Pinwheel dienamics I think once which was a shame :(
I've used some older SU! dsp called Big Top.
