This is another layout I did using the new Jenni Bowlin line of products!! I just love all this stuff. I'm sure having fun creating and the mini bingo cards are a favorite of mine!!Our little Mia always takes the best photo's! I have so many of her playing in the snow up at Lake Tahoe in January. I talked to Michael last night and he said Mia has a double ear infection right now. She's on med's and he said she's getting better. This 'ole gramma knew something was wrong last weekend when I had her. She kept tugging on her ear!! No one listens to gram!!!
Here's one I just finished for 3 different challenges over at Scrapbook.com. We were to use the second design from February's Pagemaps for the "Pagemaps" Challenge and for the "Got To Love Those Flowers" Challenge we were to use flowers in the colors of red, black or white and for the "Rub It In" challenge we were to use rub-ons. I used butterflies and birds on a branch.
These are photo's Jacob and Nga took of themselves when they went to San Diego in September.
I used the new Jenni Bowlin line of products. I treated myself to a bunch of them and just received my order in the mail on Friday!! I love seeing that UPS truck!!!
Today would have been my dad's 81st birthday. He passed away in October of 1987. He was only 59 years old. Thats way too darned young to die. I have missed him so, so much over the years. I have wonderful memories of my dad that I have tucked away in my heart. Thank goodness for our memories! I love and miss ya bunches dad! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I've been on a challenge roll this weekend. Here's another one for 2 challenges over at Scrapbook.com. I used a Beggahuna sketch for this layout. Her sketches are awesome. This was actually the first time I ever used a sketch. I also entered this layout in the Bling challenge. I used my Christmas Cheer Cricut cardridge to make the snowman. He's sure a cute little guy!! I decided to scrap some of the older kids in the family this time!!! These photo's are from our trip to Tahoe in January. We had a marvelous time!
I just finished this layout for another challenge over at Scrapbook.com. My critique group friend Karen is hosting this challenge for February. We were to scrap our sweetheart or someone we love.....well, Lisa and Dominick are both my "SWEETHEARTS" and I love them dearly!!! (plus I know she has been checking out my blog and wandering to herself....Why another Mia layout!!! Right, Little Lee???? Love ya bunches, mom!!
I created this layout for Kim's February Color Challenge over at Scrapbook.com. This month she wanted us to use the colors BROWN, GREEN & FUCHSIA!!
While I was home on my morning break from work I decided to create another card. This time I used Prima's First Blush Collection. I love this paper. It is so, so pretty! I just love this bird. I've got one left. I must make it back to Michael's and pick up some more before they sell out. Actually, I think I could just make my own. Maybe I will try making some this weekend! Well, its time for me to head back to work. 
These are layouts that I did some time ago....before blog!! Today I was thinking it would be fun to share some layouts with hearts! After all its almost Valentine's Day!
I just finished up another couple of cards. I've been in a card making mood the past few days. I've been thinking about trying to sell some of these in my etsy shop. I think all of the cards that I had in my shop have expired and my shop is empty!! I guess I should go check it out...hehehe!

Okay girls...... please accept your award and pass it along to 5 others!
I was able to complete two more cards today. One birthday and one for some friends who just got married. I thought I was going to be home all alone today making cards, but Michael, Sally and the kids stopped by for a visit and after they left......Steve, Lisa and the kids came over and made dinner for me!! Lisa made sloppy-joes and they were so, so good! We also got in a game of cards.....I WON!!
I got up this morning and decided I would make cards for my friends and family that have birthdays in February. Gee.......I usually wait until the day of the birthday and run around trying to get a card made and in the mail to the birthday person. And they always receive it late. This year I have pledged to myself to get cards made ahead of time. So far, so good!! But, its still January!!! So.....here's my first card for February!
This is another layout for Jake & Nga's San Diego album. I guess this place has fantastic burgers!! They look a little too big to me!
I did these layouts some time ago. I just love doing layouts of Lisa's doggie!
I just returned from an awesome stay up at Lake Tahoe for 3 days. Steve and Lisa rented a huge house and invited the whole family to join them. We had a fabulous time! The snow was gorgeous. The kids had a blast skiing and snowboarding at Homewood. There were 16 of us, so we did a lot of cooking, but we all took turns in the kitchen and everyone helped with clean up! We played a lot of cards, which is always a favorite of mine. The babies, Dominick and Mia were great! We couldn't have asked for better kidlets. When we arrived at the house I got really concerned about the stairs, as the main living space was upstairs, I kind of freaked about Mia falling.....but, I spied the coffee table, so we flipped it on its side and placed it in front of the stair well and it worked perfect!! The adults and big kids could just step over it and Mia was blocked in!! And so therefore gramma could relax!! I did keep my eye on it very closely, just in case!!! I will post a slideshow in the next few days, but for now, here are a few pic's!
This is the ATC (artist trading card) that I made for the girls in my critique group. We are doing a Valentine Swap. We could make cards, tags, ATC's, or bookmarks. I just love making ATC's.
I made this tag for all the members of my critique group over at sb.com last year. (I didn't have a blog last year, so I'm sharing them now...hehehe) I attached a magnet to the back of each one. Mine is still hanging on my fridge! This year I'm making ATC's for all the girls who are participating in the swap. I started them last night and so far I really like 'em!!
