I know I'm one day late but I wanted to wish all of you who visit me a Happy spring. Just think warmer weather is on it's way for those of us who have been in the deep freeze. That is a happy thought. :)
I had a very busy week and weekend. So I did not get to do the crafting that I wanted to. I did make a card for thePPA 85- Sketch Challenge. Although my card was not made from card-stock,ink and stamps it is still a card and I made it using the MDS program from Stampin'UP! I can either print it out using my home printer or have it printed for me. Either way I love the result. I hope you like it.
Here is my card.
I was also able to participate in a page challenge at Soul Scrappers this week. I made a recipe page and have decided that for Christmas this year I will be making a book of recipes for the girls in our family. I am going to ask each of our daughters what their favorite recipes are and also include a photo of them. I think they will get a big kick out of it!
The photo that I used for this page has been posted on my blog. I still have this drink every day! It is so good and so good for me. :) I used the MDS program to make my recipe page and the word art is made by me.
If you would like to use the word art for a page or for a photo you can download it from here at 4shared.
I have 3 personal photos that I would like to share with you. Wayne took hundreds of photos of me all weekend so that I could document my special birthday. I wish I had more time to re-size and touch up more photos to share but time sure did fly by this past week amd weekend. And besides, how many photos do you want to see of mostly just me. :)
This was taken before Wayne put a few candles on my cake. The cake was too small to put all of the candles that should have been put on it. :) I have a photo of me blowing them out as well but did not resize it it yet.
Wayne really spoiled me this year. As one of my gifts he gave me the IPad generation 2. Here I am holding the box.
My daughter and Molly came to see me today. Jennifer gave me a beautiful Pandora charm for my bracelet and I love it. Darcy was sick today and was not able to visit.
Here I am with Molly and Jen. becuase I kept getting a glare on my glasses I had to pose the way that I did in this photo. And because JenandMolly found that funny they asked if they could each borrow a pair of my glasses.
So here we are all wearing glasses. The girls had a good time with it so why not right? So there are a few photos form my birthday weekend. I hope you had fun looking at them.
I hope that you all had as wonderful a weekend as Idid. I also hope that you have a fantatsic week. Thanks so much for wishing me a Happy birthday in last weeks commenst. It sure did mean a great deal to me. I will be back when I have more to share with you. In the mean time remember to stay safe, stay warm and smile everychance that you get. Smile. :) Oh and thanks so much for stopping by.
Absolutely love that card! The papers are so femine. I don't have that stamp but I've seen so many great cards using it.
And how nice your husband took so many pictures for your birthday! With the digital cameras now I'm taking pictures all the time. :)
