Happy Birthday Cheryl!

This is the card I mailed to my friend, Cheryl, whose birthday was on Wed 11/14.  I hope she likes it!  I love the fun colors and butterflies. 

Papa's b-day was Wed, too, but his card  was the same one I made in class a while back and have given different versions of to various men in my life.

Supplies:
sets- petite pairs, papillion potpourri
colors - calypso coral, pool party, whisper white
punches - 1-1/4" circle, scallop circle, scallop border
other - ic ruffled gg ribbon, green glue, sticky strip, and snail* of course. 

*I usually use snail, whether I list it or not.

Happy 16th Birthday Chris!

colors - vanilla, artichoke, espresso

Simple Masculine Card using button I found in the Wash!

What's your wish?

My son, Chris, turned 16 on Monday.  Today he takes his driving test to get his license! Am I really that old?  The insurance rates will go up!  My license was suspended last month due to the progression of my MS so I'm glad he'll be driving.  I got evaluated for adaptive hand controls and hopefully I'll be driving again soon!

Happy Halloween from Pat

Pat Schulte

Pat gave me this adorable Halloween card.  The paper, Wicked Cool, is retired but is available on the Clearance rack while supplies last.  I liked the envelope she made (using our wonderful Simply Scored tool and diagonal plate) so much that I purchased some of the Wicked Cool dsp myself!  The stamp set, Googly Ghouls, and the googly eyes are available in the Holiday seasonal catalog.  Thanks again Pat!

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Thank You Coach Molly and Ref Nancy!

Ray finished his rec league soccer season and we had our end of the season party at Fuddruckers last night.  I had an Elk burger and it was pretty good!  Coach Molly supplied an incredible cake ~ yumm.  I didn't bring a camera so I don't have photos of that.

Thanks to all the parents who made donations to Molly's thank you gift.  A few players weren't able to make it, so I'm posting these pictures so they can see what we gave her.  We had enough donations to also thank Nancy, our super dedicated ref. 

All the players got a surprise!  Jonathan's mom took photos at the games all season.  She made a three page layout for each player with the photos she took and titled them "Go Cuties!"  They were great and the boys all seemed to enjoy them.
