Merry Monday Challenge Week #63

Hello & Happy Monday!

It's Monday and that means it's time for another sketch from Lesley from over at Always Playing With Paper.

This week's sketch is an easy one!

 I only have a bit of this holly paper left from the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP and a few of these felt holly leaves left so I thought i'd use them up and stop hoarding it. I have so much in paper & scraps that I just need to use.

My sentiment is from the Four the Season set. I added 2 red rhinestones and called my card done!

Merry Monday Week #63 Card:

Stamps: Four the Season

Ink: Wild Wasabi

Cardstock: Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Neenah White, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP

Accessories: Circle Punches, Felt Holly Berries, Red Rhinestones, 2 Sided Tape

Well, that's all for me today!

I know it's been awfully quiet here on the blog but my hubby has been home for almost a week now dealing with yet again, kidney stones! I haven't spent anytime downstairs creating since he's been home. It's been 7 days and he still has not passed the stone. All I can say is, it must be a doozey!

Also would like to say a very Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter, Kelsey. She turns 20 years old today!! We had a little family party for her on Saturday with cake & ice cream. It was a fun time!

We had a cookout/birthday party in the garage since it ended up being rainy & dreary out.

 Kelsey got icing smeared on her cheek from Berto and she's still smiling!

Happy Birthday, Binky!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!!

Merry Monday Week # 54 & Gigi Pics

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Since it's Monday that means it's time for another challenge from Lesley from over at Always Playing With Paper! This week it is a theme.....take a look!

I went with a very simple card this week and left my designer paper do all the talking!

I've been inspired by one of my Merry Monday DT girls, Sherry. She uses this My Mind's Eye designer paper and it always looks so fun & festive! Thanks Sherry for your inspiration!

I have a huge pad of this designer paper so I really need to start using it! It has glitter on it which makes it even more festive and I adore the prints! I made a 5 pack of these for my craft show which will start in November and the nice thing about this card is.....it's very flat and mail friendly!

Merry Monday Week #54 Card:

Stamps: Sentiment from Amuse, Inside- More Merry Messages (SU)

Ink: Lucky Limeade

Cardstock: Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla, My Mind's Eye DSP

Accessories: Circle Punches, Rhinestones, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, 2 Sided Tape

Hope you can stop by Lesley's blog to see what the other Merry Makers have created this week! Lots of cute "snowmen"! I also hope you can play along with us this week! It's nice having these cards made way in advance of the holiday season!

Well before I close for the day, I had a request for some pictures of the new little princess of the house, Gigi. So here you go!

Gigi & her Daddy...

Dominic & Gigi looking out the front door for Dom's Mom to come...

Such a cute picture!!

She is full of kisses!!

The 3 babies, Kelsey, Dominic & Gigi...

Priceless!

Kirsten & Kelsey with the 2 Jack Russell Puppies, Shady & Dawkins.

Those 2 puppies will lick your face clean....I kid you not! :)

We are expecting some snow/ice today so i'm going to be hitting up my stamp table today as I have a few projects that need to be finished up. Yesterday, we did not go to the movies, instead we went out for a nice quiet supper just the 2 of us. Kelsey is still under the weather...i'm thinking she has the flu! Time to break out the Clorox wipes & Lysol spray....because I don't think any of us want that! Hope she feels better soon!

Well, that's all for me folks!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the doggies in my life!

They are just the cutest!! :)
