I used the Wrap it Up cart and a white gelly roll pen for the stitching.

MPS - NSD Challenge #1

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all had a great National Scrapbook day and a wonderful Mother's Day as well.  The next few posts that I do, will be for the National Scrapbook Day challenges that Robyn at My Pink Stamper had on Saturday.  I tried to keep up, but it was really hard with all the activities going on Saturday.  I had alot of fun with them.  I enjoy trying new things.  Thanks Robyn for all the hard work you put into NSD!  Here's Challenge #1- Use a cupcake in your project.

I used the Sweet Treats cart and MPS stamp set - Love-alicious.

Paper is from DCWV

Teacher Appreciation Clip Boards

I came across these little clip boards at the dollar store a while back and picked them up.  I knew they would be perfect for teacher appreciation week.  They were so easy to make.  I used modge podge to glue the paper down.  I added ribbon scraps to the clip part and a ribbon around the top seam of the paper.  Then I found some school buttons and put bakers twine through them and hot glued them on.  Very easy.  I also painted the backs of the boards, but you really wouldn't even have to do that.  I hope the teacher's enjoy them!

The little school house card came from the Wrap it Up cart.

Sending you Butterfly Kisses

I wanted to share this sweet card that I made for the wife of a coach at the kids school.  They were in a motorcycle accident and will be ok but have lots of rehab ahead of them.  We made them a goody basket to help through the boring days at the hospital.  Hopefully it cheered them up a bit.  Have a great day!

Spring has Sprung

We have been enjoying watching the robin that has made her nest on a planter on our back porch.  Every time we venture out into the backyard we are nearly attacked by a squawking Mama and Daddy bird.  They are so protective.  Our poor Australian shepherd Sarah gets the worst of it.  They actually dive down at her when she goes outside.  I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we have enjoyed the birds. Have a great day!

Here's our Mama bird, watching closely over her nest.

The nest was actually built last week- The last week in April.

Aren't they so pretty.  I took this on Monday May 2.  Thank goodness for zoom camera's!

And here's our Mama warming her eggs.  It was really chilly this morning.  This was taken on May 3.
