Pink & Brown!

Pink and brown are 2 colors I wouldn't think about putting together but they certainly do look great together! I was inspired by this (the layout) card from a sketch challenge, but I can't remember who's blog I got it from? Sorry!

Sweet Pea

Sorry the image is crooked. I was too lazy to go back aqnd scan it again straight. Anyway, my nephew and his girlfriend are expecting a son in about 2 weeks. I figured I'd get a card ready to send when we get the call that the stork has landed! The stamped image was a $1.00 stamp from Michaels. The stars, heart and crown are grungeboard.
Thanks for looking!

RIP Mr Spooner

This is just a simple card I made for my Mom. She's been listening to me gripe alot lately about everything going on in my crazy life at the moment. It's just a quick note to make her smile!

RIP Mr. Spooner. Tony's uncle passed away yesterday. Whenever me and Tony went to St. Croix (Tony is from St. Croix) we always stayed with Auntie and Mr. Spooner. He was a great guy with a terrific sense of humor. Tony will be leaving on Wednesday to go home for a week.

OMG, I have no idea how I am going to survive without him for a week, with a dog ready to give birth and a sick father having to stay with us.......

Bella Mania

Loving my Bella stamps! I used Art Glitter Clear Adhesive Glue and fine glitter for Ms. Bella, her balloons and cupcake. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Say It With Stamps.
Again, Ms. Bella walking her pooches. Same materials as above. This is definitly not one of those instant gratification cards. If someone is impatient (ofcourse, not me, never) it could drive you crazy waiting for the glue to dry...waiting hours.....tick tock, tick tock........
The lamp is from Stamping Bella and the phrase is from Hambo stamps!

I am trying out my new scanner. It's a Lexmark, 3-n-1. It's a scanner, for me....a printer for Jaz school work.....I'm not sure I like it though....I don't think my scanned images are crisp....What do you think?!

Eye Candy

Bella, Bella, Bella.....hehehehehe

The above 3 cards are from a class I took this week at The Scrappy Stamper. Diane gave the course and the class was called Serendipity Tiles. They used cat eye inkers for these and I happen not to own any. It was fun to play with a different type of ink pad but I'm not sold on them. I think (for now) I'll be able to live another day without having to run out and purchase every single color I can find of the cat eyes!

Tulips

These are the beaudtiful tulips Tony got me for Valentines Day! Aren't they gorgeous?! They get longer and brighter each day!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy, Happy Valentines Day to all!! I hope everyone is having awonderful day filled with love! As for me, I am currently at work. Blah, blah....Me and Tony weren't able to make any plans for the night because unfortunaly, my father is in the hospital.
He went in last week to have his right kidney removed due to cancer. Well, my father not being the picture of health (he could actually be the poster board man for how to live an "unhealthy life style) came by many complications. Let's go down the list....he contracted MRSA, heart rate too high, blood pressure too low, not enough urine output, severe fluid shift form surgery (he's swollen like a balloon), and to top it all off he got a lung infection and was not receiving enough oxygen and basically lost his mind. Now, when I say he lost his mind, I mean HE LOST HIS MIND. He became initially child like. You had to keep repaeating things to him over and over. Then he decided he wanted to go home. Called me up and said bring his clothes he was ready to go home. Mind you, he's ICU. The he became completly non-compliant with the hospital. Then the hallucinations and the "conspiracy theories" about the secret experiments that were being done to him. He was compltly LOOPY. Eventually, the hospital had to reintubate him because he wouldn't leave his oxygen make on (that was another conspiracy). So, my father has been under heavy sedation for 3 days now while they try to clear up his lung infection so that he can get enough oxygen on his own so that he is not a complete mental case.
Now, I hate to say anything negative about the V.A. (Veterans Affairs) where my dad is being cared for BUT......that place is like a zoo!!! My father has been ion the hospital 3x in the past year and this is the second time he has contracted MRSA! That just seems unreal to me! I could go on and on about how I REALLY feel about the V.A. but I'll just leave it at that for now.
I wish I could post something today but I havn't downloaded any new pictures yet. Maybe tomorrow!!
I'm off! See ya!



UPDATE: Dad is ok now....back to his "normal" crazy self and will be released from hospital anyday now.
