Creative Card Crew 1,2 &3 Challenge and Robyn's Fetish Sponsor


For my Creative Card Crew card, I used 1 sentiment, 2 flowers, and 3 clusters of greenery.  My image is one of the wonderful digitals with Robyn's Fetish.  After printing out my flower on watercolor paper, I watercolored it using my ink intense colored pencils.  I wanted some more depth to the flower without adding another layer so I added crystal lacquer.  My sentiment is from SU, and greenery in layers of 3 were punched out with one of my  MS punches.  Cardstock is by Graphic 45.

Now for the new challenge..... Easy as 1 - 2 - 3

Your 1 - 2- 3 can be anything, as long as you have 1 of something, 2 of something, and 3 of something. Please list them in your post, so that they are easy for us to find!

We are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish. Some lucky winner will receive 5 fabulous digi images from them.

Creative Card Crew SONG INSPIRED


For my Challenge card for this fornight I used Graphic 45's beautiful cardstock that I companioned with a very pretty blue metallic cardstock that a friend of mine gave me.  This is a very simple and basic CAS card.  So easy to do yet simply beautifully vintage with those pretty roses. Graphic 45 cardstock is available at Simon Says Stamp!  For the challenge I went with the song "THE WAY WE WERE".  These were fashions from my mom's and grandma's era.  I remember going to church with them and ladies ALWAYS wore their hats! 

This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. The best place ever, to met all of your crafting "needs."

Simon Says Stamp

Ian Graduation


I thought that I would share with everyone why I haven't been online quite as much lately
Whew!!!! Graduation is over!  Between all of the final details and parties I have been exhausted!  I am so glad that everything went well and Ian is officially a college student now!
This is one of my favorite pics of my  son Ian and his 3 cousins.  They all grew up together and for the next 5 years we will have a graduation every year. (there are 2 other cousins in the group that aren't in this picture) Ian is going on to college in the fall and is planning on a career in Criminal Justice.
