Seleha's 3rd Birthday card

Kathy's BD card 2019 and Marc's Papa's day card

A few more pics

This was Christopher's birthday card. It is a little box with the four square boxes inside. When the flat box is slid open the other boxes pop out.

This is a twist pop card. When opened the card opens up as above.

I did not get a picture of the tealight on behind this.

Catching up on some cards

I haven't posted anything on here for a very long time so I am going to try to add a few cards I have made.

Alex says I'm his life

Alex is such a little sweetheart and this is a memory I hope I have forever! He loves to argue and is always hugging me and telling Marc " she's my Nana" and Marc will say "no she's mine". A week or so ago they were doing that and Marc said "she's my wife" and Alex said "no, she's my life"! I told Marc that Alex had won that one and he couldn't top it with any saying. Alex is always saying you're my life Nana or he will ask me "are you my life?" And my answer is yes I am!

Donnie's BD card, Shirley's card template

https://shirleystemplates.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/freebie-lattice-window-card-and-some.html

My brother Donnie lives on a farm and this is a file I have had for a long time and not sure where I got the image from.  It is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used the above lattice file from Shirley's Cards for the window. I just sized it to fit around my picture and sized my paper to a 5x7 size.

Seleha loves cabbage and St. Patrick's day food

I watched Seleha today and she is such a funny little thing! I loved it, she is so happy and so loving. She is giving kisses and jabbering about everything and she plays so well, just put her on the floor with some toys and she is good for a long time.  I cooked corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes for supper tonight and she was wanting our food even though I had just fed her baby food so I gave her a taste. I wanted to see what she would do with cooked cabbage because I really never liked it at all until a couple of years ago and definitely would not touch it when I was a kid, she loved it! She kept making the little umm sounds and wanting more but I was afraid to give her very much because I didn't want her to have a tummy ache. She also loves the potatoes and beef, I think she enjoyed her first St. Patrick's Day. I wish I had gotten a picture of it. She is 9 months old and is a tiny little sweetie. I am so thankful for her and all my great grandkids, grandkids, and kids! They are my blessings!!

My first light up card

This is my first attempt at a light-up card. It was an adventure! Kade is 6 so I hope he will like it.

Shanna's BD card for 2016

Shanna's BD card. The doily surround is from Birds Cards, Dopey is a print and cut, and the sentiment is computer generated.

Steph's BD card 2016

This is a card for Steph's birthday.  The image is from Squigglefly and the frame is a cut file from the Silhouette Store that I morphed into an easel card for the background in blue and then cut completely for the top and inside decoration.

Sierra's BD card

This is Sierra's birthday card.  The mermaid image and the background are from Misskatecuttables.com.  The background is from various files pulled together to make the picture.  Sierra loves mermaids and is always wanting something with mermaids. This is a shaker card, the "sand" is sugar beads and there are a few gems inside that was bought at Hobby Lobby along with the flowers and dolphins on the corners.

Christopher's BD card

This is the card I made for Chris this year. These pictures are from Misskatescuttables.com. I cut the mummy out and pop dotted on front of the card. My husband Marc worked in the lab at the hospital and therefore the "Drac" on the inside.  The house is really supposed to be darker but the printer is going haywire but I just left the picture as it was.

My First and second pop up Christmas Cards, Lori Whitlock file from Silhouette Store

First card

second card

The first card is one that I cut and assembled and could not file Lori's directions so I just did it the best I could, the second card is after Lori was sweet enough to get back with me and give me links to a YouTube video which showed how to assemble it.  This just goes to show that Lori's files are so easy to work with that anyone can put them together and if you should have difficulties she is great to respond to questions! I used all the design pieces from the file but changed the sentiment.  The stars on the first one are sparkled with Sakura Clear Star pen and the second one is sparkled with Stardust Stickles. I would put a link on here but at this time the Silhouette Store says the page is not available.

All the wildfires in Gatlinburg and surrounding area

This has been such a scary day for people who live, work, or are visiting the Gatlinburg area.  There are fires that seem to be coming from all directions and the spur connecting Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is on fire also!  Gatlinburg has been evacuated as well as parts of Pigeon Forge. Please say prayers for all the people who are affected and all the helpers who have come in to help fight these fires.  Arrowmont was on fire at the last news cast I saw and they said there was 30 businesses on fire. It is just something we don't experience in this area and no one really knows what to do or how to respond other than pray and try to stay out of the way.  It is very smoky and smells like wood smoke here in Kodak but no fires that I know of. If any of you can get WATE TV news or WBIR to see a little of this and if you have ever visited Gatlinburg it is a sickening sight. I am sure it will be on national news since it is so huge. My heart just goes out to all the people who have lost homes and a lifetime of memories and things that are irreplaceable, but the important thing is to remember that being alive and having your family safe is the most important thing possible - so just give your love ones a big hug and thank GOD you have them to hug!!

Halloween Birthday

This is my son's birthday as well as halloween. I really don't "celebrate" halloween as far as going all out for it but I have always taken the kids and grandkids trick or treating. I have to say that Christopher was my best treat I have received for halloween, he was due on Thanksgiving but made his appearance a little early, I still had a week to work and had to call in on that Monday morning to let them know I would not be coming to work that day! Happy Birthday Christopher and I love you bunches!!

Seleha at 3 months

The top picture is Seleha, her mother Amiti, her "Lovey" (Amiti's mom) Stephanie, and Ina her great great grandmother.  The bottom picture is Seleha at 3 months. She is a very happy baby and is doing great.
