MPS MAY DESIGN TEAM PROJECT

time goes fast when having fun!

it is time for another MPS design team project

this coming month is Father's Day and the team has some awesome projects 

to get your creativity floating...wink :)...

using some of my pink stamper latest releases.

I am using the "spectacular sayings" set for my card.

Dad, you're one of a kind!

4.25" x 5.5"

i used "pack your bags" cricut cartridge for the family. this image was cut at 4.25 using all its layers.

DAD, is from don juan and "you're one of a kind" from "spectacular sayings", one of my pink stamper's latest releases.

i stamped the eyes, noses and eyebrows with a stamp from my stash. i colored in the cheeks with chalk.

the sun was also stamped.

i think this one turned out so cute and i bet my team mates projects are even better. this is a very talented group my pink stamper has in her design team. so hurry if you haven't been there yet, for tons of inspiration.

love you all!

Daily Life: my son made it to the top 20 of his class with high honors all through his school life. he was elected student of the year and he received various awards. saturday was his prom night and his grad will be the 9th. we are so happy for him and i wanted to tell the world about it. i also would like you to join me in wishing him the best in all his future endeavors. it is a tough journey but with God blessings on his side, he can do it.

my husband diabetes still high: almost 300 but he did go to our family doctor and all his diabetes meds were increased. he needs to go back in three weeks and then in july he will go to an endocrinologist.

i am doing "ok" and keep going--- :)

i also want to take the time to thank God for keeping him safe and praise him in all his glory. Amen!

FREEDOM ROCKS

thanks to the rain i had another chance to make use of my supplies, lol

Freedom Rocks

8 inches tall

the above phrase is from my pink stamper new release called 

"freedom rocks" hehe-- i am hooked on this one lately.

i made a banner single. i saw something similar on a blog or etsy--i can't remember, but i know it was much better than this one i just made :P

the uncle sam's hat is from stand and salute.

 the white border is a ms paper punch. the bird is a fiskars one and the scalloped accordion flower i made.

enjoy!

WITH SYMPATHY CARD

hello to all

:)

i am back but still not settled yet. i do apologize for not being around but you must know family will always come first, especially here at my household. plus, i have been in so much pain from trying to do the extra bit--  :(

anyhow, i had to work on something before i go nuts, lol and i made this sympathy card and i also made a super easy and pretty (i believe) gift card holder i needed. 

i then had to buy one because i forgot it at home--grr!

first,

With Sympathy

 4.25" x 5.5"

 purple is a very hard color to photograph especially if you do not have good lighting. a friend told me she photographs hers with low lighting but it did not work for me. i googled it and it says to use the "white balance" in your camera. this is what i used to avoid the bluish color i always get. it is not perfect but is better. i still have to work on it. i have a cannon ps s2. it is an old camera but it has been very good to me except with the "color purple", lol.

the image is from cindy loo cut at 4.25" high and all its layers.

the sentiment is from one of the latest releases of my pink stamper clear stamp set called spectacular sayings. i heat embossed it. i still have to work on my heat embossing too :P--- but this font is so pretty tough. ;p

i made this yellow crinkled ribbon out of a strip of yellow cardstock. it looks like fabric, right? :) and it does in real life too--hehe. loving it!!!!!

i did not have any yellow ribbon left so i decided to improvise. i wet it and crunched it and dried it with the heat tool, then i glue-gunned it on the back to keep the pleats. so easy a cave woman (me) can do it, lol.

  

the mini butterfly is a sticker from my stash.

---remember you can click on the pics for a larger view---

now, this is the gift card/money holder card. the other "super easy" project that i forgot at home. :) i told the bride i will mail it but do not expect more money--hehe--because the money went in the other one already, lol.

the inside is just the holder that i paper punched it.

the envelope i made from a 12x12 sheet of vellum using one of the envelopes from the wild card cart--for the adhesive i used a 1/8th wide scor-tape i have. it worked good. you still can see it through but it does not look bad.

well, hope you get some ideas with these projects.

and i hope to come back soon....in the meantime, know i still love you all and please forgive me for not visiting your blogs lately. i am hoping all will settle/come down after graduation and the move to college.

i am also dealing with my husband diabetes being totally out of control: 400+

no more pity party---i really hate it!!!!--but i feel you guys need to know why i am not around---i have a lot on my plate and because this stupid pain never goes away--it is really hard for me to even try to balance it all. i just can't.

see you later and

BIG HUGS to all----!!!!!!!

the mushrooms you will find on page 57----cut them at 3.25".  

the butterfly is from the same page and was cut at one inch.

this frame is from sizzix and the awesome greeting is from mps. 

i love this font.

oh! the dry embossing was done with the script texture folder from cuttlebug.

a bit of inking, a bit of bling.

something a bit different but not bad at all :P. 

I hope you guys are doing well.
