I totally forgot!

I am so sorry I totally forgot to post a Manic Monday Challenge! I will post one later today…I am so sorry! I have a good excuse though…ok see I take care of the feral cats around my house and well I am trying to save a little 6 month old kitten. So today I brought her in and I just didn’t want to leave her side but now almost 9 hours later she is asleep in her cage! YEAH!!!!! Next week I am taking her to the vet for her 2nd round of shots and to be “fixed”. Ultimately she will be a inside/outside cat coming in on the occasional night or when it is too cold as we already have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bird, a bunny, and a tortoise…basically it is a zoo around here. Although I think she will be a mostly inside cat because she has taken to the inside so amazingly! Ok, nuff about that…I need to get some sleep as it is 1:30 am here! Goodnight!!!

A Request for Noah!

I have seen this around the net on various blogs, on Facebook, and in a couple of emails. I thought it would be fabulous if we could all take a few minutes this week and send this little boy a card. Please help us make this little boy’s last Christmas request.

“5yr old boy named Noah Biorkman , is in the last stages of a 2 1/2yr battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer.The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noahs request is to get lots of Christmas cards..Let’s get him some.

Please send cards to:

Thanks so much to those that send cards!! :=)

Not so productive today…

My creative mojo was gone today. I need to get cracking on these cards…my goal was to make at least a dozen by Monday! So far I have made NONE! UGH! Hopefully tomorrow my creative mojo will come out for a visit! :=)

Get Well Card Ideas

Welcome to Show & Tell Friday! Every Friday I will share with you what I am working on and I hope you will share with me what you are working on.

Right now I am working on get well cards for my Grandpa who went into a nursing home on Monday for some rehab and I want to make a bunch of cards for him as he LOVES my handmade cards. Well, I bought the Wild Card Cricut cartridge thinking the ideas would just flow from it…nope not really! Well, I was able to get out 2 birthday cards for my brother using the cartridge. My goal is to make at least a dozen cards this weekend and get them mailed Monday so my Grandpa’s wife can take him a card a day. If anyone has ANY ideas that would help me…please share them with me!

I will be sharing the cards that I make with you throughout the weekend. :=)

Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card that I made over the weekend using my Cricut and Gypsy along with the Wild Card and Beyond Birthdays cartridges. The card and argyle overlay were cut at 6″…I did a matching envelope as well but forgot to scan that. The phrase “happy birthday” was cut using the Gypsy and cut at 3 1/2″.
