another flower note card

Pretty much the same supply list as yesterday!

create a garden set 2

I used up every single thank you card and note card that I had in my stash. I love using the create a garden set 2 from rubbernecker because no two cards ever come out the exact same. I worked on a few more note cards last night because I still need to send out a few thank you notes.

I used momento inks, some copics coloring on the pot, bee and butterfly, stickles, glossy accents and added after I took the picture jelly roll clear star.

This morning I have a union presidents brunch...Not a fan of this on Sunday especially because it will cause me to miss church. Then it is opening game for the Eagles!!!!!

Tomorrow I hit the ground running and start testing all the new registrations for kindergarten... I have like 39 to get done ASAP.... Keeping busy now is good so I look forward to it.

xmas card

Card was inspired from My Creative Time with Emma blog and stamp set.

time to regroup

Well my brothers services were yesterday. I took an extra day off from work today to regroup all my emotions. I think I will try to get back in my craft room. That always centers my world.

Saying goodbye

I took this picture of my brother on Easter of this year... I remember he was sitting on my moms steps talking to my brother Fred.. We took James Michael to the hospital really ill on August 17th. We learned over the next week that he was in liver failure.... then they thought liver cancer maybe a transplant or chemo to more tests that revealed he had advanced aggressive pancreas cancer that had spread throughout his body. We brought him home from the hospital on Monday the 27th because that is what he wanted. He passed peacefully today with our 91 year old mother at his side. I'm thankful that he passed quickly and wasn't in pain. He was 62 and a kind gently soul who was the one who took care of all my moms paperwork and planned all out outings to Cape May.

busy, busy

I will update things when I can in the coming days/weeks. School is starting and my brother came home on hospice yesterday so I figure I am pretty much going to be there helping when I am not working for a while. Its been a whirlwind week since he went to the hospital sick. Kinda hard to wrap your head around it all happening so fast.

pinterest inspired card

I have made a few of these in several color combo's. I saw it on pinterest and just loved it. I do not know the originator of the design. I'm not feeling particularly original right now but need to craft. I cut the squares on the cricut at 1.25, then used the creative memories 1" and 3/4" for the circles. The cake stamp is from MCT all around birthday but I was careful not to ink the candle on top because it wouldn't fit in the circle. I colored with copic's and spectrum noir. The circles  are popped out but you can't really see that in this photo.
