Happy Easter

Happy Easter! I still remember wearing a special outfit, getting my hair done and the family dinners. One of my favorite memories was taking pictures. My dad was a professional photographer and for many years, he would take pictures of me in my outfit. It was like a mini photo shoot. Sometimes we would even go on location - like the neighbors yard. (See that is why I should of become a professional model. He gave me some great training. LOL! ) Then, to prolong the holiday I loved wearing my fancy hairdo and new clothes to school the next day. This was one of the best holidays plus all the vacation time, too. So fun!

In celebration of Easter here are a few cards I made for my mother-in-law. My husband wrote a poem which was included inside the card. So together we created a lovely card.

Used green and white cardstocks, purple glitter cardstock, patterned paper by Best Creation Inc, green ribbon, and lavenderr flower. Card size is 6x6.


Used my Spellbinder to create the sentiment shape. Love that machine!


Poem written by Ron Roberts,  my hubby. Great job, Honey!




Hope you enjoyed my little stroll down memory lane and these cards. Happy Easter to all of you. Enjoy your day!

Soul Sistah Painting

I love trying new things in art. It is like an adventure and a hearty challenge. So after I saw this picture of the soul singer Ledisi, I just had to try it. Love the dark eye shadow and the head tilted. So dramatic! When I first tried adding the blue eye shadow to my painting it looked cool to me. But when I had my hubby look at it he nicely told me the blue I did made her eyes look hollow! LOL! So I went back and added a lighter blue and that did it! So here are some pictures showing the progression of my version of Ledisi. Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and a cousin. It was so great to have m

Under the Trees (updated)

Last Sunday, my husband and I went to one of our local parks. It was a nice, sunny and warm afternoon but the breeze was just heavenly. We found a shady spot full of all types of trees and laid out and just relaxed. So here is a layout I did from that lazy Sunday. I scrap lifted this idea from Latrice Murphy's layout in the August 2014 issue of Paper Craft & Scrapbooking magazine on page 59. I saw the online copy and when I saw her layout, it went in my memory to try at some point. A great way to use up all those scraps I had sitting around, too. I love the wood grain paper paired with all the bright patterned paper.  We laughed as I took the "selfie" of us laying around. I splattered white gesso paint around. This little leather sticker was a fun touch. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! 7/25/14 After looking at this layout this morning I decided to add some gold glitter paper banners to really finish it off. Now I feel sati
