Blue Mother's day

12x16 Canvas

Helping hand...

Me and my grandma

The bride....

Its nothing like capturing the beauty of a bride on her wedding day! I had the honor of doing just that!

It was my dear friend Shanetta's wedding day and I had not bought a gift!! I was in Hobby Lobby looking around for the perfect gift for her and ran into very nice things.

I found the His and Her pillows an though those were really nice but it just was not personal enough. I mean I had her wedding invite in my hand and said. "Aha! I can make her a bridal canvas! She has seen my canvases and had already expressed that she loved them and wanted to order one after the wedding. So this would be perfect!

Her wedding colors were coral and cream and since I was already in Hobby Lobby I did a U Turn and grabbed some flowers and feathers from the floral section and some jewelry findings from the jewelry section. Then I ran to Michaels and grabbed a couple of coral Prima flowers and some wedding sentiment stickers and rushed home to whip this canvas together in 4 hours!!!

She was so happy when she received it.  I had to share the video!

Here is me and the bride. Isn't she lovely?? Of course she is!!! Shanetta's response. "This young lady, Ms. Tam is very talented. I’m sure that I have asked her several times, what is in your hand referring to Ex 4:2; when God asked Moses, what is that in your hand? Tam, everything that you need to continue your success is right in front of you.Truly, anything that she sets her mind to do, count it done with professionalism. She adds her personal touch focusing on all the details with every bead, lace, or jewelry placed on the canvas. This beautiful piece was presented to me on my wedding day. She asked several times if I was ready to open the box and every response was yes, I’m ready. Well so I thought that I was. However, when I did, I certainly did not expect this work of art to bring me to tears but it did!!! I LOVE IT!!!" List of things I used: Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays

Gems!!!

What a bargain!!! I bought a pound of gems from Joann’s!!! Love them!!! I dont need to buy any more gems for a long time... The bag had every color you could think of. My son, Courtlan, decided to surprise me while I was at work and separate them all by color!!! The picture below is only a fourth of the bag but it was definitely a big help!!!

This makes it easier for me to put in the season rack that I purchased at Wal-Mart. Of course I had to add a little ribbon to it and it is so useful and you can just sit it on your desk and spin it!!!

Where in the world have i been!!!!

I am back!!!! I just figured out what my password was... It has been along time... I will be posting new things very soon....

What is a Delta?

This is the new stamp I am working with and boy do I love her!!!

Happy Birthday Drennan

Happy Birthday Drennan!!! This card is for my new Team Lead who I report to right now. I say right now because we are always changing things at my job. I used Coffee Riley because he seems laid back and this is for a guy so no need for too much embellishment. The card stock was from DCWV Alphabet stack!!! Love this stack! All of the card stock in it is black and silver and white. I purchased it with the 12 by 12 and the 4 x 6 just had to have it. This paper was appropriate to use because that is what Drennan is all about. If he does not hear the "sparky" in my voice he quickly sends me a message on my screen saying "I am so sad that you don't sound "sparky" today!!! At the bottom of the card I stamped Chocolate Moose anyone from Hanna Stamps Riley sentiments. In the inside of the card I used white ink from ... and made a silouette of Hammock Riley and the sentiment from MFT Time for Bubbly set. I gave it to Drennan at work and he loved it. I told him that he should not have been at work today and he said that I was so right and took my advise to go home right now... (Actually he was off today he just came in to finish a report!!!) But he made me feel like I talked him into it...too funny.

Riley Swap at SCS

Ok, I have truly fallen in love with Riley from Hanna Stamps! There is a Riley Swap at Splitcoaststampers. My first swap!! This is where you send in 6 cards, which one goes to the Hostess of the Swap and the other 5 go to other stampers that are participating. Then you receive 5 new ones back!!! So, the more you send... the more you receive!!!! So my cards that I am making are with Hula Sophie!!! I love her she makes me feel like getting away. Now what is so funny is that I was confused about the swap, at first, because I thought it was just make 6 and swap so I inked up 6 different Rileys. Then I realized that it was suppose to be the same stamp on 6 different cards, duh!!!

Breakfast for me!!!

Breakfast in bed? No breakfast in the craft room!!!! My loving son, Courtlan, cooked me breakfast all by himself!!!! Awwwww!!! He cooked me bacon, eggs and crescent rolls.. Don't worry I watched him the whole time from my craft table while I was working on the Riley Swap.. He was so happy. He even gave the rolls a real nice tan!!!

Bling Bling Rack

Photo Album Card

My friend Janine wanted me to make a card for her boss as a going away card (or shall i say scrapbook her a card!!!) She wanted 4 pictures of the her boss with plenty of embellishments and a page for each picture. I call that an album. We got in from my Mom's at 8 pm and I had to get right on this card!!!



I went to Hobby Lobby earlier in the week and purchased the Petaloo Box Blend Large Sunken Treasure. Loved it!! They were so cute!!! I got to get all the sets because you can mix and match. I also added gems on some of the flowers since she wanted some bling!!! I used cardstock from DCVW with matching ribbon. I bought the sheets individually at Hobby Lobby too. I could not find them in a pack. The clear scripture stickers came from JoAnns and matted them on card stock from DCWVas well.





Janine said that her Boss loved it!!! It was fun to make!!!

Back from Florida - No Pictures!!!

So I am back from Orlando!!! Took pictures of all the family and all the landmarks and some one deleted all my pictures off my camera!!! Boy I am hurt... I was going to scrapbook that whole Road Trip and Family Reunion. made 12 recipe books for all my family and took pictures of everyone of them .... gone!!! Not a happy camper!!
Here is a few that my cousin took.

My hubby and I went to the movies on the Disney's Pleasure Island to see Hellboy II. The movie was ok, not as good as the first one. My son, Courtlan went to Universal Studios Theme Park and had a ball!!! He had a 2 day ticket and really enjoyed himself!!!
