Race Car card

Made this card using a freebie from svgcuts.com/blog and also using size A6 card from the premium pop up cards from their store.

Fathers day card!

I posted this over at my other blog    http://betweenthealmondtrees.blogspot.com/  But I thought I would share it here too! Since its crafty and all...........
I was feeling a bit crafty today so, I thought I would make my dad his fathers day card. I just LOVE making these cards especially because the whole time I am making it I think about him. See my dad lives about 2200 miles away from me and I miss him soo much. I moved away from home a long time ago, and the one think I miss most about "home" is my dad! He is a simple guy and that is one of the things I love the most about him. He is the type of guy that could tell you everything you need to know without speaking a word. We would sit at the kitchen table for hours not really saying much ( my dads not a big talker) and yet I learned so much. Thank you dad for being you!
Here is a card I know you'll love!

I got this idea from doing a google search for fathers day cards.... Then landing here.....

A Mothers Fear!

It is sad that in todays world you have to be filled with fear just by sending your children to school!


I am sure some of you, if not all have heard about the teacher arrested for giving her students Chloroform. Well, come to find out now she was making explosives in her classroom!!! WTF???? Why?



Oh, did I mention.... THIS IS THE SCHOOL MY SON ATTENDS!!!!!!!



Lets just say I am very very very very UPSET!



Here is the link if you don't know what I am talking about.

I HAVE A NEW BLOG

I have created a new blog..... I don't get much time to craft these days. I never knew living in the country was so much work.... and fun. I am always doing something around my house but lately it hasn't been crafting. Sadly :(   I would love to share many things with you but for some reason I didn't really want to post it here. Just feels like this is a crafty only type place. Ya know? Anywayz, If you guys want to see what I am up too then head on over to http://betweenthealmondtrees.blogspot.com/

I am going to try and post there everyday, just to kinda let you know what I have been up to for the day. I will still post here but only if it is crafty. Then again I just might transfer everything over there. We will see how it goes. Much love to all ( 15) of you that have put up this far with my bad blogging!!!  LOL 

Cya Between the Almond Trees!! 

Bless our home

Made this using a embroidery ring. I fitted the fabric between the rings and added some cherry blossoms and the bless our home svgs from svgcuts.com. I entered this in the Cherry blossom challenge over there on their forum. I am sending this to my Mom for Mothers Day!

B-day Decor and Invite

So I have been a little lazy in posting this, but I am taking time for my crafting today. My Daughters B-day was in Feb.... So a month later isn't tooo bad! haha!
I made the invites to look like concert tickets , printing on both sides. These took a long time but I LOVE the end results! I had to do many many test prints. I am sure there is an easier way to do it but I am not aware of that! LOL  Anywayz~ I love them and she loved them so it was well worth the time.

Then I made her "happy birthday" banner. I made it to match the invites! It was so cool looking I sooo did not want to take it down.
I have the disco ball svg if anyone wants it. Just dont have an account set up so you can DL from my blog. ( someday  hehehe)  Just shoot me an email and I will be glad to sent it to ya.

I made some purple stars to dress up the the shinny star garlin I got at the dollar store. I embossed them with the star folder and colored in all the black parts and also sanded the star to give it a 3d color look.

I am very pleased with this and had a blast making it.    Enjoy!
