Wedding Day

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Wow, life is just flying by.  I've been working some Overtime, headed to a wedding this weekend and decided to use this weeks MFT sketch for my pattern.



I've almost made my way back through most of you, so I hope to be getting by your blog again soon! 

Thanks for looking,

Holly

Warm Wishes & Sunny Smiles

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Wanted to put this one together quick this evening in time for the MFT Sketch Challenge, sorry for the bad pic.  It's late.  lol.




I wanted to get a better pic and I added some flip flops to this card.

Thank You For The Bacon





Hello Stampers and Friends,

I have been waiting for a free morning to use my Crazy Birds.  I just love them.  My Step Mother bought me the matching dies for my Birthday last month and I wanted to get them out and give them a try.  OMGosh I love the matchy dies!  I wondered how much white space would be off centered, if it would cut off the legs and feet or curly cue.  Nope,  it's a no brainer, perfectly aligns with the bird, I put a piece of removable tape on it and voila, a perfect cut out.  I love that.  

My Sister needed a Thank You card for a guy that brought her some most excellent bacon.  She is a chef so that is a perfect gift.  Fortunately, she brought it here! So it was most excellent.  lol.  My Muse is Jenn Shurkus from Creative Chick.....here is hers.

Jenn is having a month long Blogaversary Challenge and I was so happy to be able to play along. There is still a few more days to play if you are interested.  She has lots of really cool things to case. 

Thanks for Checking on Me,

Holly

A Bear and His Balloon


Hello Friends and Stampers,

I'm sorry to have not made my way around to all of your blogs in a very long time.  I had a Very busy July and just took my Certification in Case Management exam on Saturday.  I had two weeks of very intense studying to do but I am happy to report that I did pass the exam and am now Certifiable, lol.  

It's been a little while since I had that feeling that I could just sit and create something with nothing looming over me....except all the house work that NEEDS to be done, lol.   So I will post this and get back to cleaning up the house for the next chapter....which is going back to College in September for a Bachelors degree.   You know, it's always something right?  lol.   It's been 22+ years since I have been in school, so there is a bit of a relearning curve, but I think I can get back into the swing of things okay.  It's a new requirement that Nurses in specialty areas need to get higher degrees.  It will not make a difference in what I do or how I do it, but I will have some theory under my belt and the degree that satisfies the new requirements.  

I had a lot of fun with this bear.  I just love Birdie Brown designs.  This is Birthday Bears from My Favorite Things, I colored with my Copics and used Echo Parks Summer Bliss paper.  

Thanks for checking in.
