My project is a Print and Cut from the Silhouette store/Cameo. I loved these bees. I  have a photo of my granddaughter when she was sooo little dressed as a Bee for Halloween. I know it will be perfect on this page. It'd be on the page, except it's one of those days where I put things so I'll know where they are, then can't find them.  Who are we kidding, I have whole weeks like that!  the background and mats are from CTMH. My grandchildren make my heart so happy. I have to say the bees didn't have smiles, and I thought they looked sad, so I drew in my little smiles on their faces.  I hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Winter is almost gone from our area.. I hope and that Spring is well on it's way here, but I had taken these photos of these two during a brief snow shower and just loved them, so enjoy!

My project features my favorite Prince and Princess.... Two of our Grandchildren and my two natural grandchildren..
Emily is trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue! Royce, who is experiencing snow for the first time wasn't sure what to make of it! He curled up his nose and tried to see what was hitting his face! Elsa from Frozen seemed to be the perfect match and I love how her hand looks like she's caught Royce! I used my old Expression 1 for this project. You know, that old machine is a work horse and I take it to crops, just in case something happens.. and I don't need Wi-Fi! I just loved how details like those small tiny snowflakes cut out so well!! I added some bling to the centers! The paper is from a stack called Frozen and Elsa happens to be on the reverse side, but I love the paper piecing!! You can just make the designs your own! Frozen and Elsa is from the Cricut Frozen cartridge. Thanks for stopping by today and head to the next blog before your coach turns into a pumpkin!! Oh wait,, that's not Frozen! Let It Go - and have fun! :)

Happy Birthday Connie!!
I made this cute little slider card with a Close To My Heart Stamp Set. That little doggie is sure enjoying his ice cream and heading for the large one on a slider made with a penny! I used the Shin Han Markers from CTMH to color the card. The slider is easy to do and if  you Google Slider Card, you will see numerous versions of how to do it! Quick and easy!! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! And I hope you have the best birthday ever!

And he slides from left to right.. and back again.

Butterfly welcome wreath

I've  been seeing these and just love them. While shopping last night I saw some  butterflies  and purchased all they  had. Came home and used the Welcome a friend cut trying her new Explore machine  then added the butterflies . I think  it turned out well  or at least I'm  pleased  with it.

TO THE BAT CAVE ROBIN!!!

UP UP and AWAY!

Heroes don't always wear those tight leggings and great get-ups! I bet we all know someone who just goes about their day blessing others every step of the way! That would describe my husband! He'll tell you that he saved my life on our honeymoon 21 years ago. I became ill on our trip and came home to find out I had Ovarian Cancer. My family doctor thought my being sick was due to water or food on our trip or "a change in my sexual habits". Anyway, they found out what was wrong, took care of it and he took care of me! He has every time something has come up. Gall Bladder, disk issue.. maybe he's just bad luck! Nah!!  He is just an everyday guy who goes to work to provide for his beloved wife (that's me) and our family. He would do anything for any one who needed a hand, or help when ever he's called on!! He is just a great man who has taken my kids as his own and made them ours! He loves being a grandfather to the ones who are close, and misses the ones who aren't terribly!  He steps up whenever he can to make life great for all of us!! I don't know what I'd do without him, and I sure don't want to find out! He was, and still is my prince and always will be!! I'm so thankful that God put him in my life!!

I used Close To My Heart Jackson paper, and the Hero stamp to make this card. Added some bling, and while it may be simple, it reflects the recipient perfectly. He doesn't put on a false front and what you see is what you get!! He'll think it's great and appreciate the effort being made for him, not as much as I appreciate him!! Hope you enjoyed!! And may you all have a hero in your life! If you'd like to know more about the Jackson products or any Close to My Heart products, just contact me!

Now let's see what other heroes are up to and head over to Angela!

I'm so glad you stopped by! I used a file from Creative Kuts.. My bears have found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.. or shamrocks! When I add my grandkids photos, that's when the gold will show up! They are all so precious to us! Hence the title- Lucky Us! Two tags for adding details of who is who, or what's going on in the photos! I used a variety of paper from my stash. If you're like me, you could paper a house both inside and out!

I'm working on a layout for each month of this year, and then can add my photos, and have a great album to remember the time! I hope you enjoyed your stop here.. so continue on to:
Alicia

and see if you find a pot of gold there! Good Luck!

I posted the line-up in case you're lost! Finding Gold is hard!!
