Saying goodbye for a while....

Saying goodbye for a while....

This has not been a great week. My precious Mother in Law had a stroke early Friday and passed away on Monday morning. We have made either 4 or 5 trips to the southern coast, about 200 miles each way in the last two weeks. With that being said I am scheduled for surgery on my back on the 28th and will not be able to sit and make cards for a while.

I seem to have lost the spark to do them right now. My emotions are so raw that it hurts to think...all I want to do is cry.

Please send your thoughts and prayers to my dear husband and throw one in for me too!!! Love to my online family and friends....

Stacked for a scene

A lot of time went in on this cute card. Each element was stamped, cut out and mounted in the background I created. 

The card started with a plain white piece of paper.

 Airbrushed the clouds with B21, YR21 

 Airbrushed the grass in with YG45

Stamped the trees with Old Olive, colored the trunks with E13

Stamped and colored each component (tilda, edwin, and log)

colors used: E00, E01, E11, E13, E17, E21, E33, E27, E37, E50

BV0000, BV01, BV02, R46, R81, C1, C3, C5, YG0000, YG01, Y11.

My Cute Cows

  Even though this is not a Magnolia, I had to share it as I think it is totally cute!!

 

This is just such a cute stamp set. EIEI Hello From Our Craft Lounge.

I have a precious Aunt who loves Holstein Cows (Friesian for those of you on the other side of the pond). She said she was making me some tea towels that had Holstein cows..I thought "I have a stamp for that"
