More May Maddness

The VBS materials have been found!!  I am so glad.  Everything is together now, ha ha ha.  I remember starting to make something yesterday and having trouble with it and now I don't even remember what I was working on!!  How is that for an example of how busy I am.

Last night I had a scrapbooking crop.  None of us got a lot done, but we all needed to just be with each other so much.  We are all going through some tough experiences and we needed each other's company.  Sometimes you just need to know someone loves and supports you so you can go back out and fight the battles of daily life again.

I did get my cards done for the card swap.  I promise that I will soon take pictures and post the cards...when school is out and vbs is over....I think they are really pretty.  But I know that the others that make cards with me are really gonna wow me!!  This month we are gonna meet at McDonalds and I am going to try a new drink.  Don't know what, but I am gonna try something frappy or mochay!!

Last night C said the funniest thing.  One of my friends was saying that she wanted to adopt a baby girl.  Ciara said, "Too bad I'm not available."  We laughed so hard.   She got it right, she is not available!!  That's my baby!

Well, I am off to make breakfast, go decorate the church, and finally get my nails done.  Have a great Saturday!

May Card Swap

May's card swap theme was all about the wedding...and they were all absolutely stunning.  Now I just wish I knew a bunch of people who were getting married!!  Leave a comment and guess who did what to win some blog candy.  I will post who did what on Friday.  The players were Me, Margie, Maria, Angie, Vicky, Melissa, Darla, and Sue.

April Card Swap

Update:  Margie was the winner of the blog candy.  She guessed all 7 correctly.  She will get a special surprise in her next swap bag.  Thanks to everyone who guessed.  Here are the correct answers.  

1.  I made the cute little tractor card.  I cased the idea from a blog, but I can't find it anymore.  I am so sorry I can't give credit to the wonderful lady who thought of this great idea.  This lady does amazing things with punches.  Then I saw this amazing way to make a sunset look from this blog.  I couldn't wait to try it.  


2.  Margie did the birthday card with the bright colors and the scallop punches.


3.  Sue made the card with the flower and circle punches.


4.  Angie made the love always card.  I didn't get that labels set from sale-a-bration and now I wish I would have!  I loved the way she embossed it and then punched it out.  Angie, I want to borrow that stamp set!!


5.  Vicky made the beautiful flower card.  I want that flower stamp too.  Why is it that no matter what you have, you always want what someone else has??


6.  Darla made the cute lady bug and flower card.  


7.  Melissa made the milk and cookies.  How amazing!  


Thanks so much ladies for all your hard work.  Next month, we will have one more joining us and our theme is wedding cards.  See ya next time,
Steph

 April's card swap was inspired by several of the swaps last time.  I love using punches and liked the way punches were used on some of the cards last time, so decided to go with a punch theme.  This month the rules were use 3 different punches and a stamped image.  I made mine and forgot to put a stamped image, so I had to add something.  Silly me - not following my own rules!!

I was totally blown away by the creativity and the amazing cards that were made this month.  You guys did a fantastic job.  Never in my wildest dreams could I have come up with some of those ideas.  If you are a card-maker and want to get in on this swap, leave me a comment.  It is a fantastic way to stock up on great cards.  

Here are the results.  As always I will let you guess who did what for a chance to win some blog candy.   If the comment button won't let you comment, email me your guesses.  You have until Saturday to guess.  The players were:

1. Melissa
2. Stephanie
3. Margie
4. Vicky
5. Angie
6. Darla
7. Sue
