My butterfly swaps!

Happy Thrusday!

I know I have done alot of different butterflies, I love the contrast of the red on this one. The glitter and bling of the crystals doesn’t show up very well, but in person the card is very pretty.

If you haven’t joined splitcoast, please do so, you won’t regret it!

It is almost the last day of school. Tomorrow the kids get to call it quits for the summer. My youngest, Chad is so excited since tomorrow is field day. He decided he didn’t need one ‘Lunchable’, but two, this way he is assured he won’t be too hungry forall of the activities.

I have a comment on the blog candy winner, but Teresa, I still haven’t received an email from you. Please contact me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net with your snail mail info!

I bet you think this is for a card maybe a layering piece of some kind. This beautiful blue butterfly sits atop some yellow card stock and some decorative paper card stock, and it is a barrette!

If you check out my blog the basic instructions for making these butterflies can be foud there. I hope you’ll check them out an dmake some creations of your own!

I hope very one has a nice day!

Monday and Music

The clip board was picked up from AC moore, I used it as a post it holder, i love the size. The little pen was part of a set of 6 in the Target dollar bin, and of course the DP was part of what I had on hand. I even put one of my butterflies on the pin to finish off the project.

As many of you know I have rekendled my passion for playing the violin. I am currently looking for a private tutor and hopefully can take some lessons during the not-so busy summer.

Not much to blog this afternoon, just a reminder that tonight is the last chance to post comments to the blog. I will be drawing blog candy tomorrow afternoon after Bible Study.

It has been a beautiful day here, and our Michael’s had the $1.00 calendar dollar clear stamps, of course I bought 3 sets, one as a gift for my secret sister on split coast, one for me and one a friend asked me to pick up. They are glorious, now if I just had the time to put the ideas into practice.

Today, I made 5 hand made cards using the transparency butterflies, music and a black and white theme, I will be making more of these to go into the black and white swap. A reminder if you are particpating in this swap they are due on Friday June 6.

I put my creations into a paper box purse I created for my Bible Study group leader, I hope she will enjoy it, I needed a simple way of saying Thank you for the hard work she provides our group of ladies.

Stamp Happy, tomorrow I’ll probally use the random number generator to pull for the blog candy. I hope you will continue to enjoy my blog, next round of candy will probally start around June 10th.

Happy Stamping,

Loretta

Happy Sunday — My beautiful Planter

Happy Sunday!

It has been a busy day here in the Rodger household. Please read and enjoy the pictures and the blog!

Here is a view of the planter from the front. As you can see its two layers deep you will be able to see the planter in its entirity throughout this post. Including some pictures of my sweet hubby. This one is worth the view!

Blog candy drawing is going to be June 3rd, just a reminder. Please continue to post comments in my blog. Remember only US residents are elijible, however if I do have an overseas person I will send them a card or smaller goodie. Postage here in the States is becoming a nightmare!

I hope every one is enjoying this Sunday! I sure am, I made a quick trip to the store to buy ice cube trays, cole slaw and $1.00 stamps. Our Michael’s store is just a skip from the grocery. I bought the new calendar dollar stamps. I went through and pulled out four sets of them. Three as gifts one for me! They are adorable. I am so addicted to dollar stamps, you get so many goodies for so little! I’m all about value.

Here is a quick look at the planter from the side street looking toward the house, it is so beautiful!

Below is a side view of the platners, those hedges may be small now, but in a couple of years they will grow in and fill up the bed. The long term plan is to add hedges along the walk to bring even more attention to the house.

Here are is one more pic of the work part. Here you will see my sweet Michael finishing up the planting of the shrubs, they are azalea’s by the way.

So its late afternoon, the planter is complete, the husband is showered and now (you’re gonna love this picture) its time to rest!

Thats’ right, one tired hubby one nice recliner three dogs and a nap. I assure you he deserved the nap, the dogs in his eyes where just an added bonus. Shhh, he’s still sleeping! Tonight we will enjoy BBQ brisket, he has been one busy guy!

I hope every one continues to enjoy their sunday! Happy Stamping!

Saturday Bella Garder

This is such a simple card.

Stampin Bella is Gardenbella check out their stamps here. I have to brag on this company a little bit, I ordered about 8 bellas on Wednesday, got the tracking/shipping info on Thrusday evening, I had the order on Friday morning. No, I’m not kidding!

I used pretty in pink for the card base, decorative paper (5 1/4″ X 4″), the purple panel is layered behind the main panel. She is colored using my new copic markers. (I love love love them). I embellished the image with simple glitter.

Update, the 19 year old son, continues to ‘act out’. Now we seem to think its “ok” to look at porn on the internet. This is not tolerated, I do not want this influence in my home especially with a 13 year old in the house. My tolerance is next to zero now and I will no longer tolerate his behavior.

I know he is going to trying all the tricks in the book, but immorality is not going to be tolerated. I hold my children to the same high standards as the Scriptures teach. No less will be tolerated.

My sweet Michael continues to work on the new planter, I’ll take pictures tomorrow. I have one of him after a hard work day sitting in his recliner sleeping. Not to mention he had three dogs keeping him company. I’ll post that picture tomorrow.

June 3 is the drawing for blog candy. So keep posting, remember I’ll start a new round in June around the 10th, but please read my blog anyway!

Stamp happy!

Loretta
