Playing with new techniques

I finally got time to make a couple of cards today now that the kids are back in school. I tried the faux tearing technique from splitcoaststampers.com and it was alot of fun!

Then I used the "marble rolling technique" to make this card, I actually got the entire card idea off of splitcoaststampers.com. I loved this card from the gallery and since I needed to make a card for my dads 80th birthday, this card just seemed to fit the bill! Thank you for whoever made it and I hope you aren't upset that I snagged the idea!

Just another day in paradise!

Trying to keep busy to keep my mind off the fact that my poor dog is sick and at the vet trying to get adjusted to insulin now that he has become diabetic. He is only 7 and has been very sick. I'm so glad that I took him to the vet and I just hope and pray they can pull him thru. In the mean time, this is what I did to occupy my time and keep busy.....I have been making invitations for my oldest daughter's baby shower.

Welcome to my blog

I think I finally have time to start blogging again. Tried this before at Xanga and got so bogged down with trying to reply to everyone that posted to me, I gave up and got rid of account. Hoping I won't feel so stressed about replying this time. After all, with 5 kids...I don't have alot of spare time, and what spare time I do have, I would rather be crafting!
