2011-11-16T22:20:00.002-05:00

crazy cards 2

2011-09-02T23:54:00.001-04:00

Here are some more cards that I made with my Dad. I really was just playing around with the same design/layout and changes up the colors and a few other little variations. My Dad was so encouraging and told me they all look good... I know he is just trying to be nice! Lol

Crazy Cards! 1

2011-09-02T23:46:00.003-04:00

I went a little crazy tonight making some cards with my Dad. My Dear old Dad came down from VT to visit me for the long weekend. He helped me make some of these card. What a good sport! I love designing a card then make a few variations of the same card... Then again, I sorta did that with my children too... My daughter is named after me and my son after my husband... I guess I struggle with being original! LOL

My cousin's cards

2011-03-01T17:04:00.002-05:00

Look at these amazingly beautiful cards my cousin made with the Sale a bration stamps she received free for putting in an order for only $50!

One of the things I always hear my fellow SU! demostrators talk about is how they love how card making/scrap booking booking brings them closer to other women. I love that this has brought me closer to my cousin again! When we were kids we often went on vacation with my Aunt Ginny, and we had awesome times and created great memories. Now we have the opportunity to re-connect again and enjoy shared times and new memories!

Well, I am a little embarrassed to say, I have not made a Valentine's day card this year! Time just got away. I have had someone sick in my house every week for the last 4 weeks which hasn't helped either! Even worse, the day after Valentine's day is my husband's birthday.... guess what, so far, no card made for him either! Yikes! (thank goodness I have some birthday cards stock piled!)

Vintage Christmas: 12x12

2010-11-01T00:11:00.001-04:00

Here are the pics of the 2 page layout we are doing this Friday night. I am waiting to hear if the last two seats have been taken. However, if you are interested in these pages but unable to make it this Friday night let me know because I have a waiting list for a few people who want to make them. I might have a second class if there are enough to fill it up.

I have to admit, I am loving these pages. Unfortunately, the pictures do not do them justice. I think photos in Sepia would look perfect for this layout.

Check out my New Digs!

2010-05-18T12:54:00.002-04:00

I just really enjoyed changing things around again today! Like a fresh set of new clothes!

This card was for my co-worker Arlene who got married this past weekend! Sadly, I was unable to attend, but I had fun making her card nonetheless!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

2010-05-10T22:31:00.002-04:00

This card was sooo easy to make, much easier than I expected. I am planning on designing a card like this for my Card Class in June: Funky Fancy Fold's Card making Class!

Ink: pink pirouette, real red

Accessories: real red buttons, brayer, oval punch, scallop punch, beautiful wings embossits

Finished pages!

2010-05-05T08:36:00.003-04:00

Here are the finished pages for our Class on 5/21/10! You choose your title and I will make it for you while you work on your project. I made these pages for my husband. He is always carrying around a wallet full of "stuff". One day it just broke! so I took the photo's and promised him that some day I would make scrapbook pages from all of his photos. I am sure that was more than a year ago! Not all of his photo's fit on these pages!

I can't wait until 5/21! My first class! Hope you can make it and please be patient with me! I am hoping and praying it goes smooth!

2010-05-01T22:46:00.001-04:00

Easy card to try out some new stuff... I used the vanilla shimmer smooch spritz on this card.. it looks nice in real life.

2010-05-01T22:43:00.002-04:00

I used the new Presto Patterns... very cool to use. First spritz and then wipe with paper towels...
For the flower in the upper right hand corner I scallop punched three times, wet, wrinkled and let dry. Then put a brad through it.

Each week they really come up with pretty color combos...ones I would never think of, but do look pretty! I tend to be monochromatic, so they help me out a lot each week!

Lastly, my dear Sista's, I have been fairly absent from the bus, but I just love and miss them nonetheless!

THANKS Kerry!

2010-02-20T20:32:00.001-05:00

Last night I had a very scary episode where my heart was beating out of control. I went to the ER and my Dear friend who is an ER Doc took excellent care of me. I am giving her this card with a gift as a Thank YOU!

this is also for a few challenges: TSC (funny and a SCS challenge. Thanks BRAT!), CTD found here: http://www.colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ and the Limited Supply Challenge.

If you can't read the joke here it is: (the funny part about the joke is that professionally I am a Social Worker)

A man in severe chest pain/pressure is brought to the hospital ER and diagnosed with a massive MI.
The doctor tells him that he will not live unless he has a heart transplant right away.
Another doctor runs into the room and says, "you're in luck, two hearts just became available, so you will get to choose which one you want.
One belongs to an attorney and the other to a social worker".
The man quickly responds, "the attorney's".
The doctor says, "Wait! Don't you want to know a little about them before you make your decision?"
The man says, "I already know enough. We all know that social workers are bleeding hearts and the attorney's probably never used his. So I'll take the attorney's!"

Happy Birthday Joe!

2010-02-11T22:39:00.005-05:00

This is not the most masculine card, but hopefully, my DH will still like it! :o)

Stamps: flight of the butterfly
Paper: night of navy, taste of textiles, ww

I am so happy to go to the tea party this week, it has been way too long! Cindy made a beautiful teapot card that words can't describe.

This Snowman Stamp is a wonderful RAK that I received from Lesley, aka: Marleygo after we had a bet Yankees vs. Phillies.

I got 5 of these tins with chocolate covered pretzels for the therapists where my son gets Physical Therapy, Speech and Occupational Therapy. All of them are just so wonderful to him and he is doing great! So this was just a little "Thank You".

Tea Party!

2009-11-23T22:17:00.003-05:00

This is Mo's Real Story:
When I was pregnant with my daughter we decided to name her Maureen after me. However, her middle name is Rose after my husband's favorite Johnny Cash Song "Give my love to Rose". We call my daughter Rose or Rosie. So when I told my husband the exciting news that I would be hosting Tea Pot Tuesday and I needed his and Rosie's help picking out a tea pot and story, they suggested this one. I also wanted to make it easy knowing that it is a holiday week and most of us Woman will be doing the preparing and cooking! My love and regards to the Mothermark.... Can't wait for your return!

Tea Party Story:
Today we are taking a trip to Grand Ole Opry! Johnny Cash came back to pay us ladies a visit at our tea party! He loves a party! He is personally singing for us our favorite Johnny Cash Song: Give my Love to Rose:

I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone

Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

If you want to come in the front door of the Grand Ole Opry tea party bring a card with any of the following: A rose (or your favorite flower), country song theme, Johnny Cash Theme, or a card for your daughter/mother. Additionally, I try to make all of my cards FUNctional, try to add that to the challenge!

Thanks for having me as our Host this week and I hope everyone has a VERY Happy THANKSGIVING! Gobble Gobble!

Midnight Christmas Thankful Teapot

2009-11-19T15:08:00.000-05:00

Thanks again Marilynn for hosting this week. Not only did you inspire me with your card, but you also inspired me to buy a bird feeder for my backyard. My kitchen as a beautiful window and sliding door that over looks my yard and I never thought to get a bird feeder! I can be a little slow on the uptake! LOL

I don't love this card, but I feel grateful I got it done!

It is also for the midnight madness challenge found here: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/...28-mmsc28.html

I also posted a sneak peek for next weeks challenge found here: http://maureenvollaro.blogspot.com/2...k-mmtpt69.html

It's an easy one figuring that it is Thanksgiving week and we will all be busy cooking!

Sneak Peek: MMTPT69

2009-11-19T14:57:00.002-05:00

This coming Tuesday I am excited to say that I will be holding MMTPT69. We desperately miss our Mothermark, however, we promise to keep this going until she returns.
