This card I came up with on a whim.  It was my Brother-in-law's birthday and I had a top note die cut out and just went from there.  The glitter effect was from out lining the letter's and taking my finger and spreading it all over the die!!  The ribbon I had just gotten from my friend the day before.  The Happy Birthday came from Wild Cards Cart.  
This card was made with help from Wild Cards Cartridge! A friend of ours was in a very bad bicycling accident and I sent this to him and his family they got a kick out of it!

My Daughter's invitation's


The front of the card was done with Doodle Charms and the words are from Wild Card
The inside bowling Pin I got from my Yahoo group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cricutcutter/ from allison mentink a big thanks to her it is from George and basic shapes.  The bowling ball I created myself from George as well!  The invite words are from Wild Cards!!

Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything!  I have been working on my daughter's invitation's!  I made 14 of them!  She told me what she wanted on them and I made them!  I took pics so I will get those uploaded as well.!  Summer was here we had 95 degrees a couple of days and then we got 70's then some 80's and now we are overcast and a little chilly.  That is the North West for you!!  I am still applying for jobs and no bites yet not even a nibble.  Very disappointing but oh well I ger to spend time with the kids and hubby for now and I get to see my boys play ball!  That is a big plus and the other plus side is I get to do what I love and that is paper craft.  I was thinking of getting out the scrapbook and seeing where I left off but I am not quite that motivated yet. Card making is holding me for now and the Cricut 3-D cut outs I have also been playing with! 
Have a great day!!

Is it summer yet??

  Here it is July 2nd and still no sign of Summer...  It is misting and sprinkling here in the Northwest.  I have been up here for 17 years and this is the worst weather this time of year yet!  I wanted a few days of sun but it is not looking very good right now.  Maybe next week.  The only plus is the money I am saving on sunscreen this year!!  And considering the job situation right now this is a good thing.
  So both older boys are playing summer ball.  The oldest is on the High School summer League. He is one of the boys that is younger and so he isn't supposed to get a lot of playing time.  They have League and Non-League games.  He might get an inning or two every 2-3 games if they are ahead.  In Non-League games he might play more.  On Tues. he played 6 full innings and even started the game!!  We were so proud.  He did great.  He was so happy and every inning the coach put him in he was surprised!
  The middle son plays on a select team.  He is a great player and he mainly starts.  He is also one of the older kids on his team.  He also pitches.  This will be great for next year when he is eligible to play on the High School Legion Team.  They can play when they graduate from eighth grade and are going to be Freshmen the following Sept.
  I am very proud that they are so athletic.  They did not get it from me though it is all from my husband! Thanks for reading!

Well it is Mon. again and the weekends weather was a huge disappointment!!  My son was supposed to have a Baseball Tourney and on Sat it got cancelled.  Sun. we went because the games were still on. All the way there it was sprinkles and occasional shower's.  We got there and got ready for the game.  Started playing and in the 4th inning it started to come down.  The kids still played till the bottom of the 5th.  they decided to cancell the rest of the tourney.  What a wasted trip...  I hate it when it does that.  Summer not quite here yet.

Sunny today though on a Monday...

So I went to the Worksource class titled, Intro to Word.  Very good class!  I knew the basics but not the little things that you can do with it.  Very informative!!  Instructor was very nice too.

I go in tomorrow for Orientaion for Unemployment.  I found out Sun. that I actually qualified for unemployment.  No fight or appeal was necessary!  Thank GOD for this all the way. He does not give us more than we can handle! I am ahead of many right now because unfortunately my husband has been through this before and I was able to get all my stuff done to get going and already have taken 2 classes! Each class that you take qualifies as a job that you applied for.  3 times a week you have to apply for a job and keep a record of it.  This means this week I only have to apply for 2.

Well I am going to try to make some cards today.  We'll see how this pan's out though with the kids all home it get's to be a little harder these days...
