Sketch challenge for class

Western 4th of July Rehearsal Dinner

 
 
 
 

We helped to decorate for the rehearsal dinner on the 4th of July. When we planned it we wanted it to be red, white and blue but not so 4th oriented. Didn't is turn out so wonderful??

Our Cruise of the Mediteranean in April

Sketch class

Here is my version of Sketch 4 from my online Got Sketch class. It was so fun!!

Graduation Party

On June 15th we had a celebration for Mark and Laura.They both graduated this year. I made these votive holdersthat I saw on Martha Stewart. You copy the pictures ontovellum paper and put them into the frames without a backing. Attach the frames together and put a candle in the middle. Very cool!!

Here are Mark and Laura with the cake and picture votives!!

Pickryl Shower

We got to plan another wedding shower, this time for our friend Janice new
daughter in law, Mary Caroline. Her colors are tiffany blue. As you can see
everything was wonderful!!

Sketch 2 from Class

This is my design from the Sketch 2, that was our assignment yesterday from the online class I am taking. I have also made some more cards, but they are secret(need to save them til I give them). These Pics are from San Diego last Fall, we had a great time touring the USS Midway. Enjoy!

Got Sketch 101

I have enjoyed Valerie Salmon's Sketch blog for a while now, but when they said they were going to have an "Online class", well, I was skeptical. I waited until the day before to sign up and since then I have been so excited! They had some pre-class projects and we received our first class assignment yesterday! I love the card sketch - have made 4 different kind and love my first assignment. My first sketch is a page of a friend of mines granddaughter. For those of you who don't scrapbook, a sketch is a design guide of where to put pictures, paper and embellishments, they are like blueprints-and then we get to take it from there with our own creativity.

Do you like your feet??

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the
morning, Satan shudders & says...'Oh no....she's awake!!

I received the above "Thought for the day" last week, and I got to thinking about feet. They can be hairy, calloused, have infected toes, or smooth, with painted toes.
No matter what FEET illicit a response!
Some have a positive response: Twice in the Bible it says that “Blessed are the feet that bring good news.” Massage therapists have diagrams of the foot, showing all of the different parts of the foot and what each corresponds to in our body. Couples will rub each others feet as a sign of endearment.
Pedicures, I love to get them. The shop that I go to has nice massage chairs with a small tub attached.
Feet are useful, they take us places. We can run, walk, dance, stop and turn all because of the way they were designed. BUT..
They also receive a negative response.
The Bible tells of Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, they must have been dusty and dirty. And when you ask people to do this, most people have a negative response. One particular disciple initially refused Jesus’ offer.
Some feet stink, or get blisters. Sometimes our feet are tired and that makes us want to put our feet up!
SO take off those cute shoes you have on and take a good look!
What is your response?
Do you like your feet??

Laura Virtue's Shower

It was great to see all the fun things that Laura and Marcus will start their marriage with.

The Hostesses, Josette, Susan, Linda, the Bride: Laura, Nancy and Susan.

The Tables were gorgeous!
And even coming to the front door set the tone for the day!

Bridal Shower Favors

I recently made these for Laura Virtues' Bridal

Shower that was held today!!

These were the favors for all the guest to

take home. Hopefully, they will keep them

in their purse and whenever they need a

mint they will have one!!

These were made on the computer and

then cut and tied together with the

ribbon. More pics from the shower

to follow!!

Susan's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Susan!!

Just a few years ago,(34) my mom came over to Seaton Hall at K-State, where I was in a design class. I can recognize my moms footsteps and glanced up to see her motioning me to come out in the hallway. When I got out there she told me I was an Aunt, to a baby girl named Susan!!

Born on Valentine's Day! So today I wish my sweet niece, Susan, shown above with her daughter Payton, a Very Happy Birthday!! Love ya!!

Cupcake Flags

A couple of weeks ago I helped with a baby shower for a friend
of mine. She is awaiting her first grandchild (a girl). So I made
cupcakes with these cute flags. I made the flags on my computer
and cut them out, glued them to a toothpick and tied the bow on
them. We all thought they turned out so cute!!
Isn't the table so cute with the cupcake tower and the
"diaper cake"?

Welcome to my Blog
