Cards and more cards

A good friend of mine has asked me to make a new posting and another good friend has given my name to someone who would like to see some, so here are a few I've made lately. Enjoy!

The Birthday Boy!

The delight of my life!!!!

Staying Busy!

You can say it! Staying busy is a good thing! I've been doing some workshops at my local scrapbook store "Scrapbook N Such" in Longview Tx. If you are in the area check it out. I really do neglect my blog, but it is because I stay busy. One reason is my beautiful, the cutest, most adorable grandson EVER! He brings more joy to our lives that can ever be told. He just turned 1. Happy 1st Birthday Alex! Nonie loves you soooooooooo much!

Long time, no see!

Yea, it's really me. I have some loyal fans out there I have ignored. Just going to post a few cards I've made lately. Enjoy!

Just a little more....

Surprise, Surprise! I can't believe I'm back again so soon! Tried to get out today and do some weeding around the house in my little garden areas. You know what? It is still hot outside. Let's just say, I didn't stay too long. Daisy, Minnie, and Tigger were looking at me like "mama, what are you thinking?" I decided real quick they needed me indoors with them. Even Tigger, that little scamp, was standing still just long enough to look at me like I was crazy. Just decided to share a few more cards I've made for my monthly swap group. Enjoy!

Still Here!

You've proably figured out by now I'm not very good at this blogging thing. You can see what's been on my mind lately. His name is Alex! Ain't he just the cutest thing you ever saw? Going to show you tonight just a few of the cards I've made lately. I will admit I've been scrapping more than stamping. OH NO! Yes, it's true!
You know I just love my colored pencils, I have delved into the world of Copic markers. Oh my gosh! Don't say it too loud, but I love those things. They are so much fun! The cards I'm showing you tonight are done with copics. Enjoy!

Hot!

It is really, really, HOT here in Northeast Texas. We have had several 100+ days, and with our humidity, it is HORRID! My heart goes out to anyone who has to work out in this heat. Take a minute and check on the elderly in your family or neighbors, or just anyone you think my need assistance in this heat. Very importantly, check on your pets that may stay outside. They need plenty of water and shelter from the sun. On to other things! My new grandson has inspired me to scrapbook again, and he gives me the perfect subject. He is absolutely ADORABLE, and I'm not in the least prejudice. (hehe) Take a look at some of the pages I've done....

Birthdays

With spring, our family has birthdays coming. Most of my families birthdays are in the spring and summer months, except my oldest son, he is a Christmas baby. We were having wonderful warm weather, and then we had our usual Easter cold spell. My prayers are with all of our norhtern neighbors who are having some winter related problems. I'm posting one of my birthday cards I made. I'm still experimenting with copic markers. I'm really growing fond of these markers. If they just were not so darn expensive! If you look around on the web, you can find some places who have them 25% off of the regular price, and I also use my coupon at Hobby Lobby. WooHoo! We are getting a bigger, newer Hobby Lobby in mid April. On this card I used a Stampin Up stamp set, my copics, and a Martha Stewart punch. Sorry, I don't know who made the patterned paper. Enjoy!

Happy Spring!

The usual East Texas weather going on!! Warm days, cool days, cold days, stormy days..... Whatever! But you know, warmer weather means yard work. Ugh! Do I really want to do that? The Spring does mean I get to pull out some of my all time favorite Penney Black stamps. Don't you just love those hedgehogs! I've been playing with the copic markers again, and they are really fun. I think one thing I like about them is coloring goes faster. Here a couple of cards I've made this weekend. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Weekend. Enjoy....

Happy Heart Day!

I guess Valentines's Day is right up there with my favorite day for card making. I guess because it is such a happy day. We should tell our love ones we love them so much everyday. Happy Valentine's Day to all of my loved ones, and my friends. I have some of the best friends. They are so supporting, encouraging, and always there to listen to my whining, and here lately that is everyday. Here are some of the Valentine cards for my kids. I have the worst time making masculine Valentine Cards, and since I have one sweet daughter-in-law and one sweet granddaughter, and and 2 sons, 2 grandsons and only one husband (lol), you would think I could do this. Girls are so much more fun! Oh, how could I forget, my 2 babygirls! The Chihuahuas! Our new little baby boy Chihuahua, is proving to be quite the scamp. When we first got him, he was such a sick little baby. After great care by our vet who just happens to be the best vet in the world. Dr. Susan Little, and her staff is the best! We are not use to such little antics. He chews on everything! I caught him chewing on one of my stamps. HOW did he get it? He has torn up one of my Paper Crafting magazines, chewed up a houseshoe, some of the toys my girls have had for years. He is 3lbs. of terror, but oh so cute! Back to the Valentine cards. Oh, I colored these with my copic markers! No, I'm not abandoning my beloved pencils, but these markers are so much fun. Here they are! Enjoy!

Hoot Hello!

Yes, it's been awhile. Alot has happened around the house lately. We've added some rather new exciting additions to our family. I am now a grandmother and a new mommy. Don't panic! Let me explain: We rescued a little baby boy, a new brother for my girls. Hes' such a cutie, and just as sweet. Meet Tigger a 3lb. Chihuahua. My husband doesn't feel quite so outnumbered now. Although I was the only girl for years. We have two wonderful sons. One of whom became a daddy on January 26th. Alex Craig Evers, 8lbs 1oz. 20 3/4 inches long. Of course, I included a picture. I have had a little time lately to do some stamping. So let me share with you what I've done.... Both of these stamps can be found at BStamps & Stuff. Enjoy!

Bigger Ut Oh!

I told you it was the blogger!!! You can reach me at lorievers@att.net.

Ut Oh!

I was having trouble with my blog yesterday and I suddenly realized there is no post with the cards I posted yesterday. More than likely it was the blogger not the blog! I have had some major Christmas mojo going and I made more Christmas cards than I'm going to send out. If you like any of these contact me about purchasing them, otherwise enjoy!

Happy Pumpkin Day

My son recently married and I have had the pleasure of not only getting a great daughter-in-law but two amazing step grandchildren. Woo Hoo! They both love art and fell in love with my junky craft room. Bless their hearts they have no idea what they are getting into. I made these cards for them for Thanksgiving. This is an older Darcies stamp that I've always adored. Of course, I colored with my beloved pencils and went out on a limb here and added color with copic markers. For having only a few colors and hardly any practice, I don't think I did too bad. It was quite fun, but I hope I haven't jumped off into the deep end here! These little boogers are expensive, but fun. Enjoy and Happy Pumpkin Day!

My Little Trick or Treaters!

OH MY GOSH! Are they not the cutest little Tricksters you ever seen? I will not have time for a post tomorrow night, so I'm posting my last Halloween pics. HAPPY HALLOWEEN from Daisy & Minnie and Me of course.

etc...etc...etc....

More Halloween.....

More Halloween

I still can't believe it's only a few days till Halloween. All of the stores have had Halloween stuff on clearance for a couple of weeks now. Oh My! I have so much fun making Halloween cards and I'm going to try and share some of them with you. So here goes!

Legs from the Witch!

Only Carol will understand the title of this post. Just for you Carol! Really, I loaned this card to my good friend Bonnie to show at BStamps & Stuff. To make a long story short, I took it back to early. My good friend Carol got on to me for taking it too early. So per her request, here it is.
It was a really fun card to make. These stamps are just too darn cute! They are from Northwoods and I colored them with my beloved pencils. I'm sorry I don't have the DP manufacturer. I got the last piece and I don't have the name. Please Enjoy!

All wrapped up!

Can you believe Halloween will be here in just a couple of weeks? How this year has flown. Of course, I have a Halloween card to share with you today. I think you'll agree these little mummies are the cutest. My mummy is from Penney Black as is the sentiment. I loved sharing him or her with you. Smiles......
