My baby nephew turns 13 tomorrow. It is hard to find an image for a 13 year old! I looked through my stash to see what was available besides flowers. There was this cute little frog smiling at me just wanting to be colored. I used the weekly challenge from Split Coast Stampers.

Anniversary and Birthday Cards
This card was made for my high school BF and her husband. They celebrated their 27th (I think) anniversary on the 17th. It was created using this pattern on SplitCoastStampers.
Today is my mother's birthday. We had my family over and we had hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch.
I just love this little flamingo (& my mommy). It was designed using this sketch from SplitCoastStampers.

Branson, Missouri
Several weekends ago, we traveled to Branson, Missouri. They have an amusement park called, "Silver Dollar City". Here are my 3 riding Wildfire. It loops several times upside down. Something I refuse to do.
Here are the boys getting ready to ride "Powder Keg". Heads need to be facing foward because it really takes off FAST.
Next are family shots in front of a pumpkin tree.
We had a great time and of course, there is plenty of shopping in Branson too.

Anniversary Card
Recently, my husband and I celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary. Here is the card I made for him. The colors in the card reflect the colors we had in our wedding, pink and gray.

This cute little stamp is with the Fluffles group by Stampendous. It reminds me of my little baby kitty.

Things Are Getting Spooky Around Here!
A few cards I have been making. The first idea came from Split Coast Stampers challenge. This one I came up on my own!
This one is from several blogs put together.
Watch out friends and family, one of these cards may make it to your house this fall.

ATC Swap
I joined an ATC Swap on Split Coast Stampers. We were to create 10 cards to swap. The lady that was hosting this swap was doing it to give the cards to her mother for her birthday. She said her mother loved the cards and can't stop looking at them.

Various Cards
I usually photograph the cards I have been making but, thanks to Ike, it is raining pretty hard outside. I also like to take the pictures outside for better lighting. Tonight I used the scanner.
On the WRAK group with Split Coast Stampers, we exchange stamped images. This little turtle is by Whipper Snapper Designs called "Take The Cake".
This little guy is also a WRAK image from Whipper Snapper Designs called "Birthday Monster". The card design is SCS sketch challenge 193.
I actually own this next stamp! I bought it at Archivers in Colorado Springs. Archivers is a scrapbook store that is in several different cities - just not where I live! It is a Stampendous stamp called "Changito Bday".
Also at Split Coast Stampers on the RAK group, there was a Labor Day Challenge. The challenge is to make cards and donate them to our Armed Forces so our troops can send cards back to their families and loved ones at home. This is one of the cards I will be donating. They are trying to have 3,000 cards donated. I will be sending 3!
They did this challenge on the 4th of July weekend and received 2,000 cards.

Cards, cards and more cards
Last weekend on Split Coast Stampers, they had a Labor Day Challenge. The challenge was for people to make cards and then send them to an assigned person, who will send them to our troops overseas. They are sent blank and then the troops can pick the card they want to send back to family members. I am a very slow card maker and so far I have 2 to send. The first 2 shown, I will be sending for the challenge. I had originally made this card for the Split Coast Stampers Labor Day Challenge, but my husband chose it for his sister's birthday. I guess he liked it!!!
I celebrated my birthday recently and here are all the cards I received. I received 12 from family and friends and 18 from the BRAK (Birthday Random Acts of Kindness) group that I have joined on Split Coast Stampers. It was fun to receive so many different cards from all over the U.S., even from Canada!
Here is the bracelet my honey and kids gave me for by birthday! Thank you honey.....

RAK cards I have received
I have joined a RAK group (Random Acts of Kindness) on Split Coast Stampers and we send handmade cards and stamped images to each other.
After joining, I received cards for members from the "Welcoming Committee". Here are a few I received. The card below was from my "mentor". She helps me learn about the RAK group.
It is fun to receive other things in the mail besides -----bills-----
