Welcome to Camp Create! Today’s Craft – Glitzy Glitter

Hello, friends!  I am playing along in the MFT Camp Create, 

 Simon Says: Animal Magic

I used Lawn fawn sliders as the other was sold out, they both work. 

You see an extra line on the slider because I messed up my stamping. 

Always stamp before you add foam tape, 

or use fun foam. I glittered the ears with fine Martha Stewart glitter.

I have a non crafty story to share with you.

I was driving with two of my granddaughters, yesterday . As soon as they got in the car Delaney 10yrs. started talking very fast and I couldn’t , hear or understand one of her words. She was telling me she had to give something away because she is too big for it now and that she will share it with someone that doesn’t have one. 

I reluctantly told her I didn’t hear what it was that she was giving away.  With a bit of sass and frustration she spelled out a GEEP !!! I have to give away my GEEP !! I said oh you had to give away your Jeep (motorized jeep) because you outgrew it and now you will share it with someone else. I told her that was so smart to spell it out for me and how proud of her I was!  Then told her it was spelled with a J!

 The reason this brought so much joy to me is because as many of you already know Delaney has Down Syndrome! The tongue can be a big problem with speech and often the reason why it is difficult to understand someone with DS. But I love that she did her best to spell it out for me.

 She asked her mom about a month ago why everyone always says they don’t understand her. Well, she does talk fast, my daughter told her you mean like me-ma and papa? She said they just can’t hear very well.( thanks Nicole)  She said MOM the kids at school can her but they don’t understand me, sometimes!! Oh that broke our hearts!  I was filled with so much joy other day when all on her own she found a way to make me understand! 

 How I love that girl and the pure JOY that she is! She works so  hard, for everything that is simple to us. Emma, her 11yr old sister was just as happy for her as I was.  I love them!

Thank you for letting me share with you today.

We can all find the joy around us!

Sequin Shaker Blog Hop

Good Morning!

I made this for, Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop early this morning. 

Loved the tip of using double layers of foam tape so there is more room for the sequins to move around.

There are a few things I would like to do over on this card, like the fox is up in the air and not quite sitting on the log…. No, wait.. he is behind the log!  This will be going to a child so he will just be happy shaking it. I used a mix of products on this one. The sequins are all from Pretty Pink Posh , and I love them!

 I also wanted to wish a very sweet friend Happy Birthday!

Thanks again Mrs. Party Planner Joyce!

Christina Is a sweet friend that I got to know from our 12 kits group. Christina is always so thoughtful and kind! When I grow up I would like to make cards just like her!  :) 

On limited time this week I thought I would try a few things : try and  Case one of Christina’s Cards , use the  PTI trees my sweet friend  Nancy sent me, and use this Lawn Fawn  snowman from another sweet friend  Sharron. This is what I came up with, not my normal style but a mix of a few things. 

Seize the Birthday with some Texture

Hope you have a wonderful day Christina!

Dynamic Duos

Link Up for Pink

Diana from DL Art

I saw this link from Joyce’s blog. I had about 30 min to make and post…wow that was fast for me. 

I used my Lawn Fawn Leaves and my favorite sentiment stamp from WMS Big Day - Today . I made a few cards that I will be posting on the 5th and I did an inlay like this

 one so the idea was at least fast. 

 Thanks for stopping by.

Sympathy and Happy Birthday

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

I took the insider online class. It was the first time I ever took a card making class. It was nice to see new ways to dress up the inside of the card.

This one is masked and watercolored with pencils . 

I used my favorite sentiment: Big Day - Today from WMS.

 The flower is from Hero Arts, leaves from Papertrey Ink.

Inside of card and below is the little box

 I made to make it pop up

For this one I used my new Lawn Fawn set and some new

 Zig shimmer pens. This little crocodile wobblies if you touch him. I had to put the circle behind it so you could  not see the 

Action Wobble Springs Wobblers 

 Thanks for stoping by and I hope you have a great week!
