I have been trying to lose weight, but it seems to keep finding me....lol... I had done really great on the weight loss thing before Christmas, but ever since I have been struggling. I know it's all me and that blaming it on situations doesn't work, but sometimes it makes me feel better. <br /><br />I am still down between 30 to 40 lbs from my original weight, so I guess I just need to jump back on before gaining it all back....right???<br /><br />I didn't really post today to talk about that though, so to the cards we go!! I have been having some fun making Valentine's cards. I do some at home and then I joined a Stampin' Up! stamp club and have been making cards and projects with my wonderful demonstator, Pat!! I love that Pat comes up with the projects and once a month I just have to show up and make them. It's so great because I love all different kinds of cards, but find that sometimes mine are all the same. This gives me a different perspective and I get to have some fun with 8 wonderful ladies all at the same time!!<br /><br />I will post pictures of my cards, and then hopefully later today get some pictures of the ones that were made with my demo. <br /><br />Here's the first batch....<br /><br />These first 3 cards are made with beautiful <a href="http://highhopesstamps.com/">High Hopes images</a>!! They even have a <a href="http://highhopesstamps.blogspot.com/">Valentine's blog challenge</a> going on right now, so I would like to enter these in that challenge.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48gr4LPdHPgjGSmJWrK6gSuXh-l1HR3pLkxqM3TLWXeI-mHmzLZtW1jJjv1ipoNR3old7T94lD9EbKzkGR13SQp6W9hpM8Pk7oLz8bLYWaQMaTtPTTBm2v1ExIycHjUozyI30RodrKpk/s1600/Ellie.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811762403318290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48gr4LPdHPgjGSmJWrK6gSuXh-l1HR3pLkxqM3TLWXeI-mHmzLZtW1jJjv1ipoNR3old7T94lD9EbKzkGR13SQp6W9hpM8Pk7oLz8bLYWaQMaTtPTTBm2v1ExIycHjUozyI30RodrKpk/s400/Ellie.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-sYEAtTr6EPobzcyxX7Odtggh7fFmey2podFr-eIx9lbM4F7sj_TC4Mpkqd-SmbIURRBMA-5rZklP58tUIjgI3cf1rdLc7PYwjI65gx4GkyjsrnrM3N6e_gLaDlEpKBB3BjIUnSAIqE/s1600/toad+love.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811629227133074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-sYEAtTr6EPobzcyxX7Odtggh7fFmey2podFr-eIx9lbM4F7sj_TC4Mpkqd-SmbIURRBMA-5rZklP58tUIjgI3cf1rdLc7PYwjI65gx4GkyjsrnrM3N6e_gLaDlEpKBB3BjIUnSAIqE/s400/toad+love.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0a2jcSXjJKQ6x6av3Z6Bz47li-jXOn2yiYZCqA37_ybPeH7oLUxnSUAaWmLXU86MiRgnmLZVTG47BgnKOZOAOhZpXHVui0KYqiNC0YSzD_dgpqdMbz21KA2IMukBcjzuNzHh3Nuqon8/s1600/toad.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811541470299666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0a2jcSXjJKQ6x6av3Z6Bz47li-jXOn2yiYZCqA37_ybPeH7oLUxnSUAaWmLXU86MiRgnmLZVTG47BgnKOZOAOhZpXHVui0KYqiNC0YSzD_dgpqdMbz21KA2IMukBcjzuNzHh3Nuqon8/s400/toad.jpg" /></a> Only 2 of these next 3 cards are Valentine's cards, the other is for a wonderful friend.

The sentiments are mostly rub-ons, that I picked up at my LSS.</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYOK5W-b7FWrZ7oTwoXXqzOVc8EKGzgHLOgMttL5vF0AjfiGANwwst07jjdqYX0becCm4l8PkMVU9zPVve3wOt14_OeZe6Fp3mcA2mGcNXTKWt_e-3nJoh7rjS1BxwCTbg3XhQPJgYag/s1600/owl.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 323px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811377278137762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYOK5W-b7FWrZ7oTwoXXqzOVc8EKGzgHLOgMttL5vF0AjfiGANwwst07jjdqYX0becCm4l8PkMVU9zPVve3wOt14_OeZe6Fp3mcA2mGcNXTKWt_e-3nJoh7rjS1BxwCTbg3XhQPJgYag/s400/owl.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfYFBQ4V-e_Z7ojqfnAYDm6OPI62lqum9w4S-6RG03kgXK_iBYN36Rg2mlw41nnVfa20gzBr92EFDHrJ6Y76gL5N9nDVe7PCEC3XoNYiNvpQ0RTCXoUzsSodPO5CBX_5-1pVDB7aBE_s/s1600/Girl.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 311px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811261042167378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfYFBQ4V-e_Z7ojqfnAYDm6OPI62lqum9w4S-6RG03kgXK_iBYN36Rg2mlw41nnVfa20gzBr92EFDHrJ6Y76gL5N9nDVe7PCEC3XoNYiNvpQ0RTCXoUzsSodPO5CBX_5-1pVDB7aBE_s/s400/Girl.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__xbbRpF5A-HYwu1POFmRNhAqNK1hLTsJGmjuEIifiTDlRyQ_6iOoL1FeKcTcOrZWjyjgKeL0n_hLCudo6SzC3Sd4nhUTVX5kNMmjhjxve5YhpHOYiCb4T6XmG5KFBE5OAFFkUfm_wEE/s1600/friend.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 387px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572811181383860242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__xbbRpF5A-HYwu1POFmRNhAqNK1hLTsJGmjuEIifiTDlRyQ_6iOoL1FeKcTcOrZWjyjgKeL0n_hLCudo6SzC3Sd4nhUTVX5kNMmjhjxve5YhpHOYiCb4T6XmG5KFBE5OAFFkUfm_wEE/s400/friend.jpg" /></a> I just realized that I can hear the birds singing outside my window.

I've still been making a few cards, just not as many as I used too, and I have given a few of them away without taking pictures....*slaps hand*...<br /><br />Anyways, I want to talk to you about this blog. I'm thinking about taking a new approach to my blogging, and hope you will stay around to visit and support me. Ya see....Over the last year or two I have had a couple of health scares. Don't worry....everything is OK - I've just had to add a couple of medications to my morning line up, but it makes me think...is this really what I want for the rest of my life? And if I don't do something now, what's going to happen in the future? When I moved to Estevan, I gained almost 100 lbs! It's time to do something - the time is now!!!<br /><br />Not only does this weight take away any chance of me ever having a baby (which is another story...for another time), it also endangers my future health.<br /><br />SO.........<br /><br />I took a big step and joined Weight Watchers! Now I am only down 12 pounds so far, but it's a start.<br /><br />I want my blog to be a place I can communicate. I will still post cards - but I am also going to post about my weight loss struggle and achievements. <br /><br />I think that by writing it down for the world to see, might keep me more accountable for my actions, and hopefully I can understand where I went wrong last time, and not make those same mistakes.<br /><br />If some of you want to leave my blog and stop following me now - I totally understand - it's not exactly what you signed up for eh??<br /><br />I hope some of you will stick around and let me know how I'm doing. You can also give me a kick in the butt when I need it. Just be gentle...<br /><br />As an added bonus, my hubby is trying to lose weight too. (he's not doing so well yet unfortunately, but it will come....he pretty much has no choice, I'm not cooking fatty foods anymore!!)<br /><br />In the next few days I will get a starting picture so you can see what I look like now, and I will try to take pictures as I go along.<br /><br />It was really hard for me to share this with you. I have this damn little voice in my head that keeps saying....what if you can't do it, what if you fall off, everyone will know now...<br />You know what though??? I have to try....that's all I can say right now. <br /><br />So, wish me luck. I have a weigh in tomorrow!!!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" style="border: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /></a>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-32436513145393593542010-06-08T06:55:00.000-06:002010-06-08T06:57:17.133-06:00Elisabeth is better!I am so happy to report that little Elisabeth is doing better.

Other years she has phoned my Mom and asked her to send some cards, so she can give them out to her friends and family. <br />Mom and I decided to beat Grandma to the punch this year, so when we went to see her in October, we took some cards and gave them to her for her birthday.<br />I took some quick pictures before I gave them to her. The lighting isn't very good, but I wanted to share my cards with you!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztkJC_P46-u7AGxGjiHMP4BS_vqemOreog1V87ceh1oyZ7TpjrCkPHFLWonO2E3yM6eBq6bXqFrZKl7ocKtF7Wh308wN2Ye7NtFF7F7qclGIxh9MRfdf6Mk3f8StxNE7CQcgP9kBRC2E/s1600-h/christmas+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422653166650376402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztkJC_P46-u7AGxGjiHMP4BS_vqemOreog1V87ceh1oyZ7TpjrCkPHFLWonO2E3yM6eBq6bXqFrZKl7ocKtF7Wh308wN2Ye7NtFF7F7qclGIxh9MRfdf6Mk3f8StxNE7CQcgP9kBRC2E/s400/christmas+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYxEtFnI_NJwqjY6UmdaHkntbJiLe5-3bVAdCST9wL437Ape31LAVxZYdX-cC2DEM1mUGNnxe2uzkGS9dhCrDnskbcyk8hZamc7GMJERDLZRtvMdqDfI4yOXBFFKnPQWTYuw3IfcErCk/s1600-h/Christmas+5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 170px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422652986129347138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYxEtFnI_NJwqjY6UmdaHkntbJiLe5-3bVAdCST9wL437Ape31LAVxZYdX-cC2DEM1mUGNnxe2uzkGS9dhCrDnskbcyk8hZamc7GMJERDLZRtvMdqDfI4yOXBFFKnPQWTYuw3IfcErCk/s400/Christmas+5.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA6P5uoJNyVOidLytSPxpJYPCUYZBza2uLcjTmXVqExfo_xesKttOP4BQ7aoicTwbNz6aNXgaATXbCDMKxEALjeiHTGU0XpokH4mFb-PE5Ue0xX2G0ex2U4eRa27IQKadJnb4xIhig_LQ/s1600-h/Christmas+4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422652784207999554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA6P5uoJNyVOidLytSPxpJYPCUYZBza2uLcjTmXVqExfo_xesKttOP4BQ7aoicTwbNz6aNXgaATXbCDMKxEALjeiHTGU0XpokH4mFb-PE5Ue0xX2G0ex2U4eRa27IQKadJnb4xIhig_LQ/s400/Christmas+4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmVqkfMlGY5wf5UKfGG6ePE4rRPT8L-rii1N7THba1uEcNHyq2QkZr7Y9isJSzPfkx3W0StZH_IN06CTWCK_SKOaMmffSDd-mBWxctvOArzRkfzP-3SmD3TdojY_EarvT0cRsdK3tr-s/s1600-h/Christmas+3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 165px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422652515571254130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmVqkfMlGY5wf5UKfGG6ePE4rRPT8L-rii1N7THba1uEcNHyq2QkZr7Y9isJSzPfkx3W0StZH_IN06CTWCK_SKOaMmffSDd-mBWxctvOArzRkfzP-3SmD3TdojY_EarvT0cRsdK3tr-s/s400/Christmas+3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgPxaZ9113QceeU_URgLp7W79kljF5yp7I0zZfH0XIK0GVPioE6N4af9uK55IdcrEVT_z2KSjn8hQ4pNCyJv_QxnteIoPb5ovSHXIWFp0Jxe8AUQIljfog6zHN3PGx8U8UBTU422q178/s1600-h/Christmas+1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 168px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422652274769849298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgPxaZ9113QceeU_URgLp7W79kljF5yp7I0zZfH0XIK0GVPioE6N4af9uK55IdcrEVT_z2KSjn8hQ4pNCyJv_QxnteIoPb5ovSHXIWFp0Jxe8AUQIljfog6zHN3PGx8U8UBTU422q178/s400/Christmas+1.jpg" /></a> I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!! </div><div> </div><div>And I wish everyone of you the best in 2010!!</div><div> </div><div>Hugs,</div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a></div></div></div>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-444126295794935592009-11-02T13:17:00.001-06:002009-11-02T13:45:29.435-06:00Late halloween cards!!I know it's a couple of days past halloween, but this is the first chance I got to take some pictures. I wish I had more room and a brighter craft room, so picture taking would be easier. It always seems to be a big process so I don't take pics very often. Unfortunately that means that sometimes you have to wait to see the cards too! Sorry about that....I will try to get better!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDdYlSV40l7whkaPKkIQzSYJL-WSCHHaZ7W0Rry_2p3eX9U-B8N6kfxnrQO7j_9NGGhv6S3LWY0sQHAEk-iS4TnTJSWXxSzNWQewiiEp0uSTy-e2zwIYGrJ5CYDfYpap8eP4QfdLUnU60/s1600-h/trick+or+treat+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 392px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399588288705548946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDdYlSV40l7whkaPKkIQzSYJL-WSCHHaZ7W0Rry_2p3eX9U-B8N6kfxnrQO7j_9NGGhv6S3LWY0sQHAEk-iS4TnTJSWXxSzNWQewiiEp0uSTy-e2zwIYGrJ5CYDfYpap8eP4QfdLUnU60/s400/trick+or+treat+2.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz10M1Sel7tr3wQZWjJ9eG2Mt6X8DnNuJ0ixPU6HU-GqVpoOaC0hYUuciXgByyHX4bCwn6niF6OALid6H-WgeTfibgZFx4_3f812DCM8VXZe-_7gkhUUspeyHdgVkZrNUNMtgy92O82VE/s1600-h/Trick+or+treat.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 385px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399588120571225362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz10M1Sel7tr3wQZWjJ9eG2Mt6X8DnNuJ0ixPU6HU-GqVpoOaC0hYUuciXgByyHX4bCwn6niF6OALid6H-WgeTfibgZFx4_3f812DCM8VXZe-_7gkhUUspeyHdgVkZrNUNMtgy92O82VE/s400/Trick+or+treat.jpg" /></a> These first 2 cards were made using digital images from <a href="http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=650">C.C.

Sometimes I don't even get a second to look at the computer. I do have some cards for you to take a look at! I decided to post most of what I have right now, becuase some of them are getting so old, that it took me forever to figure out if I posted them already or not!<br /><br />Three of these card feature images from Magnolia, and the other is a Gorjuss girl image. If you have any questions on any of these cards, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section, or email me.<br /><br />Thank you to all of you who leave me regular comments....You are the best!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbdsh_5X_1s5xZXzjgOZtRHALypfKrYTLRy8AceHzkqoDkIY8x0PTDM4KaoEf18m570k79HtADeU3uc1sLcwg3S7TS_JInjP84l-g5dMn5ko08c0YPOtRgn6ZdIjWH26HK22GagqZY-Hs/s1600-h/Magnolia+water.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 379px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393934640529708802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbdsh_5X_1s5xZXzjgOZtRHALypfKrYTLRy8AceHzkqoDkIY8x0PTDM4KaoEf18m570k79HtADeU3uc1sLcwg3S7TS_JInjP84l-g5dMn5ko08c0YPOtRgn6ZdIjWH26HK22GagqZY-Hs/s400/Magnolia+water.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQ31BmIeNbg7uHAFVj-9PccMUto8JgQl0A0X9Kk5uI29m6oibWI_CRdmARD6mYBBLyVybGOhyFYS6EOUg6FIote6jtgdprgcAbfHIY3MOWva2FuVLbA7RGFke-lb5sDW4h5ymlSpGrvs/s1600-h/Magnolia+flowers.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 391px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391009673937984066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQ31BmIeNbg7uHAFVj-9PccMUto8JgQl0A0X9Kk5uI29m6oibWI_CRdmARD6mYBBLyVybGOhyFYS6EOUg6FIote6jtgdprgcAbfHIY3MOWva2FuVLbA7RGFke-lb5sDW4h5ymlSpGrvs/s400/Magnolia+flowers.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigl9yGzppDx9Em6K_c54N0vYxmKwQv_ARL1h0kMS1HehBr3iCz1hhpD966Vqd154CW-UNEO2cKlosRtEP_5UjBweshiSGAIJsRDR5yv9m4UEgt9B4eZwwgYWTP9ONjAoD-QcVipUuMzrI/s1600-h/Gorjuss+girl.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 382px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391009304667258706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigl9yGzppDx9Em6K_c54N0vYxmKwQv_ARL1h0kMS1HehBr3iCz1hhpD966Vqd154CW-UNEO2cKlosRtEP_5UjBweshiSGAIJsRDR5yv9m4UEgt9B4eZwwgYWTP9ONjAoD-QcVipUuMzrI/s400/Gorjuss+girl.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI_JMR3ZbjVIzbeJ4_nDvdxFInhEeBA437s2xIJddUFsmDMr9YqmrTg7I_97VXnZ9R2L7FNnqTRvzulIDfiMIqImc4d_GZmd7fWHXDmARc4DZTeHmrXTN-YwNOy3AVbC-nH0Q7ynAphjE/s1600-h/Thinking+of+you.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391008967295332818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI_JMR3ZbjVIzbeJ4_nDvdxFInhEeBA437s2xIJddUFsmDMr9YqmrTg7I_97VXnZ9R2L7FNnqTRvzulIDfiMIqImc4d_GZmd7fWHXDmARc4DZTeHmrXTN-YwNOy3AVbC-nH0Q7ynAphjE/s400/Thinking+of+you.jpg" /></a>Have a wonderful day!!<br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a></div></div></div></div>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-28575722202023144402009-08-30T21:03:00.000-06:002009-08-30T21:14:44.372-06:00Another gorjuss birthday card!I just love gorjuss girls!!

I wish there were more hours in a day sometimes. </p><p>I think I colored this image with copics as the base and then prismacolor pencils.

It's always amazing to see how caring everyone is!!<br /><br /><br />On to another subject....I am on holidays!! I have all of this week off!! I just got back from visiting my Mom, Ila, and now I am hoping to get some cards done this week.

I've made some amazing friends since I moved to Estevan, and the friends that I'm closest to, had a huge death in the family yesterday. My friends Dad was out farming and a bale of hay fell on him and crushed him, killing him. I am in total shock, and just don't feel like we can do enough for this wonderful family. I've been thinking about how I would feel if I lost one of my parents, and I can't even bear to think about it. I can't even imagine what they must be going through, because this is going to change their whole life, now they may have to sell their house in town and move out to the farm, so they can take care of the farm, because there is no one else who can. I can't believe how a persons life can change in minutes!!!<br />I know that my husband and I will be praying for strength for this young family, and we know that God will guide them in the very difficult decisions they are going to have to make.<br /><br />Now on to something happier!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdU9HHJjbkgmLsOfS1DD-mWC23OOgorSUB29wz6_Er9gbMyGNG6PNlQtL6ksAPTdDPtvKYPd84MYCRQjKjOezhjJyymbu6bPLWWT5F7jIlmlJlGyMyjAZGCW3bCi-_svDYRXNQDZpCs8/s1600-h/Tent+card.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362645340492442866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdU9HHJjbkgmLsOfS1DD-mWC23OOgorSUB29wz6_Er9gbMyGNG6PNlQtL6ksAPTdDPtvKYPd84MYCRQjKjOezhjJyymbu6bPLWWT5F7jIlmlJlGyMyjAZGCW3bCi-_svDYRXNQDZpCs8/s400/Tent+card.jpg" /></a>After watching my amazing Mother make tent card after tent card, I thought that maybe I should try it out!

My Mom actually phoned me today, and asked when I was going to post, so I thought I better get one up. I do have a few cards to share and hopefully you will get to see them all in the next couple of weeks.<br /><br />This first card I gave to my Mom for Mother's Day. And the second card I made for her for her birthday in May. If you need any details on either of these cards please email me.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLt8qmD982MBOjYN_1rBfsjgd_8ZVMj0O6aZKf4dJu9wsrYCXhxRpH3jYZq95fRyyzzLXhnK3GTT4ZjzTXsNMwT-4tm-grJX5yt431pkObZquOQ8uxSdl8M2myPGiM5pPowsaxBoDZfu8/s1600-h/Mom's+mothers+day+card.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 391px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355135075503965266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLt8qmD982MBOjYN_1rBfsjgd_8ZVMj0O6aZKf4dJu9wsrYCXhxRpH3jYZq95fRyyzzLXhnK3GTT4ZjzTXsNMwT-4tm-grJX5yt431pkObZquOQ8uxSdl8M2myPGiM5pPowsaxBoDZfu8/s400/Mom's+mothers+day+card.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQWz11UvlQXZ7vSFqgrXarXRGq1D03wVD0tg3xo2iVcYb8MH5hMFI9i6t5wrpmKAZyaHbsO0iFOPAC3wW-aNft2JbQA_osfRnY2hdoB75xMUzyuATczrJ2BCJVQIF5JTfAlEPy1EU7tg/s1600-h/Mom's+card.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 307px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355134950849528226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQWz11UvlQXZ7vSFqgrXarXRGq1D03wVD0tg3xo2iVcYb8MH5hMFI9i6t5wrpmKAZyaHbsO0iFOPAC3wW-aNft2JbQA_osfRnY2hdoB75xMUzyuATczrJ2BCJVQIF5JTfAlEPy1EU7tg/s400/Mom's+card.jpg" /></a>Have a great week!<br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a></div></div>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-57168838553495653392009-04-28T21:45:00.000-06:002009-04-28T21:53:04.416-06:00Quick post again!Hello girls! <br />Sorry that i've been MIA so long again.

The image I bought at <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=668">Funky Kits</a> and is a <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=668">Leanne Ellis design</a>. I did the coloring with prismacolor pencils and a bit of copics.<br />In other news.....we bought a couch and loveseat last weekend! They are leather, and recline on both sides of both pieces. I have hardly seen my husband get off the couch since we bought it! We also bought a 46 inch TV and a beautiful tv stand. Now if I could just get my hubby to finish the windows in the living room.....then that room would be finished!!<br /><br />Well, now I am off to bed...gotta get up in 6 hours!! <br />Have a great week!!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-53835232248531157722009-04-12T21:29:00.001-06:002009-04-12T21:40:05.443-06:00Happy Easter<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNAL0o68tL7kRXlg7V0eD9wC8SBPTqkWJPgriTanpEmDPmXHHE__oPyDY0Ja8tWJ_wDibvWrrVVsJKswWBvMsLgAe5-OYgnUwAa8LyQPc7zsLHaast_Byxwkr6rr56CpR7ohyphenhyphenWHHc64kw/s1600-h/Bunny+Card.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 392px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324013180731736962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNAL0o68tL7kRXlg7V0eD9wC8SBPTqkWJPgriTanpEmDPmXHHE__oPyDY0Ja8tWJ_wDibvWrrVVsJKswWBvMsLgAe5-OYgnUwAa8LyQPc7zsLHaast_Byxwkr6rr56CpR7ohyphenhyphenWHHc64kw/s400/Bunny+Card.jpg" /></a> I was hoping to post this card when visiting my Mom & Dad this weekend...but with all the Easter meals we got way too busy! I did get to color some images with Mom last week...and we had a great supper on Saturday...and for the meal....I made the perogies. This was the first time I made perogies myself...usually I just cook them for Mom cause all of mine break! But they turned out good...and I think everyone liked them!<br />Then on Sunday we had brunch at my in-laws house....and that was great too! We had a wonderful time and some great breakfast food....including cream cheese french toast and cinnamon pull aparts. I was in heaven!!<br /><br />I just got home and still have to finish unpacking...but I didn't want to unpack till I got this card posted.<br /><br />This is one more of the cute <a href="http://www.highhopesstamps.com/catalogue-stamp.php?stamp_id=S-116&currency=1&returnto=/catalogue-pages.php?page=9+search=hotp+currency=1">High Hopes images </a>that were released a couple of months ago. If you have any other questions about this card....I would be very glad to help you out! <br /><br />I'm off to unpack and then bed...<br /><br />Have a great day!!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-42171399502267917482009-04-08T00:13:00.000-06:002009-04-09T07:46:40.324-06:00You make me smileThis card was supposed to be for the <a href="http://highhopesstamps.blogspot.com/">High Hopes challenge </a>last week.

I very good friend of mine (you know who you are...just wanted to say thanks so much!!), gave me this stamp as a gift, and I made this card a while ago, but just haven't had a chance to post it.<br /><br />I hope that posting this card means that spring is really on the way! We still have quite a bit of snow here yet, so until the snow is gone...to me it still feels like winter!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwrsTeWXRduWczFSUiG_3ZQ2CfztVC8KwD6xaNHhUP0u4Ife5JuMUerD7fKqulWyj2bB2lDGpn9teAAhGFJmFcn49XAr7TfegmFjvImVxcpznkPzcnYJ-u1uLEVLZa2D8YK2ujarIFi4/s1600-h/Hanglar+birthday.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 383px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321769125949367298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwrsTeWXRduWczFSUiG_3ZQ2CfztVC8KwD6xaNHhUP0u4Ife5JuMUerD7fKqulWyj2bB2lDGpn9teAAhGFJmFcn49XAr7TfegmFjvImVxcpznkPzcnYJ-u1uLEVLZa2D8YK2ujarIFi4/s400/Hanglar+birthday.jpg" /></a><strong><u>Stamps:</u></strong> Hanglar, HOTP matching borders & focals<br /><strong><u>Inks:</u></strong> Memento black, copic markers, prismacolor pencils and OMS, white gel pen<br /><strong><u>Paper:</u></strong> bazill cs, georgia pacific cs, MME Out & About<br /><strong><u>Accessories:</u></strong> prima flowers, glitter brad, may arts ribbon<br /><br />For the rest of the week I am hoping to color some images with my Mom. I'm on holidays right now, and don't go back to work until next Monday. I'm heading home on Wednesday morning...and I can't wait. We just don't get to spend enough time together anymore!! <br />My husband and I just gave both of our dogs a bath...so they smell good when we go home, and we are going to be busy packing tomorrow to leave. <br /><br />I have been so bad at looking at blogs these last few weeks. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten to your blog. I am taking a peek...but sometimes it just takes so long to comment....I'm hope you understand. I will try to get better again when I get back from Melville. I am hoping to get another post up before I leave, cause I've got another easter card almost done. <br /><br />In case I don't get my card posted, I wish everyone a very happy easter. And I hope that you get together with family this weekend!!<br />Take care!!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/116/4CA3E5EFF5A7D0AB5804E58EBD2962DE.png" /></a>Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12299671061786031361noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196779486541115442.post-16065181953115782192009-03-24T06:33:00.000-06:002009-03-24T06:59:32.338-06:00Hoppy Easter!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0yoTe34GwcCxvu4IUHRyPVX3ObTG5Z4lXP1MMGgiTf8FBMbu1SoG86lnLif47pYuLO5HtvStODTN046v_ldQUSuXhza0XcD6ycxhyvt4Fb6ctPvllE7lbhInqzBhr2Sv126asP6FdWM/s1600-h/Bunny+Easter.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 371px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316731989352085826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0yoTe34GwcCxvu4IUHRyPVX3ObTG5Z4lXP1MMGgiTf8FBMbu1SoG86lnLif47pYuLO5HtvStODTN046v_ldQUSuXhza0XcD6ycxhyvt4Fb6ctPvllE7lbhInqzBhr2Sv126asP6FdWM/s400/Bunny+Easter.jpg" /></a> I made this card for the <a href="http://highhopesstamps.blogspot.com/">High Hopes challenge </a>this week.
