Card Time...

Things have been CRAZY around here, but in the mean time I made a couple cards.  The first one is for my Grandma Lucy who was diagnosed with breast cancer and just had surgery a week ago to remove the tumor.  So, far she is going great!  And she is "90 years old"!!!

The second card is for my niece who turned "20 years old" at the end of January.  I can't believe she is '20' already.  She was only 8-9 when I first met here and then married into the family.  

Blessings to all of you today!

Grandma likes her Cardinals.

Happy Birthday, Tera!

The hop theme today is crafty anniversary.   I took me awhile to decide on what to prepare to celebrate Samantha's first anniversary with her blog.  And what a fantastic blog it is, I might add!  She has so many great ideas and has come a long way in the past year with her blog.  So, I finally decided on a HUGE shout out to her for her special day.  Hope you enjoy and Congratulations Samantha!!

Decision Time

I can't stand it anymore.... I decided I am going to enter this card for a Design Team Call.   I hope they like!

I made the card for the groom at a bridal shower who was getting a gift.

As I look at it now, I would like to have used a more"Fred Flintstone" saying, such as "Wife good", but I did not know the groom that well, so I went more simple.

Hope I made the right decision.  I used my Cricut and Cricut Imagine, Tim Holtz distressing ink, Peachy Keen Stamps with a white gel pen for the eyes, and red glittery stickles.

My 1st Blog Hop!

I am so excited!!  I get to be in my first blog hop coming up in few weeks.  So watch for it....
I am also trying my hand at applying for some Design Teams.  I am excited and nervous at the same time.  It is so hard to choose from my all my lay outs and cards.
Here are a couple to choose from....Do you have any thoughts?

We are EXPANDING!!

.. Kindive,
Ms. HiltonLife and I, have always had a competitive nature about what we've wanted to express. 

Me?  Im just a venting kind of person.  Blogging has been my outlet for the Marines, for Working stressful nights in the E.R., for unique family experiences that force me to grow and look deeply into my spirit to best address a child rearing issue.. (Ie; my child did, this, NOW what do I do??"

My Dear Ms. HiltonLife, should be a professional scrapbooker.  She's amazing at everything she touches, and yet, she rarely speaks of these gifts.  Gifts with family, relationships, relating with God, Growing as a Christian woman, and of course; SCRAPBOOKING... 

So, Im going to attempt to turn over the reins to Ms. HiltonLife for alot of the 'HiltonLife.blogspot.com' posting..  She'll crush it.  -Im going to go on a tangent over on 'TheRealHilton.blogspot.com'. Or, simply, TheREALHiltons.com..
Tess will pick it up as soon as I can persuede her to show her talents off.!!! She is really amazing!

With that being said, me, "Mr. HiltonLife", I'm not bidding 'adieu' quite yet, but soon.
 
With this little change, It'll allow me to REALLY decompress some cool and unique E.R. Stories, USMC tales, and Lifehacker/McGuyver tips to really motivate.

Thanks again folks!  Till Tomorrow friends,
-Carl
