Test

I’m trying a new app that will allow me to post pictures. This is just a test to see if it works!

Convention!!

It’s Convention time in Salt Lake City! I’m getting ready to board a plane in about an hour! I’ve spent weeks working on my swaps and I still haven’t finished! Yikes! Looks like my evenings will be a bit busy finishing them up. My daughter Erin was visiting this week and she helped me every chance she could with my swaps! Thank you, Erin!!!! I will be taking lots and lots of pictures while I’m at Convention and will post them in the coming weeks. I’m not sure if I can do it on my iPad so I will have to wait until I get home! Have a wonderful week!! Tracy

Another Tie Card

Happy Monday!  Here is another Origami Tie card.  I used Summer Smooches DSP for my tie with Island Indigo for the shirt.  I attached the shirt to Daffodil Delight cardstock.  I thought the shirt looked very blah so of course, I ran it through my Big Shot, as I did with my card yesterday. 

Have a great rest of the day and thank you for stopping by!

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there!  My card today could be used as a Father’s Day card or a birthday card for your favorite guy. My Stamp Club group made this card this week in honor of Father’s Day.  My wonderful father passed away in October 2009 and this is the first time since then that I’ve been able to make a card for my group at this time of year.  Time certainly helps but it is still such an awful empty feeling.  I have wonderful memories of my dad. I never, ever doubted his love for me.  Here’s a picture of me with my dad and my daughters.  It was 25 years ago but I love it.  I was living in Florida at the time and my dad came out to visit us on my birthday. 

If you’ve lost your dad, I hope your memories are helping you today.  If you still are able to enjoy your dad, let him know how much you love him!

Tomorrow I will have another version of my Origami Tie card.  If you want to know how to make one, just google origami tie and lots of directions will pop up.  If you can’t find one, just let me know and I will post a link.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Cute Heart Framelits Bear

How cute is this little guy??!!! He was pretty easy to make using the new Hearts Framelits and several punches.  I saw him on my upline’s blog, Dawn Griffith.  She sent me a smaller version and I knew I just had to make one for myself. 
On June 8th, I will be officially retired from teaching.  I’ve taught for 22 years and it still seems a bit unreal that in a little over three weeks, I won’t have a classroom. The school I am currently teaching at opened up ten years ago and I was one of the “original” teachers.  It will be very sad to leave but I am excited about spending time with my family and the arrival of my granddaughter, Audrey, in September!  I’m also looking forward to creating many Stampin’ Up! projects that I will have time to post on my blog!! Yahoo!!
Have a great rest of the week and thank you for stopping by!!
