Cindy's Antics! Stamping, Scrapping, Crocheting, Family!!!

I'm so glad to be participating in this months OBG hop!! I haven't made any cards for about 3 months!! Posting on my blog has been lacking too!! (P.S. I hate this new Blogger layout for posting!!)  Our blog hop showcases cards made with items that we have had "stashed" for at least 6 months. An "Oldie but goodie" that we've pulled out and blown off the dust to create something with it. I made 2 cards for the hop today!! I actually colored them about 3 months ago, but they have just been sitting around!  They are both Sassy Cheryl Birthday images. This is Birthday Balloon boy. Cardstock is Yoyo Yellow, dp is "Celebrations" bu the Paper Studio. I added 2 balloon brads and used Bakery Twine for the strings. Sentiment is a miscellaneous one, ink is Pacific Blue. I used the SU oval and scalloped oval punch and pierced it. It is colored with Copics.     This cutie is called "Cheesy Surprise Gift". Card stock is Green Gable, d

      Hi everyone,   I am fine... I have been very, very delinquent in card making and posting to my blog!! Ever since I got my Kindle, it seems all I have been doing is reading, reading and reading!!! It used to be one of my favorite things to do.   takes much less effort than card making!! ha ha... I do miss getting my creative juices flowing, however!!       Tomorrow, Saturday, I am going to visit Hunter! Haven't seen him since February!! Hopefully we will all get to see him in July and have a Birthday party for him. His Birthday was May 25. They went camping for the weekend, so we didn't get to see him.  My daughter is still proceeding with court to get him back!! It is such a long, hard road!!  But we have high hopes!!!    Sunday I am having a Bridal Shower for Cristine. The wedding is June 25 in the Virgin Islands!!  Not too far away!! Only 2 weeks.   Can't wait to share all of the pictures when we get back.    I have lost 37 pounds so far, since I started my we

  Here is a new card....finally!!!!  It is Nurse Margaret, by Bug a Boo!!   I made her to send to the Staff that cared for me during my recent hospital stay. I hope they like it!! She is colored with Copics. The card stock is by Gina K, Pure Luxury Vibrant Violet & White. The dp is Bazzill, "Jaybird Street". I rounder all of the corner with my Creative Memories Corner Rounder (Did I ever say how much I love that tool? ha ha)  Then I added some stickles and some bling!!  Her hair and glasses are more purple looking IRL.     Now....here is my new car!!! Just got it on Wednesday!!  My daughter, Jenn,  is a car sales person, and of course I bought it from her.  It is a 2011 Kia Optima LX.  I didn't really know I was looking for a car!!  The price was very right, and I knew that my car was going to be needing some major work soon, so I bit the bullet!!   Thanks for looking!!! Come back again, soon. Hopefully I won't stay away so long!!

DP is a Martha Stewart paper. I used the CM corner rounder again. Sentiment is SU Spring Pictogram.

Hi there!! I know I've been missing for awhile.... I've been here, just not in the mood for blogging.  I still have a lot of pain if I sit up for too long. I had a CT scan yesterday, and it showed no hernia or infection in my abdomen, so I guess it's just post op pain that is staying with me longer than normal.  Just my luck!!!  I have to go back to work tomorrow, too!  Wish me luck.  I have to sit for 10 hours, so we will see how that goes!!    I did color all of those images last week....     I did get 3 made up, here is one....    This cutie is "Buttercup Suzie", by Sassy Cheryl's.  I originally made her for a challenge with "Buttons & Bows" but, didn't get it done in time. Card stock is Elegant Eggplant, DP is DCWV Pocket Full of Posies, Gina K Pure Luxury White. Colored with Copics, added buttons and twine. The sentiment is an SU set, but do not recall the name. It is stamped in Vibrant Violet. (By my blogger friend, Cindy G)  Al
