Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop


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, dp is "Celebrations" by the Paper Studio. I added brads and Bakers twine for the bows in her hair. Also used the SU oval and Scalloped oval punch and pierced it as well. 



Now, for some non crafting news.... I got to see Hunter a few weeks ago. My Mom joined us. We went to the zoo for Zoofest.     Hunter wearing  Grey Wolf.
                                                                     Grammie & Hunter
                                                       Hunter & Great Grammie
                                               The following weekend we had Cristine's Bridal Shower.
                                                            Me and my BFF, Rebecca
                                                                  Me, Cristine &Jenn

Well, I hope you enjoyed all of the pictures!!!  This Saturday we leave for the Wedding in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands!!! That will be on Monday, June 25, 2012.  I will surely post pictures!!!

Hi Cindy!
What wonderful pictures! Wow, I can't believe the wedding is here already! I do hope someone called the island ahead of time to warn them of the impending craziness about to be unleashed there, lol! It will be a beautiful wedding and I really can't wait to see the pictures! I can't believe how big Hunter is getting! It's so obvious how much the two of you adore each other and I'm glad you were able to spend time with him. And your cards are very cute too! What a great idea using the twine and brad in the pigtails like that! I hope you have a safe trip and don't forget to pack the sunscreen! I can't wait to hear all about the trip when you return!

{{Big hugs}}
