It's me..... MARIO!!!

Good Morning Everyone! I hope your weekend was great and

that your week is off to an AWESOME start! My weekend

was busy! MY oldest turned 20 on Tuesday last week then my

youngest turn 10 on Saturday. I threw him a sleep over Birthday

Party on Friday night with 8 of his closest friends! I can tell ya

that after the night was over.... I was EXHAUSTED! Boy....

a house full of little boys can wear a person down! LOL

All the boys had a BLAST! and the theme was MARIO!

So they got to play Wii games all night long and I had lots

of sugary goodies for the occasion...

So I thought today I would post the picture of the CUTE

banner I made for his party....

 

First off.... This is the very first banner I've EVER MADE!

Seriously! I've never made a banner before....

 

And I did it in 1 hours time! SERIOUSLY! 1 hour is all

it took me to make this!

 

I looked online for Mario Pictures and saved

them to my computer.... Then I imported them into my Silhouette

I used a couple different banner parts from

different banners I have in my Silhouette Library.....

 

I used Echo Parks Boy Digi Paper to fill in the

Banner pieces and let my printer and Machine

do all the work! Once it was done I just

put all the pieces together, then strung it up

using Baker's Twine! And BAM!

A CUTE Banner with my sons name on it, with

some of his favorite Characters!

I also created these Rosettes using my Silhouette and the
same images I got from the Internet....

There really wasn't mush around for "Mario" stuff...
At least where I live, and since I work all the time,
I really didn't have a lot of time to plan his party...
Soooo I improvised by using my Silhouette and images off
the Internet to create a simple, yet fun set up for my sons
Birthday party! Hunter LOVED everything I made for him...
Which is really ALL that matters! :o)

Thanks for letting me share my son's birthday
elements with you! Enjoy the rest of the week
and have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Such a CUTE SVG!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I know, I know.... Been a loooong while since you've heard from me! Sorry! But work is busy as always.... I've recently had time to make some cards and thought I would share them with you. First I want to THANK those of you who were sweet enough to leave me some Birthday wishes.... That was soooo sweet of you! Second.... I'm sorry no one is posting on my blog.... I told you awhile back that owning the thrift store would take a lot of my time up. Hoping my sister would step up and post. But She's had her own things going on, soooo.... I just wanted to take a moment and apologize for the lack of content.... I'm going to try to post at least once a week if time permits.... This is going to be my goal anyway.... so please be patient with me.... I've got sooo much going on right now... This past weekend I've spent time creating Party Invitations for my soon to be 10 yr. old. then I created 50 Graduation announcements for my second son Juston. He actually graduated early (back in December) but we wanted him to still have the ceremony, so May 22nd will be his big day!  And then my oldest will be turning 20 tomorrow... OMGOSH! Time is flying by so fast! Anyway... enough gabbing from me! Here's a cute SVG card I made!

 

 

SERIOUSLY!! How CUTE is this card? I sooo Love it!

I used my Silhouette to create this card using an SVG file from

svg cutting files

They make the CUTEST files! I've downloaded a whole

bunch from their site.... Any who.... I created this using:

 

Card stock & Ink - Stampin' up

Designer Paper - MME Magnolia (I Think?)

SVG Spa Sandal from svg cutting files

Bow - Silhouette Store

Tag - Silhouette Store

Sentiment on the Tag was made in the Silhouette using my

computer fonts.

Gem - Doodlebug Designs

Jute - My Stash

Glossy Accents was used on the toe nails to give them

that painted toe look! LOL

 

Well I'm happy to be back.. even if it's just a weekly thing!

I miss everyone dearly and I try to pop in to visit you when

I have time... and I'm so glad I do.... You guys amaze me

every time I go to your blogs.... Hope to stop by soon!

 

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Have an AWESOME Day!!!

I've totally LOST my MIND!!!

Apparently... I have LOST MY MIND! Tomorrow is Shane's Birthday (Hubby)

 and look at what we got him.... Her name is Pepper and
she is a Purebred German Shepherd...

She will be 12 weeks on Wednesday.. Now I have 2 babies to deal with....

You should have seen Shane's face when we gave her to him...

Seriously... PRICELESS!!!!

She's so CUTE!

Shane's holding her face so I can get 

a good picture of her....

Her fur is soooo soft.... Or that's 

what my hubby says... tehehhe

Here she is meeting Max my 
Chihuahua for the first time....

  I know I'm writing another Craftless post....

But you know how I like to share.... :o)

If my hands weren't full before... they are

gonna be ten times more with 2 puppies roaming

my house! UGH!!! LOL

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.....

Theresa

Be Mine.... L is for Love......

Hello and Happy Friday Evening Everyone! I Know you're all shocked

to see me on here! Well... First off... I've missed everyone dearly!

Secondly, I had some free time so I thought I would post something!

I never stopped making cards, so that's good right? I get a lot of requests

at my store so when I do get time off I try to spend some of it making

cards for my customers. :o) And since I know Valentine's Day is just

around the corner, I thought I would share some of mine... Maybe not all

of them today of course..... But I've been playing more & more with my

Cameo (which I LOVE) and thought I would post some of them for you.

Just so you know I'm still alive & kicking! LOL 

 

 

I used my Cameo to create this card along with

Stampin' Up Ribbon, Card Stock, & Scallop Border Punch

Designer Paper is from Bo Bunny (Love Letter)

 

 

I used my Cameo to cut out the shape of the card

along with the banner & double heart.

I used Brown/White Baker's Twine and a Pink Button from

Stampin' Up. The Designer Paper is from Basic Grey,

And I created my own tag Cutting it out with the Cameo,
adding an eyelet and the Stamp is from Stampin' Up
Then I added Pink Stickles to the double heart.

I'm adding these 2 cards to 4 different challenges!
My Sheri Crafts - Create a Valentine's Card
Paper Playtime - Create a card using a border punch
Cameo Creations Challenge - Valentine's Day tag
Card Crafter's Circle - Love is in the air

 

I thought these cards turned out lovely...

Thanks for letting me share some of my

card creations with all of you!

Have an AWESOME Weekend!!

AWESOME Design Team... I will miss everyone 

 terribly! Soooo, let's get on with the challenge today!

"Tis the Season" Make a Christmas Card using

I also have some more sad news to share....

This will be my last blog post. For how long?

I honestly don't know.... I've made it no

secret that work has been really busy, and

it's been very difficult for me to do the million

and 1 things I have to do daily... Soooo, after

lots of soul searching.... I decided to stop blogging

for awhile.... I mean... really... I haven't been fair to

my blog or my wonderful blogging friends.... SO

for the time being... I will no longer be posting

on this site... Now I did speak with my sister about

all of this and she said she would do her best

to continue the blog and posting.... But as for me...

It will probably be a long time before I can get back 

to blogging... If I get any free time, I will still try

to visit my blogging friends... I just hope you all

understand why I'm doing this, and this decision

was not easy for me to make... But I gotta do what's

best for me & my family right now.... and this is it!

I will miss everyone dearly, and I can't 

THANK YOU

enough for supporting me and this blog!

I wish everyone a Wonderful

Christmas & a Blessed New Year!

Have an AWESOME day!!!!

Christmas...

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone! How's your week

going so far? Any of you have snow yet? Surprisingly

we haven't had any! I personally don't mind it...

 I know we need it... especially  for the farmers around here, They do!

Sooo, yeah I feel a little bad about it! :o) 

Just not that bad!

Here's another card for ya...

Just like yesterday's card... This is another

99 cent Silhouette card. I added a couple

of things... and I took the tree from the outside

of the card, and put it inside the card...

Couldn't see wasting it... :o)

Thanks again for stopping by!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
