Mom Louise is in Heaven!

My Mom, Louise passed away Sunday early in the morning. She was 88 and living here in our town at a nursing home. She took a turn for the worse friday morning, and is now at eternal peace and reunited with my Dad who died about 13 years ago. Daughter Krystina and I were visiting with her Friday nite and dd took this picture of me and Mom holding hands. I am going to collage this photo with others and have Mark help me to make an enlarged area for our family photos and keepsakes. I am comforted by my faith that someday I will see her again, and Dad and what a joyous reunion that will be!

New cards from Jeanette

Here are the newest cards from Jeanette (see her blog here). Our Ume blossom is getting a work out, both as an inchie and as a background. And some of our new doxie stamps for the Florida rescue are together on a layout as doxies on vacation (doxie watching dolphins; doxie snorkeling; and doxachino). Our wheelbarrow is shown on a card with flower background paper. Thanks Jeanette!

Vicki's latest cards

The latest dirt and our shovel stamps and a lovely yellow sheer ribbon make this card in tan and browns great to receive anytime. One of our new Florida doxie stamps, a doxie in an orange crate is a fun card by Vicki (see her blog here). She also popped out part of the card; in the other pic you can see the dimension with the layers popped.

Denise's newest cards

Here is our Muffin Man, tongue hanging out as usual, in a rubber stamp! He is chasing a butterfly on this card from Denise (see her blog here). And another first walk card, the background that is stamped in pink ink, shows a stamp of the stipple baby's footprint from our friend Amy of AJ's Country Stampn's--be sure check out Amy's new blog too!

Laurel's recent cards

I've been working on my swaps and here are a couple I have done for the winged things swap on SCS. 

The Just bee cuz is a 3x3 or trinchie and the large bee I have had for years and have no clue who it is from; the words, bug trail and 2 tiny bees are CowTown Stamps; the honeycomb is from Starving Artistamps, it's just 3 combs that you can stamp over and over to make your own background. I now have 3 diff honeycombs, can you tell I'm in a bug mood LOL.

The buzzing by to say hi words are ours, the front facing bee at top I think is from Rubber Stamps of America; that honeycomb is from Viva Lasvegastamps.

Floral Thank You card

Here is a floral thank you card by Denise (see her blog here). She used two of our stamps, the script Thank You and our small sunflower. Nice work Denise!

Dogs, bunnys, flowers and more cards!

Love that dog card is by our designer Denise (see her blog here). It uses one of our labstamps.com images, the wanna play lab puppy image. Lots of fun dog papers, cricut cuts and more make this an awesome card!

Denise also did the pretty in pinks card using our bouquet of flowers and vase stamps, ribbon and background papers. 

More Cards by our Design Team!

These cards are by Denise (see her blog here). She used foil that she cuttlebugged, a layer of our lemon angelina fibers and our flowers in a cup stamp. The glitter bunny used 5 colors of glitter with our bunny in the flowers stamp. Our Japanese rose stamp looks awesome in black and white doncha think?
