First Snow 2006

Hi all!!! This is a layout I did of my dd and our pups. Well they were pups. This was their first trip to the snow and they really enjoyed it. I would of thought different seeing how the are cattle dogs. They are 4 years old now and the herding instinct is really in them. They think they need to herd everything!!! The little blonde one "Liberti" would of made an awesome cattle dog. She gets low to the ground and is fearless and her brother "Flag" is a little lazier but he has it also and is not afraid to nip at heels!!! He is very protected of me and does not like anyone to touch me. They have turned out to be great dogs and we love them very much. Thank you for visiting. Take care till next time!!!

A Tribute to Featherrs!!

Well hello...I finally made a paper bag album for my self. I wanted to have a memory book of a horse I owned for 25 years. She was a great horse and I was lucky to have her in my life.  I found her when she was a yearling and that was that.

The paint horse was her mother and the horse on the tag was Man O' War. A famous race horse of the 1930's. He was her great, great, great, great, great grandsire. Yep pretty far back but oh well. I did trace her all the way back to the Goldphin Arabian.

A picture of my son riding her. She wasn't quite a kid horse but she was very careful around them.

A couple of pics of her. She did love a bath!!













The tags here I used as a memory. Each tag has a different memory of her. I am making my family write
Something they remember about her. This pic she
was just hanging out in the backyard.                                       

The pic above is a trail ride our family went on. We use to do a lot of those and Featherrs would carry my daughter. That is hubby and he is on Heart who we still have. Heart is 26 this year,

Just a pic of her in the snow I do not have a whole lot of pictures of her.

 She was kicking back taking a snooze and the other pics is of her and her son. They were at the neighbors begging for carrots!!! Well that is my little book. I loved that horse!!!!!!








 

Went tag crazy!!

 Hello all.....Sheesh....my internet was down for 5 weeks!!! Talk about having withdrawls and coming to realize that maybe I am a little onsessed with the computer. I love my cyber frieinds though!!  This tag is for a swap I am in. We were to make 4 and send them in and get 4 back. The feather on here is an actual ostrich feather that I gathered myself. My friend raises them out on acreage.

 Another tag for the swap. I inked it first and then stamped the leaf image.

 An image I pulled off the internet. I wonder what she was thinking even if she was painted. I added a stick pin and we were to send in some lace also.

 This was out of the box for me with a cutesy image. I am not a cutesy type person probably because I am not good at it!! I just like the inking, tearing and distressing things. Must be the way I get my frustration out!!!

You ever have one of those projects you wanna keep for yourself?? This was it for me but what am I gonna do with it? I gave this to the gal that trained my daughte'sr young horse. She did such an awesome job with him. He went to her and a kindergardner (sp) and came back an 8th grader. My daughter can just get on him and go and he is safe. Well that is all I have done really...need to get back on the scrap wagon!!! Thank you for visiting !!

For a friend!!

Ok this will be my last post till the new year!! I made this for a friend..for her daughter's graduation present. I am a little late but I still think she will like it. I have one of my featherrflies on this. I make these butterflies out of our chicken feathers. Nothing is safe around me!!

So I wanted to take the time to wish everyone a Happy New Year!! As I get older the years seem to fly by even faster! I hope this new year brings happiness to all of you!

Christmas!!

 Well late Merry Christmas! I love Christmas but I also love when it is over! So much preparing for 20 minutes of eating and depending on your kids about 10 minutes of present opening!! But I do love having little ones around. Their freshness about Christmas keeps me going. I did a lot of tags and present toppers this year. I love working with ink.

 Thia tag was fun to make...another thing I love to do is distress. I try not to but I just can't stop myself!! Sometimes I think I over do it but oh well.

 I wasn't to pleased with this one so I will leave it at that.

 Now this is my favorite one, naturally with the horse on it. I had a lot of fun with this one!! Also I love this color!!

 This one I made for my grand daughter's present. I recycled the image of another card. I thought it was cute and perfect to use on her present!!

This was for my hubby's present...he went deer hunting (and didn't get one...yesh!! for the deer) so  I had to put a deer on his.
Well I hope everyone had happy and safe holidays!!! Now if we can make it through New Years we will be doing good. Can't believe another year has passed!! Thank you for visiting!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Card and Tags!!

   Happy Holidays all!! Hope the hustle and bustle don't get to you. I made this card for my 2 year old grand daughter. We just celebrated her b-day and I can not believe she is two already!!  She is adorable and I think my son is gong to get some pay back with her. She is a tough little one!! Of coarse I am getting a big kick out of that!!!                                                                                

 Here are a few tags I made. I did get inspired by all the sites having, well I guess tag competitions!!! I did not enter any but had some fun making them. I do love to use the ink!!! A fav for me. I also ink the ribbon to match.




This one below I used ink, paint and glitter. I always put a seal of glossy accents over the tag. I just like the effect it gives.

This was my first time embossing!! I have always wanted to have that to add to my stuff and I finally was able to get a few supplies but I have a lot to learn there but I LOVE to learn new techniques.
So that is about it...I hope you are having a wonderful start to the new week...I am wanting to get some baking done, don't ya just love how the house smells when you're baking. Reminds me of being a kid and my Ma making cookies. Great memories!!! Well so long for now...have a good one.

A tribute to Charcoal and a couple of tags!!

 Well I have neglected my blog lately. This is a layout I did of a cat we were lucky to share 17 years with. She was a great cat. Charcoal was a mother hen when our daughter was a toddler and if daughter cried Charcoal would run to her from where ever she was and would get in her lap. She was a pound kitty and when I walked into the kitty room she had her paw through the bars and her toes were actually gesturing me to come over to her. That was that!! She had a home.

 Made this tag to kinda follow the Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas....I do not have the supplies he has but did my best with what I have. He makes some awesome tags and one day I will have those supplies!!!

Made this tag for a swap for over at Pages In Time. They have some cool swaps and the ladies there are awesome. So glad I was told of that site.

Well hopefully I can do some more scrapping this week. I get busy with other things...well ya all know that story....Thank you for taking a peek at my blog. Happy Holidays!!!
