THE STORY!

Mickey is a Park Ranger working in the national forest. One day on his patrols, he hears a cry for help. He sees a beautiful girl mouse with tears on her face because she has fallen while hiking and broken her leg. The gallant Mickey comes to the rescue of the lovely Minnie, administers first aid, drives her to the hospital, waits for her to be treated and drives her home. They fall in love and the rest is history. However, a few months later, when Mickey goes to pick up his tuxedo on the morning of their wedding day, they have accidentally rented out all of the mouse-sized tuxes! So Mickey shows up anyway in his Ranger uniform. Minnie starts up the aisle and is surprised to see Mickey wearing his uniform but she doesn’t care because that is how he looked when she fell in love with him!

Rebecca and Jameson, 8 y.o. in grade two (we don’t say second grade here in Canada!)

A QUICK BUNNY HELLO!!!

Hey there all!!! How are you?? I hope you are well!!! Just a quick HELLO for you this evening!! I made this card for Kyah's teacher. She told Kyah I must send her a note, in writing, to request her seating arrangement be changed. Now.....I don't know if you saw, in my previous post, that Kyah needed an eye exam. Hence......the reason why she cannot sit in the back of the room. I could go on, but, I shall not. You get the picture. Anyway.......this is the card I made to send in with Kyah tomorrow. We took her for the eye exam and her glasses will be here sometime this week.

I decided to use the LUCKY BUNNIES set, from THE GREETING FARM, to make this QUICK card! I think this set is SO cute, don't you?? This image is PERFECT for ANY type of card really. I layered SU CS and SU DSP, to create my card. I finished it with some pink ribbon,pink dew drops, and pink rhinestones from Hero Arts. I hope you like this one and I hope you all have a GREAT MOnday!!! DOn't forget to check out the CLUB ANYA site, for an AWESOME contest!!! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!! If you need more info, be sure to check the post below this!! It has been such a busy couple of days here!! Thanks SO much for stopping by and I PROMISE I will get around to visiting you all tomorrow night! After Girl Scouts, of course!!! Haha!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!!

TOO MUCH PINK & PURPLE FOR PRETTY ANYA AND A SWEET STORY!!!

Hey there ladies!!! How are you?? I have an interesting card to share with you!! It's my girl Anya, but, with LOTS of pink and purple!! I am NOT quite sold on this one!! Although I am not sure about it, there is a SWEET story behind this creation. Not to mention, experimentation with new products!!! So....I will tell you the story first.

My Kyah got off the bus today, as usual, and bounded inside. She played with her friend, for awhile, until her mom came to get her. Then.......she comes up to me and says, "Mommy, I got something for you!". She was so proud of herself!!! SUPER excited too! So of course I asked her what it was. She proceeds to dig in her little pocket and pull out a small pink button. "Here, mommy.", she says. OMGosh it was SO SWEET!! She then says, "I found it on the playground and thought you could use it for a card!!!" Is my kid AWESOME or what?? SO thoughtful!! Hence.....the little pink button on Pretty Anya's hat!!! So you understand why I had to keep working at this, even though the pink and purple were over kill!!!

I wanted to share the Anya with you for two reasons, The first was because I obviously HAD to share that cute story. The second because it's almost here!!! What is?? You might ask. The NEW Anya release!!! Now.....you got some sneak peeks from Club Anya's Blog, but, wait until you see the surprise!! WoooHoo!!! Can't wait for you to see it!!! The 15th is ALMOST here!!! Make sure to check back in with me on Friday, for some sneak peeks of my own!!! I can't wait to share with you!!! Hope you enjoy my card...it kinda has an Easter feel to it; or even a Spring feel. DOn't you think?? Let me know your thoughts!! Have a GREAT day!!!! Thanks, SO much for stopping by and hope to see you on Friday!!!!

TWINKLING TUESDAY NIGHT!!!!

Hey...how was your dinner?? Haha!! Ok.....so..it took me a bit here,but,......I am back!!! With MY version of this week's Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesdays Challenge!! This week's sketch comes to you straight form her brother, Jack!!! Way to go Jack!!! LOVE it!!! Now.....I hope you played along, for when I am done here??? I am off to visit ALL of you and check out your AWESOME work!!! Can't wait to see it!!! I decided to use my NEW PCS, Kiki Kitty set!! You just have to LOVE it!!! Not to mention, when it is a gift from your hubby?? It makes you LOVE it all the more!!! Oh...and it does help if you have kitties, like I do!! This set is one of the stamping things I got for Valentines day!!! Thanks HONEY, You are THE BEST!!!
I thought I would use this tonight, since for the next few days??? I have LOTS of ANYA'S & IAN'S to share with you!!! Because, you know what this weekend is, right?? Don't you?? Come on now!! It is the BIG release for CLUB ANYA, from THE GREETING FARM!!! YAY!! So much to share with you all!! I just CAN'T wait!!! SO excited!!! Don't forget to head over to Club Anya and enter their Sketch Contest!! You could win the NEW Stamp set, that is being released on the 15th!!! Hey....want another GREAT reason to check out Club Anya?? All this week, they are introducing you to their PHENOM Design Team!! In fact, today they featured Janna!! She is such an AWESOME and SWEET girl!! So talented...you are just going to LOVE her; you will be blown away by her talent!!
GEEZ.....I am getting carried away!!! Sorry girls!!! I am just SO excited, what can I say!!! Now...there are two more things I need to SHARE with you, before I show you my card!!! One, I dedicate this card to my fellow TWINKLETTE, Heather!!! This one is for you girl!!! Brown!!! Your FAVE!!! Hehe!!! Hope you enjoy!!! Ok.....for all of you?? The inside scoop?? She is not a friend to BROWN!!! As a matter of fact?? She is DEEPLY allergic!!!! Or so she says!!! Haha!!!
Ok....last thing....before my creation is revealed (even though it is a simple card!!). You will all notice that I have FINALLY placed a Copyright on my photos!!! This is due to the WONDERFUL help, I received, from my girl CASSIE!!!! She too is a fellow TWINKLETTE!!! If you don't believe me, check out her CHEERY card she posted, for this week's challenge!! You NEED to let her know, how much you DIG her stripes too!! You can see it by clicking her link, below. She was SO SUPER nice to help me last night!! She showed me where to go to create the watermark and literally WALKED me through it!!! SHE ROCKS!!! Thank you SO much Cassie!!! I am FORTUNATE to have you as my friend!!! I LOVE it!!! Of course, I did have to be different and make mine a shade of turqoise!!! Haha!!! It had to match ME, now didn't it?? I bet you ALL are laughing at me, aren't you?? Oh well!! At least you can't say I am not different, right?? Or that I don't have fun!!!
Anyway!!! There I go again....on a tangent, who would have guessed!!! Sorry!!! Hope you like my SIMPLE card!!! And make sure if you played along. that you labeled your card with MTTSC13, so we can find it!!! We LOVE to share!!! Speaking of sharing.....make sure to visit the other TWINKETTES, to see there FAB creations!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed!! I am honored to be a part of their team and you will see why!!
