Father's Day

I know I showed you the card I made for my dad, but I wanted to show you what I made for my husband. He's really become a wood working/tool junkie. Last year I got him a jointer and he was blown away! No big tools this year but I decided to make him toolbox waterfall card. He loved it!

I'm baaaaaack! (May Club)

Well, at least for a little while! So much has happened the last few months and I apologize for not blogging for so long! We just put our home on the market last week and we've already had 9 showings! Unfortunately no 2nd showings but I'm optimistic! Meanwhile we're waiting for our new home to be finished. It will probably be ready for move in in about 10 weeks. Yea!

I've wanted to share a lot of projects I've done but haven't had the time to sit down to a computer. Now that my house is all clean, maybe I'll have a little more time! :) Today I'd like to share a few cards that we made at our last club...way back in May! It seems forever ago! We went with a graduation/father's day theme and I love both cards! Hope you do too!

Mud Run

The Start: All Clean

Last weekend our family traveled to Columbia, South Carolina for the US Marine Corp Mud Run. It's a 5 mile, marine obstacle course through mud. I believe there were about 30 obstacles. Teams consist of four people and you have to stay together the whole race. Brady, Amanda and Derek were my teammates and they were all in better shape than me. My team would have finished a lot sooner if they didn't have "grandma" on their team, but I felt good about what I accomplished! (I've never done a race like this before!) Here are some of the pictures Mark got of us:

Amanda and I weren't able to complete this obstacle by ourselves but our teammates could help us. I was grateful for Brady!

This picture gives you a good idea as to how muddy a few of the obstacles were! Thick!

This one was a killer! None of us completed it and we had a 3 min. penalty!

Grandma on the streacher!

We FINISHED!

All in all, we finished 326 out of 1079 teams. We completed the race in 1 hour 32 minutes and 51 seconds. Not bad for first timers! We'll definitely be back next year!

Mandy

Mandy is a good friend of mine and has chosen to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I look forward to hearing about the different experiences she will have in Denver. I know this will be a wonderful growing opportunity for her both spiritually and emotionally. She left Sat. so I made her this card.

25 Pull-ups, 1st Place!

A few weeks ago was the county First in Fitness competition. Carston was chosen to represent the 3rd grade boys for our school and he did AWESOME! He got the most pull-ups of all the kids in all the grades! His personal best was 22 pull-ups and when he pulled off 25 I was shocked! Later I found out that Mark bribed him with $25 for 25 pull-ups. It worked. Hmmmm.

Petal Cone Carrot

How to make the Petal Cone Carrot.

Cut your pieces of card stock. I used the texture plates on the Tangerine Tango pieces.

Assemble your petal cone. With a hobby blade, cut slits in two opposite sides of the flaps.

Fill petal cone with treats. Fold un-cut flaps in first, then slide Wild Wasabi banner through slits. Add a piece of Sticky Strip to one side of the banner.

Bend banner up and stick ends together.

Add Little Leaves and a ribbon.

Decorate. If you have any questions, please email me! Enjoy!
