This past weekend it was my Redken Shades EQ bottle~ Funny huh? I really love this card and how easy it was to come together ..
Just did alot of guessing on my part to the finished size I wanted the main focal point to be, But look how cute it turned out ... OH my Gosh !!
When the card is sitting with the bottle It makes just a lovely matching pair don't you think ? Hee! Hee!
Colors used are: Pretty in pink, Regal rose, Whisper white & Black the Stamp set is Abundant Hope #118547 and of course lots of butterflies ( again ) using the Beautiful wings embosslit # 118138
Measurements of pieces are as follows
Pretty in pink 3/4" X 2 3/4"
1 1/2" X 1 1/2" sq
Regal rose 2" X 3"
Black 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"
Whisper white 3/4" X 2 1/8"
Thanks for peeking in today & Have a Wonderful Wednesday !
Oh my goodness this card cracks me up . Such a cute card for anyone but mine today seems to be alittle more on the masculine side since I know my hubby loves cookies and milk.
I used the lemonade cup as my template which you can see that video HERE and all I did different was that I added a piece of whisper white # 100730 inside the cup ..
I tried to take a photo of what it looks like from the bottom of my cup Hope you can make out what I did .. Please click on photo to enlarge your viewing .
Super cute HUH ?
The chocolate chip cookies I used the 1 3/8" circle punch and the scallop circle punch to make it look like a bite was taken out of one of them .
I just love this card !
The You're never to old greeting is from the stamp set called Smarty pants #115070HERE
I just cut off to do Goofy stuff from the stamp image
Thanks so much for peeking in today on your busy Tuesday !

The Occasions mini will still be active through the end of April 2010
For my card today I used the Beautiful Butterflies Big shot die # 114507 along with Bashful bluedesigner paper #112151.
I stacked the butterflies on top of each other, the 2 other butterflies that are on top of the larger butterfly are from the embosslit Beautiful wings #118138 I posted a upclose photo for you to see what I mean ..

This past week we had all of Jessie's Graduation invites made We got all of them at Sams Club and what a Deal too:)
We got 150 invites for under $40.00 can you believe that ? Plus they come with beautiful envelopes .
Jessie's invites are 4" X 8". and look at the Class of 2010 Its PURPLE how perfect is that ... Sams Club even put a copy of her invite on display for the new 2010 designs . How cool is that !
We will be adding all the party details to the backside of the photo section of her invite so if they want to cut out her photo and keep it all the details will be on the backside
Dawn's Side note : I got a few emails re: a few of Jessie's photo's being on railroad tracks when I shared the proofs with you all previously , This railroad track was just used as a prop for her senior photo Thats all and we do not recommend playing on railroad tracks as a form of entertainment or otherwise .
Oh my goodness we are down to 10 days for Shelli's Arrival . I finalized the M&Ts for my Glitter Queens ( downline ) meeting this past Friday . I am so excited.
So in between getting everything lined up for the big day I designed my April Thank you notes they are sooo stinkin cute.
Speaking of my Thank you notes. My glitter queens will be making 2 cards at our meeting with Shelli. 1 will be a full size version and the other is a Thank you note to match .. A pretty cool story on how my Thank you notes even got started over 2 years ago, But I will share that story with you after our meeting with Shelli.
I have also been trying to get caught up on my DVD's I have available for you who are interested in buying them . I just found out that my Printer prints on DVD's/ CD's.... OH my goodness so here is a photo to show you my new design of my DVD's I hope to get all of my DVD's with this new design in the future BUT so far just the current ones I will be posting soon will be with the new design .
I think my neighborhood heard me scream with delight when I found this out . I never knew this was possible with my printer and found out by accident .
I was printing labels but hit the printer button for CD's/DVD's instead and my printer turned into this monster thing with its mouth opening up and ejecting a small tray to put CD/ DVD on to print ~ Totally freaked me out.
Dawns Update 8:40am : I have had many requests this morning to what printer I use ... It is the Epson Artisan 800 Which is no longer available BUT they have a Artisan 810 now which is the same HERE
It is sooo awesome to be able to do this and Hope all of you enjoy the new design on my DVD's I will get DVD 24-25-& 26 posted soon HERE. So sorry for my delay in keeping the new ones available.
I have also update my retired stamp set I have available for purchase you can check those out HERE .
My new Blog design is coming very soon stay tuned for that :)
For my Sunday Share video is one of my all time favorites from Nicole C Mullen "My Redeemer Lives " .

I Love love love today's card maybe cause it's Purple Hee! Hee! Or maybe because it's so simple & clean looking .
Lots of cutting on this card . Sometimes hand cutting out flowers and butterflies makes it even more fun.
Just like coloring~ hand cutting images out relaxes me. Does this happen to you as well?
I got the lighter shade of Lavender lace by stamping the flower 1st in full ink then stamping it again to get lighter shade .
I am in love with this stamp set called For all you do. It has so many cute images and the possibilities are really endless with this set . I especially love the polka dot stamp in this set .. But for my polka dots/aka Doodle dots on my card I just used my White gel pen .
Supplies :
For All You Do stamp set #115360
White gel pen #105021
Scallop Trim border punch#118402 (Free in Sale-a-bration mini till March 31, 2010 )
I made this simple tag with the Two Tags die #115954 and ran it though my Fabulous Big shot machine # 113439 with Pretty in pink card stock.
I used the Eggcoutrements stamp set # 118556 ( Occassions mini) for the sweet little bunny face stamped in Lavender Lace classic ink #101305 punched that out with the 1" circle punch # 109046.
Layered that onto pretty in pink card stock that was punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch # 104403
Then the 1 3/8 circle punch#104401 with Certainly Celery card stock
Then the scallop circle punch #109043 in Apricot Appeal card stock

Hubby was once again in the local news paper this past Thursday re: The Christmas day flight with the underwear bomber. You can click HERE to read that article . It really is amazing after nearly 3 months after this terrible event that there is even more details still coming out.
Monday March 8, 2010 My dear friends Steve & Linda's dog ( Samson) died. He was the sweetest dog ever and what a heartbreak for my dear friends and everyone that knew Samson .
I cried all day on Sunday with Linda Knowing how much pain she was having.
Linda let Samson outside to go potty and a few mins later she called for him and he didn't come back she found him at the back pouch laying on the ground.
Steve and Ben carried him in the house and he just laid there they ended up taking Samson to the 24 hr vet within 20 mins of finding a vet open at 9:30pm Monday night . Samson ended up having a tumor that ruptured and was bleeding internally . Right before Samson died He licked Linda on the face .
You may remember these photos of Samson and Jessie that were taken when we spent New Years Day 2010 with them playing Rock band HERE
