Zukesgirl Creates

I made this using KWerners template in 2 peas --- this is for my great nieces 6th birthday I used Heidi Swapp, DCWV paper, MSE stamps, brads, ribbon and - you guessed it - pop dots!

Tina tagged me --- it was a while back but I missed it with all the 'stuff' going on. So here we are now trying to play catch up. Now I realize I am WAY behind as I was tagged by Vanja too. Obviously not the expert blogger here!!! I am willing to 'give it a go' as it were. I don't know if I'll reach seven blogs on my list. Most of the blogs I love were already tagged by these ladies or I think if people tagged them they would be doing nothing but these tags!!! I do check out many blogs but I am still a newbie! Here are the rules: 1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. (see above) 2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. One. I have had multiple marriage proposals in my life most of which I said no. I said yes twice, changed my mind once (broke off engagement) and have been happily married for 18 years. Two. I am known in some circles as the bling queen. Three. I once worked on an oil tanker. Four. I don't l...

Another fun challenge --- this one was a 'snowman' challenge! Here is the link: http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2008/09/afss36-suggestive-sunday-snowmen.html And here is my card: Bazzil Paper, OTC Stamp - Koh-i-noor pencils, MME paper, Heidi Swapp Paper, Bazzill Ribbon, Best Occassions Rhinestones, and Pop Dots!

I wasnt gonna do a challenge but when I saw this one I HAD to! The Cute Card Thursday Challenge is Lots of Sparkle! Since I missed my planned weekend to make my Christmas cards I am making them for challenges. I used Bassill and Deja Views Paper, Lots of bling, K Marcella Bling letter stickers, SU White in with CTMH white embossing powder, Fiskars basic font clear letters, Basic Grey ribbon, CM circle punch and Pop Dots!!!

This is not my favorite card but it does have a certain charm. I made this for the Alzheimer Thank You challenge I was looking for a challenge when I happened across this whopper of one! WOW at the generosity of ALL the companies involved and the people too!!! Here is the link to the challenge and ALL of the wonderful donators a FEW are Just Rite, Scor-It, Taylored Expressions, Hambly, PaperTrey, StampingBella GinaK,Paper Pretties.... the list goes on and on. Not to mention all the wonderful people donating directly. This all goes for Alzheimers supporters --- the goal is to send out Thankyou cards to those people involved in the care of the patients. Here is the link: http://myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/2008/09/heart-to-heart-blog-candy.html I only have one family member that has been effected and that person has since passed so I will be sending cards to the recommended address. I made this one for the challenge but I will also send a few from my stash. My goal with this card was to e...

Ahhhhh..... some studio time! This uses Bazzill carstock and BoBunny patterned paper. I used K werners template again -- This time I trimmed the card back to match. Hero Arts stamps (words) and Oriental Trading stamp (tree) with Ranger ink, I used glue dots to get the perfect round glittered ornament and on the tree stump I painted on glue and used brown glitter - the star and the garland are stickled, ribbon from the BoBunny booth at ScrapFest and pop dots!!!

I am sitting on the floor of my hotel room trying to quietly blog while my family sleeps. I try to keep my blog mostly about crafting but this post will be mostly personal so feel free to skip if you are here for the crafting. First - thank you very much for the condolences - it means a lot that you would take the time and that you are praying for me and my family. This has been a whirlwind of seeing family (very good) and missing Rocky (my very much missed dad in law). People have been wonderful about dropping off food which is very much needed with the size of this family. The visitation was yesterday and it was open casket - just one look at Rocky annd I knew that my friend and 'dad' was gone. We were only looking at a shell. The service was very nice as they had the kids say the rosary. As a none catholic I hope you understand when I say THAT was a little repetitive and LONG. But it was nice to see the six kids standing up there even if they looked SUPREMELY uncomfor...
