50th Anniversary Card

My photo doesn't do this card justice but I think it came out quite nice. I printed the words on card stock and the top layer is a wedding photo from Bobbie & Cy's wedding 50 years ago printed on vellum.

 

My Blessings:

Mike is home from a great 2 weeks in Colorado.

A fun day celebrating Bobbie & Cy's 50th wedding anniversary. What great role models they are for the rest of us.

Worshiping with my Concordia family at 11:00 today.

A good visit with Hayley today.

Graduation Invitations

I made these for a great girl who I met through work. She asked me to make her announcements for her upcoming graduation. I think this is what she wanted, I hope she likes them. I made a few thank you cards for her out of left over scraps. NEVER EVER throw away your scraps!

Land of the Free Because of the Brave...

I got this from one of the awesome blogs I stalk. Thanks Lorie! It is very moving, take a few minutes to watch it. Remember to pray for those families that have lost loved ones fighting on our behalf. Also, pray for a safe journey for all the men and women who have made the selfless decision to protect us at home and far away.

I am blessed,
Robyn

Happy Birthday Kristy

I made this and gave it to my sweet friend, Kristy at work today. She and her husband, Kyle told me this afternon that they are leaving in 2 weeks to start another music ministry at a satellite church in Boerne. I'm kinda bummed. Happy for them, sad for me.

My blessings:

+ The opportunity to get to know & love Kyle & Kristy over the last several years at Concordia.

+ Better health and more energy since beginning my healthy lifestyle in mid March (and to have lost 17 lbs as a result of my healthy choices).

+ My family... I miss you Hayley.

+ A fun filled weekend with girlfriends.

Peace and Pretty Paper,

Graduation and Just because Card

I made these while watching the Season Finale of Survivor tonight. I am so glad Russell didn't win!


This is stamped with The Angel Company's Funny Farm set. I used miscellaneous paper and ribbon from my stash.  It was originally going to be a birthday card but I think I will use it for some other random occasion.

I cut this with my Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge and made it into a card using Design Studio. It is going to the family of a co-worker that has had a tough couple of weeks. People have volunteered to send meals home with them for the next 2 weeks. Tomorrow, Darlene, Miriam and myself are sending Lasagna, salad andyummy pie. I thought we would include a pretty flower to say "Hi ~ We are praying for you".

This is for my friend Miriam's son, Filipe. He graduated from Concordia University Austin, Summa Cum Laude! He is off to Brazil then Europe this week. I am sure he can use a little extra cash. Have I told you lately that I don't have a knack for guy cards? (I used purple only because it is his school colors)

My Blessings: 

• My Family
• A great weekend

Baby Shower Gifts

I made the following for baby shower gifts. First is the name plaque that I created from a metal "scroll" sign that I got for $6 on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It had "love" and crosses all over the front and was oriented portrait style. I covered it with paper that coordinates with the nursery colors and added the oval with the baby's name. Two holes drilled in the metal allowed me to thread some ribbon to hang it landscape for a nice gift. I am quite pleased with the outcome.

I also made a BABY mini album and a Grandma's Brag Book (that I forgot to take a photo of). Look at the cute little monkey from create a critter. I just love him!

This is the back of the album and there are 2 "micro mini" albums inside to add additional photos. I hope you like it! 

It has been a rough week for me but I am thankful to have "made it" to the weekend. Mike and I just returned from a nice dinner date at Clear Springs and are looking for a movie to watch on PPV. Happy Mother's Day to all of my blog friends out there. Be sure you tell your mother you love her - you never know when it will be your last opportunity.
