Patriotic Tag

Hello Lovelies,
I have a "tag" to share with you today. Today has been a very lazy day for me, don't know why but I believe in setting and reaching goals and I said (4) posts today and the "Blog Candy" post is not included. Thanks again for visiting me.
Hugs,

Blog Candy

Hello Lovelies,
I want to share some "Blog Candy" with you today.  I was going to wait until we reached 100 Special Friends, but patience isn't something that I have a lot of, unfortunately. The saying goes that GOD will give you the desires of you heart and he has done this for me with regard to this hobby. I am doing this give-a-way now because he has blessed me with some opportunities upcoming that I never thought possible, not for me and this craft. I never thought I was good enough. Anyhoo, I really appreciate you all and I hope you all win.  Eventhough, I know that only one of you will.  You all have been so nice and supportive, it amazes me.  I really try to create worthy projects, I started this blog without knowing very much and was purchasing everything I saw without regard to my personal style. I was trying everyone else's style but my own. Now that I've decided to do "ME" you all visit and leave comments that say such super cool and nice things. I practice all the time because I want to be good enough.  Sorry that I got long-winded but I truly wanted to share a little piece of my story with you today.
Thanks a million times over.
Hugs,
~Shen

First Easel Card - Patriotic Dalmation

Hello Lovelies,
I have a card to share with you today.  This little dalmation is one cut that I had wanted to play with for a while but decided not to until now, so glad I waited.  I'm not sure if I will leave the inside the way that it is currently but the outside is definitely complete. I hope you like. Thanks for stopping by and to my very special friends, I appreciate you and I have some goodies for you coming up very soon.
Hugs,
~Shen

Girl Talk

Hello Lovelies,
I have another card to share with you today. This card is for a really great friend of mine that I don't get to talk to very often because of our conflicting schedules...we are always playing "phone tag." I hope she likes. This one took me over an hour because I kept changing my mind regarding the positioning of the cuts, couldn't make up my mind. Anyways, thanks for visiting me.
Hugs,

Independence Day (4th of July)

Hello Lovelies,
I have another card to share with you today. I guess you could say I am feeling very Patriotic these days. All of these American themed challenges remind me of my active duty tour in the Marine Corps. This one is really simple but I wanted a more serious card than my normal style. Thanks for visiting.
Hugs,
~Shen

Stars and Stripes Birthday

Hello Lovelies,
I have a card that I want to share with you today.  I also want to thank each of you that came by to visit me yesterday, even though I had no new post. Thanks so much!  After church, I was exhausted and didn't really feel like spending any time in my craftroom but I did attempt to catch up with posting comments to my favorite blogs...my special friends of course. Thanks for visiting me.
Hugs,
~Shen
