Life sure does get in the way of things sometimes! I have been crafting and making cards, just not blogging them. In mid November, I tested positive for Covid-19, and I was kind enough to share with my hubby. Thankfully we both had mild cases with aches, nausea, fatigue, loss of smell and taste. By the time our 14 days of quarantine were over we felt almost 100%! I still think, at times, my smell and taste aren't 100%. We celebrated Christmas with our son and his family the weekend before Christmas, but our daughter and son-in-law decided it would be best if they stayed away to protect everyone. <p></p><p>On to my card...This is my sweet grandson's Valentine card.

I couldn't get it to insert, so I had to copy and paste...which surprised me it worked! I guess I should have known I'd have issues when my copic E000 made a mess of her face! It is out of ink, but the few places I've looked for a refill are out of stock...UGGHHH! I guess I will just buy a new marker. Anyhow, this card is for my nieces 18th birthday. She is a short skinny thing and this image is PERFECT for her! I imported Bugaboo's <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/buggirlsidepeek?_pos=1&_sid=6859630c7&_ss=r">Girl Side Peeker</a> image into Silhouette Studio, added different fills to make my scene, typed the sentiment, and then printed her out to color! The layout is for Stella Says Sketch #813.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Challenge:</b></p><p><b><a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2020/08/stella-says-sketch-challenge.html">Stella Says Sketch #813</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBEq8YBFBJc/XtPNKCe7h7I/AAAAAAAAKdM/a-4slXZQ7nop5PBPnPqcCGRomydX0e7nQCLcBGAsYHQ/w213-h320/2020%2BSSS%2B813.png" width="213" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Brenda's Card Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12050445336080404256noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993850703219772480.post-17408680298204530072020-07-24T16:20:00.000-05:002020-07-24T16:20:23.211-05:00Christmas In July Day 7<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-la2uou2pPhY/XxtLfyzNH0I/AAAAAAAADos/taj_k8oVjpwpEI6qZHzeNLTiKXXIgW-zQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1507/CIJ%2Bday%2B7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1507" data-original-width="1274" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-la2uou2pPhY/XxtLfyzNH0I/AAAAAAAADos/taj_k8oVjpwpEI6qZHzeNLTiKXXIgW-zQCLcBGAsYHQ/w339-h400/CIJ%2Bday%2B7.jpg" width="339" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made it back for day 7 of the <a href="https://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/724day-seven-christmas-in-july-theme_24.html">Christmas in July challenge at Catch The Bug</a>!

I hope everyone is coping well with this lock down...however, some of us are starting to open back up! I've been doing the Walmart grocery pick up and I LOVE it! We did go see our grandson the 1st of May...it was the 1st time to see him in 2 months! We are planning to go again in 2 weeks. Our daughter and son-in-law have been coming every weekend for the night and it has helped us all deal with this!<br />
<br />
Today's card is for a good friend who is turning 40 next week! We are planning a ladies day (4 of us) at my house, with social distancing, sitting around the pool and drinking wine or whatever your drink choice is!<br />

It's hard to believe that my grandson is going to be ONE in a few weeks! He is just the most precious little guy EVER! And he's walking everywhere...has been for about 3 weeks! They refer to him sometimes as "Little Bear" so I thought this image was perfect for him! It had 2 candles on top, but I erased one in Silhouette Studio!<br />

OMGoodness my last post was in July! I have been making cards, just haven't taken the time to post them. This card is for my precious grandson who is 9 1/2 months old already! We are going to visit him (and his parents) this weekend. They live 3 hours from us, so we only get to see him about every 3 weeks and I hate it! We did get to have lunch with them a couple weeks ago and this is one of the MANY pictures we took!<br />

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July! Our daughter, son in law, and grandpup (Indi) came to celebrate with us! Our SIL did all the grilling and then we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Indi learned to jump off the diving board for her ball! <br />

My card today is for our great niece's 3rd birthday! She is REALLY into horses and unicorns, so I thought this image would be PERFECT for her and I love shaker cards! My inspiration came from this card on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/103090278957177213/">Pinterest</a>.<br />

Our 1st grandchild is due by the 12th of April, so of course he has to have a 1st Easter card! My daughter and I spent last weekend with them (they live 3 hours from us) and had a fabulous time! My daughter took some gorgeous maternity pictures of them, Monday we toured the hospital maternity ward, and that afternoon we went to her sonogram appointment! What an AWESOME experience that was! I can hardly wait to meet him!<br />

It's been about a month since I posted a card. We have a lot going on in our household...My hubby retired in December, our FIRST grandbaby (a boy) is due in April, and our daughter is getting married in June! A VERY exciting and busy time for my family! I am still card making for family and close friends, just not many for challenges. Today's card is for my childhood best friends birthday! I just love this image and think she will too!<br />

My card today is for my daughter and her fiance. I used Love Bug from Bugaboo Stamps (I couldn't find it in the store for a link). I colored it with copics, stardust stickles, firebrick distress ink, and glossy accents. Stamps of Life stitched circle die to cut it out, SB large scalloped die for mat, hearts cut out on Cameo, and heart sequins from my stash. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">DP is from My Minds Eye Filled with Love, red cs from Craft and Smith, and black cs from The Paper Studio.</span></span><br />

Today's card is for my niece who will be 12 in a couple weeks! She is quite the athlete, basketball, select soccer, and softball! I chose Bubaboo Brat Basketball Girl (couldn't find her in the store), cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die, colored her with copics and clear wink of stella on her ponytail holder. The layout is for Stella Says Sketch #618. DP Bo Bunny blueberry stripe and double dots, Scrapin' Sports and More basketballs, and black cs from The Paper studio. Fiskars scalloped punch and recollections blue gems.<br />
