June's Card Exchange

Happy Long Weekend to All! Yes I have been neglecting my duties as a blogger again...I have no excuses, just been busy with everything and nothing. June's card exchange challenge/theme was a sketch, using a sketch from the pdf archives - June 2006 on the Pagemaps site; our card exchange group came up with some amzing cards again. Looking forward to our next exchange theme which is Humour. Here are our cards. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Long Weekend and Nice weather!

Hope everyone had a great Victoria Day weekend, the pictures are a couple from my family get-together where we do a pot luck dinner and let some fireworks off at night.The weather was the best we have had in such a long time....it was a great day.

Our next card exchange is a sketch challenge so I will be posting them after our next meet. Enjoy the nice weather, have a great week!

YEAH! YIPPEE!! YAHOOO!!!

Okay, so you can tell my title that I'm a little happy......."Little Man Russell" didn't get ONE vote(looks good on him) last night at final tribal council....he came third this time....thats even one worse then the last time he played its got to tell him something.....I was on the edge of my seat and my thoughts all night were if HE wins....never, ever again will I watch this show.....but alas the panel of jury came through....LOL

So onto the card-making part of this blog......the card exchange group met on Sunday May 2 and the theme for this month was GET WELL. I may say this everytime but I really mean it.....what a great set of cards we got this month. We had a new member join us which is really awesome, some fresh creativity and ideas for all of us to learn from. Welcome, Welcome!!!

Next months theme is a sketch challenge. Looking forward to all the cards!


Cardzgal and I were away at the Great Lakes Mega Meet in Novi, Michigan on May 5-8, had a wonderful busy time....saw lots of great ideas, even bought a few things for scrapping and cardmaking....can't wait to try them out. We watched "Survivor" in our hotel room, but didn't exchange cards that show.....but we do have 2 other card exchanges, one from an earlier show that I haven't posted yet and from last nights show. I guess when the next season of "Survivor" begins it will be our all Christmas card exchange.....looking forward to it!

So here are the card exchange group cards and the "Survivor" mini card exchange. Enjoy!

Almost Forgot!!

We had our card exchange for April a little later in the month, due to Easter being at the beginning of the month. I almost forgot to post it til I was looking back at the blog. So the theme for April was a sketch challenge (the picture of the sketch is blurry), its from Pagemaps - pdf archives - June 2006 cardmaps. The cards are wonderful as usual and we all seem to like the sketch challenges. Our next theme/challenge is GET WELL for the month of May and we are back on schedule, the first Sunday of the month......only 2 weeks between the exchanges but we can do it....of course some were done before the last exchange....yes! you know who you are!....we are all so green and envious and wish we could be organized just like you, keep up the good work. Here is the sketch and the cards.

Keep Smiling!

Foolish Moves

Well I do believe this is the season of the most foolish moves I have seen in all of the "Survivor" episodes. J.T. giving the idol to "little man"Russell....anybody BUT him!; Russell giving Parvati the idol; the Heros not sticking with the orginal plan to vote Parvati off.......not that I want Parvati to win.....she has and is definitely been NOT a favorite of mine in all "Survivor" shows she has played......BUT she made a very wise decision to give both idols away at tribal council. Can't wait to see how Russell reacts back at camp with Parvati.

We had dinner at my house for "Survivor" night, picked up "Swiss Chalet" on my way home from getting my nails done....we did the chicken and rib dinner thing tonight, with lemon pie for dessert......Yummy!

For our cards- Cardzgal used a Stampavie stamp, flowersoft, spellbinders and a Martha Stewart border punch; she coloured the image with Prismacolor pencil crayons. I used a Stampendous stamp, did lots of masking and chalked for the colour, the sentiment is from Hero Arts and added some stickles(may not see that in the picture).

Our card exchange group meets again on Sunday May 2nd; the theme is Get Well....so I will have lots to post after that and the next "Survivor" night. Heres our cards, til next time, Keep Smiling!

What have we been up to?

Well it looks like I'm back from my blogging hiatus...not that I really was on one, just don't know where the time has gone and I really haven't been on the computer that much......which is bad of me since there has been 2 card exchange meetings and lots of "Survivor-Hero vs. Villians"- card exchange nights that cardzgal and I have done.

To summorize the feelings about "Survivor"....I am enjoying this season even though I really don't like a lot of the contestants.....all of the VILLIANS...... and UGH!!!!!!!!! why don't they see what Russell is doing, I dislike him the most and I guess JT has joined the group of most stupidest Survivors : Erik from season 16 who gave the fake idol away, James who had 2 idols and didn't play either aand got voted off and I'm sure there are many more stupid moments that I have forgotten about or too many to put here right now.

Okay onto our card exchanges; March's card exchange theme/challenge was to decorate a pre-cut take out food box....lots of great ideas and a very challenging challenge for us......really outside "the box" for our little group......hahahahaha, yes I meant to do that.
April's theme/challenge was to follow the sketch we had picked, which was from Pagemaps -cardmaps -June 2006....we are all enjoying the sketch months.


For our little exchange on "Survivor" night cardzgal and I are using stamps that we have but have never used before....EVER!...so the much have to have stamps that have been sitting in our little collection our now getting the ink and love they deserve.
Enjoy all the pictures!
This group of pictures is from the past 2 card exchanges.














These pictures are of the "Survivor" card exchange night.
