Happy Father's Day to my hubby!

Good morning! Are you having a good weekend? The weather has been so nice! Not too hot, not too cool. Perfect for the last couple days of spring. I wanted to show you the card I made for my hubby for Father's  Day. It's a very simple card. I let the image do all the talking on this one. No embellishments at all. Just used some patterned paper from Pink Petticoat matted with Bazzill cardstock. This fabulous image is from Kenny K and I think she's gorgeous!! I've got a really cute picture of myself that I got a couple years back when I went to Vegas with my two very favorite ladies in the entire world. We were celebrating turning 50 together. We came across one of those places that insert your face into a sexy pic. We had a blast with that one. Anyway, I had my face inserted into a Cowgirl pinup, so I couldn't pass up this image.

Of course I had to come up with my own sentiment. LOL! And I've got to tell you that he truly LOVED this card when he opened it. heehee  Well....what guy wouldn't??!!

She's colored with Copic markers - The T series of grays and the R20's series for the reds. I used E11, E01, and E00 for her skin. For her hair, I used E97, 99. and 17. I didn't care for how it came out, but it was one of the last things I colored and I just didn't have the time to redo her again. She did take a while to color.  And for those of you that know me, the first part of the sentiment is on the front, and here's the inside

And now I'd like to share some pics in memory of my wonderful dad....Happy Father's Day Dad!

My dad when he was about two years old

What a handsome guy!

He sure did love to fish!

And last but not least, a picture of my mom and dad

Have a wonderful day everyone!! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

cupcakeMAG -- home edition --- plus a giveaway!

addicted.obsessed. in love....

We are currently and forever will be obsessed with our Keurig. The Special Edition Brewing System is the one and only mid-luxury brewing system in our life. It offers a blend of styling and convenient features that we just can't be without. It features chrome accents, a blue, back lit LCD display and our favorite --- three brew size options - 6oz., 8oz., and 10oz --- and it is perfect to use with the latest Brew Over Ice K-cups for the summer!


The 48 oz. removable water reservoir holds up to eight cups before refilling and the removable drip tray allows for easy cleaning and the use of travel mugs. As for the programmable features --- you can adjust the temperature and it also includes Auto On/Off and Digital clock. We love that it won't wake everyone in the house like our previous coffee making machine --- the Quiet Brew Technology is perfect for those quiet mornings.

There are so many great K-Cups to choose from too! And don't get us started on the Hot Cocoa --- to.die.for. We haven't had a flavor disappoint us yet and the options.....well they are just endless.

We currently are loving the entirely NEW way to Brew Iced Coffee and Iced Tea -- just in time for those BBQ by the pool! The Brew Over Ice K-Cups are so refreshing and are never watered down -- they are delish when brewed over ice and make the perfect Iced Tea every time.

And thanks to Keurig we are giving away one --- not to mention, it's the perfect gift for fathers day!
