My adorable grandson, Zackary was here last week for an entire WEEK! We had such a great visit. I miss him so much. He is growing up so fast. I can't believe he's only 10 and will be in 5th grade in just a couple of weeks! My how time flies!

He's a fabulous kid though. He loves God, and family. Is very giving of himself and his time. Great all around kiddoe, but I'm his Nana so I might be a little biased. :-)

Here he is with my dog, Seamus. They love each other too!

 

So now to my card for today. I've been on this Copics craze lately. I think everyone is. But for me, I want to learn how to color beautiful hair. Alas, my practices are not making perfect. Soo... I color hairless images. LOL Below is an owl from Karleigh Sue Digis on Etsy. The image is colored with a combo of Copics and Spectrum Noir. I added some Martha Stewart glitter glue (it was a birthday gift from my friend, Nancy).

The green flower was a piece of tuille ribbon I gathered up and shaped into a flower. Added a little fuschia button sticker and some punched branches from my Stampin' Up! Build a Bird punch. She's done!

Hope you enjoy looking. If I can get them all downloaded I have more colored images to share. Later!

22 for Treats

Trick or Treat,

smell my feet,

give me something

GOOD TO EAT!

Remember that little rhyme?

Well, your trickster will be moon over stars for one of these little gifties. These were created using the Stampin' Up! Petal Cone Die. I cut equal pieces in orange and black and put them together to make these Halloween candy holders. Since his first year of school (pre-k till now 2nd grade) I have been making gifts for him and his classmates for holidays. This time I chose the Petal Cone Die to make the little gift boxes. There's various stickers my hubs picked up for me from one of my local craft shops. The little scalloped pieces (part of the die), I chose to make the focal point. The orange and black banners are also a part of the die and I wrote "Happy Holloween from Zackary" on each one. The kiddoes are going to LOVE these!

This project was entered in PaperTakeWeekly's Challenge - Anything Goes

Easter Basket - Zack's Class

Zackary attends St. Joseph's Catholic School in Bryan, TX. I as his Nana and the crafty one in the family, always make treats for Zack and his classmates for the holiday parties. Halloween and Christmas were really big productions. Valentine's Day found me in hospital. His mom made Beignets for Mardi Gras. We skipped St. Patty's Day as he is out for Spring break and visiting me now. That brings us to Easter. I ordered these clear acrylic carrots in February. So after Zack got here I sent my hubs into the local superK(roger) to purchase Jelly Belly Beans in bulk. Maybe that was a mistake - note to self, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans cost $6.49 per lb. in bulk. Hubs being hubs, he bought what he was told to buy. $44 and some change later we had 3 bags of Jelly Belly Beans - 2 tangerine and 1 green apple. Well, as is with kids, those 3 bags of jelly beans and those acrylic carrots drove Zackary a little cookee. So Tuesday morning we got up early, drove Poppa to work and buzzed over to Mrs. Sue's house for a play date, with the favor supplies in tow. Sue had some tangerine and some green curling ribbon so we were ready to rock this project out. Zack was in charge of the filling of the carrots (2 scoops of tangerine and one scoop of green apple), fold the tabs in and close. Sue cut the ribbons, I tied the ribbons on and Sue made the ribbons curl! Don't they look cute in this little basket!

Yo-Da Man! Zack's 7th Birthday~~~

Yoda Cake  &  Just one of the 100+ photos taken of the Happy Birthday Boy!

That is Zack's buddy Josiah on the left in the lime green shirt and Alex on the right. I got tons of compliments on my Yoda. I was disappointed in how he turned out myself. But he seemed to be a hit with everyone; children and grownups alike.

I've been making my grandson, Zackary's birthday cakes since he turned 3. As soon as I find pictures I will add them to this post.

Zack's 6th birthday party was at the ice skating rink in College Station. This was his cake.
