You Are Spec-taco-lar!

Hi, Friends!

I just posted the other day, but here I am again because I checked out some awesome inspiration over at Lawn Fawn!   I recently purchased some goodies from them with the Treat Cart Add-on Tacos.  I just love all the darling critters from Lawn Fawn!  Those critters are having a taco fest and one is celebrating a birthday!  My son often goes to a Mexican restaurant with his work friends, so I thought he might appreciate this birthday card.  I combined sets of Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Window, Critters in the Desert, Treat Cart Add-on: Tacos, and Cactus Hillside Border.  I colored all the images with copics.  And, I used distress inks for the background.  I'm entering this card over at  Lawn Fawn Challenge, NBUS, and Cardz 4 Galz

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn:  Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Windows

                      Critters in the Desert

                      Treat Cart

                      Treat Cart Add-on:  Tacos

                      Cactus Hillside Border

Ok, friends!  That's all for now.  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care!

Hugs!

Merry Christmas!

Hi, there!

How are you doing on this fine Friday afternoon?  I'm doing well here and had a nice lunch out with hubby before going to the grocery store.  I usually don't like to go to the grocery store on the weekends, but it wasn't too bad at all.  I came home and made a banana cream pie.  So, we will have a yummy dessert this evening!

Anyways, I'm here to share with you a card I made to enter because my friend, Greta, is the guest designer over at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge.  I got to thinking that I haven't made any Christmas cards yet.  And, to think that Christmas is just a few months away!

For my card, I started with a red card base.  The wreath stencil that I used is from Altenew.  I used glossy accents on the berries.  I used distress inks for the wreath.  Gold gems and a sparkly bow to complete the card.

Ok, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!

Thank you!

Hi, Friends!

I had a busy weekend of crafting at a crop with some friends.  I had fun making a few cards using the rose stencil from Simon Says.  I wanted to make this card using the alpha dies from Close to my Heart from a friend who gave me the dies.  I just love the pretty rose stencil that makes for an easy card, which can be used for so many occasions. Gold dots and a bow were added to finish the card.

I'm entering this card over at I.D.E.A.S. by Darnell for Anything Goes.

It's still hot here and very humid.  It feels like Florida!  We will have cooler weather this weekend, though.  I'm looking forward to visiting with our son and going to the Ohio State Fair on Saturday.  This old gal can't take the heat and humidity for too long, so I'm happy to see that the temps will be much cooler!

Ok, I'll post more cards later.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a masculine birthday card that I made.  Lots of bright shiny stars on this card to help celebrate the birthday guy!  The stars were die cut using dies from Sweet 'n Sassy.  The paper is from MFT.  And, how sad that MFT is going out of business.  I have lots of MFT stamps, paper, and dies.  I certainly wish Kim lots of luck on her next adventure! 

We made our first camping trip last weekend to one of the state parks here in Ohio(Alum Creek State Park).  We had a great time even though we had a couple rainy days.  Our son, his friend, and son's dog came along for the camping fun.  We are planning another trip to Hocking Hills next month.  We are looking forward to it!

Here are a few camping photos...
