Happy Birthday!



Hi, Friends!

It's been awhile since I've been back here on my blog.  We were on vacation last week and we saw lovely fall color in Vermont.  The color on the trees was so beautiful!  We also managed to visit several more states along the east coast to meet our goal of visiting all fifty states!  The weather was a bit chilly at first in Vermont, but the days warmed up quite nicely as we visited the other states.

Anyways, I'd like to share with you the above card that I made for my niece.  The image and sentiment are from Lawn Fawn.  The tag die is from Sunny Studio.  I colored the image with copics.  I do have the male scarecrow, so I couldn't resist recently purchasing the female scarecrow, too, so cute!



Our last state that we visited was Delaware.  We stopped at a
Veteran's park and took this photo with our T-shirts.





While we were in Vermont, we saw this
 gorgeous tree in lovely color.


A view of the church in Stowe, Vermont.  They
were working on the steeple.



A highlight of our trip is when we were in Point Pleasant, NJ
and we met Bruce Springsteen at an ice cream shop.  Such
a nice down to earth guy, so sweet!


Ok, friends, that's all for now!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!

Happy Halloween!






Hi, Friends!

I made a couple more Halloween cards for friends.  I already had the witch image from MFT colored, so I thought I would make a card.  The spider and web die are from Pretty Pink Posh.  

Another card...



All images are from MFT.  The fence is from Pretty Pink Posh and the cloud stencil is from Simon Says.

My heart goes out to all those affected from the last hurricane.  And, I can't imagine another one is on the way.  I pray that it weakens.  

That's all for now.  Take care and have a great week, hugs!

Happy Halloween!





Hi, Friends!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've been back here on my blog.  But, I have had lots of fun making Halloween and Thanksgiving cards!

Can we go back in time to the 70's?  Yes, the disco days, lol!  Do you remember the song, " Staying Alive"?!  I sure do!  And, what fun to have these stamps/dies from Taylored Expressions!  The design background paper I used is from LDRS that paired up well with those dancing skeletons!  I'm entering this card over at Double D Challenges.




For the inside of the card...


Another fun sentiment for the inside of the card!

I made a card using purple and green and here is the front of that card...




And, behind the doors…



Ok, friends that's all for now.  I hope you have a great rest of the week, take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!


Hi, Friends!

I thought I'd better get this card posted before I send it out to a birthday girl out west!  I just love all the cute images and awesome sentiments with this wonderful desert themed stamp/die set!  

For my card, I used distress inks for the sky on water color paper.  I then colored the cacti with copics and added the Cactus Hillside Border.  I added triangles on the snake for more interest.  I'm sure I'll be using this set often for family who live out in Arizona!

I'm entering this card over at the Lawn Fawn Challenge!




Ok, that's all for now!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great week!

Hugs!
