Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

Have you ever lost a card and for the life of you cannot find it?  Ha!  Well, that is what happened to me.  I usually keep my finished cards in a basket ready to go when it is time.  Well, I lost my son's birthday card that I had made.  I didn't make the same type of card.  I made the above card with different stamps/dies.  I recently purchased the hamburger die from Honey Bee for I knew it would be great for masculine cards.  I used a variety of stamps/dies.  The balloons are from Paper Sweeties(retired).  The sunflowers are from Lawn Fawn.  The fence and grass dies are from MFT.  The sentiment die is from Honey Bee.   I added twine to finish the card.  It was a lot of fun making this card even adhering the tiny sesame seeds on the bun!  I'm entering this card over at NBUS Challenge.

I thought I'd make a burger card for we found a new burger place to enjoy.  The guys eat burgers and I usually have a chicken wrap.  The burgers are huge!  My hubby had the huge Thurmonator,  which is two 3/4 lb. patties.  He did not eat it in one sitting, lol!

Sorry for the bad photo, but I had to take a photo of it off of my hubby's phone because I couldn't get it to work otherwise.  But, anyways, you can see how huge the burger is!  

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I hope you are having a great Wednesday!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Sheila and Camping!

Hi, Friends!

It's been a couple of weeks, but I've been busy with doing a scrapbook of my dog, Sheila.  She passed away couple years ago.  I finally started the scrapbook.  I thought it would be too difficult, but it has actually been enjoyable with all the fun memories we've had with her. She loved the little green tennis balls.  She would run and catch them, but she would also just tear them apart by chewing off all the covering.  I'm sure she was thinking...It's ok, Mom!  You can buy me more tennis balls!:-)

We've also been busy camping at one of our favorite spots in Ohio, which is Hocking Hills.  We were very happy to see the waterfalls this year since they've had rain.  And, this year I was able to hike more due to having two new hips!  Here are several photos of our trip...

We had perfect weather to hike on Saturday.  We had a lot of fun camping!  We played corn hole, played cards, rode bikes, and swam.  We sat around the camp fire and had smores.  We may get out one more time for camping.  It's hard to believe that it's September already.  Time sure flies when you are having fun!

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great rest of the week, take care!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for a friend.  She loves the color purple.  I started with a dark purple card base and paired it with Waffle Flower postage die and stamps.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee.  The flowers and leaves are from Lawn Fawn.  I used distress ink for the background and some ink splatters for interest.  I'm entering this card over at the Triple B Challenge.  

We went to the Ohio State Fair a couple weeks ago and had fun looking at the animals.  We saw a four-horned sheep as seen below.  We had no idea that there was a sheep that has four horns.  He could do double damage bumping into you...I mean quadruple damage, lol!

Every year they make statues 

out of butter.

I won't bore you with a lot of fair pics.  But, just two more pics for these are my favorite animals, which are my Nicky and Coco.

Ok, friends that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  I hope you have a great rest of the week!  Take care!

Hugs!

Thinking of You!

Hello Friends!

I hope you all are doing well on this fine Friday afternoon!  I was organizing my craft room a bit and noted that I had a kit from Simon Says from a couple years ago.  I did use some of it previously.  The design paper is so lovely.  I put it to good use with the flowers dies that were included in the kit along with the ribbon and stamp set.  The sequins are from Simon Says, also.  I made two more cards with the same kit as seen below.  I'm entering this card over at Pretty Papers Challenge.

For this card, I sprayed the die cut flowers with Distress Spray (Fossilized Amber).  The sentiment was embossed.  Sequins added and I drew lines along the bottom border for interest.  A ribbon tied to finish the card.

For my last card, I added a navy blue panel under the design paper.  The pink seam binding ribbon is from Paper Sweeties.  A strip of navy blue paper embossed with the sentiment and sequins added for the final touch.

The cards were so easy to make and it felt good to use up the pretty design paper from the kit.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  I hope you have a great weekend, take care!

Hugs!
