Happy Birthday!





Hi, Friends!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card that I made for a friend.  I used the daisy Lawn Fawn stencil with distress inks.  The daisy die and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, also.  The gems are from SU.  I'm entering my card over at Seize the Birthday Challenge.


I continue to work on the scrapbook of Sheila and I'm nearly done.  I need to get back to making more birthday cards and fall cards.  There's not enough hours in the day!  I wish I could spend the whole weekend creating, but I will be keeping my hands busy working on little crochet baskets that I'm making for Christmas while we visit our son.  We will celebrate his 39th birthday!  He doesn't seem too enthused about turning 39, but I say every birthday is a blessing!  

Crochet Basket...




We will finally get some fall weather tomorrow with cooler temps and lower humidity.  I can certainly do without that humidity!  We will have rain coming today, too.  

Ok, friends, I'll close here for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a great weekend!

Hugs!

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!

Hugs!

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!
