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!

S'more the Merrier!




Hi, Friends!

I made the above birthday card for a friend who loves camping.  Several cute critters on this card from Lawn Fawn!  They are having a great time singing camp songs and enjoying smores!  I know it's lots of fun enjoying sweet treats around the camp fire with friends and family!  The s'more the merrier!

For my card, I started with a dark blue background, which was die cut using the Outside Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables die.  Distress spray(fossilized amber) added for the night sky.  Gold stars and a  moon was added for the night sky, also.  The grass was made using the Simple Grassy Hillsides die.  The critters are from the S'more the Merrier stamp/die set.  The camper and trees are from the Happy Trails stamp set.  I'm entering this card over at the Lawn Fawn Challenge.




Supplies:

Lawn Fawn:

We are heading out again with the camper in a couple days.  I think we will have some great weather for some camping fun!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today, take care!

Happy Birthday!





Hi, there!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for my sis.  She loves hummingbirds, so I made the above card using dies from Brass & Bliss.  Do you have a feeder for the hummingbirds?  I do and I enjoy watching them come to the feeder!  I'm entering this card over at Triple B Challenge.  The challenge is about birds, blooms, and/or butterflies.  You can use one of them, two, or all three!




We've had gorgeous weather for the past few days with temps only in the 70's and low humidity.  Sunday will get warmer into the mid 80's.  But, I'm enjoying this wonderful weather for now!  I hope all is well in your world and that you have a great weekend!  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs!
