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:

Outside Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables
Simple Grassy Hillsides
S'more the Merrier
Happy Trails
Distress Spray-fossilized amber


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!

Hugs!

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!

Dear friend...



Hello Friends!

Happy weekend to you!  I'd like to share a card that I made for a friend.  As you can see, this is a fold card.  I'm not sure what kind it is for I got the instructions from a friend.  If you would like the instructions, just let me know and I'd be happy to share them.  The image is from MFT and the sentiments are from Creative Worship.  I drew in birds for added interest.  I colored the images with copics.  I'm entering this card over at Allsorts Challenge.

Yesterday, we returned from our camping trip.  I don't think we chose a good time to go for it was hot, humid, and smokey.  The forest fire smoke came down from Canada on the second day that we were there.  We limited our time outdoors, but did manage to enjoy a couple bike rides and the playful black squirrels that we saw...so cute!




If you look closely, hubby took this pic
as the fisherman needed to lower his
head while going under the bridge.


You can see it was hazy due to the
smoke coming down from the Canadian
forest fires.  Our hearts and prayers
are with those who have suffered
 from these fires.


Making memories one campsite at a time!


Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great weekend!  Take care and stay cool!

Hugs!

Hello!



Hi, Friends!

Just popping in to share with you a card I made for a friend.  I put some new Pretty Pink Posh goodies to use!  I love the sweet flamingo that can hold some sweet summery treats!  The clouds and sun are from Spellbinder's  The images were colored with copics and distress inks.  I got my inspiration from Brenda Noelke seen on instagram.  I'm entering this card over at NBUS Challenge.




Are you ready for some more hot summer days?!  I don't think I am especially when we have plans to go camping this week...whew!  We will limit our outdoor time and enjoy the air conditioner, I'm sure!  Yesterday, we had a good time driving around the lake(Lake Erie), which is only about five miles from us.  We went to one of our favorite spots with the lighthouse in Marblehead, Ohio.  We took a few photos as seen below...






Ok, friends, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and stay cool!  

Hugs!
