You're the Zest!

Hi, Friends,

I'd like to share with you a card made for a friend who is an excellent chef!  We went to a dinner party last Thursday with church friends.  Our good friend, Doug, who is Italian, loves to cook!  I have made him cards before with the MFT chef on it.  I thought what stamp set could I use this time?  He made chicken, pasta, salad.  He had cheeses and bread with olive oil.  All was so delicious!  He had wines and limoncello.  I learned that you sip limoncello, lol!  Anyways, this card was sent and I hope he likes it!  I used Lawn Fawn stamps and The Greetery for the center panel.  I sprayed mustard seed distress oxide spray for interest.  All images were colored with copics.  

We had a wonderful Father's Day weekend!  Our son, Jeremy, came up to visit for a few days.  He washed the car and did some computer repairs.  He's such a helpful computer tech guy!

Here is the Father's Day card that I made for hubby.  More Lawn Fawn goodies on this card.

The mice images are from Lawn Fawn.  The tool die cuts are from a friend.  I just love the happy little mice!  I guess I've been on a Lawn Fawn kick lately!

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great rest of the week!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today, take care!

Hugs!

Thank You!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for my PT lady.  I used copic markers and distress inks for the cute butterflies and pretty flowers.  The background is supposed to be a light blue, but it doesn't show well in this photo.  I'm entering this card over at A Cut Above Challenge.

Well, I have just a little bit of time before hubby comes home from helping with the Lion's Club sandwich sale.  He said he'd take me out to dinner.  I need to clean up my craft room.  It's going to take awhile, but at least I'll clean up my desk area.  I need to organize stamps and find new spots for everything that has accumulated on the desk.  Does that happen to you?  It happens to me all the time, lol!

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

Hugs!

Life's a PICNIC with you!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for my hubby for our anniversary.  I used lots of Lawn Fawn goodies on this card!  I had a couple of the sets, but did purchase the new Crazy Antics stamps and dies because they are just too darn cute!  Our anniversary is later this month, which is the day after Father's Day.  Stay tuned for I have more of the adorable mice that I used for his Father's Day card!

For the card, I started with the Outside in Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Die in blue for the sky.  Simple Grassy Hillsides die for the grass.  The tree and bird are from the set Heart Tree.  The flowers are from the set Garden Mouse.  The sun and clouds are from the set All the Clouds.  All images were colored with copics.  I'm entering this card over at the Lawn Fawn Challenge.  I hope this card qualifies for the challenge since my hubby is my best friend!

Supplies:

Outside in Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables die

Simple Grassy Hillsides die

All the Clouds stamps, dies

Crazy Antics stamps, dies

Heart Tree stamps, dies

Garden Mouse(flowers) stamp, die

I'm also entering this card over at NBUS Challenge.

 

Ok, friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!

Sweet as can bee!

Hi there!

Popping in today to share with you a card that I made for a friend who has a milestone birthday next month!  She loves bees, so I colored the sweet bees from Pretty Pink Posh and placed them against the beehive stencil background from Tim Holtz.  The numbers are from Taylored Expressions.    Polka strips of paper added to the sides to finish the card.

I'd like to share with you a few photos of my sister's bday party on Tuesday.  She had a milestone birthday last month.  We finally got together due to my one sis having knee surgery and I had my surgery.  She turned 80 last month, so we had to have a special celebration for her.  We had a great time at my sister's cottage with great food and fun!

me, Cecilia, Donna(bday girl), Lucretia, Christina

The sign behind us says...80 is only

27 in Celsisus!

This was my sister's bday card for she loves

to garden.  I had already posted this card on 

4-22-26.

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

Hugs!
