Happy Birthday!




Hi, there!

Just popping in quick while taking a break from cleaning!  I'd rather be crafting than cleaning, right?!  But, once I get the usual cleaning done I'll scoot back to the craft room this afternoon...yeah!  

I made a birthday card for my friend's husband, Mike.  He, just like my hubby, loves Ohio State football.  When we all get together, the men talk about football and work.  We gals talk about kids and crafting.  

For my card, I started with a white card base.  The sentiments and frame die is from Jillian Vance.  I cut out the block O from a scrapbook kit.  The label is from SU along with the sentiment.  Twine to finish the card.

And, I decided to take a photo of my Sheila.  She was very intent yesterday on chasing after a cat that came into our yard.  She chased it into the field.  She also saw a little squirrel teasing her from the maple tree while she looked at it from the patio window.  I was hoping she'd forget about both, but no such luck.  She was on a mission this morning to find them both, lol!  No sightings so far today from either critter.  Anyways, here is a photo of her giving me the look.  She says...Come on, Mom, let me out again to find the cat and squirrel!:-))


Well, that's all for now.  I hope you all have an awesome day!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by!  Take care, hugs!

Bless you new nest!

                                        



Hi, Friends!

We have a couple from our church, Dick and Laura, who recently moved to another state to be closer to their daughter, so I made them the above card to wish them well.  We will certainly miss the annual dinner with other church couples at their house.  They had a lovely house on the river with a gorgeous view!  We always had a great time visiting with them.  But, they will be closer to their daughter and granddaughter who live in New Jersey.  We wish them well in their new nest!

For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with red and blue gingham paper from Sunny Studio.  All images are from Paper Sweeties and were colored with copics.  The stamp sets/ dies that I used are Home is where your story begins and Treat Box Add-on: Home&Garden.  Twine to finish the card.

My heart and prayers go out to those in TX who are experiencing flooding.

Thank you so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

For my card, I started with a white card base.  I paired it with paper from Doodlebug, MME, and KI Memories.  Emma's outfit, horse, chick, and sentiment are from the new set What's up Chickie?.  The sun is from the set Island Time.  The clouds are from the set Let's go to the Beach.  The bale of hay is from the set Scarecrow.   I brushed on white acrylic paint lightly to the blue panel to give a white wash appearance. The shaker window was made using Sweet Cuts-Square Scallop Frames. The sequin mix is sequins(Cookie Dough)(Creamsicle), and (Strawberry).

Dies R Us Challenge-September 15, 2019(Planes, Trains, & Automobiles)




Hi, Friends!

Welcome to the Dies R Us Challenge once again for September!  The theme is Planes, Trains, & Automobiles!  You can use anything with a plane, train, and/or automobile.  And, we ask that you use at least one metal die to be eligible for the prize.

I do love some Lawn Fawn, so I decided to ink up the fun airplane stamp.  Maybe I'm still on bon voyage mode from our vacation, lol!  I wanted to add some color and clouds, so I added washi tape borders to my card.  I do love the aqua and red color combo.  This card came together very quickly...easy peasy!





For my card, I started with an aqua card base and paired it with white.  The panel was die cut using Lawn Fawn Stitched Windy Backdrop.  Lawn Fawn Puffy Clouds die was added for the clouds.  The plane was colored with copics.  Twine, washi tape, and red dots to finish the card.


 All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!



 There are so many choices at Dies R Us store!  Hope you check out the store for  amazing selection of dies, stamps, papers, inks, etc.!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge...happy creating!
