Happy Anniversary!

Hi, Friends!

It's been a little while since my last post.  I have quite a few cards ready to share, but today I'll share the above anniversary card for now.  We've been busy with painting our living room.  I finally decided on new curtains.  The paint that is a light gray has already made a big difference.  

For my card, I started with a white base and paired it with a frame from The Greetery.  The flowers are from Altenew, which were colored with copics.  The leaf stencil is from Creative Worship.  Distressed Spritz-fossilized amber was sprayed and gold gems added to finish the card.

Well, I'm going to scoot here for we are getting ready to go camping again tomorrow for a few days.  It was a hot one today and thank goodness a storm just rolled through to give us some rain.  

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Have a great rest of the week, take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

How are you doing on this fine Saturday afternoon?  We just returned home from the movie, Twisters.  My sis and son that it was a great movie, so we decided to see it today.  I used to have nightmares about tornadoes when I was younger.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have one tonight, lol!  It was great getting out and stopping for a bite to eat before coming back home to some rain.  We need more rain for our lawn is truly showing the lack of rain.  We've been trying our best to keep up with watering the plants and flowers.  I've lost a couple of hostas this year, but the geraniums are doing very well, so pretty!

The above card is for a friend who has a birthday next month.  A lot of birthdays next month and anniversaries, too.  Anyways, for this card I used a stamp/die set from Newton's Nook.  The fence die is from MFT.  Wink of Stella, gems, and a bow to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at Seize The Birthday Challenge.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  I hope you are having wonderful weekend, take care!

Hugs!

Wishing you the best!

Hi, Friends!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card that I made for my MIL.  I used the new Simon Says August kit.  Such a lovely flower die, embossing folder(so pretty), and gorgeous design papers!  The card is for my MIL who has a birthday next month.  I used distress inks for the flowers.  And, included in the kit are distress sprays.  I used fossilized amber that looks gold when applied.  Gems were added to complete the card.

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

We are off camping again this weekend.  We are going to Hocking Hills in SE Ohio.  A very lovely scenic area.  The weather will be perfect and we are looking forward to it!

Thanks so much for dropping by today, it's appreciated!  Take care!

Sending Sunshine!

Hi, Friends!

I'd just like to share with you a very quick card that I made.  In fact, it's a recycled card.  My sister sent me a thank you card and it had the lovely scenery on it as seen above.  I couldn't just throw it away, so I added a sea gull and sentiment from MFT.  A few gems to finish the card.  I'm sending this card to a friend who has been struggling with some health issues.

We were busy last weekend with a wonderful camping trip to Alum State Park here in Ohio.  It was the first time we were at this park and it was a great time!  We managed to miss the rain until we returned home, but it didn't last long.  We got more rain today, which is dearly needed for it has been hot and humid.  

Here is a photo of my son, his friend, Ryan, and me enjoying breakfast.

We enjoy playing cornhole when we go camping, so fun!

Ok, my friends, that's all for today.  Thanks so much for dropping by!  Stay cool and safe!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!
