Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

I thought I'd better get this card posted before I send it out to a birthday girl out west!  I just love all the cute images and awesome sentiments with this wonderful desert themed stamp/die set!  

For my card, I used distress inks for the sky on water color paper.  I then colored the cacti with copics and added the Cactus Hillside Border.  I added triangles on the snake for more interest.  I'm sure I'll be using this set often for family who live out in Arizona!

I'm entering this card over at the Lawn Fawn Challenge!

Ok, that's all for now!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great week!

Hugs!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow how time flies!  I haven't been back here for nearly two weeks.  I have several cards already made up, but haven't posted them.  I have another anniversary card, which is similar to the last one that I made.  The scallop frame is from the Greetery.  The images are from Newton's Nook and the sentiment is from Avery Elle.  

Last week was very busy and it ended well with a fun birthday celebration with my son.  I made him a cherry cheesecake that is his favorite, so yummy!  We played cards and even got in a little shopping.  The weather was perfect, too, although we are in need of rain.  I'm waiting for my mums to bloom.  We bought several that weren't with blooms yet.  I so hope they bloom soon!

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  Have a great rest of the week, take care!

Hugs!

A Big Slice of Happy!

Hi, Friends!

I hope you are all having a great day!  After my doctor appointment this morning, my sweet hubby took me out to lunch.  I tell you what I think the doctors and nurse practitioners are getting younger and younger, right?!  Or, I guess it is me that is getting older and older, lol!  Anyways, the nurse practitioner and all the office staff were very helpful and nice.

We stopped at the nursery before going home to buy mums. They will bloom a lovely yellow in about a week or so.  I needed to replace three hostas that didn't do well this summer.  But, the yellow mums will give some great color next to the geraniums.  I can hardly wait until they bloom!

Anyways, I'd like to share with you the above card I made for my son's birthday next week.  What young guy doesn't like pizza, right?!  When he comes back home, we often order from his favorite pizza place.  We will get together with him next weekend to celebrate his birthday.  We're looking forward to it!

For my card, I started with a kraft card base and paired it with a red plaid.  All images and sentiment are from MFT.  Lots of tiny die cut pieces, but the effort resulted in a delicious pizza!

Ok, that's all for now, my friends.  Thanks so much for dropping by today, take care!

Hugs!
