Happy Birthday!



Hi, Friends!

I took a break from Valentine cards and started working on birthday cards.  The above card is for a former co-worker.  She was a mentor of mine and such a wonderful caring nurse!  The flower dies are from Altenew.  The embossing folder used for the background is from SU and the sentiment is from MFT.  The die cut behind the sentiment is from MFT, also.  I'm entering this card over at Simon Says Stamp.

Well, that's all I have for today.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!

Happy Valentine's Day!



Hi, Friends!

I'm back again with more Valentine cards.  It's hard to resist not creating with the fun and cute images from Lawn Fawn. Love those sweet strawberries!  The heart circle frame is from Lawn Fawn, also.

Next up,


Another card using the same circle frame.  The heart image is from Lawn Fawn, too.  I had a Pink Fresh cover die already adhered to the base of the card, but I didn't like how it looked.  I let some of it peek through and added heart design paper over it.  It still may look too busy, but I do like the heart paper more for the background.

Last card,


For my last card today, I used a rose image from Newton's Nook.  The heart die is from Newton's Nook, also.  I used a scallop die from Pretty Pink Posh for the sentiment.  The roses were colored with copics and gems added to the centers for the final touch.

Just one more thing to share...

We have a new kitty added to our family.  It came to the back door a couple weeks ago out in the frigid cold.  We took it in and our vet's office posted it online to see if it was anyone's kitten.  We also asked at a couple shelters.  We weren't going to keep her, but the shelters were full.  We took her to the vet for her vaccinations and to make sure that she wasn't pregnant.  So, we now have a new kitten about a year old named Coco!  She seems to be getting along quite well with our other cat, Nicky.  Both cats are of great comfort to us especially after our dog, Sheila, passed away last month.

Ok, friends, that's all for today. Thanks so much for dropping by today! I hope you all are doing well and staying warm!  Take care!

Hugs!

Hugs and Love!




Hi, Friends!

I continue to work on Valentine cards.  It's been great card therapy for me lately.  My sweet mother-in-law, Ann, passed away recently.  She was a nurse for many years and gave excellent care!  She will be dearly missed by many!

For, my card I used the new Newton's Nook stamp set and die.  I had fun coloring the cute images with my copics.  I'm sure these images could be used for birthdays or an anniversary, too.  

We are getting snow here today.  It certainly looks and feels like winter!  My sis went to Florida in November.  She came back just for Christmas and I'm sure she's happy missing all this snow and cold.  I don't mind the snow, but when freezing drizzle is in the mix it's not a good thing.  We are expecting freezing drizzle tonight.  

I hope you all are doing well and have a great weekend!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Heart Day!


Hi, Friends!

It's been a couple weeks since I've been here.  Christmas season is always very busy, but it was a great celebration with family and friends!  And, I'm wishing you all a blessed happy healthy new year!

For my card as seen above, I have a mix of products.  The new ones that I used are the Lawn Fawn strawberry images, bow, and sentiment.  The circles are from Pretty Pink Posh and the heart frame is from Waffle Flower.  Those sweet strawberries were so fun to color!  Yum yum for chocolate covered strawberries!

I'm entering this card over at the NBUS Challenge



I think a lot of the country is cold...brrr!  We are to have some snow for Ohio, but I think it will miss us.  I'm already looking forward to spring.  How about you?

I thank you very much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great week, take care!

Hugs!
