Hello and Thank You!

Hi, Friends!

Hope you're having a great Wednesday!  It's hard to believe that it's the last day of April.  I had a wonderful time away last weekend at a craft retreat with friends and yummy food!  My hubby is away today with the Lion's Club making some prepares on their grill and cupboards, so I made the above card, held the kitties, and worked on a few other things around the house.  

The card was made using die cut flowers from TE.  The hello die is from Altenew and the fence die is from MFT.  The center of the flowers was made using a punch.

Next up, is the thank you that I made at the retreat.  I made several of these cards to have on hand for my stash.

The card was made using the daisy die from Lawn Fawn.  The scalloped oval is from Newton's Nook.  The die cut panel was made using a die from Emily Moore Designs.  It's a little difficult to see, but it has a pretty design all around the panel.  

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great day!  Thanks so much for dropping by!

Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card I made for my niece.  I used the Pretty Pink Posh dies for the images.  The background die is from Pink Fresh and the birthday sentiment is from Hero Arts, I think.  I have that stamp set packed away at the moment for I'm going on a craft retreat this weekend.  I hope my hip holds up, but it's just here in town and I'll be coming home at night since I haven't been sleeping the best.  I have a hip replacement scheduled for 5-29.

I just realized that I think I have the butterfly upside down?  Should the large wings be at the top?  It's just like me, I get turned upside down at times, lol!

Ok, friends that's all for now.  Time to check on the laundry.  Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!

Hugs!

Thinking of you!

Hi, Friends!

Happy Tuesday to you!  I made the above card for a friend who is having some health issues.  I thought this spring card might cheer her up.  

I made the clouds using a stencil from Pretty Pink Posh.  The bird and branch was made from a SU punch.  The flowers are from Lawn Fawn. The fence die is from MFT.  The sentiment is from The Greetery.  

It's another cold day here in NW Ohio.  It's very windy, too.  Where is spring?!  I'll be happy when the temps are more stable.  We have had extreme temp changes from nearly 70's to 40's.  I have one daffodil blooming at this time.  I'm looking forward to having more bloom and I can hardly wait until our weeping cherry tree blooms.  Hubby plans to mow the lawn this week, too, if he can miss the rain.  I'm sure things will even out soon for it is April after all.

Ok, that's all for today, friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!  Thanks so much for dropping by, take care!

Hugs!

Happy Easter!

Hello, Friends!

Are you ready for Easter?  Just a couple weeks away and the day will be here.  Easter is one holiday that I take the day off from cooking, yeah!  We go out to one of our favorite restaurants and eat delicious food!  Whatever you have planned for the special holiday I hope you have a great day!

The above card is one that was sent out to a my friend, Greta.  She gave me the pretty embossed panel, so I thought I'd make a card for her with it.  Thank you, Greta!  The new butterflies are from Lawn Fawn.  Aren't those the sweetest little butterflies?!  The sentiment is from Simon Says.  I sponged the butterflies with distress ink.  Gold dots to finish the card.

I'm entering this card over at the NBUS Challenge and The Four Seasons Challenge.

Anything Spring

Ok, friends.  Have a happy crafty day!  Thanks so much for dropping by today, take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

How are things with you on this fine Tuesday afternoon?  I decided to use some neglected supplies and bring out my zig markers to water color the above card.  I also used distress sprays of yellow, gold, and white.  I believe I was heavy-handed with the yellow spray.  The spray really does have a mind of its own at times, lol!  Anyways, I was happy with the gold embossing of the pretty flowers from Creative Worship Stamps formerly called Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  The sentiment is from MFT.  Gems were added to finish the card.

It was fun getting out today with going to our hair appointments and having lunch afterwards.  Making the above card this afternoon was fun, too.  Now it's time to do some work around here.  The laundry is calling so I'll scoot for now.  

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful evening!

Hugs!
