Happy Birthday!





Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a masculine birthday card that I made.  Lots of bright shiny stars on this card to help celebrate the birthday guy!  The stars were die cut using dies from Sweet 'n Sassy.  The paper is from MFT.  And, how sad that MFT is going out of business.  I have lots of MFT stamps, paper, and dies.  I certainly wish Kim lots of luck on her next adventure! 

We made our first camping trip last weekend to one of the state parks here in Ohio(Alum Creek State Park).  We had a great time even though we had a couple rainy days.  Our son, his friend, and son's dog came along for the camping fun.  We are planning another trip to Hocking Hills next month.  We are looking forward to it!

Here are a few camping photos...

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I thank you for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!

Happy 4th of July!



Hi, there!

Happy 4th to all my family and friends in the USA!  What fun things did you do to celebrate?  We watched the fireworks last night and today we went to Maumee Bay State Park for a picnic.  It was quite warm, but we were thankful for the breeze.  Afterwards, we stopped for ice cream to cool off!

Today, I'd like to share with you a simple card I made for my sis.  She loves anything patriotic.  It was a patriotic thank you card for she brought over delicious lasagna.  

The card was made using Carta Bella paper and die cut.  The flower accent gems are from SU.  I think I am going to hoard them for they are so pretty!  Twine added to finish the card.

I hope you are staying cool!  It's still hot here, but the humidity isn't too bad today.  It might just be a hot summer for us.

Coco wanted her belly rubbed.  She thinks she's a princess!


Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful safe weekend!  Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs!
