Happy Birthday!

Hello there!

It's been a little while since I've been here.  Appointments and a camping trip kept me busy for the last two weeks.  Anyways, I'd like to share with you the above card that I made for a friend's birthday.  

I started with a white card base and paired it with an embossed panel.  The cloud embossing folder is from Altenew.  The clouds are from Spellbinder's.  The sunflower and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  The fence and grass dies are from MFT.  I used distress ink on the sunflower for interest,  Gold stems to finish the card.

I thought I'd share just a few photos of when we went camping this past weekend to Hocking Hills here in Ohio.  I did well with hiking Old Man's Cave with my walking sticks.  It's been nearly three months since I had my hip surgery.  I almost didn't do the hike, but I was up for the challenge and happy that I did it!  The weather was perfect and we had a great time!

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

Hugs!

You Are Spec-taco-lar!

Hi, Friends!

I just posted the other day, but here I am again because I checked out some awesome inspiration over at Lawn Fawn!   I recently purchased some goodies from them with the Treat Cart Add-on Tacos.  I just love all the darling critters from Lawn Fawn!  Those critters are having a taco fest and one is celebrating a birthday!  My son often goes to a Mexican restaurant with his work friends, so I thought he might appreciate this birthday card.  I combined sets of Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Window, Critters in the Desert, Treat Cart Add-on: Tacos, and Cactus Hillside Border.  I colored all the images with copics.  And, I used distress inks for the background.  I'm entering this card over at  Lawn Fawn Challenge, NBUS, and Cardz 4 Galz

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn:  Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Windows

                      Critters in the Desert

                      Treat Cart

                      Treat Cart Add-on:  Tacos

                      Cactus Hillside Border

Ok, friends!  That's all for now.  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care!

Hugs!

Merry Christmas!

Hi, there!

How are you doing on this fine Friday afternoon?  I'm doing well here and had a nice lunch out with hubby before going to the grocery store.  I usually don't like to go to the grocery store on the weekends, but it wasn't too bad at all.  I came home and made a banana cream pie.  So, we will have a yummy dessert this evening!

Anyways, I'm here to share with you a card I made to enter because my friend, Greta, is the guest designer over at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge.  I got to thinking that I haven't made any Christmas cards yet.  And, to think that Christmas is just a few months away!

For my card, I started with a red card base.  The wreath stencil that I used is from Altenew.  I used glossy accents on the berries.  I used distress inks for the wreath.  Gold gems and a sparkly bow to complete the card.

Ok, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!
