Happy Birthday!

Happy Fall!

It's a beautiful fall day.  Very windy, but the sun is shining!  The tree colors are starting to turn and there are many beautiful ones with lovely color!  The above card is for a friend who has a birthday next month.  

I stamped the new fall image from Newton's Nook onto cream colored card stock.  The images were colored with copics.  The sentiments are from Simon Says.  Dots to the centers of the sunflowers and twine were added to finish the card. I'm entering this card over at  NBUS.

As stated above, I mentioned beautiful fall colors.  The photo below is a neighbor's tree, so pretty!

Ok, back to cleaning the house.  I'd much rather be crafting, but I know I'll be able to do that soon.  

Oops, I'd like to share one more photo.  It's not a lovely one I assure you.  We had a naughty dog yesterday evening.  We came back home after having dinner at a friend's house and saw quite a mess.  We got the new trash can awhile ago thinking that there was no way that Sheila would be able to get into it or knock it down.  Well, knock it down she did and what a mess!  I do have to say that she was unhappy that we left the house a couple times yesterday, so I believe it was her way of saying ...."You've been gone too long." Thank goodness that there wasn't anything in the trash that harmed her.  She is really something, but we love her!

Please disregard the "bless" sign.  We

did not feel blessed when we saw the 

mess, lol!

Sheila being an angel today!

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

Hugs!

Friend...

Hi, there!

I hope you are doing well on this fine Tuesday evening!  It was a nice fall day that got up to about 68 degrees.  Tomorrow will be even better in the 70's.  

I'd like to share a card that I made for my hair stylist.  She and her husband have many bee hives and sell honey.  So, of course, I wanted to include a sweet little bee on her card.  

For her card, I started with a white card base and used a PTI stencil for the background.  The stamps and images are from Concord & 9th.  I sponged some orange ink on the large flower petals for interest and added color with a copic marker on the small flower.

We enjoyed a camping trip to Maumee Bay State Park last week.  It is a lovely area with many deer.  While we were out walking on on the board walk, we saw this little guy as seen below.  He didn't seem bothered by us at all and continued to eat while we were taking in the beautiful nature.  

We may be done camping for the season.  The weatherman says that frost is in the forecast over the weekend....brrr.  I'm not ready for cold weather...are you?

The apple festival is this weekend here in town.  It's that time of year for apples and pumpkins.  I'm looking forward to some festival food, especially the yummy hot apple dumplings with ice cream.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by!  Take care and have a wonderful week!  Hugs!

Happy Halloween!

Hi, there!

I'm back again with a couple more Halloween cards.  And, I think the one above is my favorite one!  My dog, Sheila, is in the cauldron.  Oh, boy!  What trouble did she get into now, lol!  All the dies are from Pretty Pink Posh and the dog image is from La La Land.  This card will go to one of my sisters.

For my next card, I used some wonderful design paper from LDRS.  It made for an awesome background.  I cut out the cute little witch and popped it up in the sky.  The gnome is from Sugar Pea and I stamped stars to his hat.  The pumpkin is from Paper Sweeties.  This card is going to my friend, Nancy, who loves gnomes.

Well, that's all for now.  I've been working on birthday cards lately.  We've been busy around here with different things, but we did have a great weekend celebrating two birthdays.  Our son had a birthday on the 15th and my husband's Aunt Della turned 90 last Sunday.  Such a dear sweet lady!  All her family are so kind and had a wonderful birthday party for her.  It was great seeing my SIL, April, and her husband, Ron, who came up from Tennessee, so fun!

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have an awesome weekend, hugs!

Happy Halloween!

Hi, Friends!

It's a cooler day here in NW Ohio.  But, the sun is shining which helps a lot!  I do love fall and it will be here before you know it!

I saw some new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh for Halloween, so I'd like to share with you a card I made.  I'm entering this card over at NBUS Challenge.

The cob web and images are from Pretty Pink Posh.  The first image I did alter just a bit to make it look like my dog, Sheila.  The black cat looks somewhat like my cat, Nicky, but without the white paws.  I forgot to give him white paws.  And, the bunny in the middle because Sheila loves to chase after the rabbits.  The cute rabbits are fun to watch in the yard, but not when they eat my hosta plants, silly wabbits!  All images were colored with copics and the background was made using distress inks.  Enamel dots to finish the card.

I have a couple more Halloween cards made, but I'll share those later.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!!
