Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

I hope you are having a great weekend!  I'm popping in quick to share with you a birthday card I made for a friend.  The rose die cut is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the sentiment is from SSS.  

Not much else is going on around here.  I was busy this week and last week with our son and his dog being here.  I felt bad that he drove 2 1/2 hours for a competition that was cancelled at Bowling Green University both weeks.  A former teacher asked him to help judge.  It will be rescheduled, but not until March.  It was cancelled due to fog.  But, it was great to see him and we had a nice dinner out one night!  We had all kinds of weather last month, but we are to get warmer temps and some sunshine soon, yeah!

We looked for carpet the other day and hope to make a decision soon.  We have a sample that will be mailed to us.  I really don't like the thought of packing everything up in the craft room, but it will be great once it's all done!

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

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

 Just popping in quick with a birthday card that I made for our minister at church.  We sang happy birthday to her in church today and they rolled a cake down the aisle with lots of candles!  They carried a fire extinguisher down the aisle, too, lol!  She is such a wonderful pastor and certainly deserves to be celebrated!

For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with an aqua panel.  The cake image is from Sunny Studio and the sentiment is from Honey Bee.  The embossing folder is from SU.  The image was colored with copics.  Gems and a bow to finish the card.

Well, that's all for now.  I may watch a little football with hubby today, but I do want to clean our bathroom closet today.  So, I'll probably go back and forth.  It's a good day to stay inside for we have a rain/snow mix today.  I hope tomorrow is better for we have hair appointments to go to.  

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

Sending Valentine Hugs!

Hi, Friends!

It's a gloomy day here in NW Ohio, but am happy that we didn't get freezing rain!  Such wintery weather we have been having this month with the snow, wind, and very cold temps.  I say spring can't come soon enough for me.  My sis is heading to Florida February 1st and a friend is going to Disney World this week.  I wish I could hitch a ride with them!  Anyways, I stayed in today and finished the above card for a friend.  She loves gnomes, so I hope she likes it!

I started with a white card base and added Photo Play paper.  The quilt design panel is from MFT.  The sticker gnomes is from Photo Play, also.  The sentiment is from Simon Says.  Twine and heart gem stickers to finish the card.

Ok that's all for today.  I hope you all are doing well!  Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!

Hugs!

Valentines...

Hi, Friends!

How are you on this cold wintery day?  It has been wayyyy too cold for this gal.  Even our dog who usually lingers outside for awhile to check everything out hurries back inside to our warm home.  The temp here in NW Ohio is 13 degrees.  It was much colder the past couple days.  I've been staying inside and making more Valentine cards.  I've also done some cleaning and purging.

I usually ask hubby what he wants for meals for the week and he made a great suggestion of making beef stew, so that's what I made last night and I can't wait to have more of it tonight.  Hot soup always does the trick to warm you up when it's freezing outside. 

Anyways, I'd like to share with you a couple of Valentine cards that I made for my hubby and son.  The above card was made using Simon Says stamps/dies.  The mirror card stock is from Simon Says, also.  The set has so many wonderful sentiments!

Next up...

Lawn Fawn goodies were used for this Valentine card for my son.  A Tim Holtz stencil was used for the background.  The porcupine is just too cute holding the Valentine card.  I made the large heart using a punch.  

Ok, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by!  Stay warm and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!
