Butterfly/Flower Card!








Hi, Friends!

I'm just popping in quick to share with you a card I made while we were away camping.  I wanted to make some easy cards and use up some design paper.  The paper is from Carta Bella.  The die cut images are from Tim Holtz.  Just paper, die cut pieces and some pearl cotton thread to make this simple card.  

We had a great time camping with my sis and her husband near Lake Erie.  We took our dog, Sheila and she did well.  We think she sleeps better in the camper than at home!  We rode bikes, made camper pies, walked along the beach, and had a picnic lunch viewing the beautiful Lake Erie.  I thought I had pics on my phone, but hubby must have them all.  He has a better phone than me for taking pics and he is out helping with the Lion's Club right now.  I'm having some computer issues, too.  I wanted to share two more cards that I made, but I was unable to go to my edit program.  Oh, well, I guess I'll have to ask my son again for tech support.  

Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you all are doing well and having a great weekend.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Summer...



Hi, friends!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card that I made for my sister's birthday.  She loves anything with the beach theme, especially flamingos.  All stamps and dies are from Sunny Studio.  She has three dogs, Ginger, Morgan, and Cami.  So, I thought it would be fun to incorporate them on the card.  They are riding in the VW bus to head to the beach!  My brother actually had a VW bus when he went to college.  Not one that was this colorful, but just the same it brought some good times.  I had lots of fun making this card for my sister!

Not much is happening around here for now.  It's a quiet week, which is great for we will be camping a few days next week and then shortly after that head out for vacation.

I'm still getting used to my new craft room.  It's great to have a place for everything, but I have forgotten where I have stored things, lol!  I still can't find a stamp set that I just used last month.  Oh well, I'm sure it'll turn up some time.  Yesterday, I forgot where I put my embossing powders and I was talking out loud and my hubby said..."Do you need something?"  I told him that I'm just voicing my frustration and hopefully it'll help.  I found the powders shortly after that, lol!

Well, that's all for now my friends!  I hope all is well in your crafty world!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!

Baby!








Hi, there!

How are you on this wonderful Tuesday?  I hope all is well in your world!  I thought I'd pop in quick and share a baby card that I made for a friend's daughter.  I used some old with some new.  The images are new from Pretty Pink Posh and the scallop dies are from Paper Sweeties.  I just love these cute baby dies!  I can see myself using them quite often!

The card is self-explanatory.  It was very easy to make and came together quickly, which doesn't always happen, right?!  The plaid design paper is from Lawn Lawn.  To balance the card, I have two little ducks.  Now I'm thinking, oh my, does it look like mama duck at twins, lol!  Always something, right?!  I tend to overthink things at times.  Inside the card, I have one little duck with a heart. And the sentiment, bundle of joy.

Ok, enough overthinking for now.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care, hugs!

Take Care!



Hi, Friends!

I hope all is well for you on this beautiful Thursday!  My hubby is out mowing the lawn and I'm enjoying some time in my craft room.  I made this card a little while ago and have finally posted it.  This card will go to my niece who needs to be cheered up for she had foot surgery yesterday.  Her fiance bought a kayak recently and when she went to step out of it her foot got twisted.  But, she is on the mend now and he is taking good care of her.

For the card, I started with a green base and paired it with the postage die from Waffle Flower.  The stencil flowers and word sentiments are from Waffle Flower, also.  I just love all the products they have come out with to go along with the postage die.  I'm trying to hold myself back to purchase the recently released summer one!

I'm entering this card over at the The Flower Challenge.


Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great rest of the week!  Take care, hugs!
