Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for our youngest great-granddaughter. I found the pp online. Number, balloons and candles are all from the Silhouette. Balloons and flames have Wink Of Stella on them, number was run through the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles ef. For a little added texture to the candles I scored diagonal lines on them. I’m entering this in Double D challenge, anything birthday related.

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for my b-i-l. Pp and sentiment were found online. Sentiment circles are Stitched Circles from Die-namics, center strips were cut on my paper trimmer. Small half circles were punched from embossed cs with small hand punches. When hubby saw it he thought that was pretty cool to spell out his name. When I first finished it I didn’t realize that’s what it looks like. I just thought it was his initials on each side of the circle. I’m entering this the Colorful Options challenge.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is dear old sister’s first chuckle of the month for 2023. It’s a mini slimline. Background border, image and sentiment were all found online. Sentiment, “I don’t call them New Year’s Resolutions, I prefer the term: Casual promises to myself that I’m under no legal obligation to fulfill.” This is one of the easiest cards I’ve ever made. d-o-s loved it.

Happy New Year!!

Today’s card is for our favorite breakfast server. She is so sweet I just love her. The very suttle pp was found online, rose die is Rose Garden Thinlits from SU, heart with 2 rings is from the Silhouette. The dies were cut from Toner Paper so I could foil them. I used a real shimmery silver foil. I had such a hard time getting a good picture with the foil but I think this one turned out best. It really looks nice i-r-l.

Thanks for stopping by I so appreciate your visits. Have a fun safe New Year’s Eve and have a wonderful 2023.

Hello and welcome. I hope your Christmas plans weren’t too messed up from the all the nasty weather and travel cancelations.

Today’s card is for our neighbor’s son & d-i-l. They sent us a very nice meat & cheese box from a WI dairy as a thank you for helping out their mom. She lives alone so we do what we can to help her.

The wavy lines were cut on the Silhouette, swirly is Swirly Scribbles Thinlits by SU, sentiment is a stamp from SU’s Daisy Delight stamp set. It would be so nice if all cards were this quick and easy. But then, I really like a little challenge.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking to the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our granddaughter’s boyfriend. Actually, he’s more than a boyfriend, he’s been part of the family for several years. The card shape is from the Silhouette. Colors were decided when I found this plaid pp in my stash. While I was placing the pp I saw the two rectangle frames laying on my desk just like this and I thought that might look kind of cool. The letters were printed on the computer, fussy cut, then I added Glossy Accents. Corner gems are from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by I look forward to your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Merry Christmas!

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our granddaughter’s. Background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday ef. The 30 with question marks was printed on the computer and cut out with Stitched Circle die by Die-namic’s. Corner circly things are from a small hand punch. Inside sentiment “It seems like just yesterday you were in your 20’s.” After I had come up with the idea of the number 30 with question marks around it that brilliant sentiment just popped into my head in the middle of the night. lol

Hello and welcome. Sorry it’s been a while since my last post but I’m back now.

Today’s card is for one of our great-granddaughter’s. While trying to decide what to do I thought what little girl doesn’t like unicorns. Unicorn is from and online coloring page colored with Copic’s. The background paper was found online. I masked the unicorn before printing the background and sentiment. For a little sparkle I dropped some Diamond Stickles on a piece of paper and used a toothpick to ad random drops of glitter. When you see it in the light the background just twinkles.

Thanks for stopping by your visits are important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
