Hello and welcome. Wow, this is the first day we have not had the AC on, what a wonderful feeling.

Today’s card is dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “…Please continue to hold. Your call is important to us.” Inside “But your time is not.” This is from a Frank & Ernest cartoon strip. Image was found online, circle frame is Stitched Circles by Die-namics. EF used is from Michael’s. D-o-s could relate to one of those calls.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Hope you have had good weekend.

Today’s card is for our 1 1/2 year old great-granddaughter. Now all our great-grandkids are taken care of for Halloween. This is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest you can see here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115412370170/. Pumpkin head is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Since I didn’t have any orange or yellow ribbon, I Googled Halloween bow clip art and thought this bow would work quite well so I printed and fussy cut it. What did I ever do before Google??? I ran the yellow and orange panels through the Fancy Fan ef from SU. I used a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake stamp pad to edge around all the panels.

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

Hello and welcome. Hope you’ve had a good week.

Today’s card is for my sister-in-law. The sentiment “Don’t worry about getting old… Worry about thinking old.” was found somewhere online. Before printing the image, another online find, I used a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad to create a light sky, then I used Smokey Slate to create kind of a lane. Hubby & I both can see his sister riding a scooter. This was indeed a very quick and easy card.

While going through my Halloween stash the embossed spider web panel fell on my desk then the two die cut spider webs fell on top of that and I said to myself ‘self, this could make a cool card.’ To my surprise this Halloween washi tape also fell out. Trying to think of what to add I Googled Halloween clip art and found these little monster cuties. Monsters are fussy cut. I think this one will go to our 5 year old great-grandson. I’m entering this is Two Old Bats and Make the Card Challenge.

Hello and welcome. Already Oct., where does the time go??

Today’s card is for our 3-year-old great-granddaughter. I think she’ll like watching the pumpkin spin. Again, I found the pp online, pumpkin is from an online coloring page. When printing the two images I reversed one so they would match up back-to-back. Pumpkins are colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. I used Gold Stickles on the hatband buckle. Circle frame is Stitched Circles from Die-namics. I am entering this in Two Old Bats October challenge.

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

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for my niece who loves her pug and likes having some beer. During the night this sentiment popped into my head then I knew what kind of card to make. It is all computer generated which makes this a very short post and feels like I cheated. Whatever would I do without Google??

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Hope this week is starting out to be a good one for you.

Today’s card will be entered in two challenges, Two Old Bats anything Halloween and JUG”S color week orange, green & brown. Mat layer was run through a Tim Holts Bricked ef, window is Small Madison Window die from Memory Box. Window frame is popped up. Top border is Running Goo border punch from MS. Pumpkins are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s, fussy cut and popped up. Spider web is a piece of a die cut web in my Halloween stash. Green background for the window is just a scrap piece of cs. I see now that I should have colored the pumpkin eyes a much lighter green. Oh well, you know what they say about hindsight.

Bummer, I wasn’t able to enter Two Old Bat’s because there were already 3 entries from this site.

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

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for one of our granddaughter’s anniversary. Again, I went to Google and found out wood is traditional for 5th anniversaries. I don’t think gray is a popular color for anniversary cards but to include wood I was kind of limited. For the light gray layer, I scored diagonal lines every 1/2″. I have the diagonal piece to go on top of the Stampin Up score board. For the dark gray piece I scored straight lines every 1/4″. Woodgrain pp was found online and punched with a hand punch and popped up. SU’s Word Window and Modern Label punches were used for the sentiment. After punching “happy” I put it back in the punch and punched again to make it shorter. I did the same thing with the Modern Label punch.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
