Today’s card is for the man my hubby hired to take his place when he retired. Here we are 22 years later, and his replacement is retiring. I got the idea for this on Pinterest. Since the business is manufacturing trailer hitches, I decided to add a couple clip art trailer hitches on the business card. It’s kind of plain and simple, but hubby thought it was perfect.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my daughter’s m-i-l. She decided it was time to downsize and sold her big house and bought a townhome. Card is a Silhouette file and the tulips are from an old hand punch. It didn’t start out to be a square card but because of my bad sizing on the file that’s how it turned out. Just another example of one of my mishaps that turned out kind of o.k.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card will be entered in the Peace On Earth challenge. Pp and candy cane foam stickers were in my stash. I didn’t even know I had those stickers till I went rummaging through some of my stash. I have no idea of when or where I got them. Frame is Stitched Oval by Die-namics. Santa Teddy image was found on an online coloring page and colored with Copic’s. Corners of pp were punched with a small circle punch.

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. The saying, “9 out of 10 children get their awesomeness from their aunt” was found on Pinterest. Adding 9 children seemed like a good idea so I Googled ‘Children Playing’ clip art. There was a little editing to do but it was kind of fun. Soft sky background was made using a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad. Since I don’t have a cloud stencil, I just tore the edge of a piece of paper. For just a little texture I doubled scored all 4 edges. I usually put a sticker on the back of my cards with my name but for this one I’m putting Awesome Auntie.

Glad you stopped by to meet Frankie. He’s being entered in the Two Old Bats challenge. This was not a lot of work. Frankie is from the Silhouette. His face seemed a little blah, so I tried to mark it up a bit with a stylus but that didn’t work out so well, so I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to sort of mess up his face. Since I cut him a little too big, I wasn’t able to keep a border around the pp. Pp was found online.

Today’s card is DOS’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment, “My husband always takes the garbage out.. …but never me” is from a Mother Goose And Grimm comic strip. Background papers and image were found online. DOS liked the card and said her husband had never even taken the garbage out. Hope this qualifies for the White with one other color challenge at DoubleD

I thought a slimline card would work pretty well for this Can You Handle The Pressure? challenge. Embossing folder used came with my Gemini. Butterfly die is Vivienne & Darla Butterfly by Memory Box. At first, I had the blue layer directly on the yellow base but it didn’t look quite right and since the butterfly overlay is black I thought a black layer would really add a lot. Was I right?

When I saw this image I immediately thought of my second granddaughter, who is the most like me. My son & d-i-l say, “why did she have to take after Grandma Gerry”. She has my humor and snarkiness. The only difference from the photo is that my granddaughter has always been very blonde.

The background in the photo inspired me to emboss the gray background piece with Tim Holtz Brick ef lightly sponged with Basic Gray stamp pad. Frame is Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Small. I loved making this and can’t wait till she gets it.
