Hello and welcome. I’m following in buddy Gayles footsteps by making a Summerwheen card.

Background paper was found online. Pumpkins are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. The two stacked pumpkins are popped up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, then I tore the cs around the sentiment and spooked it up using a cotton ball and Chocolate Chip stamp pad and popped it up.

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 our daughter’s m-i-l who was just diagnosed with lung cancer for the third time. The first time she had surgery and chemo, second time just surgery. This time it’s inoperable so she’s having radiation treatments. I want her to know we’re thinking of her and hoping for the best.

Patterned paper was found online, labels are Spellbinders Labels 1, sentiment was printed on the computer. Labels are popped up. I’m very proud of myself for cutting only one piece of pp wrong.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son-in-law. Patterned paper was in my stash, die cut square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, printing was done on the computer. For the 1/4″ strips I ran a piece of gray cardstock through Stampin Up’s Corrugated Dynamic ef. before cutting.

Since we live in Sun City and he really enjoys coming to visit, the inside of his card says, “Congratulations, you are now eligible to live in Sun City”. I’m such a sweet m-i-l.

Hello and welcome. I finally got the courage to try making a three point card. Unfortunately, when I had it all done, I realized I didn’t leave a border around the inside patterned paper. Well, I decided it’s going the way it is. This is for our daughter & s-i-l’s 29 anniversary and they’ll forgive my mistake.

Patterned paper was found online, Dies used are unnamed stitched ovals that I bought on Amazon. Die cut sentiment is popped up.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was started last week with some input from my daughter. She picked out a little beach girl from an online coloring page, but my fingers were not cooperating with coloring. The arthritis in my fingers has been pretty nasty lately so I’ve been wearing compression gloves most of the time and using markers doesn’t work too well. So, I looked for beach girl clip art on the computer. Puppy was in my stash. Girl and puppy were fussy cut, clip art beach ball was punched with Stampin Up’s 1 1/2″ circle punch. I printed Happy Birthday on the ball before punching. Sky was made using a cotton ball with Soft Sky stamp pad and a handmade paper cloud template. Ocean background paper was in my stash. To tear the wavy edge, I used an old tearing tool from Stampin Up. Paper for the sand was found online and I tore the top edge. Since my daughter helped me with the layout but I didn’t finish the card while she was here I will send this to her for her birthday.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and try to stay out of the heat.
