Let Freedom Ring!

Is this a record for me?  My first 4th of July card & it's only June 4th!  Before you get excited, it may be the only one I get done.  ha ha  This is another Mo Manning image. I colored her with copics & added some glitter to the little pinwheel.  The paper was from Paper Studio & I added a few star shaped brads.

Pretty simple.  But when the image is this cute, you don't need a lot to go with it.

Have a good week.  I'll be back later with something else to share.  Catch you later!

Moo!

Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had an enjoyable day today.  Mine was exceptionally good.  Not only was the weather perfect, but I got to meet a fellow stamper I've been talking to who is moving to the area.  She is a delight & I'm so excited that she will be living in the area soon.  I have always said the best part of having a stamp blog was meeting so many incredible new friends.

I did manage to get a little coloring in this afternoon & this is a birthday card I came up with for our plant manager who also farms.  His birthday isn't until next month, but when I saw this Mo Manning digi, I just had to throw it in my cart.  Since he does have cows, I'm hoping this card will be perfect for him.

I cut the shape for the card with a Lifestyle die.  The fence is a Sizzix die and the foliage is a Marianne Design die.  I colored him with copics.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!  Catch you later!

Happy Retirement

Hi everyone,

Today I have a retirement card for one of the gals at work.  She is retiring on Friday to work part-time at another company.  There aren't a lot of "retirement" stamps out there, so I had to improvise. I used one of my favorite chair stamps from Printworks Collection to stamp the chair on that floral paper I got at Michaels. I printed the sentiment on cardstock, then used a Lifestyle nesting doily die to cut it out, leaving the sentiment at the bottom of the oval so I could put my chair in the center.

Since I knew it was going to be passed around for a day while everyone signed it, I left the flowers I was going to add to it off.  Sometimes they don't "travel" well. lol  

Better get ready for bed.  It's been a long day.  Catch you later!

Up, Up & Away!

Up, up and away in your beautiful balloon! Isn't that a song from the past?  Or am I showing my age again? ha ha   Well, this birthday card is to replace the little pilot card I made earlier.  I was afraid it might be too juvenile for an adult so I'm going with this one instead.

The image was from Steampunk. I colored it with copics & added a sentiment from my computer. The embellishments were from Spellbinder dies as was the die I used to mat the image.  The paper is from K & Co.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend & are having a great week!  Catch you later!

Heads Up!

Hi everyone,

Isn't this the cutest image?  I need a birthday card for someone who flies & decided even though this isn't an "adult" flyer, it would work.  The image is from Mo Manning.  And  the cute clouds are from Memory Box & the other dies from Lifestyle Crafts.  I colored him with copics & added a little plane from Hugware.

I hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful three day weekend! We just can't have enough of those can we?

Catch you later!

Relax

Hi all,
It has been a busy week.  I thought I would get a lot more done this week, but we are super busy at work right now which leaves me no time or too tired to work on anything.  I also had a family birthday card to do last nite so that took up the one nite I had time. Today's card is a birthday card for one of the guys at work. Nothing exciting or special, just basic happy birthday.  The image is from Mo Manning & it was colored with copics.

I hope you all have a great Friday & a spectacular weekend! Enjoy the extra day! Catch you all later.

Are you cured yet?

Today's post is a quick one.  I hadn't really intended to make a card tonite as I worked late & was tired. You know how that goes...But one of the guys at work has been out with infection in his knee & everyone wanted a get well card for him. I decided I had better get it done today so we can get it in the snail mail & he would get it before he returns to work. This is an old Stampin Up set I've had for a long time & still love. I colored it with copics & used a Spellbinder die for the matting.

I didn't put a lot of embellishments on it, just kept it plain & simple. Guys don't go for the cutesy cards the way we do. lol  Hopefully, he will just be glad we remembered him.

Have a great day tomorrow.  Catch you later.
