This is my second card for today. This one I also will enter in Joan's Gardens 25th challenge
It's been since August since I lasted posted on my blog. A lot has been happening....gardening, sick hubby, and now getting ready for Christmas.
Finally! I'm back to blogging again! I have had a busy summer which included the trip to the stamping show in NC last week! We had such a wonderful time!
A sweet little boy had a birthday yesterday so I made him this card not knowing at the time that he just loves ducks!! He loved the card and I'm glad I made him happy!
Color Challenge for GKD's Release party. Love the colors Lemon drop and tempting turquoise together. I "pieced" the quilt blocks onto lemon drop cs The images are from Nina Brackett's Nana's Needlework. The dp is from SU and also the tempting turquoise cs. The hinges on teh basket are brads from GKD Spring Mix Stamp TV Kit. I colored them with copics to match the basket. Stamped and cut out the shelf and fastened it to dp w/scor pal tape. Stamped basket on dp then stamped it on white and colored w/copics, cut it out and adhered to dp. I haven't put a sentiment on the inside yet..probably use as a note card. Haven't posted anything for a while...3 funerals !
This is the inside view. I used the grass from Sending Sunshine by Theresa Momber and the sentiment from Spring Mix Stamp TV Kit.

I had a wonderful lunch Wednesday with 2 dear people..Diann, my cousin and Linda my niece. They hadn't seen each other in about 9 years! Diann and I arrived at the restraurant 15 minutes before schedule and decided to wait in my vehicle until we saw Linda arrive. At around noon I decided that maybe I'd better check inside! We had missed her! She had been sitting inside since 11:30 waiting! LOL! Our server came by so many times to take our order and we weren't ready that she finally said, "When I see your menus closed, I'll know your're ready to order!" We left her a nice tip because we were there until 2pm so she didn't make any money off that table! It was so nice to catch up with family!!
Wednesday, I had a wonderful lunch with 2 dear people..Diann, my cousin, and Linda, my niece. They hadn't seen each other in about 9 years! Wonderful reunion for us all! Diann and I got to the restraurant 15 minutes ahead of the appointed time. She got into my vehicle which was parked facing the door so we could see people going in. We watched for Linda until 11:55 and I told Diann, Let's go in..maybe she slipped in without us seeing her! SHE DID..She'd been waiting inside while we were outside! LOL!

Happy Birthday Mark! I have a wonderful son-in-law and is well deserving of all the happy birthday wishes he gets! He's an avid fisherman so I thought this card suits him! I used SU Blue Bayou, Pumpkin Pie and white CS and velumn over the fish. The fish image is from the new set by Asela Hopkins called "By Your Side". I colored the fish with copic markers and placed the velumn over it so it looks like the fish are in water. The background stamped with versa mark is from Northwoods. I got it at the Enchanted Cottage in NC a good while back. The sentiment stamped in Memento Ink I think I got at ACM. Got a busy weekend ahead..so good night everyone!
Hi again! This has been a busy week and I almost forgot this little girl's birthday which is today! This was a quick and easy card..using SU lavender and certain celery cardstock. The dp I picked up at Joann's and the little girl image was given to me by my dh's cousin last spring. I colored her with copics and backed her with the certain celery cs so she would pop. My next post will be a card for my dear son-in-law who's bday is next week.
I really enjoyed the release party and all the beautiful samples of the new stamp sets...can't wait to get mine. I had made another card for this challenge and hated it..so back to the drawing board! The cardstock is Stamping Up So Saffron, White, Blue Bayou. The image is from Nina Brackett's Lovely Shelf. I used nesties on the squares and cuttlebug dotted swiss on the white cardstock. I cut out the rose and vase and paper pieced the vase from a scrap of dp.
I wanted to try the thumbing technique so I used SU elegant eggplant and whispering white. The dp is a freebie from stv. I used Tombow markers 025 and 606, and Marvy green. The ribbon is from SU and the brad from my stash. The image is from SU petal prints and sentiment from SU Warmest Regards. I think I need to PRACTICE this technique a LOT!
Spring Has Sprung..just looked out and saw some daffodils blooming! Hurrah! I found this dp at Joann's Fabrics. The Cs is SU Barely Banana and whispering white. I used the dotted swiss folder in the cuttlebug, then used oval nesties. Colored with copics and added some yellow ribbon from my stash.. Added stickles to the flowers, but you can't see them. The image is from Nina Brackett's Lord of the Season.
My second post!! How am I doing? I did this card for the Monday green challenge on STV. It's on Certain Celery CS by SU with SU dp. The images are the tree from SU's Lovely as a Tree and Warmest Regards. The little deer is from Theresa Momber's Life is Good. I watercolored the tree and grass. I'm just getting a few of the wonderful stamp sets from Gina and other designers..Hopefully my collection will grow. Well, I'm off to see the oral surgeon..my body attacked my eye tooth and this is day 2 in the dentist chair..Ouch!
