Sending Sunny Thoughts

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Do you have any fun plans this weekend? 

I am having my friends over tomorrow to make some cards! I'm excited to see them as it's been since April. I have everything all set up and ready to go!

Have you heard about the smoke overtaking the east coast from the wildfires in Quebec, Canada? The last few days we've hardly had any sunshine....it's been covered by the heavy smoke. Yesterday was the worst and the York County Emergency System suggested that everyone stay indoors if possible. Today they are calling for rain showers here so I pray that it helps clear the air & sky!

My friend that had surgery on Wednesday is doing great! I call her husband every evening and check on her. I hope she continues to do well and send my thoughts & prayers to her everyday. I asked if she could have visitors and her husband said yes, why....are you in the parking lot? Oh my, that made me laugh as we are probably 2000 miles away! But I would love to see her and give her a big hug!

The other day I was scouring Pinterest and found a card that I was so taken with. It was created by Barb Brimhall and I had to case it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Watercolor Shapes(retired), Sunny Sentiments (retired)

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Blending Brushes, Basic Black Matte Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It was so quick & easy to make and another card I have in my stash to send out.

It will brighten someone's day for sure!

Retiring Stamp Day #3

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

A snowy morning is on tap here but it won't be anything big and it won't last long.

Tomorrow they are saying 70 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms?!

Yep, another crazy PA weather week!

Today I have another card to share that I made using another Stampin Up! bundle that is retiring. This bundle comes from the current catalog on page 30. It is the In Bloom stamp set with Pierced Blooms Dies. I will say that I was shocked by this being retired because it's a wonderful bundle! Again, it will live on in my stamp room!

Card Details:

Stamps: In Bloom (retiring), Sunny Sentiments (inside-retiring page 38)

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Seaside Spray (retired), Basic White, Vellum, Paper Blooms DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Pierced Blooms Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Hippo & Friends Dies (retiring), Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The front of my cardbase is torn down the edge where the card opens. I wanted to add a bit of texture to it by doing this. I couldn't get a good picture of it with the card closed.

2nd Special HB Card

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Everyone!

I promised yesterday that I would share the 2nd birthday card for my card lady's other granddaughter! I hope you like this one as much as I do! 

Actually, I can't pick a favorite as I like them both!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sunny Sentiments

Ink: Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Flowing Flowers DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Fresh Freesia Ribbon, In Color Jewels, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card lady loves flowers so I know she will love these cards and that beautiful Flowing Flowers DSP. 

We woke up this morning to wet roads and some icy spots but nothing too bad.

Yesterday it snowed a bit around lunch time but the ground was too warm for it to lay!

Our 10 day forecast for next week shows more 50's! I'll take it!
