Wetlands Birthday Greetings Set

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! As usual, they go by so quickly!

I'm really late on posting today. I had to finish up a card order for my dear sweet customer then I just got caught up in doing things around the house. We are expecting some bad storms this evening so I wanted to get this done as soon as I could especially since my Dancing With The Stars will be on shortly! One of my favorite shows!

My card today uses the awesome Wetlands stamp set.

I made this card set up ahead of time for when my one customer says she needs a pack of guy cards!

I am pleased with this set of cards!

Thinking of You Card Set

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day once the sun made an appearance!

Today is to be another award winning day filled with brilliant sunshine and temps in the 80's! 

I'll take it!

Today I have a set of cards to share that I whipped up using the Wetlands set.

I am loving the soft colors on this beachy type of card.

I'm sad that this set is retiring but I guess that really does not affect me since I am not a demo. 

This set will still see lots of ink well into the future!

Thinking of You Card Set:

Stamps: Wetlands, Work of Art

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Sky

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Accessories: Lg Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Soft Sky 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombo Mono Adhesive

I also incorporated the tearing technique into these. 

I have not done this in a very long time and just love the look it gives my cards!

Another plus for this set is that they will not cost extra in postage! Woohoo!

My thoughts today.....

Yep!

That's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

My thoughts today.....

I am still nursing my back. 

My doctor got back to me yesterday and told me to take 2 Aleve twice a day and put some Capsaicin creme on my back. If I don't get any relief from that then I am to call and schedule an appointment.

I'll give it to Monday and if I am not having any relief I will call. For now I am still using ice packs and trying to rest my back from bending or twisting. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yipppeee, the weekend is here!

Not sure what the weekend holds since it's still to be gross-ly HOT & HUMID. Blah, this type of weather I can live without! We will probably hibernate much of like we've been doing most of this week. I think my bike is missing me the last couple of days and the way it's looking it's to stay this ridiculously hot. Have I said how much I dislike this weather??!!

Yesterday afternoon I sat and stamped about an hour then headed to the backyard to rake up a few twigs & leaves that needed picked up before trash day. Yea, I was really quick so I did not break a sweat which is unusual for me! Ok so, back to the card...

I had these Hearth & Home Framelit cutouts in my stash since Deb & I had our stamp day. Deb graciously left me cut a bunch out. While I was cutting them I had a vision of my a card with a lighthouse off in the distance. 

Here is my take on it.

I was unbelievably happy with this card once it was finished!! I used the Woodgrain Background stamp on my Crumb Cake cardbase and some linen thread to give it a natural look. The grass flumes in the frame are from the Wetlands set and the lighthouse is from the From Land to Sea set. My inks are Crumb Cake & Dapper Denim.

Thinking of You Card:

Stamps: Wetlands, From Land to Sea, Woodgrain Background

Ink: Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim, Whisper White

Accessories: Hearth & Home Framelits, Stamp A Ma Jig, Lg Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Glue

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
