Barn Door Birthday

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

It's a very rainy morning here, something we really don't need with the flooding over the last 2 months. It showered off & on yesterday, too. A gloomy weekend for sure!

My plan yesterday was to head out to do errands most of the day then home to get supper and I was going to go downstairs to stamp in the evening. 

Nope, did not happen. 

My kitchen sink decided to spring a leak so that had to be fixed asap.

So off to Home Depot we went and within an hour or so it was taken care of.

Then of course I had supper dishes to wash and then started some laundry.

Sometimes it just never ends!

Ryan has been doing good. Been eating really good which I am glad to see!

Everything is still scheduled for his procedure so we will see what comes from it.

I am in the midst of preparing for a stamp get together with friends for this Friday evening.

I am looking forward to that but waiting & watching to see what Hurricane Florence has in store for the east coast. It may get rescheduled.

Today is the first Baltimore Ravens game of the season! SO EXCITED!

Since it is pouring buckets outside I will be thankful to sit inside and watch.

Maybe I will get something crafted while watching.

Shawn is making a pot of homemade chicken pot pie....one of Ryan's favorites.

Going to be a great day for something warm for the belly.

It feels like Fall weather has arrived!

So today I have another quick & easy card to share made using the Barn Door Bundle.

I stamped off lots of different images from Deb's set to use down the road. It's a great set!

This card was made for a friend's birthday a month or so ago.

She's a country girl at heart and i'm glad she liked it!

Barn Door Seasons Greetings

Hello & Happy Friday!

Our weather is a bit cooler today but still on the humid side.

I don't think sleeping with the windows open is going to happen tonight.

While I am thankful for the AC, it surely messes with my sinuses.

Today I have a cute card to share using the Barn Door set from the Annual Stampin Up Catalog on page 63. This set belongs to my good friend, Deb and she kindly left me borrow it a few months ago.

I was looking to create some Christmas cards with it.

It reminded me of my days at the llama farm where we did craft shows.

For me personally, the wreath upon the door is what I love about this set!

I did not want to create a card with the sliding doors that you see because some people might not know to slide the door back & forth and not only that, to get the door to slide you have to use dimensionals to pop it up and use washers, so it would definitely make your card too bulky to mail. At the llama farm, the door on the milk room where we held our craft shows was just like this one except it was painted white. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Barn Door

Ink: Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Whisper White

Accessories: Sliding Door Framelits, Pinewood Planks EF, Poppy Parade Striped Ribbon, Rhinestone, Sponge, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The making of this card brought back so many fond memories for me of the llama farm.

We had many wonderful times there!

The craft shows ended 2 years ago due to age & health issues.

I did that show for 15 years and I surely miss it!

My thoughts today....

Definitely ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Haha!

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
