Happy Birthday, Mr. Bob!

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I am sharing a sweet birthday card made for a very nice man that lives in our neighborhood, Mr. Bob. We've come to know Mr. Bob thru Kelsey but also he walks everyday and he will stop and chat with us if he sees us out. He goes into the restaurant every evening for his supper and he always sits in Kelsey's section. He came and spent Christmas Eve with us this past year and it was so nice to spend time with him. He is widowed and his son & DIL lives directly across the street from him. Anyways, he recently celebrated his 84th birthday! We treated him to a bouquet of balloons and a gift certificate for the restaurant. He was so overjoyed when we went knocking on his door that Sunday afternoon! It made his whole day! So, of course, I had to make him a card!

Card Details:

Stamps: Number of Years (retired), Large Numbers (retired)

Ink: Tempting Turquoise (retired), Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise (retired), Granny Apple Green, Basic White, SEI Patterned Paper

Accessories: Deckled Circles (retired), Large Number Framelits (retired), Lucky Stars EF (retired), Enamel Stars -Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card was made last minute so I kept it quite simple. 

His family later took him out for a big dinner to celebrate his special day!

He's such a sweetheart and i'm glad we got to help make his day just a bit happier!

July 4th Holiday!

 Happy July 4th, Friends!

Hope your celebrating today!

Our little town had it's fireworks display last evening. Ryan & I sat out on the front porch to watch like we do every year. Shawn came out with Bailee for a few minutes but the booms hurt her ears and she would bark each time a loud boom went off. They ended up watching from the front door. 

That was the view from the porch and thankfully it was a beautiful evening to sit out.

So, today I wanted to share the last of my July 4th cards with you.

The first one I'm not sure what the stamp is called but it was made by Stampendous. Someone stamped this image off and sent to me years ago. I decided to have some fun and colored it one afternoon then turned it into a card with some paper scraps from my stash.

Card Details:

Stamps: Stampendous (sentiment & image)

Ink: Memento Black, Blueberry Bushel, Stampin Blends-Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, Basic White, American Crafts

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Lucky Stars EF (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My second card...

Card Details:

Stamps: Inkadinkadoo, Stampendous (sentiment)

Ink: Misty Moonlight, Real Red

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Real Red, Basic White, White Glimmer Paper (retired), K& Company -Americana

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Star Punch (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Both were fun to create!
