Mother's Day for a Friend

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Hope your week is going well so far! We are in for a rainy day then some cooler air is to arrive, again. We've been all over the place with temperatures in the last month or so. I crave the days of sunshine & 70's!

Today I have a card to share that I made that Audrey requested for a lady friend that loves her cats! If you've seen all the cat cards I've made in the last year that is whom all those cat cards are for. She wanted a cat card for a Mother's Day for her friend and this is what I made...

Card Details:

Stamps: Cheerful Basket (retired 2022), Sentiment from a retired Paper Pumpkin Kit (April 2019)

Ink: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Basic White, Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Full Basket Dies (retired 2022), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Truth be told....I wasn't quite sure on this card. She asked for a cat with a bonnet on which I had nothing like that in my stash. I never used this cat image before (kinda forgot I had it) and I know she does not like all the bells & whistles on her cards (meaning no ribbon & rhinestones) so I used this particular sheet of paper that has some gold foil in it to dress it up and make it sparkle. To my surprise, Audrey really loved it! I offered to make her another card if she did not like this one and she said NO WAY! I love it!  

Phew! Sometimes her requests really throw me off and I worry whether or not she will like them. LOL Yes, card making for other people really stresses me out!

It's to be a rainy day here in PA today so we will be inside watching football. Shawn is nursing a bit of a cold so the rest will do him some good. Tomorrow we are in for some of the coldest weather of the season so far. Thankfully it will be short lived and by Wednesday we will go back up to more seasonal temps. I am not ready for cold weather!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

It's a rough morning here at the Aungst Pad.

My dear sweet husband has Restless Leg Syndrome and has had it for many years. And unfortunately, our daughter, Kelsey inherited it as well. They are both on a medicine called Mirapex. Shawn's is definitely much worse than Kelsey's. Recently it seems like his medicine isn't doing too much or else his legs are getting worse because they jump all day where as they use to only do it in the evening/nighttime. Last week at his checkup the doctor changed his meds to Clonazepam. His legs jumped horribly all night. He could not get comfortable to sit or lay down to sleep. He paced the house all night then got dressed and went to work this morning. I seriously do not know how he is functioning today. I think he needs to seek out a specialist. They say there are some good doctors at John Hopkins in Maryland which is not far from us so fingers crossed he can get an appointment.

The cards I want to share today I made for Audrey's next card order.

I did not get much accomplished yesterday and today is looking to be about the same but this is the set of Thanksgiving cards I made for her...

This card uses the the dies from the Hello Harvest set, Rustic Pumpkin Dies!

This is the first time using them and I love all the details on these layers that create the pumpkin. It is different dies that you use to build your pumpkin and so much fun!

Card Details:

Stamps: Retired Paper Pumpkin (sentiment)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Garden Green, Basic White, Cottage Gingham DSP

Accessories: Rustic Pumpkin Dies, Leaf Fall 3D EF, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Gold Cord, Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think my cards look a bit boring but the details on those pumpkin dies is my focal point!

And I especially love the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and those new Gold Swirls!

Mish Mash Card Set

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Woke up this morning to a few raindrops but the sun is to reappear and turn out to be a nice day! However, starting tomorrow the heat & humidity is on! Saturday, we could reach a high of 95 degrees! A bit too much especially since we have only had 1 day so far that temps hit 80. Crazy!

Today I have a set of cards to share that I whipped up for on my card rack.

This set uses some retired products. I have so much that I am slowly trying to use it up.

At some point I must have ordered maybe 3 packs of the retired Farm Stand DSP because there are several sheets of each print & pattern. I pulled out scraps of different ones to create these cards just to try and put a dent in it! LOL 

Card Details:

Stamps: Paper Pumpkin Kit (retired)

Ink: Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Peekaboo Peach (retired), Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, Farm Stand DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Peekaboo Peach Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was very happy with the outcome of them when they were finished.

I love the colors.

I also kept these nice and flat for easy mailing!
