Nathan's Anniversary

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Today I have another Anniversary card to share that was made for another one of Audrey's grandson's. He was married at the beginning of September last year so this is for his first wedding anniversary coming up soon! I have never met Nathan as he does not live close but I have met her other 2 grandson's. If I remember correctly he married a young lady from New York. I'm not sure where they live now as he was in the service. This card is made almost like the original wedding card...

Card Details:

Stamps: All Year Cheer 3 (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Petal Pink, Petal Promanade DSP (retired)

Accessories: Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Very Vanilla Ribbon (retired), Very Vanilla Enamel Dots (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is Nathan's wedding card from 2023.

Yes, I have to document all the cards I make for Audrey so I can look back when she asks about a certain card. It helps to keep me in check!

Today I have some cleaning to do.

We did a cleanout of our bedroom closet a few weekends ago and I still have a few more things toward the back of my space that I need to go through. I've already parted with 2 bags full of clothes that are too big. I am just not ready to part completely with it yet since I am not sure if down the road I will need them or not. I found some Halloween t-shirts that I had no idea I even had because they never fit. Now they are a bit big but that's ok...I will use them this year and that is such a great feeling! I also found my pink silk wedding dress that I bought from Fashion Bug in 1990. (Anyone remember Fashion Bug?) Each day I am getting closer to being able to try that on again and I estimate that maybe by Christmas that might happen. Time will tell!

Translucent Florals

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Phew, did it ever get a bit sticky, hot yesterday! It was a bit too much for me and I know Bailee panted her butt off all evening. Might have to try to talk Shawn into soon getting the air conditioner units put in! I know he hates that job but those hot summer days are knocking on the door. Anyways, I do have a card to share today that I made with the Translucent Florals Bundle & the Delightful Florals DSP that was on the Online Exclusives list but I think it has sold out. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Translucent Florals

Ink: Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist

Cardstock: Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Basic White, Delightful Florals DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Basics 3D EF (Online Exclusives), Translucent Florals Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I may try to play more with this set today before I head out to the dentist this afternoon.

Yea, it's time for another crown! Incase I haven't said it....I am the queen of crowns, quite literally! I'll be glad when this is over with but I am also a bit worried as they are calling for thunderstorms today! Hope they wait till I am tucked away at home!!

Thoughtful Expressions HB

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Did you enjoy a nice weekend?

The weather yesterday was very pleasant for a change! I even spent some time at my stamp table which was the highlight of my day!

I pulled out the stamp set Thoughtful Expressions and played with it. Not sure that I ever used the stamps but I know I have used the dies.

Card Details:

Stamps: Thoughtful Expressions, Very Best Occasions

Ink: Memento Black, Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Moody Mauve, Basic White, Poetic Expressions DSP

Accessories: Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Fun Patterns EF (Online Exclusives), Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm not happy with the coloring of my flower. I wanted the centers colored with Moody Mauve but it was a bit too dark for my liking so I took my Bubble Bath Dark Blend over it to soften it. Not sure I am liking it and may redo it.

Today I have a few chores to do then i'm headed to my stamp table for a bit.

I got so many idea's running thru my head that I want to try while i'm not busy and before I forget! LOL

Thank You Cards

Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

We are starting this morning off with a few sprinkles which are to clear out by lunchtime. We've had our fair share of cloudy, rainy weather as of recent so hopefully we'll get some sunshine soon! Last evening I did get to deliver Audrey's card order. It's always so nice to visit with her and catch up! She looked great and just had her hair done which also looked great! A visit with her always makes my day!

I had a bit of an off day yesterday. I woke up and my feet & ankles were swelled like balloons and I felt alittle off. Once I got some lunch in me I felt good so not sure if I was just hungry or my sugar was low. I whipped up some tuna salad on toasted multigrain bread for lunch with an unsweetened applesauce w/ cinnamon sprinkled on top. Been awhile since I made tuna salad and it hit the spot! LOL As far as my feet swelling....my 2nd blood pressure med is known for it. This morning they are back to normal. My body surely is throwing some werid stuff at me as i'm getting older. 

I have a set of pretty Thank You Cards to share today. These were made shortly after Christmas and put on my card rack. Audrey always requests Thank You cards so these will most likely go to her soon. 

The pretty floral paper is from the retired Garden Walk DSP which I have been working towards using up. I pulled the colors from that 3x3 piece of DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Trusty Tools

Ink: Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Poppy Parade, Basic White, Garden Walk DSP (retired)

Accessories: Countryside Blossoms EF, Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Aren't those colors together so pretty?! 

That is probably my most favorite piece of DSP in the entire pack! 

Not sure what is on my agenda today since I have Audrey's card order finished & delivered to her. Might be time to catch up on some You Tube video's or start thinking ahead to St Patty's Day or Easter because you know they will be here quicker than lightening!
