New Years Cards

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

We got about 4 inches of snow yesterday but as cold as it is it will most likely be sticking around awhile. 

Today I want to share with you a set of cards I made for on the card rack for New Years.

Card Details:

Stamps: Throughout the Year (retired), Light the Sky (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired), Versamark

Cardstock: Brushed Gold Card & Envelopes, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Patterned Paper from Michael's

Accessories: Tailored Made Tags Dies (retired), Festive Pearls (retired), Gold Trim, Gold EP, Heat Gun, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Sadly, the new year came and went and these cards are still sitting on my card rack. 

I may send them out even though we are almost a week into it. I don't think anyone would mind. Hope your new year is off to a great start!

Masculine Happy Birthday Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have 2 cards to finish up for Audrey and then her order is done and ready to get delivered tonight. I have a doctor appointment today @4 pm for a recheck of my Mounjaro injections. Since I am no longer sick with the flu I am feeling so much better even on this injection. Yesterday I even had a little spring to my step and cooked supper which I haven't been able to do in 2 weeks. Smells of food still kinda turn my stomach but I am getting better with it. I joined a Mounjaro Support Group and have learned alot about this medication from other people's experiences. Most people recommend that you drink protein shakes to help with the nausea. It has helped and also helped me to start eating more. I probably won't know what my blood sugar & A1c is for about 2 more months but I am hoping it is going in the right direction. I will let you know tomorrow how my appt goes.

I do have 2 cards to share with you today that I made for Audrey.

She wanted 2 cards for the priests at church who are celebrating birthdays. This is what I made for her...

Card Details:

Stamps: Throughout the Year

Ink: Cajun Craze, Lost Lagoon

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Tartan Foil DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin Seal

I'm anxious to see Audrey tonight to catch up. It's been awhile.

We did talk on the phone yesterday and she seemed in really good spirits and was headed outside to do some weeding in her flower bed since the weather was so nice!

Fragrant Trees Birthday

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a card made with a big background stamp that was in the Holiday Mini but has carried over. It is called Fragrant Trees Background. I only recently had a chance to ink it up and this is what I made with it...

Card Details:

Stamps: Fragrant Trees, Throughout the Year

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Basic White

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies, Ribbon from my stash, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was literally a 10 minute card from start to finish and one that will mail flat!

Yesterday we got all the ceramic trees in the family room packed up for another year. Kelsey & Shady came over for supper then once I had the dishes washed I went back downstairs and cleaned up and put the normal stuff back out. Today I am going to strip beds and get sheets & quilts washed. Shawn is still doing his exercises and will go back tomorrow for his next PT session. Still haven't gotten a call to set up his epidural injection yet. Hope that happens sometime this week.

Throughout the Year

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Another dreary day is on tap here in PA.

Yesterday the fog was so dense you could hardly see across the street.

Today it's to be a rainy day and what better to do on a rainy day than stamp!

I have a quick birthday card to share today that was part of Audrey's last order.

She requested a card for a man turning 75 years old and gave me no other idea's as to hobbies so I kept this one plain & simple.

She was perfectly fine with it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Throughout the Year

Ink: Pebbled Path

Cardstock: Pebbled Path, Basic White, Tartan Foil DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies, Alphabet A LA Mode Dies, Pebbled Path Ribbon, Pebbled Path Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday was Shawn's visit at the pain doctor to go over his MRI results. 

He definitely has some issues going on with his back that is causing the problem with his knee. He will start physical therapy this Saturday and will undergo epidural injections to help relieve the pain. Hopefully in a few weeks things will feel a bit better for him!
