Gone Fishing...

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

It sure is another humid day here....just enough to have to run the AC which I have come to not like anymore unless it's extremely hot & humid but I run it to keep Miss Bailee comfortable. 

Today I am sharing a card I had made for the card rack but ended up using it on one of Audrey's orders when she needed a fishing card for someone at church. All I had to do was personalize it to the number of years and put the fish on. It originally had a circle panel on it with a Happy Birthday saying and the fish hanging to the side. I just removed the sentiment panel and changed it up to fit her request.

Card Details:

Stamps: Number of Years (retired), Birthday Celebrations (retired)

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Misty Moonlight, Silver Foil Paper, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Twisted Rope 3D EF (retired), Large Number Framelits (retired), Gone Fishing Dies (retired), Birthday Celebrations Dies (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was a suite of products that I loved and wished it would have stayed longer.

I am getting down to the nitty gritty on my designer series paper and may have to go in search of another pack on Ebay unless Stampin Up gives us something new next year!

We shall see...

A Day of Just Playing

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!

It went by so quickly as they usually do!

Saturday, I spend a few hours at my stamp table. I finished up Audrey's order and put it aside. Then I started on a bunch of other cards that I had stuff stamped off in a bin. I have been wanting to use them up. I am working my way thru that currently. Then around 3 pm Shawn came downstairs and asked if I wanted to go to a pool party? The invite was from a guy he works with.

Well, this girl has no swimsuit since losing 103 pounds and at this point I was horrified what I'd even look like in one. So, I agreed to go but I was not going swimming. We had a good time, so we were glad we went and made some new friends along the way!

Sunday, Mr. Shady arrived to stay with us a few days while Kelsey is on her mini vacation. I think he is a bit homesick and missing his mom but doing great! He loves to be out in the yard barking at the birds but it's just entirely too hot & humid to let him out there longer than 10 minutes at a time. 

Today, Miss Bailee goes to get groomed so Mr. Shady will be here by himself all afternoon. 

Ok, let's get to some cards shall we....

Card Details:

Stamps: Unbounded Beauty

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Timeless Plaid DSP

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies (retired), Twisted Rope 3D EF (retired), Unknown Deer Diecut, Very Vanilla/Pecan Pie Ribbon, Linen Thread, Very Vanilla Enamel Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal

Card Details:

Stamps: Unbounded Beauty

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Calypso Coral, Timeless Plaid DSP

Accessories: Unbounded Beauty Dies, Linen Thread, Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal

I was just playing around with some scraps of paper that was in my package. These went into my birthday bin that I've been working on. Guess I will be doing alot of card making during these hot summer days! I also got my July 4th cards created on Saturday so I'll be sharing those soon!

Anyways, hope your finding some crafty ways to stay cool during this heatwave! I feel like we went from cool spring weather right into an oppressive heatwave!

Gone Fishin' Retirement

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

We made it thru Debby here in PA but not without lots of flooding issues.

Thankfully, we were ok!

This morning Shawn & Kelsey are out running some errands. I am just putzing around and maybe will get to do some stamping later. Thursday & Friday I did so some crafting while it rained. I went thru my card rack to see what needed some refills. Masculine Retirement was at the top of the list so I pulled out all kinds of supplies and created this one...

Card Details:

Stamps: Best Catch (retired), Many Mates (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Basic White, Boho Blue, Basic Grey (Granola)

Accessories: Catch of the Day Thinlits Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Tailor Made Tags Dies, Twisted Rope 3D EF (retired), Boho Blue In Color Twine, Boho Blue In Color Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

This was so much fun to create and I love the variety of stuff!

Happy Retirement

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's to be a dreary, rainy day here today and unfortunately we have to go out in the weather because Miss Bailee has dog grooming this morning. 

I have a card to share today that was in Audrey's recent card order. She needed a retirement card for a man that is a big time fisherman. I was so excited to be able to use the Gone Fishing stamp set since it hasn't been inked in a while.

Card Details:

Stamps: Gone Fishing

Ink: Pebbled Path

Cardstock: Pebbled Path, Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP

Accessories: Gone Fishing Dies, Nested Essentials Dies, Twisted Rope 3D EF, Pebbled Path In Color Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

When I showed the card to Audrey she said...this is perfect!

I'm always happy to help!

Gone Fishing HB

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Today Mr Shady is headed to the Vet for a teeth cleaning.

He could not have any food or water after midnight and has to be dropped off by 9:15 this morning. When he comes home later later today he will most likely be groggy and sleep the rest of the night. 

I also have card #5 to share with you from last Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. I always try to create a masculine card since both girls have lots of men in their lives. Since I got the Gone Fishing Suite I had to use it to make a card for us to make!

Card Details:

Stamps: unknown sentiment

Ink: Boho Blue

Cardstock: Boho Blue, Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies, Twisted Rope 3D EF, Boho Blue In Color Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Twisted Rope 3D EF is pretty cool and goes nicely with the fishing suite.

Update on Vicki:

Vicki's friend that lives close to her has been in contact with me for the last several days. She left me know that Vicki was discharged from the hospital yesterday so I did not call for an update last evening. It is a 3-4 hour car ride from their house to the hospital so i'm sure until they got home that they both were exhausted. Just please continue to keep her in your prayers.
