Challenge 220~ Pinwheel Patriotic Card

I made this fun card for a table top decoration.

I actually made four of them.  One for each 

of my kiddos, and my dad too.

I love how the pinwheel card has the perfect holding

spot for the flags.  

Click here to get the dimensions for  the pinwheel cards.

I love how each side offers a different stamped image.

And the lovely card fits perfectly into the 

standard A2 size envelope.

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Always Fun Challenges

Challenge #220

Our theme for the new challenge is
"Patriotic"

I'm including a video of my card too.  I'm not very 

good at putting videos on youtube.  But I keep trying.  

HP is quite happy with himself.  Look at the smile.

He is surrounded by his tennis balls, and now  the

proud owner of a volleyball.  If there is a ball 

in the yard, he will claim it.  The kids have to be 

careful with the basket ball, he has popped those 

before too, he just loves to play. 

On our walk this morning we had a visitor playing

peek a boo.  How cute is he?

Game #192 PIzza Thank you Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

AAA Cards

The stamps featured in this card are:
Stampin Up:  Plentiful Plants (sentiment)

and the Pizza stamp is a little set

that I purchased from Michael's.  It 

truly does not stamp a clear image nicely, 

but nevertheless I keep it, because I love pizza.

and It has come in handy for such cards as this. 

Now growing up we didn't eat much pizza, 

but when we did, my parents always got the 

best bar room pizza at Portesi.  

Which is a family tradition now.   Any ways, 

this past week I had a doctor appointment out 

of town.  So after spending all day on the road,

my dear dad brought Hubby and I some pizza and

dad delivered it to us.  We live about 30 minutes 

away from him.  That was so sweet.  

So this is his thank you note card. 

How does one color mozzarella cheese? 

My daughter has been taking me on a little 

trail walk each day.  I love it.  I've been

praying to see something fabulous again.

We've already made friends with the 

blue heron, the otters,  ducks, pigeons, turtles,

chipmunks, rabbits, mice, squirrels,

and we think we saw a fox, 

and now we can add deer to the list.

Thank you Jesus.   My kiddo 

says the LORD hath provided.  

Indeed He did.  I have added a few pictures.

#GDP297~Turtle Friends, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Global Design Project

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Turtle Friends 

I thought the colors were perfect for these

cute little turtles.   

Lately my daughter and I have been 

watching the wild life at the pond.   And 

the darling little turtles make quite a show.  

I love how they climb on a log to sun themselves,

so much work to get up there, and then when 

they are done they just slide off so easily. 

The colors might look different in shades because

I either stamped off, or I used my aqua brush to 

lighten and darken them.

PP546~ Berry Blessings, Sweet Strawberry, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

The Paper Players

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Berry Blessings

Stampin Up:  Sweet Strawberry  

This was a quick simple card, and then the 

smudge.  Oh gosh does that ever happen to you? 

Thankfully I was able to add the little 

strawberry flower to the side of the sentiment

and cover up the disaster. 

Sometimes the easiest looking cards 

are the hardest to make for me.  

I just don't get it.  Perhaps it's the smudges.

Sketch #426 Celebrate with Flowers, Plentiful Plants, Stampin Up

Hello again.  

I wanted to get a card made right away.  

I have a feeling I'm going to be very busy tomorrow.

I have a few cards I've made that need to get on 

instagram.  That is an all day job for me.   

As you can see by this double spacing here,

I'm not technically equipped to deal with such things. 

I am going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Celebrate with Flowers

Stampin Up:  Plentiful Plants  

And just like that, it's not double spacing anymore.

haha.  I have no idea why not, but thankful it stopped.  

Anyways, I flipped the sketch because I wanted to 

use my new vertical Birthday sentiment on the side.

I sponged the background and then stamped 

images of the same color in the triangles.  

I wonder if there is a secret law or code 

somewhere that says you probably shouldn't 

use two different font styles on a card, especially

the front.  Well folks, I broke the rules if there

be any such thing.  haha

Now friends, this is a picture of how my mind 

works.  Going to take a bite out of the apple crisp

I made this weekend.  I see this little face.  

I'm like oh my gosh my crisp is making faces at 

me.  This is what My darling husband has to put up with.  

Health Update:  Still fighting with the autoimmune 

diseases.  The out of control BP is in God's capable 

hands right now, since the medicine isn't working.  

SO living on prayers and Hopefully in August I will

get some help.   It will be my third doctor.  

They just tell ya what you have and leave you hanging. 

No caring no follow ups, nothing.  

Anyways this Wednesday I go to the holistic clinic 

again, and see if the supplements have been helping.  

Thanks for caring dear friends.

Sketch #425 Garden Birdhouses, Ready to Pop, Stampin Up

I can't keep track of time anymore.  It's just 

flying by.   I feel like I'm not giving my 

card making enough attention.  Makes 

me sad.  

It's mostly my fault.   I have been preoccupied 

with a bakery story game, but also the main 

thing is I'm trying to walk with my daughter,

bless her heart, and it's very hard for me, 

so when I get home I'm pooped right out. 

Very much pain and have a hard time 

doing anything the rest of the day.  Then there

are the phone calls with my dad.  I love him 

but 2-4 hours a day is making me a tad crazy.  

Any ways enough of my complaints.  For happy

news, our darling kiddos all came over to 

celebrate HP's 10th birthday.  Can you believe

he is that old?  I hope he stays strong and 

healthy.  We all love this pup so much.  

The kiddos are such a blessing to us, they cleaned
out the garage so our son could scoot his 
car in there, and they also took the spare couch to
our daughter and son in law's home.  
I've tacked on a few pictures.  

The card I made I will submit to the challenge at:
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Garden Birdhouses

Stampin Up:  Ready to Pop 

I had to down scale my paper so that the 

stripes looked good, so I ended up with quite

the border.  I also had to work quite quickly

to not miss the cut off time.  Yikes.

This is a new little baby birdie, just flew down 

from his nest today.  

HP enjoying a soak at his Birthday party.  

All the kiddos taking a break on the couch they 

moved.  Yup are old truck still is running.  

Thank the LORD.  

A few more birdies at the feeder. That makes 

me so happy to hear them sing.  

Hope you are all doing well.

Challenge #218~ Happy Birthday Dad, Happy Flag Day, Pop up Twist card.

I made this card for the challenge at:

Always Fun Challenges

Challenge #218

Our theme for the new challenge is
"I Love my Dad"  

I'm sure this challenge is intended for Father's day

cards, but I decided to make a fantastic birthday 

card for my Dad.  

His birthday is on Flag day.  and it is so appropriate,

since we are a strong patriotic family.   So I decked the

card out with red, white and blue.  

I wanted to really make it pop so I did this card and I 

followed the directions from this youtuber. 

It was so fun, and Dad loved it.   We also gave him

 sundae cones.  A fun sweet treat that went with the card. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Hey Girlfriend 

Stampin Up:  Days To Remember

Stampin Up:  Sweet Ice Cream

Stampin up:  Number of Years

Stampin Up:  You are Amazing  

  

You will be able to see the video on my 

instagram page too.
