Card #56 for 2025

Dearest blog readers, I made this card 
for my darling.  Yesterday we celebrated our 
33rd wedding anniversary.  
I will enter the card in the challenge at:
The stamp sets I used are:
Stampin Up
Dance with me
Forever blossoms
Best birds 
I stamped the images down and colored them.  I also 
stamped the images on DSP and then cut out the dress
and shirt to give a little something extra to the outfits.  
I made sure to color the couple's hair gray to match
my hubby and myself.  haha  I'm sure my darling 
appreciated that.  
WE have little love birds that made their nest 
in our wreath on the front door.  So now we have
little babies out there and a whole mess on the door 
and the wreath.. but I don't want to move them,
I have to knock each day so I can open my door to get 
my mail. Wait for her to leave and then quickly open and 
snap a picture of the littles.  they are growing fast. 
The little pup is still struggling with that amputated 
dew claw.  A few more days on medicine, we are leaving
it unbandaged today to see how it goes.  His obsession with
licking it, is quite a challenge.  
I found this lovely picture for our anniversary.  
The verse I chose for this card is:
Gen 2:24NKJV
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[a] joined to his wife, 
and they shall become one flesh.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

Card #55 for 2025

Dearest blog readers, Happy May Day🎕
I'm always sad that May Day seems like a lost
tradition, so I like to remember and share it.  
I will enter this spring card in the challenge at:
The stamp sets I used are
Stampin Up: 
Thoughtful blooms
Storybook life
The thoughtful bloom stamp set came with a punch
so that was easy enough for the blooms.  I used some 
old nail art flowers for added embellishments.  They are raised up quite a bit.
 I used dimensionals for the whole back of this card 
so the flowers could nest inside a bit more.  I probably
still won't be able to mail this one without extreme extra postage
and care to the envelope. 
I thought I'd share a few pictures of May
Day in the yard.  

and of course the little Pup.  Patriot is 
still in recovery mode.  Trying to keep
him off the incisions, has turned into a full time 
job, as he is quite determined to get at them.  
He's still on medicine, and today he threw up
a considerable amount, so I think his little tummy
is over all the pills.  I am too for him.  
Hope you all have a blessed evening. 
The verse I chose for this card is:
Song of Solomon 2:12 NKJV
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
