Card #60 for 2025

Dear Blog readers,

I turned this little card into a quick Father's day card.  

I had this ole handy man card I made a bazillion years 

ago and I just didn't like how it looked so I ripped it apart to 

use only the nice pieces, and added it to the inside of this card.

My dad is quite the handy man indeed.  He can fix anything. 

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used are: 

Stampin Up
Impressions abloom 

color & contour 

sweet jar 

Placing that bow was the most difficult part. Wink

here is a picture of the top part of the card on the inside.

with the added "handy man" piece. 

Patriot pup has been quite a little handful as usual.

my friend described him perfectly.  He's a toddler.  

Into everything.  sigh.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Phil.  4:6 NKJV

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, 

with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Card #59 for 2025

Dear blog readers, 

I made this fun flag day/Birthday card for my dad. 

I think a flag day birthday is so neat much like 

a fourth of July Birthday.  In fact our little pup 

is a fourth of July puppy, and believe me he is a little

fire cracker.   We should of named him Sparky, instead 

of Patriot.  haha  

I usually try to remember to incorporate something 

patriotic for my dad's birthday card.  So there it is.

Repeat impression:  God bless America flag

I tried to weed my garden again, it's been slow going

with my back being out.  But summer is swiftly moving along

and I need to get this garden going.  

Here's the little 11 month old playing under the chairs,

waiting to chase his shadow again. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

Proverbs 9:11 NKJV

For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.

I naturally had a few smudges, since I broke my glasses,

and couldn't see very well without them, the trees on 

the inside even look a tad crooked, but I'm saying that's nature,

and leaving it as is.  

Does anyone else have a hard time cutting on angles?

Might be just me.  But I don't stop trying.

Made little yellow flowers to match the the home of 

the person I intend to send this card too.  

I assembled our taco seasoning today, made a huge

mess in the kitchen. but it's worth it.  

I noticed I am getting strawberries in my garden

what a delightful surprise.  Glory to GOD.  

I'm a bit late with all my other seeds this year,

since puppy and his surgery we've had our hands full. 

Speaking of Patriot, he is officially 11 months

old today.  

On his favorite chair. 

Make a wish little fella.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Isaiah 52:7 NKJV

How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
