June 30th Tuesday!

Last day of the month and I just wanted to share some of our 'summer' pics. Al planted this sunflower from seed. Last week, 7 or 8 days ago, it looked like this... almost reaching the top of the house! You should see it now!

 

So big and so  heavy!

                      This was shot right into the sun... pretty artsy.

This is the other side of the house with 2 more sunflowers. 

 

oops... Lucy Lou chasing the water. 

Hope you have a bright and happy day!

Thanks for looking

Sunday morning

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

This is a quick share of the MFT "Birthday Yay" stamp and die set.  Turned out pretty cute. Hope you enjoy. I used a 'slimline' die from Ali Express. It is 1 1/2" shorter than the Pinkfresh Studio dies. I was hoping to work them together. Notice the sentiments from 'The Ton' were used on two of these cards! Nice having the greetings  made ahead of the cards!

Saturday June 2020

Do you love BRIGHT colors?? If you do, this is the paper play for you. It is a Happy Birthday or Celebration paper in all those wonderful yellows, reds, & turquoise! Looks happy doesn't it?
                         

      Made 2 cards with the P-13 paper. Used the new Pinkfresh slimline cross stitch essential die.

 

The 2 above features the Pinkfresh braided circles. A slimline die. 

     

                                          Aren't these fun?

June 21st

Yes, it is Fathers day and Al is barbecuing ribs. Johnathon and Danielle will be over soon. Nice weekend! Like to just take a minute to share some cards. I know the rest of the week will be busy so this is the best time.

           Pretty bizarre! I have had these stamps for probably 6-8 years and never used them. I used the word stamps with other cards.  But, these Landscape silhouettes by Sweet & Sassy stamps have been just waiting to be wanted. You know, I wouldn't even attempt these without the Misti. Sweet & Sassy still sells them in case you are interested.     

                                                   The Hello die is from Bright Rosa

           I could have used some contrast on the elephant card. It really is stunning when you see it. I don't do tags too often, but this is a collage of sorts.

                     The background is a new stamp from Pink fresh studio!

                                                    Thanks for looking
                                                    &
                         Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers!

Tues June 9th

Big changes going on here. At least for the rest of June & July. Not sure how much time I will have to blog so, please, check back every so often! I always have time to take pictures and can always share them later! Planned on 'editing' today, but these cards are so pretty, I had to share. This is the Pinkfresh studio Layered Bouquet stamp set & die to match.

                                            

               Love Card with stamp and die set. And the pinkfresh studio ink cubes I used ...Obsessed, yes, but this time Dawn was just as crazy. She actually did most of the bouquets!

                    I took the pic from across the table and photoshop (in its great wisdom) wouldn't let me rotate it as it was already loaded here. So, yes, there are a bunch of them!!
                                 

 The  'so very' is one of the sentiment strips from The Ton.

                                 

                             This is my favorite!

                       I am sure there will be more. They are so versatile. 

                                           Thanks for looking today!!

Monday in June!

ANOTHER favorite, or maybe an 'obsession' again!! These are so cool! They are stamps and a die from THE TON. They are layered (different layer, more like a 'fill-in') words. There are 2 stamps and a die. Take a look, you will love them.

  This is an over view or the 'already stamped sheets  of words, the stamp sets and  the die. Notice! You can cut all the words at one time!! Be still my heart. I love easy

  I used black cs and white embossed both the #1 & #2 stamp. The one below I used the black on stamp #1 and purple on stamp #2.

          Above is the image of the die. Below is #1 stamp ready to go on the misty. Number 2 is already stamped. It is okay.

 

  Notice the registration marks. So easy to line up, both stamps and the die have those marks.

This is the purple I referred to. I used the little 1" ink cubes.

        The die is on the Gemini ready to cut. Again THE TON has patent pending on this idea. There is  a 'birthday' themed stamp too.

                        They are cut, just fell out of the die!

                                  

                              There are a couple extra sayings.

                                 Tell me this is not fun!!!

Okay some pics loaded between the others.
