It is early here in Nevada, but the sun is already shining! It will probably be in the low 100's or high 90's, but now it is just lovely. I will enjoy it while I can!

 

The large sunburst die is from My Favorite things stamps company. The SHINE is part of a stamp from Paper Trey Ink and the Clouds below, are dies from Memory Box.

  

                                                                      

This sun ray (burst) is a stamp from Neat & Tangled.



The die looks good either way!

 

 Everything sort of went wherever it wanted to land this morning, but its all sunrays, sunbursts and happy! Hope that made sense. As for the post, I am not going to stress about the order !
Thanks for looking,

So guess what? I got ahead of myself and forgot the Sunburst. They really are nice, but we will go with this end of Summer Bird & flower theme today! Hope you like them. The bird & flower stam is from Stampendous. The word is from Unity.

The stamp below is from Indigo Blue. I absolutely love it!

Thanks for looking!

September 2016

The sun is shining here. Although, in the South west the sun sets earlier than the northern states. So that is the theme for todays post!
Almost forgot to mention that the stamps are from Unity & the Sun die is from Paper Trey Ink.

Stay tuned for the Sunburst series!

Thanks for looking,

Hello September!

I'm starting the month with a series of 'animal' cards. Ok yes, they are 'cute' dogs, elephants & duckies from Art Impressions Rubber Stamps. They are perfect for that birthday, get well, dream on, cheer up, and just about any event. The stamps fit an A-2 card, and so does the the slider die that is absolutely a 'must have' with the stamps. Although the die can be used with any image either horizontally or vertically! Lets post these pictures!

August just began!

It doesn't seem possible that this is the 25th of August already! Still in the triple digits here. Low triples? Dawn is coming to visit today, so want to share a couple more cards. 

Couldn't help myself. Isn't she cute???

 

I have to say I was inspired to use the My favorite things background stamps by Keisha Campbell at   http://www.abiteast.typepad.com/

 

The die is from Queen. I cut part of it away. Makes a great shaker!

 

 

 

Thanks for looking today!

August 15th

I didn't blog last week as Al was on vacation. Not true! Al has been my support for at least 20 years when we opened the first store. No, I didn't blog because I was too lazy! I really did have a good birthday week. Yes, Al made it 'my' week.  I got to talk to two of my grandchildren, Stacy & John. too.  How nice is that?? Our son Doug, suprised us the week before and came to visit for the weekend. I just want to say that it was his wife Christinas idea that they drive over 1000 miles one way, so he could visit family and a concert. Thanks  Christina! In keeping with the "Thanks" I did several easy cards using a Memory Box die.

                                                         Thanks for Looking!

Vacation week

Yeah! Al is on vacation this week. We are at home, as Zoeie is still number one priority. So even with all the extra 'to do's' that we do when he is home, I made cards! These were photographed last week. I never seem to quite catch up.  

 

 



 

The stamps/images, are all from Darkroom Door stamps. Love the truck for a more masculine look. Check out this next one! Completely different from my freind Linda Freitas!
