Tuesday July 7th

Love the new 'Slimline' dies. I have a lot of information to share about sizes, shapes and 'openings'. I wold really like to share some of the 'slimline' from years ago. They were  pretty then, but they weren't 'framed with the lovely stitching. Lets get started!

                        First off, yes these were photoed in a hurry on my island.

                                                 The heart dies are Mariannes dies

       Above is a beautiful die from Anna Griffith. The Birthday cupcake is a stamp from Outlines Rubber Stamps.

    Next one is one you saw a couple weeks ago using  p13 paper. 

            I am ending this post and moving on to another with 'newer' dies and ideas! 
                                 Thanks for looking!

Second post in one day! You have got to see this! We think Lucy Lou is adorable when she isn't being psycho!!  She loves to get wet, actually, she loves to jump at the garden hose. She is getting ready!

Happy 4th of July

This is our fourth of July. The one appointment that we had is celebrating the 4th Today,  so we were able to just lay around all morning. Having  our favorite rib eye and baked  potatoes in a few minutes! 
Cards for today feature 'Stripes' made with a Pinkfresh die and scrap paper! The possibilities are endless!

              I used Sizzix dot frame die and a Pinkfresh essential  rectangle die. Layered each one 3 times. Easy, I have a Gemini!

 

                      The large 'hello' is from Concord & 9th. The 'Sending Big hugs' is from Taylored Expression.

Hope you enjoy & Thanks for looking!

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!

                                                    &
                         Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers!
