The Big Fish Card

Hello,

My neighbor (Rose) asked me to make a few birthday cards and three of them were for her brothers.  Male cards are not my specialty.   However, one of the brothers enjoy fishing and he owned a Jeep. I just happened to have this stamp.  Hope he likes it.


Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Slippers Card

Good Morning,

This was another card that I made for my neighbor, Rose.  It was for her 12 years old niece. The shoes template was from a quilling book that I had. The crochet flowers were from my stash that I made early this year.


Hope you've enjoyed today post.

Good Morning,

These two cards are very quick and easy to make once I've learned how to bray.  The second card would make a great male card.


I  am also going to link this card to Make It Monday Linky Party.


Thanks for looking.  Have a lovely day!

Congrate Quilling Card

Good Morning Everyone!
I made this card for Janet.   I made some wedding announcements for her a few weeks ago. 

I learned how to make a similar roses last year but I never really like them.  I didn't know why.  Then the other day I was looking through my quilling strips and saw these roses and thought that I'll give them another try and I LOVE it!


You will need 9 pieces of 1/2" square of paper and one small 5 petal punch for the base. 




I cut a tiny bit off on each side. This step was not necessary.

Then cut a small slit in the center.

and glue them like shown and curl the two corners outward.

Use the 5 petal punch for base. Glue each rose petal like shown

For the roses center you can use pearls or the flowers stamen if you don't have the quilling strips.

You can also fine more tutorial at Quilling with whimsiquill


Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Inspired By Nature Sunset

Hello,
Last week I decided to take out my brayer and used it to create a few cards.  They were all very similar.

The "m" on the last card are suppose to be birds.  Do they look like birds?

The colors that I used were: Summer Sun (retired), Pumpkin Pie, and Really Rust (retired).  These were the only colors that I had. You can substitute any colors that you have for the sun set. All were classic ink. 


These cards were inspired from these wonderful blogs:

Dawn Stamping Studio
Tami White
Michelle Zindorf

Thanks for taking a peak!

Water, Water every where

Good Morning,
I have a few pictures, none card related, to share today.  The rain started last Sunday and continued on until Tuesday.  We got a little break on Wednesday.  By Wednesday late afternoon, it started to rain again and it rain until Friday morning.
Here are the aftermath:

Look at the street in front of this guy! and the street in front of the white door!  The streets were under water.  And what happen to the basement around there?  There is a house behind the guy.

Here is a picture of the basement.  The water in this basement was about 4 feet high.  Repeat: 4 feet high!

Stay dry where ever you are!
