Happy Birthday David!!!

For a friend and one of our Tuesday Riders, David for his birthday.  David was showing me the artwork in his home and said a lot of my cycling/southwest cards would fit into the theme/colors of his home.  I ended up taking a picture of one of his pieces and tried my best to put it into card form with the dies I had and changed the car to a bike of course!
Happy Birthday David!!!
I used Crushed Curry and More Mustard for the sky.  Die cut Impression Obsession Desert Scene in Copper Clay, then inked some details on it with Copper Clay ink.  I die cut My Favorite Things Fast Track in Copper Clay in the middle of the mountain range.  I die cut the Saguaro border in black, only using a couple of the bigger ones to mimic the art piece.  I tore a piece of black card stock to add to the corner.  Then I die cut the My Favorite Things Flat Bottom Clouds and Bike from Balmy Blue and sponged them with Azure Afternoon.  I added my panel to a black card stock base, then added a black frame from My Favorite Things.  

Happy Birthday David!!!
The birthday boy and Larry.

I Donut Know How To Thank You...

A thank you for Kathleen for the super cute donut earrings she got me (and Linden) for the Cyclefit Friday Donut Ride.  Linden and I always match what we wear every time we ride and rather than have different colored donut earrings, Linden suggested we have one of each so we'll still match.  So kind of Kathleen to think of us!

My Favorite Things A2 Stitch Rectangle Stax, Stitched Jumbo Fishtail, and Donut die-namics.

Happy 16th Birthday Wylie!!!

I can't believe our oldest grandson is 16!!!  Where has the time gone?!?!  In the blink of an eye he went from a toddler who use to hang with me in my craft cave to an amazing young man who loves to run, enjoys weight lifting, and cooking, especially when it comes to trying the latest Tick Tock recipes.  We love and miss him so much!!! 
Happy 16th Birthday Wylie!!!

Happy Birthday Terri...

I am FINALLY caught up with my blogging for 2024, yay!!!  Now I'm only 7 months behind for 2025, ha!  This is for my dear friend Terri for her birthday.  This is the second card I made for her for her birthday, lucky her!
Happy Birthday Terri...
I kept this one CAS as her other one was a more detailed card I made for one of the challenges while I was a guest designer for the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen.  Hot Pink is Terri's favorite color as is the accents to her black gravel bike.  I used the cactus portion from the Hero Arts August 2022 Stencil Card Kit with Melon Mambo and Black ink.  Black, White, and Denami Design Hot Pink card stock.  Woodware Craft Collection On Your Bike and Itty Bitty Birthday stamp sets.

Thanks for having a look at my blog!
