Thank You Debbie...

Happy New Year!  I'm slowly trying to get caught up with my card posting.  I made this for my massage therapist.  Debbie knows that me and my co-ride leader, Linden have matching bikes and that we wear matching kits every time we ride together.  She was so kind to make us matching bike earrings.  She wanted to thank us for what we do for our cycling community.  Such a kind and thoughtful gift!!!  

The supplies I used were-

My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Thanks Stamp Set.

White, Gable Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce card stock.

My Favorite Things Rectangle and Mod Stax.  Itty Bitty Strips die-namics and bike die.

So sweet and thoughtful!

Modeling our earrings that just happened to match our kits the day Debbie stopped by!

Happy Birthday Frank...

For one of our Cyclefit Tuesday Riders, Frank for his birthday.  Frank is one of the kindest men you'll ever meet.  Whenever I'm out riding by myself and Frank sees me, he'll will turn around and ride with me to my front door...always making sure I make it home safely.  Frank has really gotten into gravel riding/racing this year.  I wanted to make a card that reflected that.

I created the sunset with Crisp Cantaloupe, Apricot Appeal, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Berry Burst, and Concord Crush inks.  Then I added the Impression Obsession Desert Scene with a Lawn Fawn Road Border and a Texture Paste on top, using Dusty Durango, Really Rust, Baked Brown Sugar, Close to Cocoa, and Soft Suede inks.  I added the bike using Sahara Sand cards stock and finished of the card with a Cherry Cobbler card base.

My card inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by.

 

Happy Birthday Steve...

 This is for one of our Cyclefit Tuesday Riders, Steve for his birthday.

The vision I had for this card didn't make it to paper, but I'm still happy with the results.  I used Scraps of Love Nesting Arizona Dies.  Hero Arts Desert Road Stencil.  YoYo Yellow, Daffodil Delight, Only Orange, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, Berry Burst, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, and White inks.  Black and White Card Stock.  My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Stamp set.  My favorite Things Fast Track, Itty Bitty die-damics, and a Bike die.  

Thank you for stopping by!    

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!

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.  

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!

Supplies I used were-
My Favorite Things Donuts & Sprinkles
Black Ink
White, Creamy Caramel, and Regal Rose card stock.
My Favorite Things A2 Stitch Rectangle Stax, Stitched Jumbo Fishtail, and Donut die-namics. 

Stampin' up Wavy Trim Ribbon and Sequins.

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!!! 

I had so much fun making this card!!!  I used Stampin' Up Snowfront stamp set.  Real Red, Night of Navy, and Balmy Blue inks.  White and Night of Navy card stock.  My Favorite Things Impact Numbers and Captions Alphaber die-namics and a corner punch.

Happy Birthday Wylie!!!
