Pot Stickers...

I love this stamp!  I got it from a local artist where I live.  I took a couple of his Prismacolor Pencil Classes for coloring faces.  It was a lot different than I had expected, but enjoyed it and had a really great time.  Anyhow, I made these for a couple of the spouses who were new to our spouses group.  I like to make them a card to welcome them to our spouses group for their first meeting.

I stamped my image in versamark on black cardstock then used Denami Design Copper Embossing Powder.  Crumb Cake and Tangerine Tango cardstock.  The sentiment is from MFT PI Soldier Boy (retired).  SU square punch for the tag, button and linen cord.

I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend!

I used SU's Mosiac Madness stampset, coordinating punch and embossing folder.  Crumb Cake and Groovy Guava card stock and ink.  After making my initial card, I decided to change the border I was using.

40 SUCKS...

Well, not really...lol.  For my 40th I had nice celebration with my friends at my favorite restaurant.  I made these little gift givies as a little thank you to all my friends for coming out to celebrate with me.  Inside was my favorite...Sees Candies Lollipops, yum!

I used My Favorite Things Lollipop Treat Die-namic and My Favorite Things Banner Day Alphabet.  Crumb Cake Ink, Crumb Cake, Groovy Guava, and Very Vanilla card stock. Finished it off with a button and Linen Cord.  I also made a little sign for the basket that held the lollipops =) 

 My hubs bought me my favorite, orange roses =)

Me and my hubs...

Mmm, my favorite!  Thanks Sherri!

Another favorite, zebra's and orange=) 

Thank-you Kat for the beautiful quilt!

Loved my cake, from Sheena's Cakes =)

Leading up to my 40th birthday I had a Fitness Challenge where I was putting $$$ into a jar for my workouts.  It was my goal to be fit and fabulous by 40.  I reached my fitness goal, my weight goal and purchased my self something nice for my accomplishment...

Paul Mitchell Bamboo Hair Dryer

 Paul Mitchell Bamboo Flat Iron

(and I had enough to pay for a cut & color and lunch!)

It's a year and four months later and I still love my hair dryer and flat iron =) Unfortunately I'm back to square one with my fitness goals.  I injured myself 3 months before my birthday and have had two surgeries since.  I'm still recovering from surgery number two, but once I've fully recovered I plan to reestablish some fitness goals and get back to it!

I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday, I am so far!
Thank you for stopping by!

Clover Drover Crazy...

Just wanted to start off by thanking a friend of mine who's been giving my cards/posts their titles...sure has cut down on how long it takes me to make a blog post and has made me laugh at the same time!  I made this forever ago for a friend of mine that ordered a few cards from me.  Very quick, clean, and simple!

I started off with a Bermuda Bay card base, stamped the image from SU's Apple Blossoms in Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, and Basic Gray on Very Vanilla card stock.  Button, Ribbon, and Twine from Denami Design.  

Thank you for looking, have a terrific day!

 

Shroomin' Dude...

Still catching up on some of the cards that I made last year.  My main responsibility as a Key Spouse is to check up on the deployed spouses while their loved one is away.  One of the ways I like to do this is to send them a hand made card to let them know that I'm thinking of them.  

I stamped the Gnome from Lawn Fawn's Gnome Sweet Gnome Set in Memento Ink and colored him with Copics.  I used the sentiment from the Gnome Sweet Gnome Set as well. SU Corner Punch to make the tag.  My Mind's Eye Gnome Sweet Gnome paper on a SU Crumb Cake cardbase.

Inside each card I included a free coupon for a Culver's Mixer and this poem:

Hi, It’s me, your deployment gnome.

I heard your loved one is far from home.

Sometimes I come to break your dryer,

Or put a nail into your tire.

I also cause your hair to gray,

While that guy of yours is away.

But today I’m here to bring a gift,

And maybe give your heart a little lift.

If you should feel a little blue,

I hope you know friends are here for you.

And if you feel a little lost-y,

Go and get yourself a Frosty!

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU (and embarrassed to say this card is still sitting on my desk) to LAWN FAWN for the very generous donation of the stamp set Gnome Sweet Gnome!!!  I appreciate your kindness so very much!!!

Thank you for looking!
Have a wonderful week!
