Happy Birthday Carolyn!!!

For my dear friend Carolyn for birthday.  I met her when I first started cycling.  She's been a great mentor and is always willing to help you better your cycling skills.  On her birthday she met be out on the dirt trail for my first time to learn some gravel riding skills.  It was so much fun!

I feel like this Hero Arts Desert Road Stencil was made just for me, lol!  I just love using it for my cycling cards.  The inks I used are- Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio.  I stamped the bike from Woodware Craft Collections in black.  I mounted my layer on Pumpkin Pie then on a white card base. 

Me and Carolyn.

Thank you for having a look at my blog.

Happy Birthday Leanda...

For a sweet lady for her birthday!  Leanda has been doing lots of great things for our cycling community over the last 6 months or so.  She's been leading interval workouts, zone 2 rides (well, not my zone 2...lol!), workshops, and just recently started up a Women's Only Shoot Out.  She's all inclusive, makes everyone feel welcome to join in and encourages you to keep coming, even if your zone 2 isn't her zone too, ha!  

I kept this one CAS.  It was for the current (at the time) MFTWSC686.  My card base is Crumb Cake.  I used the following- MFT Open Road, Cute Cloud Outlines, and Itty Bitty Strips die-namics.  A bike die, topping it with a gel pen.  I added glitter to the clouds.

Thanks for having a peek!

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

For my son in law for his birthday.  Every year I ask him what he wants for his birthday and every year he tells me all he wants is one of my awesome hand made cards...so sweet!

This was for my entry to the MFTWSC685 (yes, I'm a wee bit behind at uploading to my blog) challenge.  I started out  blending Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Broken China inks on an oval die cut, mounting it on a Crumb Cake MFT Stitched Jumbo Fishtail die-namic.  I colored a MFT Grounded Elements die-namics and added it to my oval piece.  I used My Favorite Things Bear Hug Bunch and the coordinating dies, colored with copics. Then mounted the panel to a white layer ran through the die cut machine using MFT A2 Stitched Rectangular Stax.  I stamped  MFT Festive Old Friends (sentiment) on a MFT Essential Stitched Sentiment die-namics.  Then layered it onto a Wile Wasabi Card Base.  

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Happy 15th Birthday Wylie!!!

Happy Birthday to the one that made me a Grandma and gave me the name, "Mommom".  I can't believe Wylie's 15...where has the time gone?!?!  

I used the MFTWSC683 for my layout.  My Favorite Things Game Controller die-namics with Smoky Slate, Black, Granny Apple Green, YoYo-Yellow, Real Red.  Blueberry Bushel for my card base and ran a strip of it through and embossing folder.  Stamped my sentiment from MFT Level Up stamp set.

Wylie loved his card.

Happy Valentine's Day to Mrs. Todaro's Class...

A friend of mine messaged me and asked if I could send a Valentine's Day Card to her friend's class.  They are doing a geography class project to see if they could receive a Valentine from every state and also see if they would get any Valetine's Day cards from other parts of the world.  Here's the card that I made and sent them.

I played along in the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC681.  I used Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, and My Mind's Eye paper.  MFT Love to My Gnomies stamp set, colored with copics.  Giant Love, Hearts a Plenty, and Layered Heart Border die-namics.  Finished off the card with white splatters.

Colored States are Valentine's received from Mrs. Todaro's Class so far.

 Thanks for having a look!

Get Well My Friends...

For two of my friends that needed some cheering up.  Wishing both of them a speedy recovery and hope that they are back on their bikes soon!!!

This was my take on the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC680.  I used My Favorite Things Transform-ables Heart Full of Love die-namics in Real Red.  MFT Bandaids die-namics in Creamy Caramel, White, and Real Red.  MFT Essential Stitched Sentiment die-namics in White and Black.  Sentiment is from the MFT Pure Innocence Best Medicine stamp set.

Happy Birthday Delia...

For my dear sweet friend and cycling buddy, Delia for her birthday.  One of the best parts of cycling is having coffee afterwards with great friends.  Just love our post ride coffee chats!

 My entry for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC679.  I started out with a Very Vanilla card base.  I used My Favorite Things Mini Mugs die-namics with Mind's Eye Stella and Rose paper.  I also used the Stella and Rose for one of the layers.  I used White, Pretty Peacock, and Melon Mamba to finish off the Coffee Cup and mounted it on a Black circle.  I stamped my sentiment from My Favorite Things Coffee Order, then die cut it with the My Favorite Things Fishtail Foundations die-namics.
