Happy Birthday Brooke!!!

Celebrating another November birthday for another one of our cycling friends, Brooke!

This is another "toy" that I got that I hadn't used yet and was wanting to try...the Gina K Wreath Builder Template.  I had so much fun creating this card!  Most cyclist love coffee, they go hand in hand.  It's a never ending cycle...ride, coffee, repeat.  So, I had this idea of making a card with a bike and coffee, the never ending circle of love and life.  I used many stamp sets to create this card to find the perfect little stamps to fit within the wreath.  My Favorite Things Coffee Break, Hero Arts, Woodware Craft Collection, and Verve.

Happy Birthday Tod and Brooke!!!

Thank you for having a look at my blog!

 

Back in the Saddle Soon...

Our amazing sponsor, Don with Farmers Insurance had a mishap on his bike a couple weeks ago.  I made him a card to lift his spirits.

I used My Favorite Things Radiating Rays stencil, sponging Daffodil Delight and Only Orange.  Then I stamped the bike from Hero Arts stamp set.  Sentiment from Gina K. Design.

 Me, Carolyn, and Don.

Howdy Sid...

I saw this beautiful card on Pinterest and knew I had to recreate it for my besties step dad for his birthday.  Sid is so down to earth and easy going, I just love the time I get to spend with him when he's down for a visit.  I'm so blessed to have such amazing best friends who's family has welcomed me with open arms.  Love you Sid, Happy Birthday!

Theresa did a fabulous job with step by step directions on how to create this card.  I didn't have all the ink colors she had so I did what I could with what I had.  I used More Mustard, Peach Parfait and Close to Cocoa for the background.  SU Fabulous Flamino set for the grass.  I masked and sponged black for the ground.  The most challenging part for me was trying to create the fence.  All the color options I was using just didn't look right.  I ended up using More Mustard and Close to Cocoa.  The front post has pop dots on it for dimension.  Copics for the hat and boots.  Linen thread for the rope.  Baked Brown Sugar, Early Espresso, and Pumpkin Pie card stock.

Dann's the Man...

I made this thank you card for my teammate Dann.  He let me borrow one of his team jersey's (we have a black and white version) so I could match the rest of the gals I was riding with during the Triple Crown Challenge over Easter weekend.  

I wanted to keep the card clean and simple.  I had bought this Gina K. Designs set Lil Tees a long time ago from a friend and finally used it for the fist time.  Although it's not a cycling jersey, I thought it was perfect for my card.  I stamped the shirt in memento and the sentiment in Brilliant Blue and Green Galore.  Neenah base card run through the cuttlebug.  Black cardstock and Green Galore Chevron Stripes from My Favorite things...I tried to made it look like a road using our team colors.

Me and Dann...only two that showed up for a team ride.
He's wondering where everyone is, ha!
