Happy 4th Birthday Tanner!!!

Happy 4th birthday to our youngest grandson, Tanner!  This year we were able to be in Idaho to celebrate his birthday with him.  He's been in speech therapy and is talking so much now.  Tanner's a ball of energy and has quite the personality.  We sure enjoyed our visit with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandboys.

Tanner had a "theme" of presents this year from us...fishing and camping related.  I had some Riley stamps I was trying to decide upon when I came across this card on Splitcoaststampers.  I knew I had to try to recreate the card.  Niki gives step by step instructions on how to create the card on her blog.  I tried my best, but her creation is simply beautiful.  I used Pacific Point, Poppy Parade and Soft Suede cardstock, red ribbon, hodgepodge hardware, and followed Niki's tutorial for my image panel.  

Happy 4th birthday Tanner!

Thank you for looking!

Camping out...

Ahhh...I have to say it is SO refreshing to be home and in my Craft Cave where all my goodies are at my finger tips!  It brings a HUGE smile to my face when I open the door to my Cave and see my orange walls=)  It truly is my happy space!  I made this for my hubs friend Marc who let us "camp out" at his house for several weeks while he's been deployed.  I wanted to send him a little card to let him know we're thinking of him.  Marc likes Moose so this Riley image is just perfect.  I hope some happy mail will brightens his day!

I stamped Tent Riley from Riley and Company on Crumb Cake Cardstock with Momento Ink.  I colored him in with my Copics.  I used Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, and Garden Green for my layers.  I picked up the dsp from Joann's a couple days ago.  The ribbon is a random scrap I got while in Idaho, I wish I could've bought a spool of it!  The buttons are from Denami Design.

We are going to Fuddruckers for dinner tonight.  They are kindly donating a portion of their sales today to my hubs squadron.  Thank-you Fuddruckers!  Thank-you for stopping by, hope ya'll have a great rest of your day!
