Twirly-Whirly Pinwheel Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

How are you? Hope you had a great day yesterday! Dan & I sure did! It was our 41st wedding anniversary yesterday & when Dan got out of work we went to Newport to one of our favorite places to eat, The Atlantic Beach Club (ABC for short) right by the water (Atlantic ocean) & had our fisherman platter....yummmmmm, so darn good!!! Their filet mignon is fabulous too, but we opted for the seafood this time. Did a little shopping on Thames Street in downtown Newport & then headed to Hi-Li to play a few slots before heading home. Great date night with my hubby!

Okay enough of that, now onto my cards. Today's card is an interactive one....OMGosh, I love it!!! It's too darn cute!!! I bought the pinwheel sizzlet & pinwheel stamp set from Stampin' Up just so I could make this card & let me tell you, it was the BEST decision I ever made. It looks so much better in person, it twirls from side to side....so much fun!!! I made a few in different colors. I had Ree over that day, (hi Ree!)  she wanted to make a wedding card with some of the digital stamps I had & when she saw it...she loved it too, so I gave her one. Thanks Ree for hanging out with me that day.

Well that's it for today, I hope you have a fabulous day! Stay cool because it's going to be hot, hot, hot the next few days. Finally, so I'm not complaining. Oh yeah, we get to babysit Braelynn ALL day Saturday & we can't wait!!!

Seahorse Birthday card

Good mornin' Peeps!

First of all I would like to give all those affected by the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma my love & prayers, you are in my thoughts at this most difficult time...my heart goes out to you all.

Today's card has a nautical theme with a cute Seahorse on it. I LOVE Seahorse's, don't you? They are so stinkin' cute! I just LOVE how this card turned out!!! I saw this card on Lisa Young's blog & fell in love with it! The stamp set is by SU "By the Tide" & used the water blotches from SU "French Foliage" to look like bubbles. Embossed the background layer with the SU cloud embossing folder. I think I'll make a Father's day card like this one too! Well let me go back upstairs & make that one right now. I'm also working on something that Dan wanted me to make for him but I can't show it till July.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & visiting me today, I sure do appreciate it!

Good mornin' Peeps!

Well it is finally going to be a Hot day today...around 80 degrees & we are all soooo happy about it!!! I think Spring is finally here & Summer is right around the corner! Pool time....can't wait!!!

I finally got the "My Paper Pumpkin" welcome kit last month & as soon as it arrived I went to work! I love it!!! I can't wait to get my hands on the May kit & see what's in it, mine should be here Monday, I'm so excited! I made the first card like the picture on the kit & then changed the other 3 cards up just a little bit. Hope you like it.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by my blog today!


My Paper Pumpkin Welcome kit - made 3 of the 4 cards in the kit just a little different than the picture in the kit

Just added some twine & tied a bow to the button

Added bakers twine to the button, tied a bow & placed the button at the top right of the sticker this time

Changed it up a bit by making it a landscape card, adding twine, tieing a bow & positioning the stickers up higher & placing the button on top right

Happy stampin' everyone!

Baby Gift & Card Idea

Good morning Peeps!

I’m back with another project & card that I created for a friend. She's expecting a baby at the end of the month (it's a boy) & I wanted to make her something that I thought she would love & also give her a baby outfit to go along with this gift. She loved it!!! Score one for me, hahaha!!!

This cute idea was easy & so much fun to create. I love making things for people who appreciate hand made gifts...don't you?

Thanks for dropping by & have a great day...it's going to be a gorgeous one here, around 80 degrees today! Time to open some windows!


Altered this box that I saved from one of my favorite hotels in Vegas, it came with a sewing kit, shower cap, etc., they left one in the room everyday & everyday I would stash it in my suitcase, so I ended up with 3 boxes that I use for this cute baby gift idea. Wouldn't you know it...they no longer put these out. I guess they have to change it up so guests don't get bored, hahaha!!!

Box with closet hangers to organize all those different size clothes & when your done store them away in this cute little box!

Onesie card to go along with her gift

Quick & sweet post today. Have a great day everyone!
