masculine thanks...

It's Friday!!! *woot woot*
Even though I have to work today~I am still happy it is Friday!!!

Yesterday I had my annual eye appointment. I had to get my pupils dilated (I hate getting that done!!!), I could not see for 3hours after the drops went in my eyeballs. I had to make a few cards (including today's), so I hope it looks okay, LOL! Luckily my prescription stayed the same, so no changes, but he did say I am a year or two away from getting bi-focals~WHAT!!!! I guess 40 is the magic age for your eyes to start going to pot. Oh well, what are ya gonna do??

I needed some masculine thank you cards, so I went with a very minimal, clean and simple look. I was happy with the end result, since boy cards are just not my thing!! It is also a good way to use up some of my hoarded patterned paper, LOL!



Thanks for stopping by!! Enjoy your weekend!

Supplies used (PTI unless noted): Blooming Button Bits stamp set; Kraft/White cardstock; Choc Chip (SU!) ink; Fall Flowers Designer Paper (retired SU!); New Leaf Button; Twine

cheer up...

hi-ya blog friends!!
how are you doing today?? Boy the week sure flys when you have Monday off, LOL!!!

I needed a card for someone that needed some cheering up, and Scattered Showers seemed to fit the bill, how could it not with Dawn's cute sayings!! I paper pieced the umbrella top to give it some dimension, and of course I had to add some ribbon and a button.

I was going to place a PTI order the other day and several things were on back order *sad face* I hope they are back in stock soon, because I really want that Enjoy the Ride set (with matching die plate)...how cute is that set???

fishy birthday...

Happy Monday~I am really enjoying today~because I have it off *woot woot* I won't be so excited on Friday though, since I will have to work, LOL!! Vacation time has arrived in our office, and everyone will be filling in for each other as we enjoy some R&R.

My step dad (really dad!!), Moe is going to be celebrating his birthday on 4/30, and since I know he doesn't read my blog~I figured I could post his birthday card. He is retired and enjoys fishing, so I try to incorporate a "fish" theme every year...unfortunately this is the only fish stamp I own (def need to find some more!!). It is from the SU! (retired) set, Very Punny.

I cased this card from coriefoster on SCS, you can see hers here. It was such a cute card, that I really didn't change much.


Thanks for visiting!!! Enjoy your day!

my cruise photos...

I have been busy editing my cruise photos, so I didn't get much stamping time in over the weekend. I have Monday off, so I am hoping to make a few Birthday cards/gifts. I should have a post up late Monday morning...

But in the meantime, here are the pic's from my cruise~you can view them here.

A.P.D.

TGIF my blog friends!!!
I have a quick post for you today... Administrative Professionals Day (A.P.D.) was this past Wednesday, so of course I wanted to whip up something special for the Church Administrator, Heather, who volunteers her time to help my hubby in so many ways!! And always tells him to "go home", which I appreciate (because Mike looses track of time when he is at the church) *smile*.
Since I know she likes pink, I really went with a pink theme.




And check out Pete (a.k.a. CRAZY Pete), he is too curious for his own good, LOL!!! I found the cute little gift box at Target and filled it with some gift cards, chocolate and other goodies (Pete approved of this A.P.D. gift, LOL!!!)...and a big Thanks to Heather!!!



Thanks for stopping by!!! HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!!

peachy...

There is no place like HOME!!!
Mike and I arrived back home safe and sound on Monday. We had a great time just relaxing an enjoying each others company!! I still have my sea legs, which is really weird, feels like I am still on the boat. I Googled it to see if there were such a thing and YUP!! there is, so I wasn't imagining it.

We only had one stop in Mexico (which was kind of a bummer!!!), but still fun!!! We are not sure if cruising is for us~maybe it was because we ended up with 3 days at sea and were a little bored~the last day we could not wait to get off the ship!!! The food was yummy, and I had frozen yogurt after ever meal *YUM* I was afraid to get on the scale once I got home~but it really wasn't too bad *smile*

Okay, onto the stamping!!!
Here is another easy peasy card...I used my Nestabilitie die to cut out a scalloped rectangle on the card base, then just added some Dark Chocolate cardstock to the back and added a smaller stamped rectangle to the front with a pop dot...easy peasy, right?!



Thanks for stopping by!!! ENJOY TODAY!
