Nightly Walk

Hello and welcome!

Feeling cooped up with Covid-19, my family started going out for evening walks together. It began sporadically, but now we do it almost every day. We really enjoy this time together and often go through the woods to the cistern about a mile away. I see this as one of the blessings of pandemic.

To create this layout I used Pinkfresh's Just A Little Lovely pattern paper, Let's Stay Home ephemera, and Leafy cut file.

Mercedes Night

Hello and welcome!

My girlfriends, Carol, Roxie, Treasure and I meet once a month for friendship and to help each other be the best we can be. We call ourselves Sparks Of Courage. Usually we meet at Baker's Square, but my Mercedes dealer had a pop-up event and I invited my group. There were free cocktails, fancy cars and even virtual car racing! We always have so much fun together!

This page is based on a sketch from Scrap Our Stash.

Swan Card

Hello and welcome!

I think of my friend, Treasure, often and thought this would be a great card to send her.

 

The swan is from SugarPea Design's Every Day Christmas stamp set. The sentiment is from SugarPea's Take Note stamp set. I used Distress Oxides and a blending brush to create the background.

Homecoming Parade Page

Hello and welcome!

Last year we traveled to Waukesha, Wisconsin to watch our son perform with his college marching band for homecoming. Before the big game, the band marched through the town in a parade.

This is the last of my Little Yellow Bicycle pattern paper stash. It is sad to see it go, but it made a great page!

Happy Birthday Two-fer

Hello and welcome!

I was playing around with a few of my favorite dies and some pattern paper scraps this weekend and here is what I came up with:

By mixing the pattern papers I was able to create two cards! I love that. The flower is Memory Box's Tilth Floral die. The "Happy" is Memory Box's Share The Happiness die. Also used was Poppy Stamp's Stitched Fluttering Butterflies die.

Floral Window Box Card

Hello and welcome!

I am missing my friends a lot. It helps to make and send cards to them. My friend, Sue, loves to garden and I thought she would enjoy this card:

The cute window is Poppy Stamps' Mini Madison Window die. The flowers are from Poppy's Poinsettia Joy stamp set, which I fussy cut. And the sentiment is Poppy's Hip Hello die which was cut three times and glued together, with Glossy Accents added.

Dad's Day Card

Hello and welcome!

Jeff wanted a special card for his dad. As Dave loves to tinker in his workshop, I thought he might enjoy this card:

To create the peg board I used Altenew's Pegboard Canvas Cover die cut on brown cardstock and added silver dimensional paint for the pegs. The cute tools are stamps from Altenew's Engineers Rule set. They were stamped on silver metallic paper, then heat embossed with clear powder and fussy cut. The "DAD" letters are Altenew's Inline Alpha dies and the sentiment is from Altenew's Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set.
