The greatest fishermen!!!

Here's my guys and a friend. They fished for two days and this was their catch!!!

Aren't they awesome??? Guess what I'm canning this week?

Happy Fall Ya'll

It's definitely fall here in Central Oregon!!

And here's a cute little card to help you celebrate MY favorite time if the year!! I used the Fall Accents Bigz Die, and the cozy DSP Sweater Weather. For the backdrop to set off the leaves & acorn I used the Argyle Embossing folder. 

Have fun & "Happy Fall Y'all!!"

Pink & Grey Thanks

When I was a teenager my favorite colors were pink & grey...well here they are again... As beautiful as ever!!! So pretty in fact that several ladies in class commented that this would be a lovely wedding card! I was soooo excited to use the new photopolymer set "Another Thank You" so this card ended up a thank you rather than a wedding card. 

BOO!!!

Everyone needs a "mummy"!!! Here's a cute one to add to your life!! Basically this card is constructed by tearing strips of white card stock then sponging the edges with Chocolate Chip ink. Plan your tears leaving a peek a boo hole so you can accommodate the black piece. Adds one google eyes & there he is, looking back at you with a friendly "BOO!"

One thing we did find that makes it all easier is adhering the sponges strips to a separate piece of white CS. Doing this allows you to trim off any ends that wanna creep over the edge. After trimming, sponge any white spots & there you have it!!!

Magnifying Glass Bugs & Kisses

Lookee there !!! An ant crawling on a blade of grass coming to your end of summer picnic!!

Perfect card for the little "bug finder" in your life! AND another way to use the treat cups!! 

You're Tops!!!

My friend sister in law loves to hike. So she asked me to make a "mountain" card. Since I'm kinda in love with my new card dies I decided to incorporate them into this card as well. I also used the 2 1/2" circle punch, 1 3/4" scallop circle punch & the 1 1/4" circle punch. The saying was printed on my computer using Microsoft Publisher. It was a really fun card to  do! Have fun!!!

A last summer hurrah....

Well I think we all hate to admit it but summer...is...over!!!

Sorry hate to break the news but...

So here's a card/invitation to a summers end BBQ! For the actual BBQ grill I used the 2 1/2" circle punch, 2012 ornament punch, Word Window punch, 1/2" circle punch & standard hole punch.

Use any grass stamp & a coffee steam stamp or a flourish stamp for smoke.

 Have fun & happy Fall!!!
