Birthday

I used my friend's cuicut......quick card for my DH! 

 I went shopping this morning!  I don't usually do the on line thing but I had a GC that I was hanging on to for a while!  Found the coupon code on FaceBook for IO......."Thanks" so even more savings!

But, I spent way too much on this "therapy"!

Love this "stuff"!  So Birthday and Christmas done!

Happy Thanksgiving USA!

Thank you for stopping have a great weekend!  

Stampscape "with sympathy"

Still lots of flaws but I will never get it perfect! Sad attempt at the picture quality too, dark outside at this hour!  And using the "phone" app for easy of posting!  But you get the jest of it!   The previous image was really good but there were 2 little indents in the paper after I got it finished! 

Was considering adding color, but decided I spent way too much time on this card! I would likely mess it up even more!

 I had a perfect idea originally!  The man that died was a sheep farmer!  He always supported our community auctions and sales with farm products!  So I wanted a sheep in my card!  But of course I don't have a sheep stamp!  So that is why I went in search of an image to print, found one that need me to remove the dog and the man smoking a pipe; it was perfect! add some stamped images to it!   Done!  I could see the idea right away!  But that idea went out the window when the printer was dry of ink!  And I quickly tried to draw it myself;  I get so mad at myself!  I always could draw what ever I wanted but now;  it is all miss combobulated!  (That's a word isn't it!) !  Wished we lived closer to a store when you get inspired and don't have the things you need!  So out came the "slice"!  

• Slice:  farm
• Art-Kure: Ploughman
• IndigoBlu: Clumber Park
• Clearly wordsworth:  Comfort collection
• Stampscape: tree, grass, fence

Thanks for stopping!  Hope everyone is enjoying our fall staying safe with hunting season in full swing!  Have a great day!

Flower die cut

Beautiful outside this time of year.  I love being outside but not feeling par the last few days!  The cold has got me again! (had it 3 weeks ago too!) ! So making flowers and drinking tea!  Hopefully will be better tomorrow so I can help "roof"!

Posting using the phone app again!  

It been "wetting" here this morning so I'm here cleaning up my craft area.  I am happy it's raining since the blueberries will appreciate the moisture greatly. 

So I thought I'd share my jelly printing plate useful tip.

when you have some stamps that won't stick any longer or you don't have water handy to rejuvenate the adhesive,. I  use a old picture frame and my small gelli print plate and use it as my stamping block. 

Thanks for stopping and enjoy your Tuesday
