Giraffe Baby Card

Hello, Long time no see!

Well, this past weekend I found the instructions for this cute punch card here.

Normally, I do not do cards that I call "24 hour cards" because of all the 

tedious little multiple tasks and tiny pieces to achieve the end results.

However, not only is this giraffe absolutely adorable,

(Thank you, Kellie, for the excellent instructions),

I have a particularly important reason for making this card.

Our son and daughter-in-law will be having our first grandchild
about December 11,

it will be a surprise as to whether the baby is
a boy or a girl (so no pink or blue).

Our son asked us if we wanted to make any bets as to
whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

My answer was "Boy!", my husbands answer was "Yes!"

Smarty Pants! It will be a boy or a girl, certainly!!!

Well, I have a financial gift to send them from our family
to help them purchase a crib.

Since they live in Arkansas and we are in Minnesota,
we won't be having a baby shower as "normal",

so this is our baby gift to them.
I thought this card a perfect one to send our gift in!

Hope your week is starting out beautifully, mine certainly is!

Washi Tape Fun

Good Morning!

Well, the good news is that I just finished mowing our yard,

which is a challenge for me.

Our good mower is on the blink and I had to use the old push mower.

It does have a motor, but it's so hard to push.

Let's just say I got my exercise - could I say "for the week?"

I suppose not, but good for a try anyway!!!

I had some fun last night!

Washi Tape is so easy and fun.

My husband likes this one!

Enjoy your day!

More on the way - I was on a roll last night - playing, of course!

Alcohol Ink Peacock

My dear friend created this art piece.

Imagine!  She likes alcohol inks, too.

We have a wonderful time together! 

Have an awesome day!

Vintage New Year's Crackle

Well, I am totally out of my "norm",

but I was soooooo curious if I could figure out the 

crackle look and my Mom had printed out some of these adorable 

vintage pictures that I thought I'd put to use.

I hope you can see the linen texture in the cream frame and the crackle texture of the photo.

I am TOTALLY impressed!

My friend and I sit and giggle as we create and I think my favorite word is:

"Impressive"!!!

It's ok to be impressed with yourself, isn't it?

Have a marvelous day!
PS - No alcohol ink . . .?

Another Southwestern Look!

I'm liking this one too!

Alcohol Inks with a touch of Gold.

Have a wonderful day!
