My dad was in the Navy & Coast Guard, and it seems we were always around lighthouses.  My dad LOVES lighthouses, and I think the older I get, I am really starting to appreciate them as well.  So, I obviously choose Lighthouse as one of my images!!

My dad has always tried to teach me how to tie knots.  So I thought that would be a nice touch instead of a ribbon or flower on this card.  I didn't have any rope, so the square knot isn't quite as nice - but you get the point.

For my next card, I used Monkey Around.  He is just too darn cute!!!!! I immediately saw browns and green when I started doing this card. 

This is a very versatile image that can be used in so many ways!  Birthday, miss you, hang in there!!  The DP I used on this is from DCWV's Green Stack, which is 70% recycled paper.  It's a little hard to see, but there are vines running thru it and I thought it would be great for this card.

Well........onto our next stop Debbie~Live Life Loud

Happy Mother's Day !!

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day ~ I did!!  My parents stopped, along w/my son and his 2 daughters today and we just hung around, had some fun, cooked out on the grill, and went for a short walk.  And to top it off, the weather was just beautiful - 72 and mostly sunny - PERFECT!!

Here is the card I created for my mother:

She LOVED it!!! I used my new Sizzix Hero Arts stamp & die-cut set.  All together is has 3 different flowers, a ladybug and a bee.  For the sentiment, I just "whipped' up something on the computer in Word, added some bling and there you have it!  I really like the way it turned out. 

Well......this tired mama is off to bed!!  See you again real soon!

More Happy Birthday........

As you seen from my last post - a great friend and co-worker recently celebrated her 50th birthday.  I offered to make the card for her for all of us co-workers to sign.  I just LOVE Bugaboo stamps and especially Stella!  She is such a hoot!

This image is Stella Birthday - one more candle. I put the sentiment on the inside that goes along with this image.  It reads "What's one more friggin candle"....LOL

SO glad she liked it  : )  Hope you did too ~ till next time!

Happy Birthday

This past Sunday, a co-worker/friend was celebrating her 50th birthday!!  She had also been off of work for 2 weeks due to a knee surgery.  When she came back to work on Monday, we all dressed in black and totally decorated our office space w/awesome 50th and 'senior' moment decorations.  My boss and her are very close friends and asked if I could make a card for her birthday.  I said sure....why not!  I wanted it to be 'cheery' and upbeat especially after her surgery.

I had recently bought this Stampin Up set ~ Sassy Suzie ~ off of Craigslist and couldn't wait to use it! She thought it was awesome!!!
