Summer Days

Hello All! Its almost the weekend! I'm excited and hopefully its nice out! I finally got my garden planted so now all I have to do is the watering and harvesting :) Its so exciting to accomplish big projects that actually eventually reward you!

For today's project I was sort of inspired by the rain... Even though its a summery project :)

I used part of a file I got from KaDoodle Bug Designs .. (the pool noodles and float)
The Card Base and Sentiment tag came from the SIL store..
The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs...

I wanted to make this card because this summer there will be lots of times my nephew will be having play dates at my house in my pool.. so I thought this would make a cute invite for one of his play dates...


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Delightful Challenges: Here comes the sun
Cameo Creations Challenge: Summertime
Dutch Dare Card Challenge: Summer's coming
Crazy 4 Challenges: Summer Inspiration


Thanks for stopping by! <3 Until next time!

#1 Pappy

Hello all! Hope all is well! This past couple of weeks has been crazy with the weather here.. First its so hot you cant breathe then its cold as all get out.... But thanks to Mother nature I have been able to get some crafting done :)


So for today's post I wanted to share with you a card that I made for my sweet little nephew to give my dad on Father's Day. My nephew is so attached to my dad that its not even funny.. As soon as he walks out the door he starts crying and screaming Pappy... So I thought that my dad would enjoy a card from him.

The card base I got from the SIL store.

The Little boy came from KaDoodle Bug Designs "Little Engineer"

The Flag was also from the SIL store.

And the stamps are from K Andrew Designs

His face is from Peachy Keen Stamps 

I left a little space for my nephew to "write on" Since he's only 20 months old I know it will be scribbles but it will be nice for him to personalize it for my dad :) 

I will be entering this card into the following challenges: 

KaDoodle Bug Designs (on Facebook) - Fathers Day with 3 Textures

My Craft Spot - DAD

Papertake Weekly Challenge- Anything Goes

<3 Until Next time 

Father's Day

Hello Everyone! I know its been a while since my last post and I'm sorry.. It has been super crazy with everything going on...But I wanted to show you a card that I made for my dad to give him on Father's Day.

My dad is a Huge Harley Fan... 

And I actually got this file from an online group that I am in

I forget who uploaded it but Thank You to the creator.

I just added "DAD" in the center bar instead of the Harley Logo because I wanted it to be personal for him.

I used the scrap orange cut for the inside so I  could stamp it.

I am entering this into:

Simply Create Too #32

Its midway through our challenge over at Simply Create Too and its about St Patrick's Day!!!
Stop over and show us what you have created!!!



My project is:

For every holiday I have been making something that I can take to work with me.. I 

am a caretaker for an elderly couple and the gentleman has a very advanced stage of dementia

and he just loves seeing new things that he can talk about on the table when he eats. 

I have become very fond of them both and it makes me happy to know that they enjoy the little 

things that I do to brighten their day.

So this hat now sits on top of the snowman goblet that I made them for Christmas so hes now their snowy

Leprechaun. 

<3 Until next time! Enjoy crafting and craft what makes you happy!
