SO....here I am again, finally!
Seems I can't get to my room, photos, and computer, to create posts. Life has been on the wild side since dear hubby retired Feb. 28th. Hopefully in a month or so, things will quiet down for a while, at least until August 1st!
Anyway, I have some photos to share today. I'm going to begin with a coloring page that our granddaughter did last week when she was here. I showed her a bit about blending her inks as she colored, and I am in awe of her detailed coloring! She is NINE years old, folks! I was still using crayons at 9, I'm pretty sure! Here is her beautiful work - if you get a chance, leave her a bit of love here, and I'll see that she gets it!
On to some things I've made, but not yet posted:
This is bits and pieces from a Stampin' Up! kit, and an older Stampin' Up! stamp set with the cutest panda's.
There are several photos of the next card. This first photo is the cover, or card base, and belly band. This was a card that we made at our Card and a Cuppa that we have on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday mornings at Panera's. My friend, Ruth Petsel, led the group that day, and we made this amazing
Stadium Wave card!
I've included lots of photos, so you can see the different waving panels.
If you look closely at this one, you will see that my white bird is upside down. Oops! I have
taken it off, and have put a Happy Birthday sentiment where the bird was. Silly me!
All of the Ephemera that I used for this card is a set from Ranger that I bought at the stamp store in Kimmswick, Mo.
The next 3 cards are from a Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. My bestie, Shirley and I have
decided to share a kit, as neither of us need 8, 10, or 12 of anything in the kit. These are my
share of the kit!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm missing everyone, and hope to sit down and leave some love on your blogs tonight!
Take care, and God bless!

Food for thought: Much of our unhappiness in life is the result of comparing
ourselves to others...
A wonderful display of beautiful cards!

ReplyDeleteWow! Your DGD did an incredible job with the coloring on that shell! I can see the bits of shimmer over it too! It looks so dimensional! Tell her I'm so impressed with the coloring!
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects from your fun class and I especially love that amazing fan fold design on the inside of that one card! The coloring and images look stunning my friend! Thanks for sharing and I hope that you are able to catch some rest soon. Best wishes for your hubby and his surgery. Sending prayers.
Very beautifully colored by your granddaughter, for sure! Kids these days seem to be so smart and talented! Your cards are great, too. I hope life settles down somewhat for you.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful cards. Your granddaughter is talented and a darling person. I enjoyed meeting her and your daughter last week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Patti, your wave card is an absolute stunner!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done to your granddaughter for her fabulous colouring, she's obviously inherited some of Granny's talents!
Why have I not seen the clam shell??? This is BEAUTIFUL.. she did such a beautiful job and she had a great teacher. I enjoyed seeing all the other cards - I really need to get something on my blog but...no excuses just haven't.
