Colorwheels... and a front porch view!


Before I tell about today's creations and adventures, I thought I'd post a photo of the sunrise today looking off of our front porch down into the front yard....this is why we love living where we live!!!


Remember the old colorwheels that we baby boomers' parents used to put on our "beautiful" silver tinsel Christmas trees? (ugh...) Well, today's challenge at 365 Cards, immedately brought to mind our old silver tree with it's colorwheel spinning for hours on end, lighting that tree up in hues of Red, Orange, Yellow, and Blue! The challenge for today was to use this color strip:







Dear friends, I am here to tell you that those new EK Success Punches make my life so much easier!!!



I punched & adhered stips of CS in the colors on the color strip with the Bubbles edge punch. I then stamped the sentiment, colored it, matted on black, glue dotted a ribbon and 'done'!


Stamp: Kolette Hall (Michaels $1 bin), Ink: Versafine Black, Tombow Markers, DCWV CS



Am working on some other things in between baby announcements, getting quotes on a pneumatic tank, and paying some bills, so hope to post again tomorrow!



We had Stamp Club today. Shirley led us in making faux felt flowers (too, too, TOO cute!), and I led with the making of a Pizza Box! We had a good time, especially after the chocolate was opened!!! (to fill the pizza boxes...really!!!)



Have a good Tuesday night! See you tomorrow!

Let's Get Together...


Good Morning! I hope that you are all enjoying a beautiful Sunday morning.

It's been very quiet here. DD is off to try a new contemporary church in this area, but being Father's Day, I'm trying to dote on/spoil DH a little bit, so I stayed in with him. He's not feeling real perky. I'll be relieved when all of these tests of his are done!

Today's card is for the Etsy Challenge over at Heart Hugs Designs. Again, there is a wonderful Etsy store, The Potato Patch, and the challenge was to pick out something to inspire a card. I loved all of the cute things (after all, I totally AM a granny-wannabe), but here is the one that I picked.

The leaf stamp is from PSX, and the sentiment is a Kolette Hall from the $1 bin at Michael's. The ink is Memories, Cherry Red, and CS is DCWV. Talk about a clean and simple card! I don't think any details are needed for this one!

By the way, Chat Dump Girl, this is a virtual invitation for you!!! July ??? Let me know after the 1st when you will be in town - my treat - Pad Thai??? Pasta House??? 12 West??? Your choice!

I just realized that I have a swap that is due (must be delivered by July 1st to Florida!), so my job for today is to brainstorm. The theme is "summer", so it should be an easy one!
***
Take care my friends - have a relaxing and safe Father's Day, and God Bless all of those dear dads out there. If you still have a dad, spoil him rotten!

~It is admirable for a dad to take his son fishing, but there's a special place in heaven for the dad who takes his daughter shopping! (Sorry about all of the ***'s - I could not get the paragraphs to space this a.m. Hope this works!) Just checked again - it didn't, so we are stuck with whatever we get today! Arggghhhh.....
