Flowers & Sailing for Birthdays!

This is a great stamp set from Stampin up called "Sailing Home". I have made this style card quite a few times. I like that you can see the inside of the card because of the acetate. The inside sentiment on the card I found on Pinterest and it was perfect. Happy Birthday Sandy!

This birthday card is for a friend who loves gardening and especially her flowers. Her gardens are beautiful! I have made tent, frame and diorama cards before but this one is called a "3D Collapsible Frame Card". The tutorial can be found on youtube and it is by Iced Images.

Here is a side view of the card which shows that they is plenty of room for your message or sentiment that you need to write. Happy Birthday Eileen!

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful sunset from our backyard. It was so gorgeous I wanted to end with a beautiful picture!

First Birthday Cards for 2023

This style, Triple Stepper card, was the first for me. I have made the double one but not triple. The paper collection is Graphic 45 safari collection. It is another beautiful collection! Happy Birthday Betti!

I took the back of the card before I added gold balloons. But I wanted to show that there is plenty of space for a sentiment and some embellishments. My second card is for a student of my husband's because they share a birthday date (January 20th). She has given Mark a card since she was in 2nd grade and she is not in her 30's. She is a terrific lady with children of her own and now she facetimes with Mark on their shared birthday. I have made this card before but it is so true of Tia! You Rock Tia!

The above picture is the birthday gift I gave to my husband for his birthday. We have been to 13 National Parks and we love Yellowstone! I got this on Etsy and Mark loved it! I framed it and now it is ready for his office wall. Happy Birthday to my dear husband!!

Angels Watching!

I am so proud of myself! My first Dreaming Tree project that I was able to download and put together! I have made 5 of them! They are so much fun to make! I have seen a bunch of them on Dreaming Tree Facebook page and they are all so beautiful. Love how they like up with just a tealight or little fairy lights work. I have given them away as gifts and also have sold 2 of them. Here are a few more pictures of the ones I have made.

Today is a perfect day to get some things done in the house. Here in the Northeast it is freezing rain with some light snow on and off. We have had snow but not much so far this winter. The rain and warm temperatures have melted the snow and now just waiting for the next snowfall!

It is very pretty looking out the window but glad I don't have to drive in it! Happy New Year everyone!
