Simple Thanks

Happy Friday everyone! We've had a good day here. We got a lot of errands done and even had time to see Wall E and go out to eat. Wall E was very cute by the way, worth the money for sure.

I made several of these cards as thank you's to a few of my customers who recently placed some orders. I gave it along with an assortment of some of my embellishments that I've gathered over the years, and some stamped images that they can use. I just wanted to let them know how much I appreciate them.

Outdoor Fun

Well my Wednesday is over which means only tomorrow is left and I'm done for the week! Our town is having their annual Fishers Freedom Festival this weekend and there are a lot of fun things to do there: food vendors, games for the kids, parades, fireworks, etc. Just a nice hometown festival like I remember going to as a kid. Also, the movie Wall E comes out this Friday. So we are all looking forward to this weekend. I hope you all have good weekends too!

This card represents what many people do for fun in the summer which is camping. We aren't big campers in my family. We like the sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows part but when it comes to bedtime we prefer a regular bed and access to a toilet and shower. We definitely would do the camper thing if we could afford one.

Happy Monday all! I know, the words "happy" and "Monday" should not be in the same sentence! But actually today was a pretty good day so it's alright just this once. :) I made this card really quick last night and I love how it turned out. I was a little off center when I stamped the outlines of the leaves but I kind of like it. The white showing on the tops of some of the leaves gives an illusion of light coming from that direction. So sometimes mistakes can be a good thing.

Masculine Card

I sometimes wonder if guys get tired of brown and blue. It seems like whenever I think of making a card for a guy I automatically think of those two colors. I suppose society has just conditioned me to think that way. I do know that if I gave my husband a card made with pink and purple he would look at me like I had two heads. So I guess brown and blue works for him. :)

Homey Hospitality

Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a good weekend. We had fun this weekend. On Friday we drove up to my parent's home in Chesterton (5 miles south of the Dunes State Park) and played at the beach for a while. The kids had fun playing in the water (it was too chilly for me to get in!) and digging in the sand. Even though it's not the ocean it's nice to walk the beach and hear the waves. It was great growing up there. I went to the beach almost every day in the summers when I could drive by myself. I would lay out on the beach from 10:00-2:00 without any sunscreen and not think twice about it. If I tried that now I would be suffering for days and probably get sun poisoning. That makes me think the o-zone is thinning for sure.
