Happy Valentine's Day to Mrs. Todaro's Class...

A friend of mine messaged me and asked if I could send a Valentine's Day Card to her friend's class.  They are doing a geography class project to see if they could receive a Valentine from every state and also see if they would get any Valetine's Day cards from other parts of the world.  Here's the card that I made and sent them.
Happy Valentine's Day to Mrs. Todaro's Class...
I played along in the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC681.  I used Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, and My Mind's Eye paper.  MFT Love to My Gnomies stamp set, colored with copics.  Giant Love, Hearts a Plenty, and Layered Heart Border die-namics.  Finished off the card with white splatters.

Colored States are Valentine's received from Mrs. Todaro's Class so far.

 Thanks for having a look!

Get Well My Friends...

For two of my friends that needed some cheering up.  Wishing both of them a speedy recovery and hope that they are back on their bikes soon!!!

This was my take on the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC680.  I used My Favorite Things Transform-ables Heart Full of Love die-namics in Real Red.  MFT Bandaids die-namics in Creamy Caramel, White, and Real Red.  MFT Essential Stitched Sentiment die-namics in White and Black.  Sentiment is from the MFT Pure Innocence Best Medicine stamp set.

Happy Birthday Delia...

For my dear sweet friend and cycling buddy, Delia for her birthday.  One of the best parts of cycling is having coffee afterwards with great friends.  Just love our post ride coffee chats!

Happy Birthday Delia...

 My entry for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge, MFTWSC679.  I started out with a Very Vanilla card base.  I used My Favorite Things Mini Mugs die-namics with Mind's Eye Stella and Rose paper.  I also used the Stella and Rose for one of the layers.  I used White, Pretty Peacock, and Melon Mamba to finish off the Coffee Cup and mounted it on a Black circle.  I stamped my sentiment from My Favorite Things Coffee Order, then die cut it with the My Favorite Things Fishtail Foundations die-namics.

Happy Birthday Carol...

Happy New Year!  Well, it's my first post for the New Year.  I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year!  This is for my Mother in Law for her birthday.
Happy Birthday to my Mother in Law...

 While I was making this card I thought I was participating in the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #678.  Turns out I was looking at the wrong week and when I went to upload it, I saw that the link was closed, haha...ooops!  Ah well, it was still needed and still fun to make.  I'm not the greatest at water coloring and thought I'd give it some practice.  I started out with water color paper, using Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Pacific Point, and Gorgeous Grape inks.  I stamped the butterflies from the My Favorite Things Spread Your Wings stamp set, water colored them, put paper glaze on top of them, and mounted them on pop dots.  I ran a piece of Gorgeous Grape through the die cue machine, mounted it on top of my water color panel, then mounted it on a black card base.  Next I used a cotton ball to apply pearl ex to the Gorgeous Grape panel to give it some shimmer.  I stamped my sentiment and die cut it using the MFT Essential Stitched die-namics and mounted it on pop dots.

MRCC #1

I ended up making a second card like my hubs co-workers going away card.  This one is to get a jump start on thank you cards to have on hand for a trip that we're taking next year.
MRCC #1

 I used YoYo Yellow, Only Orange, Real Red for the sky.  Blueberry Bushel, Tempting Turquoise, Coastal Cabana for the sky.  My Favorite Things Beach Scene Builder in Black.  I stamped the sentiment from the MFT Big Greeting stamp set in White and Embossed with White Powder.


I powered through and managed to get all my blogging done for my 2023 card making!  I wasn't sure I was going to get it all done, yay me!  Next year I hope to stay on top of my blogging and instagram posting!  I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year!!!

Happy Birthday Pam!!!

The last December birthday to celebrate for our cycling group.  And unfortunately Pam wasn't able to make it to the celebration either, but we celebrated her in spirit too!!!
Happy Birthday Pam!!!

 I started out making the sky using Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Only Orange, and Gorgeous Grape.  I used Hero Arts Desert Sunset Fancy Die in Black.  I also took one of the layered dies from Impression Obsession in black and put it under the circle to give it some more texture/layers of cactus.  I stamped Happy Birthday from My Favorite Things Banner Day Sentiments and topped the card off with a Purple bike die with a Wink of Stella.

Thank you for having a peek at my blog!

Happy Birthday Larry!!!

Celebrating another December birthday for another great cyclist of ours.  Unfortunately Larry wasn't able to make it to the birthday celebration, but we celebrated him in spirit!
Happy Birthday Larry!!!
I used the Impression Obsession Desert scene die for this card with Black, Speckled Brown, Shimmery Yellow, and Night of Navy.  I splattered the Night of Navy with opaque white.  I ran the whole panel through the die cut using the MFT Rectangle Stitched Die-namics.  I used the Shimmery Yellow with the My Favorite Things Banner Die and stamped the sentiment from MFT Banner Day Sentiments on it.  I used Bronze cord to tie it together. and finished it off with a black bike die.

Happy Birthday Larry!!!
Linden, Larry, and me.
