Hi there everyone. Can you believe another week has passed us by??? April is almost over, although I won't miss the snow that went with it, it's all mostly gone, tomorrow the weatherman is saying a little rain and that will wash all the snow away. I won't miss it.
Watching some hockey tonight. The Pittsburgh Penguins played the Washington Capitals and won 3-2. Now playing, the Vegas Golden Knights are playing the San Jose Sharks and Vegas won 7-0, what a game!!! The Knights scored 3 goals in 7 minutes...that was amazing!!! The Sharks put another goalie in the net after 5 goals.....the Knights just scored another goal with the new goalie....great game!! My Step-father, if he was still alive would probably be rooting for the Vegas Knights, as he gave up on the Chicago Blackhawks....I didn't though....but as long as the Knights are in the playoffs and not the Hawks, I shall root for the Knights, and hope they get the Stanley Cup!!!!
I love this fancy die, it's a Spellbinder, I bought it from Our Daily Bread it's called Vintage Flourish Pattern and also the outer frame is called Vintage Flourish frame. I am still looking for the oval that would fit the inside of the frame. (this oval is borrowed from Betty)Thought I had it when I ordered some ovals from Amazon...but nope, still not a fit.
I have been borrowing this die from Betty. Always with the thought of getting my own set....well finally I got my own set. Makes such a pretty card. I have this card sitting by my computer, like those purple and white flower that are glued with dots.
The pictures are printed on Acetate from the computer. I have quite a few pictures, mostly of "frogs" why, I don't know, but I think a few of those frogs will go for Father's day cards for Hospice.
This is my favorite card....I like that picture of the lady....so vintage looking, I think.
Well, the Knights won this game 7-0 Andre Fluery is the goalie for the Knights.....I wish the Chicago Blackhawks could have a goalie like him.....he is a winning goalie. Hopefully this next season will be better.
Have a good evening and keep looking up.....better days are coming, here, there, or in the air!!!!! Cheers ~ Louise
Hi there everyone. Well, it is hump-day....gosh these days are flying by fast. In 3 days, it's my birthday, did I ever think I would make it to 69???? No-sir-ree I did not. When I was 16 years old, 69 was REALLY old to me, like "rocking chair old". Oh well, I guess we are just a flash in the pan, a puff of smoke, a vapor that is here today and gone tomorrow. Age, it's just a number tagged on to our lives, it's what is in our heart that counts, personally, I just wish the body would cooperate with the heart and mind in the age bracket. If our heart and mind feel like 25....then our bodies should do the same....right???
Talking about age...in these two pictures is the card I made for my Niece's 1 year old daughter. I thought this card turned out really cute. I love how a card comes together, step by step. I bought this stamp set at a thrift store about a year ago and finally used it for this card. Can you see the two layers?? Think I will make a few more of these for the nieces and nephews...next birthday is in March, Evan will be 7??? I better check that one out for sure.
Another picture of the birthday card...here you can see the two layers.
So today, I went to my friends house to make these 4 cards, all Christmas cards....yay... just a few more ideas to use. I really like this card....the stamp was bought from "Our Daily Bread" I need to check out that site and buy this stamp. JP really likes this stamp too. Can you read the stamp that goes along with the candy cane??? Neat saying.
This was a really pretty card, but very putsy, we spent about an hour on this one, it took a lot of time to make, no, may not use this one for a Christmas card to send out.
Liked this card, it was stamped on brown card stock and speckles and sequins were the only embellishment.....very classy.
I may make some of these cards for Christmas, very simple and easy to make. The candles were just pieces of paper and the flame was sparkle paper.....I don't have the branches, so that is something I would have to do something different with.
Well that is about all I have for today. Tomorrow my Blue Apron box will be showing up at the front door....I look forward to my box and the different meals it gives me. Wonder what I will learn this week. Can you tell my life at this point is revolving around card making and cooking...takes my mind off of all the terrible things happening in this world....hard to bear and hear sometimes.
I have been working on some Christmas cards for Biz....so in a few days I will put those cards up in my blog so Biz can see what her card order looks like. So you all have a great night and keep looking up, better days are coming soon. Cheers ~ Louise
