Sending Smiles

Yet another Papertrey Ink card for you using the same set as the balloon card....I used a set from TAC for the flowers. Stamped the bike and colored with my Copics. Added some hot pink floss to my buttons and stamped the sentiment on the bottom...although, looking at the card now, it seems like the sentiment is a bit crooked...things happen...lol

The hot pink paper is also Papertrey Ink. I love their cardstock and the way everything matches. Its so easy to create a card when everything matches. I didn't always think this way...but it does make it easier.

Tomorrow I will be spending time out at my pool with one of my girlfriends and her daughter...I'm sure we will have lots of fun.

Hope you all have a great day!!

More later.....

Soaring By

Here is my latest creation using a new set that I just got from Papertrey Ink

This is a fun set to use. Instead of buttons you can use flowers or whatever you think would be cool....maybe just pattern circles..the skies the limit with this set.

This is only one of the images..there are many more, which I will show you in the days to come.

The dots on the background are also from PTI, which I got quite awhile ago. I decided to use dots since the balloons are circles...I also used my scallop punches to mount my balloon image on.

Its kinda hard to see, but I used some dark blue ribbon on the bottom over the red paper.

Life is always busy in the summer. We just got home from a fun camping trip. We try to camp twice a month. We go back to the Quad Cities, which is where I'm originally from and that's where our family and friends are....most of our friends anyway..lol

Yesterday I spent the day in the pool, but today its kinda cloudy and there is a chance of some rain coming in later today...so I will go get some errands done that I didn't do yesterday.

Hope you all have a fantastic week....more later...tata for now...............

Busy Busy

Seems like I am never home these days. I have been gone every weekend for the last four weekends. Just got home from visiting my brother and family in Omaha over the 4th. We had a great time and cant wait to go back again in the next month or month and a half.

Saw my doctor today and we are going to schedule my surgery for the end of September or first of October. I will see him again the middle of September. I am going to San Antonio sometime in September so want to wait until after that to have my surgery.
Why waste a good summer...lol

This card uses a Stampin Up set that I got and hadn't even inked....crazy I know. Colored her with Prismacolor markers and used some pattern paper that I had in my stash...the never ending stash of paper.....matted my sentiment and my main image and that's it. Very easy. Have no idea who I'm going to send it to, but it turned out pretty good.

I know its time to get busy and make some more cards to show you. I have a scrapbook order I need to get busy on also. I'm doing a baby boy scrapbook for a lady in my church to give to someone in her family. This lady has probably ordered 10 baby books from me in the last year. I'm glad she has a big family...lol

That's it for now...tata....................
