UnBirthday

So my daughter-in-law is having a Surprise UnBirthday Party for my son tomorrow. His birthday once again falls on Thanksgiving. The kids was 3 1/2 weeks late so I don't feel too sorry for him. I thought he would never be born. LOL Anyway I knew I had to use some of my Wonderland Digi Stamps. Alice is from The Greeting Farm and the Forest, Mad Hatter and March Hare are Dustin Pike. The cake is just some clipart. The pop-cup table/cake is from Linda Davis. The back?front of the card says This card is reproduced with permission of Wonderland. Any silliness, bizarre and mad behavior of the bearer may send the recipient back to Wonderland.

Fall Foliage Cruise

I just got home from a wonderful Fall Foliage Cruise with my DH. We just celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The weather was amazing. The 1st day out we went through the beautiful Saguenay Fjord. We saw lots and lots of Beluga & Minke Whales. The trees were so colorful and the waterfalls were brilliant.

My DH surprised me with an Opal Engagement Ring. I didn't get one when we were married. Our waiter at the Italian Restaurant filmed him giving it to me.

We made stops at Sept-Iles and Prince Edward Island. We got to visit some of the
"Anne of Green Gables" Spots. It was so much fun.

We spent one day at sea and then into Halifax, Portland and then into Boston. The picture below is from the Halifax Public Gardens.

This is the lighthouse at Fort Williams in Portland.

So friends surprised us and met us in Boston. We got to attend their son's church on Sunday and had the very best Hamburger ever for lunch at RF Sullivan & Son.

Happy World Card Making Day!

I however will be way too busy to make cards today. It always seems to be that way. However I did get a lot made last week. Here is the birthday card for my niece who will be turning 19 in a couple of week. No it's not the 10th. I had to fix that before I sent it. I'm always a day off on her birthday. ACK!

Anyhoo, I used another leftover card base from graduation. The "girls" are all Greeting Farm girls. The Music notes are from Hannah Montana cart.

Hope you enjoy your day!

The other fish are from some 8 1/2 X 11 paper someone gave me.

Back to School

So Dear Hubby needed me to make some cards for the Educators in our church. He wanted to give them a note of encouragement as the school year started. I have to admit I got carried away but I LOVE how they came out. In the process I discovered a new technqiue. I'm sure that someone else's has probably already done it but I was excited. I wanted to give the trees and leaves texture. I thew all the tree trunks (15) into my Tim Holtz Distressed Wood folder. Ran it through the Texture Boutique. The debossing/embossing was light and random. I used the Tim Holtz Distressed Brick Wall folder for the leaves. I literally dumped about 30 leaves in the folder and ran it though. If you click on some of the pictures you can see the detail on the leaves.
The files I used for this project were from SVG Cuts and My Scrap Chick. The card base is from a set card September Scenes Stand Up Cards. It's was the Maple Forest Card. I also used the School House & School Bus from School Bears at My Scrap Chick. Who has extended their 60% off sale! Woot!

For Doris

We received word on Wednesday that my husband's Aunt Doris had cancer and would not live much longer. She loved my cards and so I made her a special card on Thursday. Sadly the card did not make it do her before she died. I am glad though that she did not linger as the kind of cancer can be especially painful. It is an easel card with a file from Mary when she had Mamaw's Legacy. The stamp sets are both from Stamping Up.
