Hey Chick!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Wow, yesterday's temps were in the low 80's!  Picked up the granddaughter (a spur of the moment thing after an appointment) and headed to the park.  We sat on a bench to have a little picnic with the meal we grabbed on the way there.  It was so nice sitting there enjoying nature and people watching.  Hope you enjoyed the warmer weather, too. 

It will be Easter soon.  I'm sharing another Card Buffet sample, which was a special request from a customer.  I was happy to oblige with a card from the past because this chick is so cute!  My inspiration came from Corie Foster and her version can be seen here (scroll down to Feb 14 post).

Must tackle my to-do list.  Have a great weekend and thank you for coming by today!

Birthday Fishes

Hi there - another scheduled post while I'm away with my stamping peeps!  I made this cute card at one of Sarah Klasing's monthly classes awhile back.  Most of the products are now retired.  The fish's body was made from the Delightful Decorations set stamped in Only Orange ink and punched out with the ornament punch.  Hey - some current products!  The retired 5-Petal Flower Punch (cut apart) was used for his fins and tail.  His eye is made with circle punches and the "bubbles" are rhinestones. This little guy is happily swimming along the grassy bottom of some lake made using Inspired by Nature (yep, it's retired).

Can you tell I'm purging my card stash?  They may be oldies but they're still goodies.  Thanks for coming by today!

Hi there!  Hope you had a great long holiday weekend.  Well, Summer is now unofficially over but you sure couldn't tell by the temps we're having today.  Keep that A/C on a little longer!  Enough about that, huh?  On with today's card, which was pulled from my stash to send to a friend.  It is one that was made with the Wednesday Girls some time ago.  (The Triple Treat Flower and 5-Petal Punch both are now  retired.)  My card was CASEd from Jayne Singleton's here who CASEd hers from Wendy Weixler here.

Ink:  Night of Navy, Bashful Blue

That's it for today.  Must get some errands run before I pick up my sister-in-law from the airport and take her to her nephew's house.  Have a great day and thank you for stopping in!

It's the Berries...

As in strawberries.  Hope you are having a good week. The card today entails some punch art.  The strawberry is made from the Full Heart punch, which was then embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and lightly sponged with Chocolate Chip ink to add some dimension. The ribbon is from my stash of ribbon from various stores.  (Gasp!)

The flowers on my sample were made from the Trio Flower punch, which is retired.  For Camp we used the flower from the Itty Bitty punch pack.
