It's All About The Journey

A 10 Minute Card

Hi ladies. I hope your all doing well and enjoying the lovely spring weather. Tonight I made a very clean and simple card. I made it for two reasons. I needed a thank you card and I also wanted to participate in the PPA theme challenge for this week. The them is flowers. They are also offering blog candy this week so if you have a few minutes then check the details.

I love making 10 minute cards and I love being able to share them with you.  Hope you like it.

Here is my card.

 

I told you it is a clean and simple card. :)

Here is what I used to make it.  

The stamps that I used are from the With All My Heart and Of the Earth stamp sets from Stampin' Up!.I used   Whisper White and Basic Black card-stock, Basic Black  and Razzleberry ink. The embossing folder that I used is called Elegant Bouquet and last but not least I used  Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon. All products are from Stampin'UP!  The technique that I used is stamping off.  So there you have it. Now you can see why it only took me 10 minutes to make.:)

I have been enjoying the lovely spring weather we have been getting. We have also been getting rain but only once or twice this week. No more 80 degree weather. We are back to the 50-60's during the day and down into the 40's at night. I will happily take it! :)I have been walking every day that I am able to. Today I walked for at least 3miles. I also stopped and took some photos but have not downloaded them yet so no photos to share today. All in all I have had a wonderful weekend and I hope that you did too. Now, I am going to go and watch a little TV with Wayne and hopefully turn in early tonight.  I will be back when I have something to share with you. Until then stay safe and Smile. :)

Who's Your BFF?

Hi Ladies. I have been out straight now that the nice weather has come to our part of the country. I've started my spring cleaning, I've been going outdoors to walk every day that the weather has been 40+degrees and then of course I have been working on my pages and cards. Those are just a few of the things I have been up to. I have another page finished  for the book that I am making for Wayne. I got my inspiration for the page about Wayne from one of the challenges at Soul Scrappers. I love this  Scrapping community because it really has challenged me. I love that my style of traditional and digital scrapping has changed thanks to Soul Scrappers owner Erika Martin.

So here is the page that I did for the BFF challenge.

Here it is in a smaller format so that you can see it how it looks in real life.

 

 

 

 
Here it is larger so that you can read what is on the page if you like.

Yes, Wayne is my best friend forever.  I am so very lucky to be married to a man that I consider to be my BFF. I've never had that before Wayne. It's a very cool feeling. I did make this page by using the MDS program from Stampin'UP!.I  love,love,love this program. But if you follow my blog then you all ready know this.:) Who is your BFF? I would love to know.

Personal Ramblings

Wow! We broke quite a few temperature records today. It was 87 degrees!!! It's almost as if we are skipping spring and going right into summer. In just the last 2 days we are finally getting some buds on our trees. It's a bit early for us but I'll take it.:)  I've been walking  just about every day and that has been awesome.  Today I brought my little point and shoot and took a few photos because it was so beautiful outdoors. Not much to photograph yet because the trees are still bare and the flowers are not up yet.  But here are a couple of pictures I took just for fun.

 
  

Here is the river that goes through a section of or our village. As you can see our trees are bare.

 
Now why would I take a photo of this hydrant? At least I think that's what is. :) Because I loved the red color. I also took some  photos of cows but they did come out as well as I had hoped so next time I walk that route I will try again.  

I hope that you enjoyed looking at my digital page and my silly red hydrant. I hope that all of you have a fantastic rest of the week. I will be back as soon as I have something to share with you. Stay safe and Smile. :)

A Spring Card

 Hi Ladies. It seems that summer is here instead of spring! But I'm not complaining. The sun and the warm temperatures have been wonderful and I hope that they stay with us for awhile.:)

 Today I made a card for the PPA Color Challenge PPA36. I had forgotten how much I love the colors that we had to use for this challenge. I will be using them a lot more.

Here is my card.

All products that I used are from Stampin'UP!  The card-stock I used is Lavender Lace, Barely Banana, Celery Green and Whisper White.The sentiment that I used is from Teeny Tiny wishes, I made the flowers by using the Simple Flower embosslit die. The leaves were made by using the Little Leaves sizzlit die. The ink is lavender lace, the ribbon is Barely Banana grosgrain ribbon that I have had from last year. I used a Barely Banana and a lavender lace button for the flowers. I popped up the flowers by using dimensional dots and did the same for the Lavender Lace rectangle layer. Last but not least I used the Perfect polka Dots Impressions folder that was being sold the last mini catalog. I sure hope that this folder is brought back when the new big catalog comes out this summer. So that is it. Another very simple card to make and very cheerful to look at too.

 

Personal Ramblings

 

I have to keep my chatter brief because it is after 3 AM and I am very tired. Yesterday Wayne and I went to our youngest grandsons birthday party. He turned 6!  My gosh the time is passing by so quickly. Everyone had a blast at the party including the men. Wayne and I did some shopping afterward and then we came home. Me to go for my walk and Wayne to rake up some more leaves on our land. Poor guy he has a long way to go yet before he is finished. I took a few photos of him working and he took a few photos of me. I will of course be using our photos to make scrap pages. Today we are just hanging out. I will be taking a long walk again and I have a feeling that Wayne will do some more raking. That will be it for our Easter Sunday.

I hope that all of you have a very blessed and happy Easter day.  Stay safe, stay warm and Smile. :)

Thanks for stopping by.
