Sunshine & Smiles

Today's card was a fun one to make on a very rainy day here on the farm.

I have a friend who is struggling with some health issues so I thought this might cheer her up.

My card base is Granny Apple Green and I am using that fun Fruit Salad DSP that I've used on the other cards I posted this week. My sentiment is from Enjoying Little Things.

I'm using the sketch from CASE-ing Tuesday #493 which is on Facebook.

Happy Stamping, my friends, and have a wonderful weekend!

Today's card is another thank you card I needed. I made it for our oldest son and his family. 

I love that as the creator we can customize our cards! We have an apple tree in our front yard that our granddaughters have helped pick up the "old" apples that we then feed to the goats, sheep, llama and cow on our walk when they are here. Sooooo, I made sure the apple panel was larger and included a bird because we are always looking for the birds and watching them when they come around. 

For my card I used another panel of the Fruit Salad DSP (coming to SU! Jan. 7 as a SAB item). The sentiment and bird are from Winterly Tree Tops and the neat die is from the Mixed Labels dies (coming Jan. 7 as an Online Exclusives item).

I am playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Sketch #610

Here's a pic of Paisley feeding the goats the apples.

And a pic of the animals!

And a pic of the recipients of the card! Our oldest son, Steven, and his family. They just had a baby boy four weeks ago! More about that in another post.

Happy Stamping!

Happy New Year! 

Today's card is a thank you I needed for a gift we received during the holidays.

Can you guess what the gift was?! Yep!  A delicious box of pears! They were so yummy. Like eating candy!

My card uses a Granny Apple Green card base. I adhered a piece of black and white gingham from my retired stash. I cut two circles using the Stylish Shapes dies from the Fruit Salad DSP which is a SAB item coming next week. I stamped the sentiment from Go To Greetings onto a banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I added a bit of gold thread and a few sequins.

I'm playing along at TGIF Challenges. #tgif505 where they are looking for thank you cards.

Happy Stamping!
