Gone Fishin'!

Hi friends!

Happy Weekend!

This is another rare weekend for our family where we have

 nothing. on. the. calendar!

I love lazy weekends of not having to be here or there.

Today, I watched the sun rise with my warm cuppa,

hearing the birds happily chirping their morning wake up call.

It was a chilly 65* this morning ~ bliss!

Today I have a quick card that I made for Splitcoaststampers ~

Memory Lane and the inspiration challenge.

My brother (a little over a year older than me) and I had an amazingly adventurous childhood, often leaving at dawn and returning at dusk.

Different times indeed! 

We'd spend hours having adventures in our towns,

including fishing on the docks and lakes and ponds

with twigs and sticks and a spool of mama's thread!

We didn't catch much of anything but we had the best of times ♥

I've made a CAS card with my Stampabilities Snoopy Stamp

and aqua and white colored cardstocks, run through the Gemini Jr with a die.

The clouds are from My Favorite Things

and, as of now, the inside is blank until I figure out where this will end up!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Hi Friends!

 

I have another card to share with you today ~

 a Shaker Card!

 

 

 

I'm using a this stunning image from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps 

called Fishing with dad.

I chose this image for my card today because my son

loves to fish so this will be his Father's Day card

 for my husband this year ♥

And this is the inside of my card:

 

For this image and many more,

As Always,

Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Hi there!  I hope your week is off to a good start :)   We have 2 of the kids at VBS this week and the other 2 are at 3 weeks of musical theater camp all day so for the next 3 weeks it zoom zoom all around town, all the while trying not to cough up a lung :)  

This bi-weekly challenge at Riley and Company is brought to us by Jovita who asked us to make a card for the special guy/Father.  My sweet father has left this earth to be with our blessed Savior and I await our great meeting again one day - hopefully many, many years from now :)  And I already made my honey his Father's Day card so I thought I'd make another one 'just for pun' :)  He takes our lil man fishing from time to time which is a joy like none other for him so I chose Fishing Riley.   This has always been one of my fave Rileys to use for the guys!  I love his old fishing hat, how relaxed he is hoping to catch something other than an old boot ;)   Remember to load your cards to the gallery using the keyword Riley1212 and you can link them to the challenge blog  ~ we'd love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by today ~ have a fantastic rest of today!

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
