Feline better?

Hi there!

Tuesdays are the day I'm up on the blog over at The Project Bin

and today I'm sharing a Get Well card.

Because when someone is sick,

we always hope they are feline better ♥

 

 I know that the card world is filled with all things fall ~
pumpkins, fall colors, scarecrows and more.

My daughter's kitty, Finny, has been in an out of the the vet 

for 2 weeks now.

We're not sure what the real dx is

 or what the final treatment outcome will be,

and my daughter is just beside herself.

I thought a pick me up card was in order,

along with a note that I'll be taking her to her favorite dinner spot

when she's comfortable with going.

AND ...

the last 2-3 weeks have been absolutely bonkers crazy

and we all need some R & R around here! :)

I've used Feline Good from The Project Bin

and used this photo from SCS Inspiration as my guide.

Something about all those funky colorful arrows grabbed my eye

and I ad-libbed the riest :)

  How I love pun-ny cards!

Give me a good joke, one liner or tell me something punny

 and I'm a happy girl!

Luckily, my daughter shares my sense of hunor :)

Measure your life in laughter, I say!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

New blog series: 5 days of ... (Day 1)

Hi friends!

Today's the day!  Today's the day!

It's Day 1 of my summer blog series kick-off and I'm really excited ♥
For the next 3 weeks, Monday-Friday, 
I'll be sharing a summer series of cards that I call  "5 days of ..."
Each week, the theme will be a surprise until each Monday's reveal, like today :)

 

So in addition to creating 5 new cards a week,

I hope this will be a chance to get to see more in depth views of 

my crafting style and creating in the spirit of inspiration and sharing!
From different techniques to tried 'n true, 
from my had-to-have-it to the what-was-I-thinking,
I hope to cover a little bit of something that will be fun!

And!
 For hanging out with me during this (hot!) summer series,

I have a coordinating giveaway!

Yay!

(*see details below)

This week's summer cards series theme is: 

The Alphabet Game!

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 - A, B, C to make a card with just one letter!

I used random.org letter generator and the letter W 

was the lucky letter for my first card.

Ohhhh!  I have a couple of stamps/sets that start with W.

Since the purpose of the series is for me to do something differently,

it had to be a stamp/set that I hadn't used before!

 My sweet little Wplus9 stamp/die set called the Get Well Gang

 was the perfect choice since I needed to make a card for the Crafters of Faith.

I saw it, bought it, and poor thing hasn't made it out of the box .. until now!

I chose this particular stamp set because our cards were based on

a scripture of Psalm 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart"

I was inspired to create a card of healing and faith pulling me

through my husband's recent emergency surgery and hospitalization.
Indeed I felt His presence and love during a time of trial and trusting in His will

has to be automatic ♥

It was also hard to resist those cute little critters

and the darling doctor and patient, mice and get well cheese!

Day 1 - check!

W = get WELL with Wplus9!

It's a good thing random.org is exactly that ~

After W is X and I'd be scratching my head trying to figure that out, LOL!

I hope to see you tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Dueling Darlings - Get Well Soon!

Happy Friday!

 

Our little man has been waiting on this day more than me!

We are en route to 'roughing it',

camping in rural central Florida with my son's Boy Scout Den. 

HOO-RAH!

This campground is so rustic, it doesn't even have electricity :'/

Tents, bugs, snakes - all things that will make the scouts crazy happy

(and this mom hiding in the car at night, no doubt!)

4 days, 3 nights ......

I'm trading my Starbucks,

fpr sleeping under the stars!

As my husband pointed out, I did sign on for a year of Adventure - LOL!

And It's here, it's here!

The DDD!

After a long winter's nap,

the Dueling Darling card kit group is back and ready to color, craft, create!.

This month, our hostess for the Divas is Barb,

and Tracie is hostessing for the Dazzlers ...

and they've chosen a charming theme of:  Get Well Soon!

And a warm welcome to our newest member, Terry :)

Our card kit from Barb included a stamped image from her favorite co:

Whipper Snapper!

She also included some absolutely luscious SU paper, Comfort Cafe

and embellishments to match ...

the object of the card kit is to use just your own cardstock and glue,

as the rest of the card is made with the items sent.

I loved every little piece of this generous, charming kit - 

a few more cards can still be made!

Please be sure to check in with the rest of the Divas and Dazzlers

to see what they've created ~

you can find them in my sidebar! ♥

*my dd will be by to edit this, as seeing it now it's grainy 

and the lighting is crazy!*

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
