Jar of flowers

 One of the girls in my group did some cards using library cards and I thought what she did was pretty cool, she said she wanted to see what I would do, so here is my take on it.

I used a stencil on my library card that I printed on my computer, honestly I downloaded this years ago from a free site but back then I wasn't concerned with documenting where I got things from, they are just in my free folder :)  The jar and flowers are stamps with dies.

• Tim Holtz - Doily Layering Stencils w/Kitsch Flamingo ink, mowed Lawn and Forest moss around the edges of the library card
• Printed Library card
• Tim Holtz - Flower Jar stamps and dies, colored w/markers
• Crafter's Companion - Advent Calendar paper
• Hero Arts -  All Occasions message sentiment stamp

I would like to share my card in these challenges:
Stencil Fun Challenge Bouquet

Retro Rubber Challenge Spring flowers 2018

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!

High Score 25

 I made a card using these dies a little while ago for a great nephew, when hubby saw it, he said oh that would be perfect for his co worker that had just bought these flying games for his system, so I made a note of that and when it was time to figure out what to say on the computer screen he wanted High Score 25, because he won't let anyone know his age, he just tells everyone each year that he is turning 25.

I had some cork ribbon I used for the table and I made up a bag of chips and cola that he likes to snack on.

• Spellbinders - You've got game die
• Die Versions - Alphabet & numbers die
• Michaels - Cork ribbon
• Starform - Silver border out line sticker
• Hand made the chips and cola
• Home made cloud stencil

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Nature

 It was time once again for a bird card don't you think, and my nephew hadn't had one yet, so out he came to play.  Do you see that gray piece for the body of the bird, that is a piece of tissue box, I have so many of them saved I thought I had better start using some of them, LOL!

• Sizzix - Feathered Friends die
• Spellbinders - Mushroom die
• The Grettery - Wood slices die
• Memory Box - Sentiment greeting tag
• All papers were from my scrap bin except for the bird body base that was a tissue box

We went to the garden center and bought more dirt for our raised garden beds and some peppers, tomatoes, and I also picked up a lavender plant and some hanging baskets of pretty flowers.  I have wildflower seeds to plant too, thankful we have had a break in the rain to get some stuff done outdoors.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a good week!

Get well soon

 An older gentlemen in our church had to go through Chemo and Radiation and it took a big of a toll on him, he missed church and that is when you know he isn't doing well because he just doesn't miss church.

• Tim Holtz - Organic Layers Ephemera
• ODBD - Vintage Ephemera Collection papers
• Crafter's companion - sentiment die

Hope you all have a good weekend, we have a chance of rain all day today, so not much is going to be happening outdoors.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
