So I will just get to it ~ I have 3 cards to share today ...
#1 is a card to carry a picture to a friend. I love this image, I think it is my last copy of it too.
I will miss sending these . I decided to not add a sentiment, tho I almost put COOL RIDE... or Snoop Dog's Delivery
Purple seems to be the color of choice these days, even in men ...
I added some sparkle to the chrome by using silver Stickles , and a white gel pen on the flames and Snoopy , that gave it some dimension.
And some hand doodling on the edges.with basic layers .
I need to make this card large enough to hold a 4 x 6 picture so it is 41/2 x 6 1/2
and here ya go
#2. is a birthday card for my oldest brother... I thought a napping bear was appropriate : )
I stayed with traditional colors for the sunflowers and a bright pattern paper to set the image up.
I colored with colored pencils and used a blender pen...Oh I added BIG BROTHER BEAR across the top in my hand writing
I used a SU dp that I love, mounted it on white card base then I added some bling and a flower
and a butterfly... I filled the card with puppy kisses from Miss Daisy and hugs from me ...We sure miss her a lot ...
Hope she likes it !
So I am now making a list of what cards I need real soon
I know I need a birthday card for a dear friend and anniversary cards for both of my brothers ~ all before next week ~ busy busy
I hope you are enjoying your summer, there is some beautiful sunshine in mine and a lot of ball games along with watching my youngest grand daughter grow up way to fast...But she is so much fun ...
Maybe I will do an update of pictures, or should I just get that family blog up and running?????
As always, thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your iced tea and my kitties. I know they were glad to have company too : )
Take care, Smile and share your happiness , there is some one out there that can use it !
bye now ...

I can't believe its almost July, summer I'd flying by for me.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards!
thank you
DeleteAll three cards are fabulous! Of course, I love the purple ones. ;) The Snoopy card is just too cute. Love the image.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie ... yes PURPLE is an IN color for sure
Deleteand I love this image too, I am looking for the stamp
Loved reading your post! The cards are wonderful!! I love them all. I especially love the napping bear. I think just combine the family pics on this blog. Two blogs would be a lot of work. LOL Take care!
ReplyDeleteWell updating the blog does not take the time or is not hard work...lol
ReplyDeleteit is the actually making of cards that hangs me up lol
I do take a lot of pictures, grand kids , pets and God's beauty... so not sure about mixing it in with crafting...
but thanks for your input so glad you enjoy my blog ! thanks
Sonja, these are wonderful. So sorry no more Snoopy motocycle images though. :( Maybe God will bless you with some at some point. That card for your brother is my favorite, but you know I'm partial to bears, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou could always try to do two blogs, then if it doesn't work, go with one here. Your blog title works with it, it says to me "this is my life, welcome, have a seat and enjoy a lemonade while we chat about it all.
Thanks again for all the inspiration, dear friend.

If I do 2 blogs I think this one will remain family life and pic and I will change the craft one tho a sweet friend named my craft area at the old house, so that would be hard to give up : )
Deletebut I could do Daisy's and grand kids make me smile for the family blog:) Daisy hint hint my lil doggie
