I am on a Roll at the Farm

With the weather being beautiful, in the 70-80 degree range, I guess I have farm stuff on the brain! We have chickens and cows so these were right down my alley. I should have put a dog stealing an egg since one of our dogs (or both) seem to have found out where the hens are laying.  Their coats seem to be much healthier with all the protein they are consuming.  I have been having a blast playing with all the farm sets I have so I decided I would post all three cards in one post.  I used the  A2 Card in a box#2 from The Stamp Doctor for this happy birthday card box, the stamp set is From the Herd by La-La Land Crafts.  The second card is also using From the Herd by La-la Land Crafts.
On the third card I used Best of Cluck from Sugar Pea Designs.  This one reminded me of the dogs because of the little cracked egg. It "cracked" me up.  Hope you enjoyed these farm cards as much as I did making them! Sunshine to you all!

Oh Buoy and calves!

Today started out crazy with one of our calves getting out into the property next door.  I chased him from one end of the field to the other and he finally went under the fence where the guide wire was missing.  As I was "sewing" the fence with baling wire up walks Jenn and Miss Boo.  Being the good friend she is, she jumped right in and started "sewing" too. After we finished and went our separate way, she went over and took a picture of our new bull calf born yesterday.  She got a great shot! Thanks my friend, and Boo thanks for picking up all the "bubble gum".





All the running and frustration must have inspired some creativity in me so I came in and made this card using the Ahoy, Matey! Clear Stamps from Whimsy Stamps along with my new FAVORITE Kinetic-Straight-Waves-Die also from Whimsy Stamps.  This Die set is AWESOME. It is designed to give you 5 different waves along with three cute little star fish. I felt so much better after I played....lol.

Dino-mite

I had a little time this morning before the hustle and bustle of carpooling grand kids around and decided I needed to go play with my new Dinosaur Friends clear stamp from Whimsy Stamps.  I love these adorable little guys, their expressions are just too cute and the sentiments are perfect.. I used the Tri-Fold Shutter Card Die and the Tri-Fold Shutter Card Layers #2 from The Stamp Doctor which made making this card so much easier. The layers are all pre-measured and took no time to cut out. The grass is from an Egg Carton CIB Add-On Die and I needed clouds but didn't have any handy so I used a die from the Tags#1 Stitched die set. I love the blues and greens together and the orange just made it pop. Hope you try one out, I enjoyed my therapy session making this card:).

Fun Day!

 My daughter's in-laws are in town and her mother-in-law Mary is a crafter also so Jenn agreed to give a little impromptu class on coloring with Copic markers.  She taught techniques and blending skills on these adorable images by Lee Holland. What started out to be just a few hours of playing turned into a whole day (sorry Kirk).  I can't thank Jenn enough for putting everything together, everyone's cards turned out adorable and we all had fun laughing and learning.

You can find these digitals and more on Lee's Etsy site HERE.

This little card is one I made some time ago and never posted so I thought I would share him with you, my grandson loves foxes but I never gave it to him.  Wished the sentiment said Hello, little foxy one instead.  If I remember right the fox was from a Sugar Pea collection. 

Hope you all are inspired to go create something fun!

Squirrel Knocked Out

Oh my, the cluster of golden apples fell and hit the squirrel right on the noggin!  They were not supposed to fall before I snapped the picture and I didn't notice it until I was editing the picture. Oh well, that is a little squirrel that comes in the No-See All Season Tree Die from Whimsey Stamps.  I love all the accessories that come with this die set. I know it says No-See, but this one you do see because I used the Kinetic Straight Basics Die set with it..  The tree fell in the second card and the little squirrel runs back and forth on the fallen tree. This one is a No-See using the same All Seasons Tree Die set and I did use the No-See Kinetic Basics Die set with it.  I loved playing with these dies, they were so easy to use and went together pretty fast.

What's the Buzz

This bee hive from Whimsy Stamps was calling to me in blue. I love how easy it was to color, the bee's and sentiments add just the right touch. I don't know what it is about bee sets but I love them and I am not a fan of honey :)

Play Day

What a great day, I was able to have a play day with two of my most favorite friends, Jenn and Vickie.  Vickie and I fell in love with Jenn's card and she offered to help us build our own.  We used the Center Pop Out Die and the Scalloped Border Dies from The Stamp Doctor and the beautiful Sunflower Rubber Cling Stamp from Whimsey Stamps  I was amazed at how easy the sunflower is to color. Vickie and I were able to color it in no time, of course we had an excellent teacher :).

I truly enjoyed making this card and may just make another.  Thanks Jenn and Vickie for a very therapeutic day!
