Harley Davidson

Hello!! Sorry for the lack of posting this week. It has been busy and crazy. I have done a few projects but haven't got them ready for posting yet.

Well onto this card. My husband's birthday is on Monday but we are celebrating it tomorrow (Saturday). Couple of our kids will be over with their families and I am going to fix a dinner for all of us.

This is a pretty simple and basic card. I used PTI Orange Zest and True Black and Stamper's Select white. The ribbon is also PTI. I used my Label One nestabilities for the emblem. The border punch is from EK Success.

I bought this Harley Davidson stamp set a while back when I was in Wisconsin visiting my daughter and her family. I told my son-in-law that while I was there I wanted to go to a Harley shop well he took me to a couple. One he took me to had a museum and the owner had several oldie but goodie cars in excellent condition. He also had a part of the shop with some pretty neat animals, would you believe the were even crocodiles. At first I didn't think they were real since they didn't even move or blink their eyes.

Hope you have a great evening and weekend. Thank you for stopping by, Liz

Miss Posey

Hello!! Well I finally purchased some stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and just recently received them. They are so cute. I just had to ink this little lady up. I had so much fun with her. I first chose some pattern paper that i just recently purchased and took my colors from that.


It is a gloomy and dreary day here. Overcast and just a day you want to cuddle up with a good book or get in the craft room and get a few things done. I know I just want to work on some projects that I have been needing to get done. I will be doing that here shortly after I get done typing this post.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a good one!

Navajo Anya

Good Morning everyone! How is your week so far? I have been trying to get a few things done that I have been putting off.

Over at Moxie Fab World, Cath is having a challenge to use Plum. I thought of my Plum Pudding CS from Papertrey Ink. I have inked this little cutie up since I bought her. The PP is also Papertrey. I picked the paper and went with colors in it to color Anya from The Greeting Farm. I used my deckled nestabilities to cut her out. I used a Martha Stewart loop punch on each end to make it look like fringe on a rug. When I showed it to my husband that is the first thing he said before I even said that is what I was hoping it would look like. The buttons are PTI vintage buttons and I used embroidery thread in matching colors.

That is about it for me today! Have a wonderful one!

Thank your for stopping by,

Whimsy Challenge

It's Monday and we know what that means it is time for another Whimsy Challenge. This week's challenge is to use watercoloring on your card. This moose image I thought would be a perfect image for that. I also chose this image and use the challenge myself to make a Birthday card for our son-in-law. His birthday was this past Saturday. He is in the military and also marched in a Veteran's Day Parade. He is a hunter and while the family was stationed in Alaska he shot a moose and had it mounted so it is hainging in their living room. He asked if I was going to put it on my blog, so here it is. J, I hoped you had a great birthday and we are glad that we were able to celebrate with you.
The weekend just went by so fast. Hope you had a wonderful one and are off to great start to your week.

Thank you for stopping by,
Liz

You Caught Me..

Hello everyone. How is everyone today? My husband has a short week at work this week, he gets off early tonight and then is off until Monday. Long weekend is always nice but it is bad on the paycheck. His work has been effected with this mandatory days and time off. At least it hasn't been too bad and is only once in awhile. The upside is that we get to spend more time together. It is going to be a busy weekend this weekend. On Saturday our son-in-law is in a parade (he is in the military) so we are going to try and get to that and then spend the rest of day with the family for a get together since it is also his birthday. I still need to make him a card but I am working on it still.

On to my card for today. I bought this cute image from Whimsy Stamps a little while back and just now finally getting it inked up. I just love images that I can use my copics with. On the water I used my white smooch to give it a little shimmer. The tag I stamped my sentiment on Poly Shrink and used a quarter inch hole punch for the opening then used my heat gun to shrink it. Over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps their challenge is to use a tag on your creation. I don't have any of their stamps yet but I have ordered some and waiting for them to get here.

Have a wonderful day,
Thanks for stopping by today,

Halloween Night....

I don't have anything crafty today but I would like to share our night with the Grandkids on Halloween. It was a fun night. It has been quite sometime since my husband hasn't had to work so we wanted to spend the night with the grandkids. It was a great night, so fun seeing all of the excitement and their costumes.

This first picture was of a yard in the neighorhood. It had some cute sayings on each of the tombstones. They were so funny.

Here are 3 of our grandkids. It was so hard to get all of them together because the boys don't really care to have their picture taken. But we were able to coax them to get this one. Look at those reflective arm bands they even glowed with just the flash of the camera.

This last picture is of our oldest granddaughter. She will always pose for a picture.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures as much as I enjoyed sharing them.

Have a wonderful day and I hope to have something to share with you tomorrow.
