Old Fashioned Apples

This card is for my Dad.  He likes to tell stories of when he was little.  As I am sure most parents do.  His mom lived next to an apple orchard when he was little.  He worked for the farmer boxing up his apples.  Naturally, helping himself to all the apples he could eat.
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderfully creative day!

Big Mean Fishy

I was just messing around day with my quill stuff.  Jason looked through my book, and said I should make ALL the ocean things for him.  Well, I will have to do that a little at a time.  But I started with this mean looking fishy!  It's for my babe's happy birthday today!  

It's kind of cute though. 

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!

Soaring High

I made this card with a lot of love.  It's for my nephew.  He's had some struggles.  He's wanted to give up on himself, because he thought everyone else had.  He held strong though and I am very proud of him.  Happy Birthday!  I love you!

Gettin' Lucky

This is for Jason's dad.  Hilarious.  I pulled this stamp set out the other day, and made a few cards with it.  I've missed seeing this set.  The paper is some I've laying around for a long time.  It's one of those "I'll save it for a special project"  well I guess this is it.  :)  Thanks for stopping by, hope you have an incredible day!

Wrestlers

Oh Brady, I love this kid.  And he loves my pancakes!  I've known him and his family for such a long time.  I started tending him when he was barely 2 years old.  Him and his sister captured my heart immediately.  He loves wrestling, so I made this card for him.  I miss  having them in my daycare.  But, they are really growing up to amazing people, they make me so proud to be called aunt Sharon!

Colts Football Card

My son's birthday is today.  I made this card and a cake to match..... stay tuned.  He's liked the Colts for many years, and was devastated when they lost Manning.  

I realize he's 19 this year, and probably doesn't need a theme party.  

Oh what am I saying, everyone loves to be spoiled at least once a year.  

As long as I am able I will be that person, 

that spoils them for their birthday, at least with a cake!

Cowboys Football Card

Hi, It is my Nephews 17 Birthday, holy cow.  I can't believe how old I am ~ I mean he is getting.  Where is the time going?  I am happy to be celebrating his birthday with him.  He's been working so much lately no one sees much of him anymore.  That's what happens when we grow up and become responsible.  Happy Birthday Colton!  LOVE YOU!

I always struggle with masculine cards. I've bought a couple sets specifically for the men in my life. Even with that I tend to add pink or something frilly. ~silly girl This one is for my dad. Today is his 82nd birthday. We usually a big bbq for my dad, brother, sister, and me. We are Leo's. So it's a Leo's bash. You can imagine lions in the wild, that's us -we are either full and lounging, or we are roarin' . I love you dad have a wonderful Birthday!

I cheated this year..... I made the same card for my dad and Jason's dad. It's ok, I forgive myself.  I've been busy, watching kids, and making cakes. 

 

Fishy for my Love

We just got back from a weekend in the sun at Lake Powell. We caught a lot of stripers. Perhaps that is where the inspiration for this card came from. This card is for my love, I hope he has an amazing day, and I am very grateful to be spending it with him. I love you babe, Happy Birthday.

Birthday Buck

I love these glitterized cards. They are very fun to make, and so pretty to look at! I made this one for Jason's dad, Mike. I hope I got in the mail in enough time so he got it for his Birthday.  If not, I guess a little late is better than not at all. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great day!
