Drunk Squirrel?

Good day!

I wasn't going to post again until tomorrow, but I have a funny picture I'd like to share with you!

The other day I spotted this little dude on our deck! Doesn't he look like he's had a bit much to drink?!?! As if he's hanging onto the railing for dear life waiting for everything to stop spinning?!?! ;) Actually, it's been quite hot in North Carolina these days and I think he was just chillin' out!

 

Funny squirrel!

Have a great day...and stay cool!

Raisin Bread

Hey Bloggers!

I'm popping in for a scrapbook page share before I run some errands, dull errands, like the post office. One of those things I don't enjoy, but has to be done. Do you try to make boring tasks more fun? Or tell yourself you are fortunate to have such normal everyday problems? I do! Sometimes I'll grab an ice cream cone or a sandwich at my favorite deli as a treat to make my errands more fun. Anyway....just a little rambling here! ;)

This page is about my husband making raisin bread with a bread machine I got him for Christmas in 1997. The machine was on leave of duty for a number of years, but we've pulled it back out and use it a couple times a week. I'm happy we didn't part with the machine because we're really enjoying it now.

For this page I dug into my stash mountain of pattern paper and pulled out the Kraft background from My Mind's Eye and the green polka dot paper from Crate Paper.

Here we have loads of stitching and the use of my fave tools...decorative scissors, border punches and die cuts.

I also added a couple tiny phrase stamps from Papertrey Ink. I really like this page...such great memories we'll have to look back on!

Well, those exciting errands are calling! ;) Whatever it is you are doing today, enjoy, even if it's the post office, dentist, or grocery store! :) Kathy

Independence Day

Hello!

Happy July 4th to you all!

Perfect for your July Fourth projects and my card here is the new 'Sweet Liberty' digital kit by Dianne Rigdon, on sale now at Two Peas in a Bucket!

I went a little crazy with the stitching, inking and layering here, but the results are worth it I think!

I used some old Quickutz dies, like this tab folder and an old Sizzix die to make the stars. I even threw in a Spellbinders die cut circle and a Fiskars scalloped border. Love my tools...these are definitely my go-to items! Oh and Kraft stock from Bazzill Basics!

Well, I'm going to go make some homemade ice cream. Hope you and yours enjoys a patriotic Fourth of July! :) Kathy

Thanks

Hello!

I hope all of you in the U.S. are enjoying a lovely Fourth of July weekend! I've been enjoying some crafting, gardening and a lazy cat nap! My kind of day! :)

I'm popping in to share a card with you. It's a hybrid card made with an adorable kit from Holly Brooke Jones called 'Perfect Summer Day' digital stickers.

Lately I've been doing a lot of vintage style cards with lots of details so I thought it would be refreshing to do a simpler, clean looking card like I used to do. I really like tone on tone too.

This is just one of the sweet digital stickers in Holly's kit...so you must check it out! Can you tell I'm a big fan of Holly's kits! ;)

Well, I'll pop back in on Monday, July 4th...I have a holiday card for you to enjoy!

Kathy :)
