Happy Father's Day

Hi!

I hope you all have had an amazing weekend and Father's Day! We've been enjoying a relaxing day! I made Dan breakfast, a card and oatmeal raisin cookies. What else is there, right? Life is certainly good! :)

Here's the Father's Day card I made.

Dan really likes it! The fabulous bicycle is from a new digital kit at Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Bicycle Ride' by Shelley Castillo. The kit has five different bicycle silhouettes that are oh so fun!

I printed the bicycle right on top of some map paper from another digital kit I got recently called 'Discovery' by Dianne Rigdon. I love this paper and knew I'd want to use it again soon!

This card was pretty simple, I just added a couple brads to the bicycle wheels and a sentiment banner.

You're Out of This World

Hi!

How's your weekend going so far? Hope it's been a good one. Yesterday I went to our local flea market and it turned out to be much more than a flea market! There was a little fair going on, a farmer's market and an expo. I don't even know the half of it, except that it was incredibly busy! And people were not in a good mood in the parking lot! lol!

Well, I really enjoyed my flea market treasure hunt and found a really cool little 1940 Kenmore blender. The motor of this little gadget is housed in the lid and you attach it to a Glassbake container and plug it it. No switches, no speeds, just plug it in and it starts whirling away! It's funny that it only holds three cups! Great little treasure! I'll be adding it to my vintage shop on Etsy this week if you're interested in seeing what it looks like.

Anyway, I have a card share for you today. I always get a little giddy when I create a masculine card that's half way decent looking since I don't do very many of them. Ask my hubby, he gets cards with flowers bows and ruffles all the time!

This is a hybrid card I put together with a new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Discovery'

by Polka Dot Pixels.

This awesome background patterned paper and map accent are just a sampling of the Discovery kit. I inked the edges of both to get the distressed look.

A little hand stitching, a sentiment, a Making Memories metal embellishment and the jute and seam binding were added. That's it! Easy!

This morning I'm working on a scrapbook page. An everyday type of page. It's fun playing...so relaxing. I can't wait to share it with you. Hope you have a lovely Sunday! Kathy

Rock Garden

T.G.I.F!

It's shaping up to be a glorious day! We've had such a wonderful spring this year. Throughout April and May the weather has been just lovely. Not like some years when we've skipped over spring and headed straight into summer's hot temperatures. That will happen next week when the forecast calls for 90s!

Well, I have a fun scrapbook page to share with you today. Recently our son created a project that required the use of his dumptruck. He loves to push that truck around, ever since he got it for his fifth birthday five years ago! He'll help his dad by carting away trimmings and he takes away a load of weeds for me! He decided that his dump truck needed to haul large rocks from the back yard to the front and created what looks to me like a rock garden.

This is actually a hybrid page. The papers and some of the accents are from a fabulous new digital kit at Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Discovery'

by Dianne Rigdon.

I LOVE this map paper and the numerous phrases included in this kit!

These awesome corrugated title letters are from Jillibean Soup

, the border punch is from EK Success and the gray letter stickers are American Crafts.

I used the Silhouette

to cut out these pretty butterflies and added the must have hand stitching. I love the way this page turned out...the soft colors are so pretty!

Well, I'm off to play some more with paper and glue! I hope you have a terrific weekend! Lots of graduations and fun things going on! Enjoy! :) Kathy
