A Fall Birthday Card


Dude Time Doodles is sponsoring Pile It On - Challenge 44 For the Birthday Boy this week so I just had to participate! I have been looking for a fun reason to use Leif Blower. Leaves are everywhere around here this weekend as the wind has been crazy. Good thing my DH has a tractor with a rake and a brand new leaf blower. He pointed out that his leaf blower is red and not gray like on my card, but I told him that red didn't go with the Fall colors I picked out for my card. I used the Seems a Little Sketchy Sketch for my card because it is such a fun one. My daughter told me it doesn't look like a birthday card on the front, but birthday presents make a great harvest! I know this because I am harvesting them now (my birthday is Thursday) - today I got a Press and Seal from my youngest daughter - I have been playing with it and it works great.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Pile It On - #44 For the Birthday Boy
Seems a Little Sketchy - Sketch #24
Digistamps4Joy Challenge #53 - Anything Goes With a Male

Hope you all have had a great weekend and those in the path of Sandy are staying safe! I stayed in Jammertown today and have had two naps - what a great day!

    That time of year is quicly approaching - raking LOTS of maple leaves - so I giggled when I saw the card. Fabulously coloured and loving that polka dotted paper in the BG!

    Fabulous birthday card! Love the stitching around the sides too and the flower. After your hubby finishes up at your house, you can send him on up here. :-)

    That leaf blower reminds me of my hubby. He has a lot to blow every time he cuts the grass. Of course, that time is just about over. Leaves are everywhere now. I think I'll just about freeze tonight doing Halloween. Yes, it is still so windy.
    Great card. Happy 'soon to be' birthday.

    How cute. Just think years ago we had to do so much raking and no blowing...lol The leaves don't fall around here until Christmas believe it or not. From Christmas until about March we have lots of leaves. Great masculine card and love the colors.
    Bear hugs,Carol

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
