Fluffiest Friends Card

 I wanted to make a card for Jennifer and I remembered I had purchased this cute stamp and die from SU.  I have been trying to keep my purchases down lately and use what I have in my stash but this stamp set caught my eye.  I think it is so cute with all the little animals - Fluffiest Friends.

I used craft CS for my base card and added some DSP paper on the bottom.  I don't do this design that often but I like how it turned out!  I used the little bubble bee stamp in the set to decorate my paper.  My circle is cut out with my spellbinders circle dies and the sentiment is also from this stamp set.  Love it!!  Isn't the bear so cute with his honey jar? I even found some little heart gems in my stash to add to the front.

For my inside sentiment, I used Gina K's stamp set Ridiculously Awesome.  I love this DSP so much I used some of the scraps to decorate the panel.  

I have been doing some cross stitching lately.  I can't overdue thanks to my hands, but I saw these adorable bags at FQS (Fat Quarter Shop) and got each of the girls one.  I then decided to cross stitch their initials on them.

I really liked how they turned out.  I found the letters on FQS as a free download.

I stuffed these cute tic tacs in the bags and hung little heart charms from my SU Trinket stash on the zipper pull  School is ready to start here in PA pretty soon, so Jeannie, Margaret and Jennifer went down to Cape May, NJ. for the weekend.

So guess who came for a visit?  Joey!! He is 15 years old!!  I can't believe it!  He kept us busy this weekend!  He helped Joe pick tomatoes.  I guess I will be making tomato sauce this week.

Poppy's Birthday Card

 As we move into August, we had another birthday to celebrate!  It was Joe's turn and in true fashion we all got together to celebrate his 86th birthday over the weekend!

 I decided to make him a gate fold card.  I used SU's Island Indigo CS for my base card and some DSP for the fold layers on gold CS.  I used SU's Birthday Die to cut in gold CS and layered that on the Island Indigo and gold CS as well.  

For my inside panel, I decorated it using some gold toned washi tape. I love making these gate fold cards, as they come together so quickly.

Here is Jennifer with the birthday boy!

Here is a picture of the whole crew!  Even Daisy and Joey got into the action!  It was another hot day but later in the evening Jennifer and Juan were able to go outside and ride their cars!  So much fun!
