Greenhouse Garden Thanks so Much

Greetings!

It has been so hot here the last couple of days.  We’re in the triple digits and it's been so hot that there have been lightning & thunder storms in the valley.  Yesterday it finally happened.  The desert area where we do a lot of fishing and hunting had sparked on fire.  The Owyhee Mountains is a gorgeous place, but high risk for fires because of the dryness and the heat.  There are still fires up there raging out of control.  Smoke is a haze all over the valley floor and access to the area has been closed off and residents have been evacuated.  It’s getting hotter and hotter, so I’m staying inside for the remainder of the day.  We have air conditioning, I’m going to enjoy it by golly!

My hubby & I picked up a mountain bike at a yard sale a few days ago, my grandson stays with us more than he’s at home and he just learned how to ride his bike.  I figure we could go for rides together AND I could get in shape, what a thought, huh?! 

Anyway, I’ve been surfing around on Pinterest, spending most of my online time there and it dawned on me that I had a few pics of my own sitting around that needed to be uploaded. 
Stamp set is SU!’s Greenhouse Garden.

Heartfelt Thanks

I like the colors in this card, they are my current favorite:  Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo.  I say current because my favorites change from day to day.

Weather has been so nice here lately, I wanted this card to have a bit of a tropical feel.  Stamp Set's used are Greenhouse Garden and Hodgepodge Happiness (note the hodgepodge hardware I used on the sentiment?)  I also used the Designer Label Punch to punch out the shape.  I love the matching stamp set's / punches!  They go together like..... Unicorns and Glitter! (any idea what commercial I got that off of?! ) 

God Bless you and thanks for stopping by!!

GreenHouse Garden - Also recognized Blog Find of the day for May 13!

Good Morning Stampers! Wow! What a beautiful morning God has blessed us with! The sun is shining, there's no wind, and it's expected to be up in the 80's today! In one of the fields beside us, I think they are growing peas, there are a bunch of quail running around in the field pecking at the seads that are on top of the ground that didn't get planted.  Hey, everyone's gotta eat, right?  ")

I thought today would be the perfect time to share 2 cards with you that I made just the other day. They are as bright & cheerful as the day is starting.  I got hit with some Mojo and have been totally inspired so I've been in such a mad rush to make cards as I don't want the inspiration to go unwasted, I didn't even want to stop long enough to take pictures, transfer them to the laptop, and upload them to the website. Anyway these two cards are made using the Greenhouse Garden stamp set and the vintage wallpaper embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

CASE -able

Here is a card that was inspired by another card I saw online. I'm not sure where I found it now. The card has no sentiments on it, so i'll be able to use it spur of the moment if there is an out of the ordinary need to give someone a card. *shrug*.

A Stamp-a-ma-jig was used for perfectly stampin the flower and Linen Thread was used to tie the button to the half circle cardstock.

Thanks for looking! Happy Stampin'!
