Retirement duckie

I know this looks like a baby card but its really a retirement card for someone who likes duckies (not ducks!). Father Brendan retired from our parish and went back to Ireland this weekend. He will really be missed, if you looked closely he had duckies on most of his sweaters and shirts…. so i make a card with duckies for his retirement. the Tuesday morning sketch was from a few weeks ago, i liked it but was too busy to make a card then. the blessings is Stampin up and the punched ducks cut with an EK punch, don’t have the maker of the duck stamp in the oval. The background duck paper wqs in my collection.

Tuesday morning sketches birthday

I’ve loved posting my cards to the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenges (see their blinkie on the right side of my blog) because I like the sketches. Here’s my post for their first birthday, i didnt realize it till later but its their first challenge, and I didn’t realize it when i planned this but the pieces behind the sentiment look like candles, guess my subconscious is working hard. The cake is from stampin up Happy Moments and the sentiment SU’s Whimical Words – cut and embossed with spellbinder squares. Happy 1st birthday Tuesday morning sketches.

simple crab

The crab ‘ fishy friends’ (and slight watery background ) are Stampin’ up the sentiment is Stampendous, although this One Layer Wednesday challenge was suppose to be a funny, but I don’t think i have funny, so I picked friendly.

Happy birthday America

Its almost the forth of July so I have my patriotic stamps and stars of course out on the stamp table so a Penny Black red white and blue theme challenge seems about right. I bayered a red stripe on g-rated glossy linen, added stars (Stampin up) and the Penny black butterfly, America from print works print works and the star punches at the bottom Martha Stewart. Looks kind of patriotic. I almost forgot i glued blue strip under the punching so the start on the bottom would be visible. This card also is entered in the Happily ever crafter challenge. enter if you have a red white and blue entry!

Happy 4th!

Happy birthday Marsh

Cards with two folds (on both sides) are called gatefolds and I like them but don’t think of making them since i have so many already folded cards. This is for Marsh who loves dragonflies and I like My dragon fly punches better than most punches, however the grass is stamped and the cut out dragon flies put over a green frame, a blue bow and its finished.(she loved it!)
