Garden card

 I made this card for a new neighbor that moved in across the street from me.  She has the prettiest yard in the neighborhood.  She obviously likes to garden (unlike me)

  I know that not everyone likes to mail cards these days.  Can't blame them with the high cost of postage.  But I decided to make her a box of my home made cards to welcome her to the neighbor hood.  I told her if she didn't send cards she could always gift them to someone else.  

She seemed to love her cards.   To my surprise about a week later I received an invitation from her to come to her house for a tea party for me and another friend in my neighborhood. What a nice time we had.  She had the most delicious treats for us, and made us really feel welcome.

Since This happened a few months ago and I may have previously posted some of the cards I gave her... I may have mentioned this before.  Now I am working on trying to get a neighborhood tea party together to thank her.

Thanks for stopping by today...

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Blessings, Jill

Two Months Later

 It's been so long since I posted a card...

That I almost forgot how to do it...

This is a birthday card that I sent (a while ago) to a blogging friend.  I think I stamped the image from a stamp in one of my magazines.  I used copics to color the image.

This is the longest break I have made in posting since 2009.

Hopefully, I will be able to post more.  Time just seems to fly away.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Lattice card

 I loved seeing all the lattice cards on the internet!  I had to give it a try !

It's a card that can be made rather quickly!  there's a lot of great videos on the net showing you how to do this.  I made this card even quicker by using some sun flower stickers (that I had in my stash for a very LONG time)  I thought that is was way over do for me to use them.

Hope you are having a great weekend

Blessings,

Jill.

My friend's Birthday card!

 I made this card for a dear long time friend of mine.

It's a bit late because she was going to come to my house to visit...and we still haven't managed to get together  yet.

Many years ago, we were next door neighbors and we would see each other almost every day.  You can probably guess by this card that my friend is a quilter!  A very good one!  We sued to get together and craft together.  It was NOT making cards though.  It was for crocheting and knitting.  If fact she knitted me an afghan That I still have laying on top of one of my chairs.

As I am typing this post...it's reminding to give her another call and try again for another get together.

Thank you for visiting my blog today,

My Granddaughter's birthday card

 This is the birthday card I made for my granddaughter's birthday!

I gave it to her soon after I finished making it...so I didn't take enough time to get a better photo of it.

The stamp I used to make this card is from Hero Arts and called "The sky is the Limit.

I used copics to color this card... (hubby colored the Yellow balloon for me) I sponged the back ground and fussy cut the images. The clouds were cut out with a die from  Sweet and Sassy stamps!

And Yes, she has been up in a hot air balloon!  She is much braver than her grandmother!

Thank Your for visiting my blog today.

Happy Trails

 I made this sympathy  card for a very close family member of mine.  We kind of grew up together. He felt like a brother to me.

He loved horses and watching cowboy shows and playing cowboys.  He was one of the nicest people I know and always made me laugh.  I thought this card would fit him perfectly.

The inside reads  "Until We meet again!"

The card was made using fabric!

 My husband colored this image for me with copics...

All I had to do was make it into a card.  I die cut a frame.

I gave this card to the lady that had been my mother's best friend for many years.

She loved the card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Happy Father's Day

 Now that I have given this card to my hubby...   I can post it!

The shed was made using an embossing folder from Hunkydory!

I tried to make it look somewhat like my hubby's shed in our yard!

The lawnmower is also made using a stamp from Hunkydory.

I think my hubby had a nice day visiting with our daughter.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
