card for my youngest grandson




Using my cricut new arrivals and beyond birthdays I made this card for my grandson who will be 3. Jr loves Thomas the train, so I made the train moving through a tunnel.
1. Stamp card stock to look like a tunnel.
2. You need to cut a strip in the lower part of the card and attach a "dot' to each train car and to a button on the other side of the dot. Put the button in the groove of the slot you cut.
3. Attach the cars with a black strip and brads.
4. Glue a strip of black paper larger than the slot to disquise the slot.

This may be my last picture of the baby robins

I went to take pictures today and all of the baby birds flew out of the nest and I was able to take a picture of George on the ground. I am not sure how long they will be around now that I know that they can fly. It is a bittersweet day.

simply seaside collection cards


These are greeting cards from my simply seaside collection. Stamped and just a touch of water color pencil.
Greeting inside as desired.

Wicked Gardener gets it from me!


This is honeysuckle. I love the smell of honeysuckle in the spring. I wish it would last all summer! This picture is dedicated to Wicked Gardener. She didn't know it but she gets her skills with photos and gardening from me :)

They are soooo Big!


I am simply amazed at the speed at which these birds are growing! This is the first time I have actually been this close to baby birds and watching them grow is awesome!
