Hello, Hope you are doing well on this Monday. I totally forgot to get this card posted yesterday. So I'm a day late. Can't believe that I forgot. Today's card is for Father's day and was created with the set High Tide from Stampin Up.
I have only used this set one or two times before. I think the last time that I used it was for a card for my Dad. He is now passed on. When making this it brought back memories of him.
This Card would be nice for a Birthday, Father's Day or a just thinking of you.
Here Is the list of products used to make this card-
Stamp Sets- S.U. High Tide and Well Scripted
Cardstock- Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Ink- Cherry Cobbler, Buckaroo Blue, Soft Sky, Summer Sun, Always Artichoke and Memento Black
Since it's Father's day,well the day after. I thought I would share a recipe that my husband enjoys. It's Corned Beef Patties, My grandson really likes them too. I personally haven't tried them because I'm a vegetarian.
Corned Beef Patties
Ingredients needed-
1 can of Corned Beef
2 large peeled and cooked potatoes (2 cups)
1 lg. egg
1 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbs.onion powder. (can also use real diced onion)
For coating patties- 1/4 flour and 1/2 tsp pepper
After the potatoes are done, cut them into small cubes and place in measuring cup to get at least 2 cups.
In bowl add corned Beef and cut up using a fork. Then add other ingredients and mix.
Heat 1/3 cup of oil in skillet on medium heat
In shallow bowl mix 1/4 cup of flour and 1/2 tsp pepper together.
Dust hands with flour and shape into ball.Roll ball in flour and then flatten into a 3 inch patty.
Cook until golden brown 3 or 4 minutes on each side.
Place patties on plate lined with paper towels.
(I serve this with a fried egg on top of the patty.)
That's all from me, Glad you stopped by. Please leave a comment so that I can visit your blog.
Hello, Haven't had a card share for awhile. So I finally got a card made to share with you all. I needed a thank you card and decided to make another napkin card.
Have you ever made a napkin card? Love how quick they are to make. The only thing I added to this one is a yellow ribbon.
With the words already on the napkin, I decided to not add a sentiment to the front.
Thanks for stopping by, Hope you can make it back. I will be sharing a Father's Day card soon.
Have a wonderful day, Stay crafty my friends!

Hello, glad you could stop by. Haven't posted in several days. Have been busy with other things. But I finally got to make a card.
My grandchildren's bus driver is retiring so I offered to make them a card to give her. Tomorrow is the last day of school. So I got it done just in time.
Had decided on making a pretty floral card but then changed my mind and decided on a more fun card.
The stamp set is from Art Impressions called Beach Babe's . This was my first time using this set. It was nice getting a chance to play with it.
Colored the image with alcohol markers. Used S.U. Creamy Carmel Ink with a sponge to create the sand.
The Time to Relax sentiment was created in Design Space and then printed out.
Added a few rows of Blue and white baker's twine and you can't tell but I added some Wink of Stella to the glass and her ring.
Hoping this card brings a smile to her. She has been their only bus driver. I can still remember the first time that they got on the bus for their firsts days of Kindergarten. I always felt that they were safe and in good care with her.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to stop back by.

Hello, So glad you could stop by. Tomorrow is Mother's Day so I wanted to share with you the card that I made for my Mom.
This card was made using a napkin. I had received it in some happy mail and I thought it would make a nice Mother's Day card.
Cut the Mom out on my Cricut and used the offset feature to add a border behind the sentiment in vellum.
I know that you can't see it but I added Wink of Stella to the Mom, parts of the eggs and to the centers of the flowers.
Cardstock used is from Stampin Up and added a blue sheer ribbon.
Also wanted to share a recipe with you. This one is for Lemon Meringue pie. I hadn't made this for several years and decided to make one for Easter.
It's my Grand daughter's favorite pie. She was so excited to see that I had made one.
After Easter I decided that I would make another one so that she could help and learn how to make them. We had a good time and the pie turned out delicious.
Do you have a favorite pie? It's hard for me to choose one, My top favorites are pecan, chocolate chess pie, Lemon and coconut.
So here is the recipe if you would like to try it.
Lemon Meringue Pie
Ingredients needed
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cup water
3 egg yolks- lightly beaten
3 tbs. butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
Prebaked pie shell
Meringue Topping
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter -can substitute w/ 1 tsp lemon juice
6 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Get all ingredients ready, that includes prebaking the pie shell. In bowl mix sugar and cornstarch, pour into medium saucepan. slowly stir in water. Cook on medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. (Stir constantly) and boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and slowly add about half the mixture in bowl with egg yolks. Return mixture back into saucepan.
Bring back to boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter.Pour into pre
baked pie shell. Oven should be set on 400 degrees.
For meringue, With mixer,beat egg whites and cream of tarter or lemon juice if you are substituting until white and frothy.
Very slowly add in sugar.beat constantly. (easier with stand up mixer). Continue beating until white and stiff peaks form. When you have stiff peaks add vanilla,beat until mixed in.
Pile meringue onto pie, the meringue needs to go all the way to the crust so the edges are sealed.
Make swirls for decorative top.
Bake pie at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes. You want meringue to start to brown. Let cool before cutting.

Hello and welcome, Hope your enjoying this beautiful day. For today I have an Easel Calendar Card to share with you.
Since I had a few sets of little calender's I decided that I would use one and make a calendar/ card for my sister's birthday.
Started the calendar with May, her birthday month and stamped a little heart on her special day.
I used the bird from the Friendly Hello stamp set and also use the Friendly Hello Designer Series paper. (Love It so much)
I colored the bird in two shades of yellow alcohol markers. Colored the flowers in two shades of lavender markers and the branch and leaves in two shades of green. Added Wink of Stella to the center of the flowers.
Used Old Olive cardstock for the Easel and stamped the Birch Background stamp from Stampin Up on the front and the back.
I didn't like the silver colored staples so I opened up the stapler and colored a few of them with a lavender alcohol marker. Since the lavender was so light you can barely tell but I was happy that it worked.
I picked up the calendar at the Dollar Tree. Thought it needed a little something else so I added a yellow ribbon.
Now if I can just keep my sister from visiting my blog until after her birthday. Going to have to tell her no peeking.
Hope you have a great day and thank you for taking the time to visit.
Stay Safe & Stay Crafty my Friends!

Hello and welcome, The weather is really warming up.79 degrees right now. Suppose to get in the 80s tomorrow.
So awhile back I was house sitting for my sister and her husband while they went on a road trip.
So while I was there I hung out in her craftroom. I came across an older Stampin Up set that had never been used called Painted Posies from Stampin Up. It's a wooden block set that the rubber had never been mounted on to the block.
Well I brought it home and cut the rubber and got it mounted. Do any of you remember when you had to cut the rubber stamp and then mount it on the wooden block? I don't miss that at all.
So here is my card that I made.
After I stamped the two step flowers and leaves, I used a set called Itty Bitty Backgrounds around the flowers. I really didn't know what I wanted to do after that. So I stamped a script stamp in grey. It's a stamp from the U.K. The company is called Crafty Individuals.
I then stamped a Beautiful You Image on a scalloped oval that I found in my stash. I stamped thank you over the image. That is from a set called What I Love.
I knew that it needed something else so I added some lavender ribbon. I think that helped a lot. Ribbon always makes things better.
So that's my card for today. Glad I brought the stamp with me and made something with it. I may try to make another card with it before I give it back to my sister.
Also wanted to share with you that I was one of three winners from a giveaway from Arrtx. The giveaway was for their new set of 72 colored pencils. I am sooo excited. I have been wanting to get some. I have never tried colored pencils before. I have a lot to learn.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day and stay safe!
