Black and White Deer Card

 Hello, Hope your having a nice Monday so far. The weather Is  nice today. I wish summer was like this every day. I can't stand the heat and humidity. I do think they are calling for rain for most of the week. Heaviest on Wednesday. Need to try and get some yard work done later.

On my last post I shared a Guitar shaped Father's day card with you. 

I have another Father's day card to share with you today.

Now this one came together a lot faster than the guitar card. For this one I used the Nature Silhouettes stamp from Stampin Up. It's a retired stamp. 

 I also used the Hardwood background stamp from S.U.  I think It may have retired to. I'm not sure though.

The sentiment is from a set of small stamps that I received as a Christmas present several years ago. 

I rarely make black and white cards but I think the black and white works well with the deer stamp.

I thank you for stopping by. Hoping you have beautiful week.

Guitar Shaped Father's Day Card & Smore's Brownies

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Glad you could stop by. Yesterday we went to my family reunion.  (My Dad's side) It's an all weekend camping event that we have every year. But my husband and I didn't go camping. We just went to the dinner. So nice to see everyone. Well actually there was a lot that didn't show up. Shame on you all. (You know who you are). Ha!

I made Smore's Brownies. They were really good. I will have a recipe for how I made them at the end of this post.

Since we are now In the month of June already. Can you all believe that? I can't. Anyway since It is June we have to start thinking of Father's Day coming up. 

A family member had ask me to make a Father's Day Card and that they wanted It to be a guitar. So here Is the final card.

  Made the guitar using the Cricut Cartridge Paper Dolls for Every day. 

I stamped with the weathered background stamp from Stampin Up on Kraft card stock to make it look like a woodgrain and sponged around the edges. Used Close to Cocoa Ink.

Used real thin wire for the cords and stamped Happy Father's Day on a tag. Also added brads and some Jute Twine.

I think It's a fun card and like how It turned out. 

Now on to the recipe.... 

 Smore's Brownies

2 boxe's of Dark Chocolate Betty Crocker Brownie Mixes
(Or any kind you like)

Make brownies like the box says In a 9x13 pan. When you take It out of oven start your broiler. 

Drizzled some caramel on top. (That Is optional) I did because I had some in the fridge and thought why not. 

Put some Graham Crackers in a sandwich bag and crush them with a rolling pen or be like me and use a tall mason Jar. 

Sprinkle a thin layer on top of brownies. Then add at least 2 cups of little marshmallows. I used a little more. You want enough to cover the top completely.

Break up some Graham Crackers place on top of marshmallows and then add broken up pieces of little Hershey's candy bars.

Place back in oven that is on the broil setting and watch it until It has browned the marshmallow. Don't walk away from It. They will burn.

That's It, Hope you try them. They are really good and really easy. Everyone that got some said they really liked them. I even got a couple of thumbs up.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know If you make the Smore's Brownies. Have a super day and God bless.

Anniversary Card

 One of my sister's was In need of a Anniversary Card for a friend and ask me If I could make her one. 

I had told her that I probably wouldn't be able to find the time. But I knew that I would. So surprised her with this. 

 This was my first time using the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. I love It. I have always wanted tin tiles for my kitchen ceiling. Love the look of them. 

  Planning on making several cards this month. But I do have a surgery coming up sometime. So not sure yet how much I will get to create. Hope you can make It back and please leave a comment so that I can come visit your blog. Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Day to You!!!

Happy Mother's Day Card

 Today is Mother's Day. Pretty Chilly this morning, Have my warm cup of coffee. They are calling for spotty rain. At least it's not suppose to rain all day. Wanted to share with you the card that I made my Mom for Mother's Day.

So here Is the card that I made for her. 

I really enjoyed making this card and love the paper I used from a paper pack I had. thought It went perfect with this card.

My coloring on the bird Isn't the best. My aqua painter has about had It. You can tell It made brush stroke marks on It. But thought It kind of worked on the bird. Made It look a little like feather's.
I used an acrylic block and added Ink and a touch of alcohol. Then used my aqua brush to paint It on. No water in the brush. I stamped the bird on shimmer paper


 I will be leaving soon for Church, when I get home I will be making a lemon cake and some pasta salad. Having a pitch In Supper at my Mom's later. 

Thank you all for stopping by, hope you enjoyed seeing my card.

To all you Mom's out there, Happy Mother's Day!  Happy Day to you all and God bless!
