More Sunshine

One thing we have had a lot of lately is Sunshine (along with heat!)

I was trying to make some sunshine themed cards so I could have one to go along
with the Sunshine box I recently made...

One of my neighbors who used to come to craft night...has managed to come over to my house again for craft night.   I made up some sample cards for her to see if she wanted to try one.  She liked my sunshine card...So, I made up a kit for her to make this card when she comes over again to craft night.

My sunshine die and cloud die is from SweetNSassy,  Both my fence die and bird die are from Impression Obsession,

"May sunshine and loving thoughts carry you through your day!

Sunshine Box!

I made a sunshine box for a neighbor of ours who just completed her first round of Chemo...

I've made Sunshine boxes before, but for this one I managed to get some of my inspiration from Pinterest.  

Things I put in the box...
Bottle of Water
Box of facial Tissues
Hand soap
Lemon drops
Chap stick
Box of Lipton Tea bags
Two activity books, bookmark
Socks
Teddy Bear
Gift cards
And a bracelet that I made

and I made a Gift Ball using Yarn
You wrap assorted small gifts within
the yarn,   Then it gets unwrapped  for surprise gifts...

and you cannot see the shadow."

Card made for a friend...

I can't believe that another month has zipped by...

I made this card for a friend of mine named, Iris...

Click on the image to enlarge

 

 The card was made using a Penny Black (Slapstick/Cling) stamp
I stamped the image with Versamark, and then Heat embossed with white embossing powder
And since I stamped white on white...(kind of hard to see...)
I then used a magnifier 
To color the image with copics...
I added gold embossing powder for the center of the flower.
added a ribbon, and used Stamping Up designer paper for the background!

Today is my grandson's birthday...

 I can't believe that it has been more than 20 years or so since I took the above picture of him.
It's my all time favorite pic...and he is still a big baseball fan!  Smile

I found the above shirt in my cedar chest, and I want to show it to my grandson
I'm not sure if he ever saw this or not...

But this is how my daughter and son-in-law chose to tell me about that big upcoming
event in my life.  If you look at the date...you will see that my grandson arrived a bit early...

My daughter used fabric paint to make this...and put it in a box for me to
open on Christmas eve.   And yes, I wore the shirt!!!!   
(It certainly would NOT fit me anymore...smile...

Children are the rainbow of life...
Grandchildren are the POT of GOLD!
