Late Again

Sorry that has been so long since I posted.  I guess I don't have to tell anyone... That Time flies...

I made the above card for my granddaughter's birthday.  It's another 3D card.  It was  made using a 3D sheet made by Penny Wessenauer.

Another card made using a 3D sheet...  Right now we have some beautiful Blue Iris growing in our yard.

This Purple Azalea bush is no longer blooming in our yard...but I thought it was so pretty.  I wanted to get a picture of it

This is my favorite gardener in his raised garden bed.

Thank You for visiting my blog today.

Anniversary Card

 I made this card for my in-laws 4oth wedding Anniversary!

I realize I have used that 3-D flower bouquet many times...but it's a favorite of mine.  I was able to use it on cards for many different occasions.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Thank you card

 I made this quick card for my brother-in-law who  surprised me with an early birthday present.  

The image is from a Hunky dory magazine that I have.

I thought this so represented him he is an avid gardener!  He actually goes each year to almost every plant he has, and gathers up the seeds for the next year. 

I also wanted to make a quick card for the Twisted sister challenge at Split Coast stampers.  The theme for this month is "Anything" Garden"

Thank you for stopping by,

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

 After I took the photo above.. I remembered that I had something that I wanted to add to this picture.

The Ceramic Easter Basket had been made by birth Mother.  Her name and date are on the bottom.  I almost forgot that I had it.  My half sister gave it to me after my birth mother passed away.

The card was made using Iris folding. I got the pattern for the card out of book I purchased a long time ago.  "460 Iris Folded Cards to make." by Maruschan Gaasenboek & Tina Beauvester.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Blessings,

Jill

PS.  I looked this book up on line and it is still available through different sources.

 

Twisted Sister Challenge for MARCH

 I made these two cards for the twisted Sister Challenge at Split Coast Stampers for the March Challenge.

I just hope I got the challenge correct.. I understood it as I had to make my cards with the same materials. and make it a card that could be duplicated many times if you wanted to.

I don't think that is exactly what she said...but that is how I interpreted it.  As they say on the website there's no Challenge police.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend...

Hubby and I just stayed inside today...didn't need to go anywhere, and I didn't feel like getting wet.  (And the way it was raining it may have been getting VERY wet!

Here's hoping for Sunny skies for everyone.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Look at the nice gift I received toddy...

Aren't these little bunny baskets cute?

This was the gift that Carol...from 

https://ourlittleinspirations.blogspot.com/

gave to my hubby and me today.

One has Candy in it and the other has Cookies in it.

Carol, can you guess which one I chose?

The Candy one of course!

Thank you so much for the treats and the Lovely visit.

And thank you for letting me post these.

Happy St. Patrick's day

 Happy St. Patrick's day.  I'm late, as usual...

I just realized that I'm not even wearing green...

I usually try to wear green, especially (Thanks to my DNA test I took a few years ago).  I didn't realize that I was part Irish until the test. I am 17% IRISH.

My card is an Iris folded shamrock on a card folded as a gift card.

I found the cute paper at Joanne's store, and I added a charm.

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing day.

March Christmas card for Splitcoast.

 I needed to make a card for the Christmas challenge at Splitcoast stampers...     I was surprised when I checked my rubber stamps...That I couldn't find any stamps in my stash that were suitable for this challenge.  I found this image in my Graphic 45 designer papers.  It made for a quick card, I admit that basically all I did was glue and add a sticker.  The card is a little bit crooked but it honestly is not quite as crooked as this photo shows...smile.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

One of favorite foods...

 This the card I made for the January Christmas Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  You probably guessed that the theme for January is cookies.   The stamp I used was from one of my Magazines.
