Joining the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop

“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice 

for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.”

– Jeff Miller

This weekend has been busy.  I worked out (on-line), cleaned the house, took the dogs for long walks, visited my dad, and had a social distanced coffee date with a girl friend.  Earlier during the week I saw the Coffee Lover's Summer Blog Hop and knew I had to find time to make a card to join in.

I paper pieced the cute coffee cut from Graciellie Design Coffee Lover's digital stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog!  Stay safe and healthy!

You Are My Sunshine

Hello!  The weather here in Wisconsin is pretty cold and dreary today so I thought it would be the perfect day to share a happy card.

I love sunflowers.  They always seem to make me smile.  When I saw the Summer Sunflowers digital stamp set at Graciellie Designs Shop, I had to buy it.  This is my first card using the set but I know I'll use it many more times.

For my card, I colored the sunflower with  Copic markers and fussy cut it out.  The sentiment also came from the digital stamp kit.  I found a clear plastic bracket when I was cleaning out my craft room a couple of weeks ago so I colored it with my Copics to coordinate with the designer paper I had picked out.  The card doesn't have has many layers as I usually use, but I like how it came out.


I hope you have a fabulous, sunny day.  Stay safe!

Christmas Teddy

Hello!  I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.  The weather here was rainy and cold so I was able to spend some time in my craft room.

I have a couple of Christmas cards to share today.  This cute little bear was fun to color.  I purchased him from LOTV Digi Shop on Etsy the last time there was a sale. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great day and stay safe!
