Third Wings of Friendship Card

Here is my 3rd card using the NEW SU hostess set "wings of friendship" showing the new ins colors from a previous post! This one I used 'Crushed curry" as the base and the bird was stamped inthe same! The large scallop background was cut with the new SU DS paper razzleberry lemonade, and the Sizzix large scallop circle. I also used a SU exclusive Sizzix die called little leaves, this little "guy" only sells for $5.50, and I use it alot! I stamped and cut the flower out , popped it up with dimentionals, add a tiny jewel for bling and a pretty satin bow.

Happy 4th of July~God Bless America

Don't you just love this trike?? It's a Unity stamp from the set Everyday Adorable, which is just that, ADORABLE!! I bought the set with my grandkids in mind for scrapbooking, but this trike reminded of when we were kids and we would put little flags on our "bikes", I remember decorating the spokes of our wheels with red, white, and blue crate paper and streamers, so fun being a kid in the 50's and 60's!

I used a cuttlebug folder to make the "waves" of a flag on SU riding hood red cs (boy am I going to miss that cs) I had bought a little stamp years ago that had 4 patriotic designs on a block, I colored the little flag with my SU markers and cut it out to mount on the trike. The "God Bless America" was stamped in gold, the ribbon is some from Michael's 4th of July line. The stars I stamped with a star from the same little block in SU Night Of Navy and Riding Hood Red.

The second photo is my dining room table display! Have a safe 4th of July Holiday!

Second in Wings of Friendship Card

Here is the second card I did using the stamped images from the new SU in colors I showed in a previous post. On this one I used Very Vanilla as the card base, and then I cuttlebugged the new "melon mambo" and also used "crushed curry"! I am liking more and more how these colors work together, and how well they work with other SU colors! I used the twill tape SU sells and stamped both colors on it for the bow. I loved how that turned out, and you get 3 sizes, 9 yards total of this twill tape for only $5.95. I can see I will be using this alot! I stamped one of the flowers from the hostess "wings of friendship" cut it out, popped it up with a dimensional and added a jewel to it for some "bling". I also added some stickles for more "bling"! I used the SU eyelet border punch for the top above the bird...mainly to cover a "booboo"!!

Wings of Friendship

Here is the first card I did using the stamped images showing the new SU in colors from a previous post. this one uses Soft Suede and Crushed Curry, and a new DS paper called RAzzleberry Lemonade! I added a little jewel for some bling in the flower center, and the brown ribbon is the last of a spool I had, yeah, I actually used something up!

I added a music player to my blog, if you don't like it, just turn your speakers down, this is new for me, as I usually don't like music on blogs, but decided to add some 4th of July music...odd pics I know, but something different, I'll change the music after the 12th! And here is what my cat "Soot" thinks of the music.....Blah!

Support Your Local Animal Shelter & Meet JO!

JO sewing the cat beds!

The pile of cat beds we stuffed!

My friend "JO" has a heart of gold! She volunteers at our local animal shelter in Cass County in Michigan for the cats. She makes "cat beds" for all the adopted cats and kitties and even some for the ones that are still residents of the "county". She had a "call out" to her friends and relatives to come and help stuff the beds, 48 of them, that she had cut and sewn and all we had to do was stuff them. We got all 48 stuffed before we left, and she still has to sew the tubes to the pillows. Now all the fleece, stuffing, thread and TIME is donated by Jo, she also helps pay for spaying and neutering to help save a cats life. Please help out YOUR local shelter, even if its only a $2 donation to help pay for food, litter, toys, or health care for either a dog or a cat! All these animals need OUR help to have a happy and healthy life....as "JO" says..."adopt a Shelter animal"...save a life!
