A simple and cute little Birthday card using SU Tasty Treats DSP and  the Popsicle from the Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge cut on my Explore Air. To finish it off , I used SU Stitched Shapes, the Banner Triple Punch, and a circle die. The sentiment is from SU Fabulous Four stamp set. That's it for today. Now go and do something the MAKES YOU HAPPY!

Extra Yummy Birthday

Today is another day using SU Tasty Treats DSP.  Right now I'm obsessed with this paper!  Although I only ordered the paper and not the suite, I'm finding a sufficient amount of older stamps, dies and help from my Cricut Air to complete them.

Unfortunately,  I'm not able to list the colors of the plain cardstock I've used.  With the move, not being totally organized, and not doing many cards this past year has caused some lapse of memory. Ok, maybe it's my age :))

This is another Deconstructed Sketch - #83, the sentiment and dies are from Taylor Epressions  Build a Treat (retired), SU ribbon, candy dots, Stitched Shapes Framelits, and Scalloped edge (unknown source).

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend. Go do something you love...

Super Sweet

Here is another card crafted using the SU Crafty Treats Specialty DSP. I used the Deconstructed Sketch #45 for the layout and Taylored Epressions Fruity Friends (retired) stamp set to complete the card. I colored the cute little strawberry, which was stamped on watercolor paper, with Memomento ink then filled it in using SU makers. I also used SU Stiched Shapes and Banner Triple.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and go do something you love!

Blessings,
Bernadette

Popsicle Happy Birthday

Todays project is using Tasty Treats DSP and combining it with this cute little popsicle from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I spritzed it with a mixture of Champagne Mist (ret.) and alcohol in a SU spritzer to give it a shimmery look. The sentiment is one from the Feb. 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit.

It's being put away for one of my sweet grandchildren. I will be making a few more using this DSP today and hope to get them posted by Monday. Make it a wonderful weekend and go enjoy something you love...

Live Simply,

Blooming with Kindness

These are Thinking of You notes I made today staying with the same design for all 10. That not only made them easy, but quick. I also CASEd them from page 56 of the 2014/2015 catalog which made them even easier to produce quickly.

Stamps: Blooming with Kindness,  Gorgeous Grunge, and one of the
sentiments from the February 2016 Paper Pumpkin.  The flower was stamped with Primrose Petal and the grunge with Baked Brown Sugar. Size: 3 1/2 ×5

Have a great weekend and do something that makes you happy!

Monday Musings

Hello all, I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Our family certainly did. My oldest son and his family hosted our dinner this year. And what a dinner it was! Ross planned the meal and prepared it all. Cooking is his creative outlet and it certainly blesses us.

This a picture of his Saturday preparations.

His menu included roasted leg of lamb, Mediterranean rice dishes, fresh green beans,
crab stuffed mushrooms, pita wedges with hummus, olive plate, fruit plate and so much more. We all ate until we were stuffed, laughed, and finished with some delicious Baclava.

I also wanted to share my new Buffet. The gentleman who built my Farmhouse table built this for me. I am so happy with it. What do you think?

That's it for tonight. I'm going to bed early expecting to receive a call from my daughter who has been having contractions for a few days, but today they've been 

coming more regular. Hopefully, Matthew Jr. will make his debut soon! 

Have a good evening and a great day tomorrow.

Blessings, 

Bernie Bee 

Birds and This &That

Today I'll be posting just a a few picture updates. Not crafty stuff, but just things that are part of my life.

The little birds on our wreath are getting close to leaving the nest. I'll miss sing their progress from day to day.

Speaking of birds. This morning I was blessed with a male and female Goldfinch at our new feeder. We've had the House Finches and Carolina Chickadees coming for about 2 weeks,  but this was the first visit from the Goldfinches. I really need to get a better picture of the male. He's absolutely stunning. I did put up a Hummingbird Feeder, but there has not been any activity as of today.  

Speaking of "birds". Here is a recent photo of my son and his daughter who live in Maine. Her namesake is Wren after the tiny little bird. Hopefully,  we will get to see her and her brother Booker soon.

Our new little  Booker Scott born 3/17/17

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. My oldest son will be cooking the Easter meal this year. He loves to cook and entertain. Hopefully, my daughter Stephanie and her family will be able to join us. Tomorrow is her due date! We are so excited to get to meet Matthew Jr. soon.

Talk to you soon.
