Stampin’ Up! Large Numbers Guy Greetings Birthday Card

Posted on July 27, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Late breaking news! I just found out the 4th-of-July card that I made with the Timeless Textures stamp set was selected as an Artist Pick at Hand Stamped Sentiments! I want to thank the good folks at HSS for picking my card out of the really great cards that were submitted. When you have a chance – go check them – and the other winners! – out, okay? You can click right here! If you want to see how I made this card, just click the picture! 🙂

Happy Hawwmp Day (I checked the calendar – it’s for sure Wednesday!), y’all! 🙂 Which means the week is half over – which means there’s only two more work days ‘afore I get to head for the home-drome! Of course that also means I should be busy packing my stuff back into the boxes and totes I brought it here in. Or, for you grammarians….the boxes and totes in which I done brung it!

I have a quick – and sorta sad! – update about Duck Duck. It appears that, although wild geese mate for life, if domestic geese do the same, well….it’s with other geese. Appears they don’t stick with humans for good.

Duck Duck seems to have flown…well…waddled…the ~~coop~~ pond.

Yes – it’s true. Or true as of the writing of this post. Wayne took her her dinner and….she was gone. He spied her back next door, where we believe she hails from…with two plain ole white geese.

The kind you’d put an apron on by your front porch. Only…like…you know….real!

Guess she got her chopped cabbage and watermelon and duck crumbles and cracked corn and showers when it was hot and….sob….just….SOB….LEEEEEEEFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!! (I don’t know how to make a crying emoticon, so pretend there’s one of those right here!).

Maybe she just misses me so terribly that…no, Mary. No. You know what they say…if you love something, let it waddle away. If it loves you back, she’ll return.

Sniff…..

Give me a minute to collect myself.

sniff…

Okay. I’m good. I’m pulling up my big girl panties and getting on with my life.

Today’s card is kind of a fun one – I actually chuckled out loud while I was making it (before Wayne called, that is). I played with a couple of challenges – and let me show you the first one before I show you the card.

Just Us Girls had a photo challenge. JUGS #353 was all about golf.

So – I used some of the Large Number and Large Letter Framelits. And some Labeler Alphabet. And I made a Guy Greetings kinda card. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Wetlands and Guy Greetings for Father’s Day

Posted on June 7, 2016 by stampsnlingers

11 June 16 UPDATE! I just found out that this card was selected by the Design Team over at The Paper Players as A Cut Above. Check it – and all the winners! – out right here! 🙂

*****************************

Good morning, y’all! How’s your week going? I got some more veggies planted – before the rain came in! And – I named the goose.

Oh – might not have mentioned the goose? Apparently, we’ve been adopted and granted the privilege of being the new home for a domestic goose. He (she?) just showed up last Friday. Might have come from the flock next door. No clue. He’s kinda pretty. And he looks real nice tooling around the pond.

Did you know they swim with their little web legs out behind them? I always figured – you know, all those times I considered how geese might swim – that they would have their legs under them. But they don’t! His little orange legs just stick right out behind him! It’s kind of cool.

So – since he seems to be planning to stick around for a minute – he sort of likes the scoop of cracked corn he gets every evening (yes, we’re suckers/saps/soft-touches/marshamallows)….I figured I’d name him.

Duck Duck.

As in Duck Duck….Goose!

🙂

Anywho – Duck Duck helped inspire me for today’s card. I pulled out the Wetlands stamp set – which features a goose – and added a little swath from the Over the Rainbow set. Since it’s a Father’s Day card – I grabbed a sentiment from Guy Greetings. Just made sense. Take a look-see:
