Friendship isn't a big thing...

it's a million little things!

I can literally say, if it weren't for friends I wouldn't be where I am today.

April, I made a sudden and unexpected move and friends came and moved me to my new home.

This is the first card I have made in my new space.

Middle son is staying with friends while doing an Ironman Triathlon 

and kindly asked me to make him a thank you card he could send.

The newest stamp from Quietfire Design got me started.

Friendship isn't a big thing

The quote is stamped in VersaFine Sepia and thermal embossed clear, on Spellbinders Majestic Labels 1.

The inside

Thanks Fill'er Up

Now that I've unpacked pen, ink and paper- No Excuses! back to the drawing board!

DS is looking for hospitality the night of August 7 in Milwaukee for a National USA Triathlon .

(Leave me a comment or message if you would enjoy having him)

You know you will get a very nice card!

T is for Tuesday-Picasso, Perrier and Pottery

Happy 1st Anniversary. B and B invited us to bring back a fav post, and I've only been joining you for a few weeks, so I am sharing my favorite post of today!

I left a comment on the Dreamweaver Stencil FB page, and won a free stencil! I didn't even know I had entered a contest!

I had been wanting the Picasso stencil, that is more of a tool- as Dreamweaver put it in their lovely note to me( the REJOICE card) It's the tool you won't know how you lived without it!-so here I am on the porch, messing about with the tool and sending thanks.

The Fill 'r up Thanks and Thank you  stamps are  Quietfire Design.

The lovely mug is another made by my DD, and the Perrier

(which brings us to T is for Tuesday- do go check it out!)

is by Andy Warhol! ????

I hung out with that Factory crowd many moons ago.

Did Andy design labels for Perrier?

No other fizzy water quite does it for me on these long summer afternoons!

Suzanne, Queen of Quietfire challenged us to create a Fill R up for todays blogpost

 at Quietfire Creations, and no one could stop at one!

I plan to use these as gift tags.

The tag is the Elegant Flourish Frame a digital file.

Thanks is stamped in VersaFine Crimson and thermal embossed.

Stamp on mirrored paper and cut out to make your fill and adhere with a glue marker.

This background is made by coating an acrylic block with VersaMark and adding watercolor around the edges and pressing into good quality watercolor paper.
Stamp in Versafine Blue Lagoon and thermal emboss.
The little hearts are stamped and doodled in VersaFine Crimson and Stardust pens.
A bit of  blush was added with ink from a blending foam sitting on my desk!

The next two need a mask.

I cut masks out of heavy paper, stencil plastic and post-it's and liked the post-it's best.

The tag is Spellbinders Decorative Labels 28.

Thanks is stamped in VersaFine Onyx and thermal embossed.

Put the mask inplace and stamp a dotted design in VersaMark and thermal emboss.

Color with Watercolors and splatter if you wish with some gold paint.

 Last(for now) and not least

This is dedicated all all of my friends who Have showered me with Love these past few weeks and all of my life.

I love you all!
