Save bottle caps

Birthday card I made

Finished, today.

The background came from an old paper pad. It was not large enough on ita own to make a good background so I vcut it with a paper cutter and spread it apart , and lighten it up. It was rather dark looking, to me.

The sentiment  is  plain card stock, die cut and hand stamped.

My gold ibk pads pad came loose, so I improvised for the edges of the sentiment,  by running the edges on the pad at an angle to give it some color. The edge of the background  needed a bit of detail, so I ran a black marker along the edges. But it skipped at one place, so I made a similar  mark on the other side.

How to Gllitter Acorns

I know, it is the HEAT of Summer, right now.but just think, in just a few weeks, the Acorns and Pince cones are going to start dropping and I am going to want to make things with them.  I am going to ask around if I may pick up the pine cones that are in some people's yards. I can just jump out of the car with my basket or tote and pick up just a few, to bring home.

I love the idea of acorns. Even the fake ones make great decorations.

I can see using a few different colors of glitter for this project, can't you?

Halloween is coming

Yes, I know, it is still a few months away but Halloween is going to be here before we know it. I am looking for yard decorations to put out in our yard. and this one looks like a fun one to slip under our living room window.

I think the only change I might make is to add some  knees to the legs by wrapping the pool noodle with a little tape about halfway up them.

Great idea for any season, really

I am going to be making a few of these for this summer, to keep the bugs out of our drinks. 

I can see that using a copy of  family members would help nidify which drink belongs t o who.
