Timeless Tuesday...get sketchy with Ally

Today's TT is a sketch challenge...my favorite as someone else does the layout for me. I chose the Aster little bouquet from the calender set # 3...autumn flowers. It's a wonderful time for me as I love the crispness in the air when the sun goes down and before it comes up all the way. Have a story at the end of this post about the sun so hold your horses and I'll get back to you. In the meantime as I said I opted for some fall like flowers and since they are commonly purplish tones I did a purple toned card all the way. Followed the stekch to a T as it's easier that way. Used the Spellbinder deckled edge die and  a edge punch for the scalloped edge. Nothing much to it just stamp, color, and spit glue it all together..Fini.
So we are at a night time football game for my darling GS on Sat. night and it's getting dark ..so I lied, it was dark and I look off into the distance and I see this glorious sun just sitting in the sky. It's the most beautiful orange red and I am in awe. I turn to DD and say..OMGoodness isn't that the most beautiful sun set you ever saw?? She looks at me and says
Mother you're ready for the home...that's the top of the First Bank Building. She then mega phones it to the crowd. I tell the man next to me...no worry I'm not a native Montanian so no disgrace. He just laughs and says , You're Ok.  Talk about stupid.
Well have a fun week fellow stampers and see you next time. The Crazy lady.

Timeless Tuesday...use pearls

Well good golly Miss Molly here I am again on time for Flourishes challenge, I guess wonders never cease. I got their new stamp set just last week and was really wanting to use it ...so here it is. It's the Gerbera Daisy set which although these flowers bloom in many colors when I did up this card they looked like asters to me so I guess I'm just a real ass...ter and colored them in my own way. I had a horrible time glueing my Nestie cut down as the mono-adhesive was so gluey ( is that a word??? I heard of Huey and Dewy but is there a gluey??) I was sticking to the card along with my image. But as you can see I finished it off OK. It's the Flourishes Gerbera Daisy set which I used my colored pencils on, added some chiffon ribbon of lilac color on my lilac colored cardstock and if you notice on my little Nestie phrase card( also used the rectangular die) I added my lilac colored PEARLS, as the challenge called for. Why is lilac spelled that crazy way when you say it like lie lock...oh they are always trying to make us old people crazy. So then I also ( almost forgot to tell you ) used my Fiskars scallop punch to make a cute border for the bottom of the card. Hope you are all well and happy and have a good start in this new week. Is it just me or is the English language confusing? I know the answer...it's just me. It's a crap getting old.

Lovely Lace

Well today's challenge at Sharon Johnson's ( click on her name on right) is to use lace on your card. I'm not much of a lacy type old lady but did find a piece to use on my card. My little birdie in the tree is singing a sweet little song to me...it has that trill to it, do you hear it?? Better then little birdie in the tree...don't drop that white stuff all over me! My bird is from Crafty Secrets cotton scraps called flowers,my phrase is from Impression Obession, the embellishments are Petaloo, and I used my Nestie and a Fiskar's border punch. What else you want to know?
Took my friend Clara out for her 93rd. birthday yesterday and before lunch she emitted sounds like my coffe pot does in the early a.m.& then after lunch the crickets came out loudly as she proudly passed gas on the way out of the restaurant. What a funny old lady....she asks me " Hey Pat did you hear that one???" I praised her soundly letting her know what a great gas passer she is.
Have a great weekend fellow stampers
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FLOURISHES...my card is a twofer and it's my happy birthday card to the great company that Flourishes is!
