A Wedding Card & Mini Album

Our nephew recently married so of course I made

a card for them.

Using die cuts and punches, I love how

it turned out. 

I used sort of "autumn" colors since it is November after all.

On the inside of course I had to use my new

Tim Holtz 3D heart die cut and I love how it turned out.

The sentiments are also from a TH phrase booklet.

So THEN, at my LSS I saw this DCWV 6x6 pad that ALSO had 

embellishments to go with.

So, our nephew and new niece LOVE the beach, shore, ocean

and this was perfect.

I absolutely fell in love the papers.

They were just perfect along with them embellishments

and lots of stuff to fussy cut in the paper pad.

I made a tag to tuck in the envelope

which I love and hopefully there'll be journaling on it.

I used our invitation in the album as well and it was so

pretty it needed no embellishment.

I only put a couple of photos in, because there aren't

many out there that are really good

and I didn't take many either.

I know. My bad.

Is that paper not gorgeous and perfect.

And those embellies.

YUM.

f 

Of course I wanted to give some guidance as to what to do.

Tucking stuff in, journaling, etc. and of course,

I couldn't do that on a plain white piece of paper so...

I made this tag that I just loved and really didn't want

to give it away LOL.

I absolutely loved making the card and the album.

 

This year's Christmas Cards

I had an opportunity to make some

cards for our Vets this year.

It was a lot of fun, using Ranger Oxides

and Crayons for the stamped images.

I bundled them up in

order to drop them off easily.

And for the grandkids I made them sort of

alike, yet different.

LOL.

Using a Sissix die cut that didn't

have a lot of moving parts which was

lovely.

Some nights I did one, up to 3 maybe

four so it didn't take but a couple

of days doing it that way.

I did all the card cards at once and the same,

but I wanted Santa to be somewhat different.

I  did the Santa's and all the die cut things

one-at-a-time and put them together as

they came off the die cut machine and then

added them to the cards and

finished it inside and out.

it was so much nicer and easier in

keeping all the parts together,

including the dies because the pieces didn't

get scattered and drive me nuts. 

 

A photo from each of the states we hung out in

We are currently in Carrabelle Florida waiting

on a happening once we get to

Jacksonville and attend our favorite nephew's

wedding.

After that we'll be hunkered down in our winter home

in Arcadia where we'll cram a year's worth

of doctoring in 3 months.

It's a gift LOL!!!

We are currently looking for more "permenant digs" a place

we own and can hang out in any time want or need.

I'll keep ya posted on that.

Ho Hum RV Campground

We pulled into this lovely campground that

is () this close to the gulf.

We have a lovely corner spot where we can

see the water.

Next time - hopefully we'll be looking at the gulf

and never have to close our front curtains.

It's a gem and a secret so shhh!!!! 😊

They have a beach and access but not a lot

of space to really 'walk" the beach

but fishing rocks.

There a long dock where one can fish.

Tom did fish and caught a redfish that

he had to toss back.

Too small.

There went dinner.

And the coastline from off the dock.

Sunsets are beautiful there.

I got the moon and bird in the shot, 

Beautiful sunsets here.

 

Falling into Autumn Finally

It was a grey, overcast, rainy day and we went out to explore

mostly because we were getting squirrelly from 

hanging around a few days while the

weather insisted on being crappy.

We blew through the Chatooga Forest and the back roads

that was a lot of fun.

Bummer on not seeing any wildlife.

Love these ghost and goblins hanging around.

Smoke on the mountain in the foothills.

And the colors so bright and beautiful.

The Chatanooga River.

(I think).

I really need to take notes on our rides.

It was a lovely chilly rainy day and we topped it off with

delish BBQ in Cashiers, SC.

YUM.

 

Goodies - New goodies

From my pal Holli.

It's hard to get new product because we're always moving

and a lot of places don't take any deliveries.

So.....

when it goes to our mailing address - it stays there

until we are in a place where I can get packages.

The same applies to videos.

NO WATCHING VIDS - NOT enough gigs on the WIFI.

So....I'm totally behind in ALL TH vids.

Boo.

Anyway, my pal Holli keeps me up to date and

sends me prizes.

So blessed to have her as a friend.

Below is a filler sheet using my new stuff.

She also die cut a bunch of stuff for me that I don't have

and made some tags.

My DH loves his coffee.

He roasts our own coffee which is sooooo good.

So this is so perfect for us and

it was fun to make.

 

Documenting hookups with friends and family - Update

I actually completed this album and didn't realize how close I was

when I made this post, so I am adding the last 2 pages.

----------------------0----------------------

Love hooking up with family and friends on the road.

Journaling on whatever is available - like receipts especially

if one wants more photos involved.

Had a lot of fun at the race track.

We are not really good at betting but it was fun to watch.

State parks are your friend and are chockful

of history and the parks are beautiful.

So when in NJ seafood, friends, family, and pizza.

Once you eat NJ pizza nothing else compares.

Just sayin...

Little cuties that are growing like weeds

so it's good to check in and hang with them.

And of course, getting photos with rigs in them 

with the name of the RV park is a plus

in case we want to return.

Love exploring all the nooks and crannies wherever

we land, hang, and take photos.

Since my kidlets live in different states 

it's alway fun to catch up with them.

My pal sent me those die cut leaves and love love love them.

💖

We got to hand with the adorable cutie above and

love it and him.

Our great nephew. 

And the last page - sitting on Jeanette's pier

watching all the fisherman watching their lines to

see if they get a bite.

The excitement was overwhelming.

LOL.

I have a new album in the works. 

I am "making" the cover " for the "album"

that will hold the 6x8 page protectors.
