Ruth is 108 Years Old!

Ruth, Happy Birthday!

Ruth celebrated her 108th birthday by going on a ride with her daughter and friends to see the town where she raised her children 3/4 of a century ago. Following the ride Ruth returned to the nursing home, where she has been living since her 101st birthday, to have cake and ice cream with staff, family and the residents. Annie, her favorite nurse comes in on her day off of work to attend the party.

Ruth is proud to be 108! She is an active member of the nursing home community. Cribbage with her daughter is played at least 3 times a week. Bowling and bingo are other activities Ruth enjoys. She is a big people watcher and loves to sit by the window to see what it happening outside.

Ruth's trick to longevity is 3 pieces a bacon a day along with a positive attitude!

Flower Tags

These tags were made by taking the outside of die-cuts and making them into a tag. Then I stamped some flower images onto the tags.

Lady Bugs!!

I Love Pink!

I made this card for a swap. It is a pink monochromatic card emphasizing summer, flowers and a butterfly.

Telephone Book Card

I made this card for a swap. It features a page from the telephone book. To stabilize the page I attached it to black card stock. The outhouse was colored with twinkling H20s. The envelope was made from the yellow pages and lined with yellow designer paper. The card also has creamy yellow card stock, which is why I chose yellow flowers and ribbon.

I thought the outhouse was an appropriate stamp for the theme since people do all kinds of things while spending time in the "little room." This includes talking on the telephone.

Vintage Tag

I made this tag for a swap and liked it so much that I had to share it. The image was given to me, but I did the layout and design.

Diamond Twinkles

I made this card a couple years back. It was e-mailed in to a company with the hope of getting free products. Needles to say I did not get any free products, but I still have the card. Since I got this blog running I would like to share this colorful card.

It was made with Twinkling H2Os. I painted a rainbow onto a large piece of card stock, then stamped images. A postal punch was then used. I made the card diamond shaped. I can't remember why, but I thought it would look nice.

Hope you like my work. Thanks for looking.
