We’re madly trying to finish up some household and major cleaning projects before Sarah and Adam come next Tuesday. Yesterday the plumber was here for three hours and made some much needed (and overdue) repairs to both bathrooms. We couldn’t find appropriate fixtures for a 80 year old house in the city, so our plumber recommended a supply store in Livonia. The owner was very knowledgeable and we got the porcelain handles we wanted. On our way home, we stopped at the garden and got a lot of work done there. I cultivated the whole plot while Tracy weeded and mulched the paths around our plot. It still needs work before we can get plants in, but it looks a lot more like a garden than it did. Tracy’s working on washing windows, painting the medicine cabinet doors, and I’m in the midst of cleaning.
Thank goodness for our battery-operated Black & Decker cultivator. It would have been a lot harder with a spade!
After working on some projects at home, Nancy and I went to Image City to see a new photography show and out to lunch. When I got back, I had time to make two cards, one for a friend who has just had major foot surgery (artificial joint replacement) and one for a young friend of ours who’s birthday is Tuesday.
Stamp: Lockhart Stamps & Papertrey Vintage Picnic Sentiments; patterned paper: A Muse & scraps; Copic markers
Stamps: Paptertrey Ink Enjoy the Ride & A Little Argyle; cardstock from scrap files; buttons: PTI & stash.
This was my first attempt to use both Enjoy the Ride and A Little Argyle. I love both sets, but would have redone some of this if I had had time. It’s going to take a bit more practice than I’m used to having to do.
I love both of these cards. Love your clean/classic style. I have yet to ink up my little car…LOL.
It looks like your garden is coming along nicely!
I love your cards! The red chair on the first one looks so inviting!
What great cards! I think you did well with the argyle.

Love the cards!
The cards are beautiful! I just don’t have the patience for the stamping part of it all.
I am the daughter of a farmer and yet I fail miserably in the gardening stakes – good luck!
The cards are fabulous by the way.
Lovely cards! Sounds you’ve been really busy! It sure is a great feeling to get those kind of projects taken care of 🙂
I love both of the cards–wow, you’re a fast crafter. I’m jealous that you could make two in one evening! 🙂
The garden looks like it’s coming on well…looking forward to seeing what you’re going to plant.
Good for you with the garden! 🙂 You do sound busy – glad you’re getting some crafting in too, the cards are lovely xx
Love your cards, Karen – especially the car one!!! Looking forward to seeing more photos of your garden too!
Both cards turned out great Karen. That chair looks so inviting!! Great job on the Argyle card too…I know, it does take some getting use to but I love the stamp set.
I think I need to put that Enjoy the Ride set in my cart when it is back in stock. It’s so cute!!
I keep telling myself I don’t need PTI’s Enjoy the Ride – but you are making it hard! Cute cards!
