Thank You Card To A Great Russian Family!

My sister had asked me to make a thank you card for her. 

She wants to send a special handmade card to her daughter's Russian host family. 

Her daughter, my niece, Taylor, is currently a 12th grade exchange student in (I hope I get this right!) Velikiy Nov, Russia. 

And I must say, she is loving every bit of Russia!!

She has traveled all around that region and to a couple of other countries also! What an experience to have at that age!

Ingredients:

Cardstock~Recollections

Patterned paper~The Paper Studio,The Linen Door

Burlap ribbon~Recollections

Border punch~Martha Stewart

Sentiment~Fiskars

Ink~StazOn, jet black and VersaMagic, spanish olive

I was not going to post this card, but Tracy could not praise me enough when she finally received it in the mail! 

I am not pleased at all with this picture, I just could not get a good camera shot. 

I have researched online tips and techniques...but can't seem to get the hang of it.

Thanks for stopping by!

First Harley Ride and Thank You Card

Happy Monday....it is a beautiful day here in PA! The sun is shining bright, the birds are singing! 

I am going to go out and enjoy this wonderful day in a bit. 

I would love to go for a ride on the Harley but that isn't going to happen quite yet. 
My husband is still healing from his neck fusion and is not supposed to ride. Let me emphasize that last part..."he is not supposed to ride" Since the weather has been warming up, he has had that 'itch' to ride real bad!! 
He could not stand it and took our granddaughter for a short cruise last weekend. Needless to say, he was hurting after their ride.

Oh, and while I am on the subject of our Harley...for the last couple of years, it so happens that my sweet granddaughter (not me) gets the first ride of the season. 
I do believe they connive every year so she can get that first ride with Papa. 
Or...is it just a coincidence I am not at home the day he gets the Harley out and ready for the riding season. 
Too funny!!!

Anyhow.... I want to share a card I made for a good friend and her husband thanking them for a great time up at their camp! (that's where I was when that first ride happened! )

Since I wanted to thank my friend and her husband for being great hosts, I tried not to create something to feminine. I just had to add a bit of clear ribbon for some texture!

Ingredients:

Patterned paper ~ Paper Studio, The Linen Door

Thank You Stamp ~ Fiskars, All Year Greetings

Ink ~ StazOn, Jet Black

Hope you enjoyed my little story :)

Have a wonderful day!
