Huff and Puff

Hi, everyone!
This is a card I made (I made three, actually!) to send out to a few of my friends across the miles that have all been my inspiration for my work-outs, lately!

I've had this Riley Stamp for ages (I think it is called "Workout Riley", but it's no longer in the store, so I'm not certain). The current Riley and Company Challenge is to Celebrate Summer, and what better way to do that than to honor one's body by working it out?! :) I know this is a little different take on a Summertime Challenge, but......seriously, who doesn't start pumping up the iron to fit into their favorite summertime clothes more comfortably when the weather is warmer??


It's been a long road to taking the leap for me to join a gym, but that is just what hubby and I have done this past month. I have some great cyber-pals that post regularly on their Facebook pages about their hard work and they've been a tremendous inspiration, aka: kick in the pants! lol! They all have their cards from Mr. Postman, so now this post can be put up for you all to see! :)

For my card, I used some old Stampin' Up dp that I've had in my stash. I cut some dumb bells on my Silhouette Portrait, embellished with some white gel pen, and created the sentiment circle in my PSE program. The mat that Riley is mounted to is also a Silhouette cut file.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy my card!

Reel Special!

Hi everyone!
I have a confession to make.........I didn't send my dad a card for Father's Day this year!! <*GASP!*>
I know, I know.......how could I NOT?! I mean, it's not like I don't MAKE cards, right?! (hanging head in shame).
In my weak defense, I did call him on the phone! :) I haven't seen him in a while, but hubby and I are taking a trip home next week (the first in almost two years), so we will be spending some time together then. We're supposed to head to the zoo with many of the other family members, so I told him I'd buy him an ice cream while we're there. lol! I know that sounds funny, but if you knew my dad you would know that he LOVES ice cream! lol! There are always at least three or four different kinds in the freezer at his place! lol! AND he stays skinny as a rail!!! Grrrr........
In the meantime, I thought I'd put together a card to take with me for him. Sort of a "non-Father's Day Father Card", if you will. The inside of this one reads, 
"You are REEL special to me!".
