A Little of both

First my rant:
I have never gotten that "awww" sight when I've seen a plane. I just know that they get me from one place to another, faster than driving. Well, once a year, the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) is held in Oshkosh, WI. I live about 18 miles from the airport that puts on this event. In order to land at the airport, all planes that are going to be landing, must circle my town. And from my understanding, the best time to fly is in the morning. Well, I have the problem when the pilots think morning is anytime before 8 am. I am a late night person, have been all my life. But I hear the planes starting to fly by my house every morning at about 6:30 am. It's been every morning for the past 5 or 6 days, and so I got about 5 more days left. This event show means a lot to people, as some fly all the way from Australia to see it, and the hotels are booked a year in advance, but not all people are airplane buffs, like all people aren't card making buffs.
Rave:
A friend and I got together and organized a scrapping/stamping get together. Anyways, it starts Friday afternoon, August 7th and goes straight through until Saturday night. It will be an awesome time.
I wanted to show you a card I made. I used mostly TAC products. In the middle of each square is a piece of Mimi cardstock. This is still available, but this year it is called More Mimi, because the DSP is now double sided. I did use SU! ribbon to make the little brown bow.
So it is all done and I will be giving it my Aunt for her birthday at the end of August.
Hope you have a good day!
Hugs to all~

Celebrate Birthday & Fourth of July


So I have a friend that has a birthday on the fourth of July. How great is that? You have the day off of work, you get to see gorgeous displays of fireworks, and maybe have a glass of wine. It's a day to sit, relax, and enjoy the good ole US of A!
So if the picture of the card looks funny, it is because it is almost midnight and I have no good lighting in my home to take a good picture except in the bathroom. So I don't have my usual background setting so I used a white bath towel. So if you look at the bottom of the picture of the card, the white towel is what you see, the white does not belong to the card. Any way, at about 8 pm tonight, I called my BFF and asked her to bring over the paper, the punch, the dimensionals, the background stamp and the ink! I, however, did supply the stamp that says celebrate on it (too funny). God bless my BFF, she came over and helped me put this card together. And no, I look at other cards on the internet constantly, so I CASED this card from here. I usually try to put a twist of my own on it, but seeing as I wait until the last minute to make this card, its resemblance is very close.
Well, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend. I am spending mine with my grandson, and I can't think of a better place to be, than with him.
If you're driving anywhere this weekend, stay safe, and have a designated driver if you plan to party!
Until next week
