Got Lobster???

I saw this idea on Lynn Pratt's website in 2010. It is made with punches except for the lemons. They are from the Tart & Tangy Stampin Up set(now retired) stamped and cut out. The sentiment is computer generated on whisper white cardstock. I couldn't get the little legs on the lobster sides right so after a few tries I finally gave up and figured this was as good as it would get!  LOL

If you would like to see how it should really look you can check out Lynn Pratt's website Stamp-N-Design, her August 5, 2010 post. It's much better than mine!

The second card is using the brayer techniques I learned from a class I took from Michelle Zindorf.

 Above is just the card and below we set in a gift box of craft colored shreds.

 Here is the birthday card(sorry not such a good picture).

I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I did making them.

What A Day We Had Yesterday!

 Starting to dig out around the well.

 That's my hubby Lee in the wheelchair. :0) Those two cute little dogs are Lilly and Lizzy my neighbor Tonia's dogs. She is the one who gave us our Yorkie, Jasper! She was kind enough to lend me a cooler for the garage sale and she stopped by to pick it up. I told her I was getting a pool finally! I wish! hehe

 Yuck! it doesn't look too deep but they went down a little bit more than 3 feet to get to the pipe.

Getting it filled back in. They were done in no time flat!

As you can tell from the photo's we had a wild start of the day. Just last week we noticed our water pressure was bad and we thought it was the pressure pump that brings the water into the house from the well. (that's right we live in the boonies no city water here...just good old well water! LOL) But it turned out to be a worn out fitting at the actual well. That ended up being a easy fix.
