Today Baby Girl, see post a few weeks ago, is getting Baptized.  I will be giving her this card, in pink of course.

Another Work of Art

This is another one I CASEd from Pinterest.  I may have changed the colors slightly and maybe the stamp set but I can't remember for sure.  I would never have bought this set if I hadn't seen all the great cards on Pinterest and Spiltcoast.

A Work of Art

I made so many different cards with the Stampin' Up! set called Work of Art.  I can't believe I haven't posted any of them yet.  So many cards have been featured on Pinterest using this set and I had to try them all.  Here is one I sent to my SIL who paints on wood.  Such a great card for her and I knew she would love it.

Another Green Man

You probably can't see the green man.   First of all, it isn't green which complicates seeing him.  The picture has that white thing from the light on the left side which looks like a little man which complicates things some more.  But if you enlarge the picture you should be able to see him in the circle in the center of the piece.

Dancing Starfish for Cedar Key

This is another one of the beach look stained glass he made.  Doesn't it look like it is dancing?  These are small enough that they could be used on a Christmas tree or in a small window.

Starting My Fall Holiday Planning

I always have to stay a few months ahead of what ever holidays are coming up.  This gives me time to try a few ideas that I have found on Pinterest and change them a bit to use supplies I have.  So I am starting to think about fall even though it will be hot here for quite a bit longer.

A Celtic Heart

Jim has been in a Celtic mood with a lot of his projects recently.  I guess he is dreaming of visiting Ireland.

Baby Girl

On Sunday we finally got to meet the grand daughter of our long time friends.  She is 5 months old already.  Although the baby name was picked before her birth, only the parents knew her name so we all called her baby girl.  So  we finally met baby girl Sylvia.

The Green Man

When we were in Scotland, I bought a journal because I loved the cover.  It is very heavy metal of some sort with the green man on the front.  This stained glass piece was inspired by that journal.

Awash with Flowers

One of the goals I have for this year is working my way through all of my stamps sets.  I am making progress but don't think I will get through all of them.  This card is made with a set that seems to get neglected.  I haven't made anything with it that I really like.  This one is also using up some long ago retired SU colors apricot and regal rose.

The Red Crab for Cedar Key

We are doing a new for us show this year in Cedar Key.  Since it is a seafood festival I told him he needed some sea creatures.  So here is the crab he came up with in red.  He also did a blue crab which I will post another time.  Ignore the white blob in the center as it is either the flash or a reflection of some sort.

Ribbon Angel

Each year he tries to come up with new ideas for angels, crosses, and hearts.  This is one of his newest angels using a pink ribbon for the body.  The crystal that is the angel's head came from a lamp that was in the house I grew up in.

Best Wishes Beck

One of our guild members is moving out of state and will no longer be able to participate in our activities.  She will be missed because she did many things for our group including being organizer for our  state fair entries.  One of the things she makes is fancy flip flop post cards so I thought this would be an appropriate card to send her from our group.
Flip Flop is a Sizzix die.  I trimmed the ones made out of designer paper to make them look like the solid pink is the sole of the shoe.

Celtic Knot

This Celtic Knot is used to represent the Trinity.  The border of the panel is beveled glass and the knot is just green glass.  He made another one which I did not photograph that has a green border and the knot is beveled glass.

Zero Birthdays

I needed some zero birthday cards and these are two I came up with.  I made a 50 card like them too, same layout but different designer paper.  They aren't the best but they will do.

Kilroy Krafts

Ever wonder why our blog address had Kilroy and krafts as part of the title.  The "krafts" is because we both craft and with a K just to be different.  Kilroy is very similar to a part of our name so many people used to think we were saying Kilroy.  If you don't know who Kilroy is you can google it.  Hint, the WWII veterans would know all about him.

This is a sign that we will put up in our booth. We have a show this Saturday, July 18, at Grace Methodist Church in Lithia.  The show is inside with small spaces so we will only bring a small selection of our crafts.

Age Awareness Day

I have a sister in law who lies about her age.  There is no other way to put it to make it sound nicer.  Yes she is younger than me by quite a few years, but she has been 30 for more than 20 years.  In fact, her daughter is now older than she is.  So I think this greeting on a birthday card will be a good one for her.  I got this idea on pinterest but I used a different color for the background.  My SIL loves purple.  She also loves cats.

The Last Glass Flower

The tulip panel is the last of the glass flowers.  We don't grow tulips here either.  So out of the four panels I posted the only flower we can grow here is the daylily.  I do have two more glass pictures that I took and will mix them in with the other July posts.

Lily

I bet you thought I forgot all about posting glass again didn't you.  Nope, just spreading the glass picture out since I don't have a lot of them.  This flower is a lily.  We do have daylilies growing in our front yard.

One Last Blossom

I made about 6 cards in this pattern changing only the color of the flowers and the designer paper.  They were easy and quick to make.  I decided the card on the right was the one I liked the best of all the colors and paper I used.
