Husband Card using CTMH Hawthorn Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts (retired)

Hello Friends!  How are you?  It is summer and already hot here in Southern CA.  I tried to ride my bicycle yesterday and I started having trouble breathing; so I had to come home.  It was only 75 degrees outside at the time.  I have had trouble with breathing issues since I was in nursing school when I was in my 20's.  It is frustrating not being able to do things the things I want/need to do.  I need exercise; as I have gained a lot of weight during the Pandemic.  I hope you are able to get out and enjoy the summer/spring/fall/winter; whichever one it is in your area.  

I decided to create a several cards for males a couple weeks ago; which is one of the reasons I decided I would not create anything else until I got my craft room cleaned up and everything put away.  LOL!  This card is for my husband.  I have two that I made for his Father's Day card; but now I am not sure which one to use this year.  LOL!  

I am still trying to learn how to do stenciling.  I see so many awesome cards in the crafting world; but mine don't look as good as I would like.  I wanted this truck to look antique; but not sure if I achieved that.  I am a perfectionist; even though I try to overcome it all the time.  LOL!

Birthday Card Using Anna Griffin Perfect Patterns For Him Card Base

Hello Friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is really hot in southern CA.  I hope you are cooler wherever you live.  I can't believe we have such hot temperatures already.  I think it is going to be a hot hot summer.       

I created a lot of cards using Anna Griffin products this past several months.  I think I gave this one to my husband for his birthday last year; but can't remember.  LOL!   I have been trying to use up some of my older products; which I have a lot of.  LOL!  

I have told myself I can't create anything else until I have my craft room cleaned up; so I am procrastinating right now by posting a card instead of cleaning.  I cleaned for the past 2 days and I am tired.  It is a bigger job when a person creates without cleaning up as they go.  It is much more fun to create than to clean up after yourself when the creative mojo is at its highest.  LOL!
