Noble Deer


Hello Bloggers! 

We're back from the mountains again.  Boy....it's a heck of a lot cooler up there than it is in town.  We got rain every single day, and one day we got 2" in less than an hour.  Thought we were going to float away.  lol   Actually, it was nice and it sure made for nice sleeping in the evening.  The valleys and meadows were so green, and the horses were loving it all.   The best part of the trip was having our grandson, Desmond with us.  There was a "Christmas in July" celebration all weekend, so we enjoyed that.  A complete Christmas dinner with turkey, dressing, cranberries and all the trimmings was served.  Kinda fun having Christmas dinner in July.  Yummy!  

Okay, today's card is Noble Deer, and the stamp is by Stampin Up.  DH loves deer, so I made this for him for Father's Day.  Colored with Copics and I used Distressed Stickles around the edges of the image.  Four gold brads were added, and an olive green background was added behind the colored image.  The die cuts are by Spellbinder's.  








That's it for today. I'll  be back another day with a new card to share.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Glad to be home!

  2. We go up to Pendaries (pronounced Panda-ray), in the Mora Valley up north. It's gorgeous....well, now it is after all the rain. It's up in the tall pines. So peaceful and cool. Lots of widlife in our area. Black bears have come to visit every night. Our friends wildlife night camera has photographed them. Maybe I should post one of the pics on the blog. I will do that if I didn't delete them. There's also lots of red fox, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits, and of course the predators we don't want to accidentally bump into while walking Zoe...our Welsh Terrier at night....mountain lions and coyotes. There are also beautiful Hummingbirds all day long (have to bring in all bird feeders at night because of the bears). Blue Stellar Jays, some kind of orioles, etc. Oh and an occasional skunk. Eewwwww Come visit us up in the mountains!
