April 22nd Weekly Post

 Happy Humpday!

Michele hosts this week's Sunday Postcard Art with a FACES theme.

I took a pre-cut 4x6 piece of white card stock and I stenciled a background with A Colorful Life's Cracked stencil and Uncharted Mariner, Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord Distress Inks. Next, I got out some DCWV Gold Foiled Cardstock and cut the Jane Davenport Tousled die, leaving all the bits in place and adhered it. Then I stamped a Paper Artsy quote with I/O black hybrid ink. If you cannot make out the words, it's a quote from Helen Keller: "Keep your face to the sun, and you will never see the shadows."

I made this for a UK friend whose birthday was yesterday.

White Recollections card base, Pink Paislee designer papers, Spellbinders mat dies, Stamplorations cupcake dies, Avery Elle sentiment stamp, Promarkers.

The sketch I used.

And here's a photo-dump of sorts -- just recent miscellaneous moments:

It's been Texas Ruby Red grapefruit season and it's my favorite fruit, with apples a close second.

We had strawberries again this year. This is the last one.

A recent avocado burger night with some yummy air-fried potato crown tots.

File this one under What A Difference A Year Makes. 

The orchid plant on the left is this year's gift from Dear Daughter.

The one on the right that is blooming was last year's gift.

It really amazed and pleasantly surprised us with its prolific blossoms!

And I finally got out for lunch with two of my closest girlfriends.

We had so much fun visiting over delicious Tex-Mex for over 3 hours!

Well, that's all from me this time.

Hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend!
