It has been awhile

 Oh my goodness, I have been so busy since my daughter has moved back in with her daughter that I did not even know there were pictures still in my camera that I have not posted, but then I have not had much time to make cards either. So it has been a roller coaster of emotions for me around here.

                                  for 2 people from church that were in a car accident

                                         2 little grand nieces that are close in age

                                               wish I could remember

                                                   Jeff's birthday

                                         Adam Jr.'s baptism

                                                    card I liked I made 3 more

                                                  Larrie's birthday card

Herb's 59th BD

Hi all, I have the house to myself today, the guys are in the field, Britt is with her boyfriend and I made this card today in between my chorses.
I am hoping  there is some green in the fields in a couple of weeks when it is my hubby's bd.
I changed the hat to a baseball type cap because that is the kind he wears all the time, I put a little pioneer seed logo on the cap, the tractor is from beep beep. I add a smile to the bear because Herb always has a silly grin on his face...

 and in a few months they will be back on the field to pick the corn for the silos

Adam's tractor

good morning to all, 
I first saw this background over at Kreative Korner By Kelly
http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/2012/08/something-other-than-christmas.html
and she directed me over to Gina K of Stamp TV
http://stamptv.ning.com/video/sunshine-background

where Gina has a video on how to make this background,  she has the sunshine and I added the field.
when I first saw the video, all I could see is a great sunset on the fresh plowed rows of a field..
(the farmer in me) I also rounded the center to make it look like a sun. Next time I will try more colors of a sunset.

this is for my nephew who will be turning 25 on Sunday, and yes his tractor is yellow!
perfect timing for this card!!!

 

I was going to make a large tractor, but it would take away from this background

Thanks to Kelly and Gina for the idea!!!
