When I made my dino card the other day I couldn’t pass up making a ducky card too since those 2 are my most favorite images out of this set .. This duck is sooo cute and of course look what else is a Big shock for this Monday . I used Yo Yo yellow again for this card .. WOWZIE I am on a roll don’t ya think ? Hee! Hee! I also used my quirky quips for this card. I also used the cuttlebug for the only orange and also the black layers ( But the Black you can hardly see it in the 1st photo but it is done as you can tell in the #2 photo ) .Love those little bubbles in the quirky quips . This set is also retiring this month ..
OK after I made the card I just couldnt set it down then I went and added the white gel pen accents to the cuttle bug dots & spots embossing envelope .. so NOW I think it is finished .. But I’m still unsure if I should have left well enough alone .. OH well , I still love the ducky !! … Ya know As sad as I am about most of the retiring sets this year I am even more excited to see whats to come as I know all of you are also ..
Today I go to my RA doc for the 1st time since my knee replacement wont he be shocked to see how Great I am doing .. Then after this doc visit BRACE YOURSELF Jessie and I are heading to the Gym after wards I have been looking forward to going and of course I will NOT over do it especially since I have PT at 4:00pm this afternoon with Todd and we all know I get a workout on my hips there also Hee! Hee!
I also wanted to mentioned that Yesterday when I had posted about what Jessie and I are doing for losing weight .. I forgot to mention we take Sundays off ( at least thats what I call it ) We always go out to lunch/ Dinner with all our friends from church and this is a day we go off our diet But Yesterday Jessie and I even got to stay on our new way of life even though we went out with our friends.. Cause did you know that Applebess has a little part of their menu just for WW’ers YUP I got the Confetti Chicken YUMM-O and get this they even list the points for you .. MY confetti Chicken was only 7 points YIPPIE!!.. so even though we did the lunch thingy we were able to stick with WW Double YAHOO! All I can say is Praise God for Applebees wink wink!!
Last night Rich and I chatted for a bit and he said there was a suicide bomber that drove a dump truck heading for his base the Troops took out the driver then the drump truck exploded and left a 20 ft deep hole about 200 yards from the base line .. Rich had to fix the ceiling in MWR buliding from the blast.. Rich says this happens alot over there The sirens go off But its usually after the fact since it happens so quick for them to get in the bunkers .. The US troops are to shoot anything that comes near the base without any questions asked No matter what ( Ya know shoot 1st ask questions later ) .. Praise God they are doing their Job over there.Please keep praying for all our Men and women over in Iraq and else where ..
Have a Great Monday and I will see you tomorrow
Until later … Happy Stampin!!












Good Morning! That card made me laugh as soon as your site loaded! Love it! I think the dots coloured look GREAT! I couldn’t see the spots and dots on the black otherwise. Awesome job! I didn’t know that Applebees had WW on the menu. Wonder if ours does here in Canada? Will check it out! Thanks for the info. Hope your husband stays safe. I’m always thinking of everyone! Good luck at the gym. I’m going to get on my exercise equipment today too. Three weeks til our Cali vacation…YIKES…gotta get in shape!
Awe…your Lucky Duck is so cute! You sure are rockin’ those brights.
Yay for you on the WW! That’s great! And it’s so wonderful to hear how well you are doing with your new knee!
We continue to pray for the troops every day!!
I am soo glad to hear your husband is okay! So incredibly scary. Congratulations on your WW start. I just started the KimKins diet (like Atkins but healthier). I feel great…and am finally starting to lighten up, ha, ha!
What a hysterical silly stamp! Loving this cutie!
I was just catching up on your blog (having been traveling for a bit)…and wanted to give you a big hand for your WW endeavors. I am a life time member, but have just gone back for the last couple of months…talk about sliding! (sliding UP!!) It is a great program and so much easier with a buddy! Hooray for Jessie!! You will both feel soooo good!!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Our DD is in Afghanistan–so I spend a good bit of time at her home helping with the kids. Hang in there…your hubby is a good man!!
Awesome card!
I can’t wait to get you the 3 pkgs of cards from Alayna’s school for the troops over there. It’s the least we can do for all they do for us.
Good luck on your weight loss program. I’m sure the 2 of you will be successful because you have each other to count on and you are not doing it alone.
Dawn, your cards are so bright and cheerful. I just love them!
Hi Dawn,
I have looked at this set of stamps a hundred times and I have never liked it. Leave it to you to make not just one but two fanatastic cards using this set. I *love* every thing about the duck card you made.
Good luck to you and Jessie using the weight watches program. Thier frozen meals are delicious.

Super cute card. Love the colors, just go well with the ducky… TFS!
Thinking of you and your hubby and all the others over there…
This stamp reminded me of Howard the Duck! All that is missing is the cigar in his mouth. (I am a comic book fan)
My son just adopted a duckie named Filbert and takes him to Menards with him. I think he’s channeling JOey.
