A Little Snow Sounds Good

Good afternoon!  It is hot outside, so I decided to make a snowman card.  I love, love the Polka Dot DSP.  I have already gone through one pack and half another one.  Gotta run, I have a LOT to do to get ready for VBS next week!

Ornament Keepsakes

Good morning!  I got my preorder for the holiday Mini so I had had to make something Christmas.  I stamped the ornament in Lucky Limeade and then cut it out with the Holiday Ornament Framelits die.  It is hard to tell in the photo but the oval is actually cut out of the Lucky Limeade panel and the whole panel is on dimensionals.  I used the cut out piece on the inside of the card.  I added a strip if the gorgeous Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP to the front and on the inside.  The sentiment for the inside is stamped on another ornament shaped die cut.  I love how this card turned out, it is very pretty IRL.  Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflake Wreath

Good evening!  My project for today is the last of the wreaths we did at my wreath class, I know you are probably tired of seeing them.  I do have a few more ideas for wreaths but they will not be completed anytime soon.  I covered the wreath form with a soft yarn that looks like it may be intended for a baby blanket and then added die cut snowflakes.  Each of the bigger snowflakes has a smaller one in the middle which has Dazzling Diamonds on it but is hard to see in the photo. If you click on the photo, you can see the detail a little better.   I finished them off with a Baja Breeze button and tied some retired Baja Breeze ribbon into a bow.  Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Tags

Good afternoon!  I was cleaning out a drawer a few days ago and found some die cut leftovers so I whipped up a bunch of tags.  Very simple design using the DSP Be of Good Cheer.  For the scallop at the top, I had a leftover Scallop Circle so I ran it through the Big Shot with the Two Tags Die.  Now if I can remember to use these when the time comes.  Thanks for stopping by!

Seeing Stars

Good morning, hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I had a full day of stamping with friends in Metropolis on Saturday, can't think of a better way to spend the day.  Today I have another wreath to share with you.  This one was super easy, a few die cut stars glued to a wreath form.  I did wrap the form with ribbon just to hide the white color of it and then added a bow and a few brads.  Thanks for stopping by!

Open Sleigh

Good morning!  It is July so I can "officially" start my Christmas cards.  This is one we made at this weeks Technique Class(we will also make it at next weeks Technique class:) using one of the templates from the Paper Piercing Pack.  The sleigh is from the stamp set Open Sleigh and fits perfectly on one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  I also used the Delicate Designs embossing folder for the Very Vanilla piece and the Argyle Folder for the Cherry Cobbler piece.  The DSP is from the Be of Good Cheer collection.  Thanks for stopping by!


ps....We do have room for one more person in the Technique Class #2 group, if you are interested send me an email for the details.

Betsy's Blossoms Birthday

Good evening!  Wow, it has been a hot day, over 100 degrees here.  Luckily today was a fun swimming trip with the kids from our church.  I am always so very careful about applying and reapplying sunscreen on the kids but I missed a few spots on my self today and now I have a sunburn which I am sure is going to be painful by tomorrow.

Today I have a beautiful card made by a fellow demonstrator, Roxanna McCulloch, from Columbus, Ohio.  Roxanna came to my Technique class Monday night and it was such a treat to not only stamp with her but to receive  one of her Convention swaps.  Thanks Roxanna, I really enjoyed your company!

Happy July 4th

Good evening!  Hope you were able to spend time with family today, I got to spend the day with four out of five of my kids today.  My son, Chad, didn't get to come home since he only gets one day off but he is coming for the weekend.  My Shelby doesn't like to have her picture taken and it doesn't help that Sadie loves to pester her about it but I did convince her to let me take a couple today.

I also have a CAS card to share with you today.  Thanks for stopping by!

Your Kindness Means So Much

Good evening!  I have been working at home today to get everything ready for a July 4th celebration with family tomorrow but thought I would sneak away and show you one of the cards we made last night at one of my Technique classes.  Our technique this month was paper piercing which is very hard to see in the photograph but if you click on it you can see it better.  I love the new templates SU gave us for paper piercing.  The DSP is from the Comfort Cafe collection and the card stock colors are Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla.  The stamped image is from the Betsy's Blossoms set and the sentiment is part of the From my Heart set.  Thanks for stopping by!

Leftover Spice Cake

Good evening!  Where is time going, it is July already.  Today I am sharing one of the wreaths I made for a wreath class I had on Saturday.  I had a few leftover pieces of Spice Cake DSP so I used it on this one.  I don't know why but there is something relaxing about making the lollies or rosettes, I just score and score and let my mind wander.  Anyway, gotta run, I have a class in a few.  Thanks for stopping by!
