It's Thursday! Where has the week gone? It blew right by LOL! Been busy raking leaves and running errands. Also getting all my stuff done for 2 classes. Today's card was one we did at my last class. I love how it turned out! The snowflake turns in the window. The gems are very sparkly and it is my favorite color...Blue! Still not ready for the snow that is sure to be arriving soon. Today it is sunny out so I hope it sticks around for a few more days! Have a great day and thanks for stopping! Happy Crafting!

Happy Sunday! Today the sun is shining and the temp. is supposed to be in the 60's. Looks to be a wonderful day! This is a little card I made with Henry mouse from Whiff of Joy stamps. Isn't this image just so cute! I added lots of sparkle to the candy cane and their hats & scarves.. I wish my pictures would show more of the detail... Have a great day. See you soon!

Hello ~ It's Thursday afternoon and I wanted to post a new card. Tomorrow is the funeral visitation for my friend and also is my son's birthday. I will probably be too busy to get online.
It still all seems like a bad dream..hasn't sunk in yet. I am so glad I was able to spend some quality time with him a few weeks ago. They told him he had about 6 months to live but he didn't even make it 6 weeks...so sad!
I chose this image because you can't help smiling when you see it. It is a digital stamp from Pink Cat Studio. I cut out a second image to pop up over the first to give it dimension. I don't think you can tell from the picture. Added some glittery paper behind it and some stickles on his nose.
The flower was something that was kicking around my craft area. Thanks for stopping today. See you soon!

Monday, monday.... Hope you had a fabulous weekend. The weather here was beautiful on friday but it has cooled down considerably since then. This is one of the cards that the ladies did in my card class. It is a old stamp that I have had for a very long time. We stamped him & cut him out for a little dimension. Added a little rhinestone for his nose and some peppermint candies I got at a local craft store. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I usually have my cards done & some shopping started by now. But not this year...I am feeling very behind! I really want to just ENJOY the season. Every little thing about it... Savor the friendships, foods, music, holiday lights, etc...Want to S L O W down and not feel so hurried & stressed. That is something I am really going to try this year. Want to focus more on the real reason for the season...Take care. See you soon!

Rain, Rain go away! Today it is a dreary,drizzly day. Good day to snuggle under a blanket! Our yard is so full of leaves. You would never guess that they were all raked up yesterday! Now they are laying on the ground all soggy.
I love this Happy Hopper image. I added paper glaze to all the apples to make them shine. I also used some of this cool "tape" my friend gave me. I used to work at a craft store and one of my fellow workers left to teach in Korea. She's home now & we had lunch last week. She brought this red gingham tape that she got there for me. It looks like ribbon but it is tape. Very cool product. And she knows me well...love my gingham stuff! Thanks Carla! I am enjoying it very much and can't wait to make something else with it. Thanks for stopping today. Blessings!!

Another new week! We are off to a good start. The sun is shining and the leaves are just beautiful today. All the pretty shades of reds, yellows & oranges. My favorite time of year. It won't be long though until winter makes it's appearance so enjoy it while you can!
Today's card is another Magnolia image. She is Peachy Tilda from the Yummy for your tummy collection. Isn't she cute? It's amazing how they are all the same yet different. Each one cuter than the last one! I colored her with my Copics and I added some flocking to the peaches so they would look fuzzy. This card looks much nicer in person. Not so "washed out". See you soon...until then, happy crafting!
