Look who was waiting for me after stamp group tonight! It's so nice to be loved!!!

Good morning! It's been a busy week around here! Not much time for crafting...but I had to get my act together because tonight is my turn to provide cards & materials for our stamp group. I hope they like them. We are doing 5 different ones! It is very "dark" around here today. Not complaining though because it is a comfortable temperature. So..my pictures aren't the best! These cards were made with a digital freebie but I cannot remember where I found it. It is a simple card and I used an embossed bazzill paper for the background. I have an apple scent that I am going to bring so they can make their cards smell yummy! reminds me that my favorite season is right around the corner. Thanks for stopping today. Have a good one!

Monday, monday...

Hello! Isn't it great to have a 3 day weekend?! Lots of extra time to enjoy doing what you love! Today's card is for the Squigglefly Challenge. We had to make a fall card with rolled flowers. That was something I had ever tried but it was pretty easy. You can find out how to make your own here. I thought this image was just too cute! I am a sucker for animals! Right now we have a stray kitten we are feeding. It will not let me touch it but I am hoping that soon I can so we can get it to a shelter & find a home. It is NOT coming into my house...it is already a zoo! But I don't want to see the poor kitty stuck outside in the winter. There are so many strays around here & they just keep having babies. sad...
Well enjoy whats left of your weekend...see ya soon!

Hello! I got to make another Tilda card!!! I missed making cards with her. I have just been so busy & have other cards I need to get done too. When I saw this stamp by Whipper Snapper I knew it would go perfect with "my girls". This card is going out as one of the birthday cards for someone in the Magnolia-licious yahoo group. I am on the team that sends them out on behalf of the group. I hope whoever gets it will like it! I also used one of Magnolias Doohickeys to cut the lace border. They are very nice and I hope to acquire some more when I get some extra money. Thanks for stopping. Hope your holiday weekend is filled with all good things!

Good Morning! How are you today? I was playing around with my stuff trying to make a vintage looking card. Not sure it turned out exactly as what I pictured... The stamp is a Tim Holtz stamp. I used an old book for the background paper & to make the flower. I distressed it with an"old paper" distress ink pad. I had a little black key on there but changed it out for silver. You couldn't even see the black one when it was there. I found these "lock & key" charms in the wedding dept. @ Hobby Lobby. I LOVE old things...I even have pictures (a whole bunch!) of people I don't know on my walls. They are from the late 1800's to early 1900's. I especially like the little girls who have the great big bows in their hair. I even have one in an oval frame with the bubble glass of an old looking soldier. Very cool... My husband thinks that is totally weird to have photos of people we don't know adorn our walls. I don't care. I think they are beautiful. Until next time...

Who let the dogs out..woof..woof..

Hello! Our local craft store had a sale on Cricut cartridges for 19.00. I was able to get the Paper Pups. It's a cute cartridge! So, last night I played with it and made these cards.

Stay cool today...our temps are still supposed to be in the 90's but tomorrow a cold front is coming through and going to bring the temps way down. Can't wait to shut off the air & enjoy some fresh air.

Thanks for visiting today. See you soon!

Hello there! I am so happy...I finally got to make a card with "my girls"! I just love Magnolia stamps. They are so fun to work with! This Tilda has gone shopping! She can be purchased here.

The boutique window can also be found here. The flowers were made with my Nellie Snellen flower punches (love those). The colors really do match but it doesn't look like it in this picture. I colored the purse charm with a Copic marker so it would match better. I also added a little sparkle & some clear glaze to accent the jewelry.Thanks for stopping. Have a good one!
