Season's Greetings

Hello! Wow, it has been almost a week since I have posted! Time has gone by so quickly with the holiday hustle. I hope all of you are winding down with your holiday shopping! I am soooo close. Going to do a few last minute things this afternoon. I am not sure I will get back here before Christmas so I wanted to share possibly the last Christmas card! This was an easy peasy card! I let my designer paper do the work for me. This paper was some I had purchased from our local scrapbooking store prior to it closing down. It was a Murdock Country Creation called Winter Day...12x12 sheet. I added some glitter to the snow...matted it on some Gina K paper...stamped a sentiment...easy peasy! And quite beautiful! I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas...and to thank you for the wonderful year you have given me! Thanks to each and every one of you for all the love and support!

HUGS!

My First Tent Card

Good morning all!! Well I decided to show you my first attempt at a tent card...I know they have probably been around awhile...but you all know I am a little behind!!! Well, maybe a LOT behind! All of the paper, ribbon and stamps used on this card were from Gina K...how pretty the colors are! Colored with copic markers and cut out with nestabilities. The flowers are from my stash and I believe I had purchased them at Hobby Lobby.

A little off subject here...BUT....I wanted to let you all know that in a few days, I will be posting some candy for my first anniversary of blogging! Yep...it has been a whole year already...and I want to thank each and every one of you for all your kindness and love that you have left me! I have thought several times that I may continue to make cards and hang up blogging. For now, I am going to stick with it. So....be sure to stop back in on Sunday...I will be going to CHA on Saturday and plan to hopefully pick up some candy to post on Sunday! Have an awesome day and thank you so much for stopping in to see me!

HUGS!

NEWS!

Hello Ladies! Oh I have some news to share with you! I have been honored to join not one but TWO new design teams this week! First I have been asked to design for Glitterbabe at Glitterbabe's Challenge! Stef has some awesome images and I can't wait to work with her...be sure to drop over and join in the fun at the Challenge Blog...we will be doing weekly challenges and of course there are going to be PRIZES! Second...I am now a new member of the Squigglefly DT! My term will be from July through December. Holy moly! They also have the most awesome images as well! Be sure to go out and check their store if you haven't been there! The variety and versatility of the images is awesome! I am anxious to begin my new duties and hope you will join in on all the fun at both places! Thanks so much to Glitterbabe and Squigglefly for having me!

OOOOPS! Bet you want to see a card today!!! Well I do have one for you!

Today's card uses another one of Gina K's stamps...the butterfly...I stamped the large butterfly several times to give it a "shadowed" look and then randomly stamped the smaller ones. The embossed background was created using one of my Spellbinders Impressabilities..inked. I love how it turned out...very deeply debossed! I have heard that some users have been disappointed in the way these emboss and deboss...I found that the trick to getting a good imprint is to run it through my cuttlebug more than one pass...after several passes it makes an awesome image. It just depends on your paper thickness how many times you need to pass it through. Don't give up using them! Once I discovered this, I will use mine more often now. The border that I used was a MS punch that I created 2 of and put them together covering up the join with a ribbon.

Well hope you enjoyed this card...and hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I hope to get to play this weekend...will be off to see you all and catch up with you too. Thanks tons for coming by!

HUGS!

A Little Birdie Told Me!

Good morning! Well I am trying to get back into the swing after our weekend at the convention...geez, I didn't realize how much I bought! I am actually a little overwhelmed with all the new goodies but I am slowly getting them organized so that I can start playing with them! The card for today was actually created before my weekend away...and I am just getting it posted. Isn't it a cutie? The card base was cut using a file from Mary at mawmawslegacy...I love that flower border. My stamped image is from Gina K...and I am sure your recognize all the other goodies....cuttlebug embossing and nestabilities! The ribbon is from SU. Hope you enjoyed your visit today and have an awesome day! The sun is shinning so brightly today and that is such a welcome after all the rain we have had over the last few days! I am off to see you all....thanks so much for stopping in to see me!

HUGS!
