Hello all! It has been a long time since I have posted. A lot has gone on with me both physically and emotionally that has taken me away from my passion of card making and creating! I hope to be back creating in some form some day soon but until then, know I do miss all of you. I thought I would share a pic that I took of one of the flowers in my garden. Hope you all have a wonderful day and are staying safe and cool!

HUGS!

Justrite Prayers Go Up

Well it is hard to believe that another year has gone by. I wanted to say thank you to all that have supported me throughout the year! Today I had some time that I rarely get anymore to create a special card...goes out to all my blogging friends. I pray the coming new year will keep us all in good health and surround us with many blessings! The stamp I used is from the JustRite Kaleidoscope set. I added lots of bling as you can see! The shimmery silver paper that I used for my trim and the die cut is from Pizzazz Aplenty...although it is hard to get a good picture of this shimmery paper. Not much on my agenda until later on tonight...sitting with 2 of my grandchildren for the New Year after church...what better way to bring in the New Year than with our grandchildren! Again, thanks for all your support this year and best wishes to each and every one of you for a healthy and happy new year!

Then to finish framing out the center frame, I used  iridescent string of pearls  from Pizzazz Aplenty. Ohhh and of course I had to add a little Stickles to the grass. :):)

Squigglefly Kris Kringle

 

Good morning! This morning I have a Squigglefly image to share with you...meet Kris Kringle! Is this the most awesome image or what???? The image is shaded so lovely that there is really no need for coloring but I chose to color his hat and the berries in his poinsettia. Also added a little glitter to the ball on his hat. The sentiment is computer generated by moi. I love this so much that I actually made 3 cards using this same image! Ohhh and I have to share that all the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...I just ordered some more of that awesome red card stock that feels like velvet...really honestly it just makes the card feel so expensive! The silver paper is some of Pizzazz Aplenty's shimmer card stock. How is that for some Pizzazz??!! Thank you so much for stopping by today...AND leaving some love! Each of you know that I will be by to see you as well...can't wait to see what you have today! Have a great day!

Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons

If you are here to play in the Doodle Pantry Blog Hop, click here for that link. How are you all today? I am tired...I feel like time sprang ahead instead of falling back! Well, I have another Christmas card for you today! This one is using the Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons set. And I colored this one myself! I have not colored for a while so thought I had better pull those Copics out before they dry out on me! After adding a few stickles to the image, I mounted it on some shiny gold cardstock and placed it on the base card on top of that awesome die cut. The die cut is called Cathedral Lace from Cheery Lynne Designs. I had lots of fun creating this card...forgot how much I enjoyed coloring. This post is short and sweet today...off to get some much needed chores done! Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing part of it with me!
