Happily Ever After

Hi, again!

Well, the 3-5 inches of snow turned into 9.8 inches of heavy wet snow & sleet & ice.  Not the nicest of weekends we have had lately, that's for sure!  Thank heavens for snow blowers! My fingers & toes are crossed that this was the last hurrah for winter!!

I'm sharing a wedding card today.  I thought it would be nice to post something "love" related as this is my daughter & son-in-law's wedding  anniversary.  And if anyone deserves the happily ever after, it is those two. They are both extraordinary people & perfect for each other.  Bet you can't tell that I love them both can you? 

I decided to use one of my favorite Spellbinder dies to make this one.  And I added more cutouts with yet another one.  The stamp was from Hampton Arts & the flowers from my stash. 

Have a wonderful week!  Catch you later!

Hunker Down!

Well, here we go again.  Another winter storm approaching again.  I have seen several different versions of how much rain/snow we are to get.  The last one said the rain will turn over to snow after midnite & we will see 3-6 inches by morning with another 2 in the morning.  Another station shows the snow lasting until midnite tomorrow nite.  Who really knows!  I just hope it is the LAST snow storm of the winter!  When you turn your clocks ahead that is supposed to mean spring is here!

Tonite I have another thank you card.  This stamp is from a Flourishes set that I love a lot.

I used an embossing folder for the card front to get that lace look I love so much!  I added a little glitter to the flowers just for fun.

If the snow materializes as promised, that will be a good excuse to stay in the house & work on cards all day.  I'll be back later with something new to share.  I have a lot of new cards to photograph yet.

Catch you later!

Is it Spring yet?

Oh, tell me that Spring is almost here!  The sun came out today & it actually got to 47 degrees!  I know it is going to rain tomorrow afternoon, but I couldn't help it.  I just had to stop & wash the car! At least I will be able to see out the windows for part of a whole day! ha ha

Tonite I have a  thank you card to share.  One of my old favorite stamps from Stampin Up.  I adore hedgehogs.  They are just so sweet.

I cut this cutie out with a Marianne Design die & added some corner flowers with an old EK Success punch. The paper was from Recollections.  

Better get busy.  I downloaded a couple of new digi's last nite & want to get them colored up.

Catch you later!

Let's celebrate baby boys!

Hi,
Last nite we did a baby girl card so I guess we have to do something for the boys tonite!  I actually have a couple of them.



The first one is created with an old stamp set from Inkadinkado.  The sentiment is one from an old Stampin Up set that I've used again & again.  The beautiful train border was a strip from Jolee's Boutique.

 

 

 

This one was done with a set of babies from Stampin Up & the border here was also from Jolee's Boutique. 

 

 

I hope your day was amazing & your week is off to a good start!  Catch you later!



Oh, baby!

Hi,

I hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend.  I finally got caught up on all my chores & got groceries & gas so I can spend the rest of the afternoon working on cards.   I have a baby card to share today.  This one is for a girl, but tomorrow I will share a couple for the boys so they won't feel left out.

I borrowed this stamp from my friend & neither of us have any idea whose it is so I can't give them credit for it.  She got it years ago as a "freebie" from Addicted to Rubber Stamps when they used to throw in pieces of hard candy & a free unmounted stamp with your order.  I thought it would be a great girl card & added some lace from one of Martha's beautiful punches. 

 

They are forcasting some nasty weather for us beginning today.  Rain & snow today, rain/snow & that wonderful "wintery mix" they love to throw in for tonite & then snow tomorrow morning & more "wintery mix" tomorrow afternoon, then back to snow until Wed.  Sounds just lovely, doesn't it? I'm counting the MINUTES until spring gets here!

 

Have a safe week.  I'll be back tomorrow with something for the boys! 

Feeling beary sick again?

I have a hard time resisting this furry critter.  Who wouldn't love a bear in a fuzzy housecoat & bunny slippers? 
This is the "female" version of the sick "boy"  bear I posted a while back from Mo's digis.

 

The paper is from my stash & I cut her out with a Marianne Design die. 

 

Better get busy so I can still get in a few turns of Words with Friends with my son-in-law, who ALWAYS beats me!  It's depressing! lol 

 

Catch you later!  Have a wonderful Friday!!!!!



Picnic anyone?

Hi,

Well, it isn't warm enough for a picnic yet, but at least it isn't snowing!  So let's pretend it is already picnic weather, shall we?  Tonight I have another birthday card to share.  One of my favorite sets from Paper Trey, I believe.  I paper pieced the picnic basket with some of my favorite gingham paper & colored it with Prismacolor brush markers. 

A very simple card, but I like the uncluttered look sometimes.  I seem to struggle when I try getting too fussy!

Have a great Thursday!  Catch you again later!

Think spring!

Hi, everyone!

Today, I'm thinking spring!  It is still cold & there is still snow on the ground, but I'm tired of winter & ready for a nice sunny day & some flowers popping up out of the ground.  So, I've decided to post a spring-like card to set the mood. 

Don't you love Sassy Cheryl digi's?  They are so happy!  The paper was from my stash & I added a lace border with one of my old favorite border punches from Martha.

Have a great Wednesday!  Tomorrow is hump day already!  YEAAA!!

Catch you later!

Let's Go For A Ride!

Hi, again!

Tonight I have another birthday card that reminds me of years ago when I had a bike much like this one.  That was well before I ever learned to drive & I bet  I put hundreds of miles on that bike!  This die was one I got for my birthday from my daughter.  I thought it would be the perfect "guy" card!

I cut it out twice.  Once from silver paper & once from red cardstock. The background paper was from a 6 X 6 pad made by Farmhouse Paper Company & the sentiment was from Whipper Snapper.

I hope you had a great Monday & I'll be back tomorrow with something new.

A Birdie Told Me!

Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Don't they seem to go faster than the week?  I'm guessing you will all agree with me on that.

I've been really busy the past few days & have over 20 new cards to post. (And still working on more)
Tonight I've got a birthday card.  The digi is from Sassy Cheryl.  If you haven't visited her digi store, you need to.  She is also going to start offering her images in rubber for those of you who prefer that form.

I used something different on this card.  If you look closely, I didn't use DP on this card, I used some adhesive backed fabric that my daughter got me & I had been hoarding waiting for just the right time.  It's fun to try out different things from time to time.

I may have to quit working on cards for awhile to watch the Oscars.  Between the gowns & some of the outrageous things people say, it is usually entertaining. But somehow when they ask the MEN who they are wearing & incredibly they actually KNOW, I always want to start laughing.  Most men wouldn't know OR care!

Catch you tomorrow!  Have a great Monday!!
