Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017 Another end of a Month

Well, things were kinda rough the last few days as my hard drive that was 7 years old, bit the dust.  So lucky to have a wonderful computer guy that came and picked up my computer and in one day got a new hard drive put in and copied everything to the new one, so I am up and running once again.  Yippeee

At least I was able to get a couple of cards made so I could post once again after my pc was good to go. I hope you will have a good weekend, as I plan on doing so.

9.26.2017 Door with a Hello

Can you tell how pleased I am with this new door die?  Such a fun way to decorate a card! The Hello sentiment was gifted to me, and it is such a nice addition to this card.

I am grateful if you would leave me a comment!

9.24.2017 Another door, but with Cats this time

I played with the door die and more screening, in addition to a couple of cats, to imitate the front of my house.  I sure hope you enjoy looking at these cards as I have had making them.

Are you enjoying your weekend??

09-23-2017 Ready for Halloween?

I am really loving the new dies I got from the Joan's Gardens store and I hope you enjoy seeing what I made. I added the pumpkins from a Gina K. Designs set to make this more of a Fall card! I just adore this screen door- fun working with them!

Friday, Sept. 22, 2017 My cats in the Yard

I just got this cat die and couldn't wait to put it to use!
I made a background trying to replicate my yard for the cats to ,  play in  with trees and background from Gina K. Designs. Very happy that you came to check out this creation.

Thurs. 09-21-2017 MOD Squad Challenge

Use leaves on this card!

Stamped some Gina K. stamps and added some die cut Spellbinder ones, that I sponged with Distress inks.  I added some gold twine and and strip of metallic CS along with the Sending Love sentiment.  Finished this CAS card in short order! This is supposed to be Fall related but it is 92 degrees here in Wisconsin today.  I actually had to turn on the A/C today.

Enjoy your day.

9.18.2017 F4A395 Encouraging Words for Splitcoast and STV17MON38.

I made this card for Splitcoast Stampers Challenge for Encouraging Words F4A395, and for STV17MON38- Uplifting Words.   The stamps used were from the Gina K Design sets called Made with Love and Massive Messages. Cool that it worked for both challenges!

9.12.2017 Vintage F4A394

Oh the 1970's colors- do you remember?  Very vintage and very retro!  I made this for the F4A394 for the Splitcoast Stampers challenge.  Were you old enough to remember this color palette?  My parents had these colors in their kitchen with the appliances to match! I had just graduated from high school. The first stove and dishwasher we bought after my husband and I married was the coppertone ones.

F4A394

  Ages ago!

Sun. Sept.10, 2017 Snowman Love

Here is another Winter card as we are getting ready for a change in the seasons!  I stamped the Gina K. Designs snowman from the Warm Winter Wished set by Carolyn King, This may be a discontinued stamp set but I am not sure.   It does make for some very cute holiday cards, right?

Memento ink was used to stamp the image and then it was colored with some Copic markers finished this little guy--- so easy!

Saturday, Sept. 9. 2017 JUGS Trend Week 410

Water Color Blocks it is and this is my contribution.  After I stamped the water color blocks I added a silhouette bird and greenery to the card front.  Trend Week 410 was the motivation for me after my sweet friend showed me her card this morning.This is for the Just Us Girls 410 Trend Week Challenge.

This is rather different than the cards I usually make, but it was lots of fun making this one.  I added the sentiment to wish a Happy Birthday to the recipient.

Thank you for taking a look!

Wed. Sept. 6, 2017 A Christmas Inspiration for my Card

Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017 STVKC#37 Happy Fall

I made this card for the Fall Challenge  at Gina K. Designs.  I sure like this plaid DP with all the added leaf die cuts, that I sponged and decorated to make this Autumn card.  This is for STVKC#37.

Friday, 9-1-2017 The 1st day of September, already

 Happy September- and it's a Friday too!

I guess I needed to start thinking about the upcoming Holiday Season, so here is my Christmas card to start things off.

With a Spellbinders Lattice background I added the GKD (Theresa Momber) poinsettia images colored with Copic Markers.  Some glitter for the flower centers added some sparkle to spruce things up a bit.  I die cut the Lattice frame out of white CS but sponged it with Distress ink, for added dimension.  Thank you for stopping by today.
