Another Christmas Card

I have been making all kinds of cards this last week but have not had time to scan them in but I do have a Christmas card that I have not shown you. This snowman is a sticker with felt edges that I got last year at Hobby Lobby on clearance and so was the stamp. The snow is whisper white from Stampin Up and the card is DCWV.
I won't be posting for a week for we are going to Laurel Mississippi for a conference with the Fellowship that my husband has his Ministerial Licence though. So have a great week and will post again as soon as we get home.

Fall Is In The Air

It is a chilly fall day here in Indiana and the leaves are turning and the air is crisp and I just love this time of year.
The little town that we live in is gearing up for the start of a 10 day festival starting next Friday. It's called the Covered Bridge Festival for we have a lot of covered bridges within a few miles of each other. Each of these places have venders set up with there wares. Some of the farmers clear there corn fields just in time so they can rent them out for parking. They say that we have thousands of people from all over come to this . They even have a day off of school so that they can attend. We live only 3 blocks from the downtown square and that is where most of everything here is set up at and out at Billie Creek where the bridge is at. So we have to put up no parking signs in front of our place so we can even park our own cars. It's loads of fun and lots and lots of different food. So on to the card that I made several weeks ago so enjoy.
Stampin up card stock in Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze. Stamps are retired Touch of Nature by Stampin Up. Stampin up ink in Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze, ribbon and flowers are from Hobby Lobby
Stamped bird on branch first then colored it with ink and waterbrush then covered stamp design with a versamark pen and put clear embossing powder and heat set it. Then I stamped the leaves in Kiwi Kiss and Baja breeze then used my Fiskers oval templates and cut them out. and mounted them on a 41/4 x5 1/2 in card. Stamped leaves on envelope also.
Hope you are having a great day

Christmas Card

Well I'm beginning to think about Christmas and this Noel stamp is one that my husband found at a garage sale for me. In fact he found about 35 that day and I would say that half of them were never used. Plus there was card stock, card packets, embossing powder, 12 ink stamps(most of them had never been opened), stickers and he got it all for $25.00. Stamped this on Stampin Up Black card stock. Used Versamark and gold embossing powder. DP of embossed holly was from Hobby Lobby. Put on Kraft paper cards (they were in the box that my DH got for me). Inside of Card: Stamps were from Stampin Up sets, Sleigh Bells Ring and
Wondrous Gift.
Hope you have a wonderful day

Start of New Week

Here it is a start of another week. We are finally getting all of the boxes emptied and thing put away. I have had a few minutes to do some cards. This is a Christmas card that I did the snow is whisper white from stampin up which I tore and put Diamond Dust on the edges. The Penguins are wood elements that I got last year from Hobby Lobby.
Thanks for Looking

I Love This Stamp Set

As a teenager we lived in the state of Washington and our yard was full of different types of flowers and one of my favorites was our lilac bushes. So when I saw this stamp set from Stampin Up I had to have it.
Stamped the image on Whisper White with Stampin up Eggplant ink, Kiwi Kiss and Old Olive the lighter color is Brilliance pearlescent purple.
The Whisper White was put on Eggplant card stock. Elements and ribbon form Michaels.
The sentiment is from Stampin up and it says my friend.






This picture is the inside of the card.
This is Friday and we are getting ready to go clean the church. So have a wonderful day

Got My Scanner to Work

Here is a four note cards that I did before we started moving Wanted to share them with you. Each one is on Stampin up Card Stock and Stampin Up stamps, Some Dollars stamps, ribbon and elements from Michaels.
Stamped on watercolor paper from Stampin up with black Stazon ink and watercolored with Stampin up ink pads and water brush. This is a first for me and I am hooked. I also stamped the image on the envelope.
Have a great day
