Tis the Season

Today is a beautiful sunny morning here in the Midwest. Yesterday it was cold and raining but the sun is shining today. Starting to make plans for Thanksgiving. How about you? We usually put our tree up Thanksgiving day after all the festivities especially when the boys were home. When we lived in the Bay area we would go to Pier 39 for the lighting of the Christmas Tree which started the Christmas Season. I really love this time of year. So I have a couple more cards to share with you today

The card is kraft paper cards that my husband got at a garage sale for me. Santa stamped on Whisper white card stock,matted on black CS. Stamp and CS are both from Stampin Up Ribbon and buttons are from Walmart.

This card is on Baja Breeze, matted on DP from Hobby Lobby. Snowman is stamped on Whisper white and colored with markers all from Stamping Up. The Matting behind the Snowman is a hologram paper made at a company I used to work for. Ribbon and snowflake is from Dollar Tree.

Have a great day.

Shaker Card

Card made out of Stampin Up Whisper white CS. Stamped with Stampin Up stamps. Colored with watercolors. Peeloffs from the UK and I don't know where I got the ribbon. This is my first shaker card and it was fun to make. Use a little to much glitter but that's one of my faults I LOVE`GLITTER. We have had a very exciting week full of great news but not able to share here as of yet. Hope everyone has a great day

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
