Last Sympathy Card

Hello peeps!

I love how this card came out. To me it has a gentle calming feel to it & a beautiful elegance about it. What do think?

Next week I'll have a few wedding & bridal shower cards for you that a friend asked me to make for her son's upcoming wedding. So take care & I will meet you all back here next week. Have a great weekend & thanks for dropping by today.








Happy stampin' peeps!

Sympathy Cards Part 2

Hi Peeps!

Here are two more sympathy cards that I made for my stash. It's a good thing to have these extra cards on hand so you don't have to make them at the last minute.

Have a great day & stay cool! Thanks for dropping by & visiting me, I love your company & your comments!








Happy Stampin' peeps!

Memories keep our Loved ones close

Hello Peeps!

Hope your all staying cool in this hot weather. I don't know what I would do without my AC but today was a beautiful dry day, so I got to open all the windows & aired out my house, it felt soooo good to have some fresh cool air come in this morning. The humidity returns tomorrow.

Well on to reason you dropped by. I have two sympathy cards for you today, same design but different colors. I hope you like them, I will have 2 more for you tomorrow & then 1 more gorgeous card for you on Thursday & that will wrap up the sympathy cards before moving on to something else.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!

Gold Embossed Sympathy Cards

Happy Friday!!!

This is the last of the Sympathy cards, next up will be Anniversary cards. Stay tuned for that & a technique called Mother of Pearl that I saw on Dawn's blog that I love! So I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I used gold embossing powder to heat set these gorgeous cards...what do you think?

Top Note Sympathy Card

Good mornin' peeps!

I went to Newport & met up with a bunch of my friends and former co-workers last night. We had dinner at my fav place (you know I had my favorite dish... the seafood platter) we caught up with all the news & there was a lot of news. There were 7 of us, some cancelled at the last minute. We had a great time, it's so wonderful when we get together & we need to do it more often, maybe twice a year...how about it girls???

Well onto today's card. The ones we hate to make, but is much easier when we make them ahead of time & put them in our stack for when we DO need them. I had made this one before & it's a favorite of mine...plus it's fast & simple to make. I used the top note die & then embossed with the Manhattan flower folder. Put dimensionals on the back added a ribbon & flower along with a sentiment & was done. The card stock is PTI Rustic Cream...I LOVE this CS.




Thanks for stopping by...I'm so glad you did!!!

Plain & Simple

Good morning peeps!

Today's cards are plain & very simple & I love them! Sometimes you just have to do some of these simple ones to clear your head & take it easy before moving on & trying new things. I have a few cards that I made with Dawn Griffith's "Mother of Pearl" technique. I'll show you that sometime this week & add a link to her tutorial in the post, your going to love this one!

Thanks for stopping by today & have a great day!








While I was on a clean & simple kick, I decided to do this birthday card too.

Sympathy Card

Hi Everyone!

Well the morning was a little snowy...not much but now the sun is shinning & we hope to melt some of this snow today before the next storm on Saturday. Yep, you heard right, another storm...this really is the "Winter from Hell"!!! I thought I would brighten things up a little around here so I got me a NEW Valentine background to help cheer me up from the winter time blues...how do you like it, does it cheer you up too?

Well I needed to make a sympathy card for one of my loyal readers & friend who lost her mother recently & this is what I came up with, I sure hope she likes it & I hope I got to put a little smile on her face.

Now I'm off to make another birthday card & hopefully this weekend I can find the time to make my honey a valentine card. Have a great day!




Happy Stamping Peeps!

I'm Back!!!

Hello Peeps!

So sorry its been awhile but I was having computer issues, it's still not fully resolved but it's better. I hope to buy myself a laptop for my birthday & hope to bring it with me when I go on vacation in April. Speaking of birthday's, I can't believe I'm going to be the BIG 60 in April & when I say that, I mean that I am truly DEVASTATED about this number. I have never been bothered by age before, it didn't bother me when I turned 30, 40 or 50 I always said its just a number but....60 oh my, now that is an age I DON'T want to be. I guess I could look at it like I'm glad & thankful that I'm still here, well I guess I'm going to have to start lying about my age from now on, I think I'll be 45 from now on...EVERY year! Hahaha!!!

I had to make a sympathy card for a friend a few weeks ago, she lost her mother & I never seem to have any cards on hand. I find that these cards are the most difficult to make. Does that happen with you too when it comes to sympathy cards? I need to make some so I can have them on hand, it's never easy to make them when you have to...note to self "make sympathy cards", that goes on my to do list. I cased this card from Gina K on Stamp TV, I just adjusted my measurements for the main image & I love how this card turned out. I think I'm going to make more with this design.

I have been working on my niece's wedding programs for her April wedding in California, I'm making 40 of them this time (that's not so bad)& they are the exact same design that I made for my son's wedding, Joyce loved them so much that she was hoping I would make them for her & of course I was happy to do so. I can't wait to go out west & I hope to connect with Maria for lunch or something while I'm out there, I can't wait to meet you Maria!

Well that's all for today gang, I hope you have a great Sunday & enjoy the "Super Bowl"!

Sympathy Card

Hi all!

I want to make a few sympathy cards to have on hand when I need them & for every card that I make I'm also making one for Jessica & Sarah for their card tins that I gave them for Christmas which I didn't have time to fill with cards. Here is one that I made this weekend with Pam (hi Pam...a few more days till your cruise!) I luv this Calla Lilly stamp from the Little Paper Shop & its great for this type of card.
I still have so much to catch up on & need to get my act together but hey at least I got my mojo back!

Well this post is short but sweet so until tomorrow folks! Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!

Sympathy Card

Hi everyone!

Wow 2 posts in one day...Amazing!!!

Looks like we are going to get more snow tomorrow, it already looks grim out there. I know a lot of you are in a deep freeze & I hope you are all staying warm & healthy.

So sorry that I didn't get to post yesterday but we ended up going out all day & when I got home I didn't feel like posting. Here is the card I promised that I would post on Monday so I'm a day late & a dollar short! Hehehe!!! I really need to make a stack of sympathy cards to have on hand so that I don't have to feel so sad when I HAVE to make them. This one is for a good dear friend who lost her mother recently & no one (from where we used to work) told us about it till after the funeral, I hate that because Dan & I would have been there for her...out of sight out of mind as the saying goes. Anyway onto my card.
