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!

Fancy Tags Frame Card

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

It's raining here today & it's helping to melt some of this snow a little but it may cause other problems tonight if it freezes...so we're not looking forward to that.

Here is the other card that I made & mentioned in yesterday's post. I got the tutorial from Stamp TV...don't you just LOVE Gina's videos??? I have the link in yesterday's post if you want to take a look & try it for yourself. I luv how it turned out. Take care & have a great day!

Fancy Tag Birthday Card

Hello peeps!

I know, I know it's been awhile...what can I say! I'm still here & I've been working on birthday cards. I needed to make a few or should I say a whole lot for this month & well I figured I might as well make a bunch to fill up my stash for when I need one while I'm organizing my craft room. I'm almost done with making the birthday cards so the next step (hopefully next week) is to move everything out of the room, give it a good cleaning & start moving in the cubes that I bought from Michael's & put together...ALL by myself I might add. That was a job in itself but I did 2 or 3 a day so I wouldn't get blisters on my delicate hands...hehehe!!! Then I will start putting things in their proper place & labeling each drawer. I have things that I don't use because I don't know that I have it & then I'm looking for things that I know I have but can't find them. Do you do that? I'd like to hear about it so leave me a comment.

This card was created after I saw what Gina K did with these Fancy Tags die from Spellbinders (which I have) over on Stamp TV. I luv the look of it & I made another one, the one that she shows in her video but I'll save that one for tomorrow's post. I used the SU Artistic Etchings stamp set, I think the sentiment came from SU Well Scripted set & the Paper is from one of the Basic Grey 6x6 pads.

It's snowing here yet again today & another storm with a bigger punch will be here tomorrow...you know what that means more SNOW, Uggggggh!!! We have about 3 inches so far this morning but we are closer to the coast so we won't be as hard hit as the northern part of the state closer to Boston...only about 45 minutes away, they are expected to get a heck of a lot more. We have allot but they have much more so I consider that lucky for us! Where is SPRING, I need warmer weather!!! Well that's it for today so have a great one! Thanks for stopping by.






Stay warm & dry peeps!

Fore your Birthday

Hello Peeps!

Here is the birthday card that I made for Marc & I love how it turned out! I think it looked better in my mind but I have to say I think I did it justice...what do you think? The spiral didn't quite turn out the way I imagined & I cut a few of them out but couldn't get it just right & I wanted to do 2 spirals but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted so this is what I ended up with...not bad, I like it! I think Marc will like it. He won't get to see it till he returns home, he's on business in San Francisco next week & will be spending his birthday there. His birthday is Wednesday & I sure hope he gets to connect with one of his best friends from high school (who now lives in San Francisco)while he's out there.

The sentiment on the front is computer generated & the Golf sentiment inside is a Digi from Create with TLC. I also used some golf stamps from TAC & Stamping Bella.

Talk to you again soon.
