Hi Flower Card

I just love this card, I don't have it anymore, sent it to someone very special I am sure. I used the cuttlebug embossing folder and then rubbed over the top with chocolate ink. I also used a die cut for the flower, but I cut the back of the flower(brown part) free hand. Can you believe it, me, the person who can't cut with scissors for nothing!!!!!

2 posts, 1 day!!!

A new promotion for Close to My Heart (available Dec. 18-Jan 31st I think) is "Serendipity". Watch for details coming soon!! Here is a sneak peek at some cards I made with the set! It comes with a stamp set, die cuts, textured cardstock (yeah!) and patterned papers!! Love the papers and the die cuts. The stamp set is growing on me, I am sure I will learn to love it as I see more and more artwork done with it.

Live Turkeys on Thanksgiving

I saw these Turkeys on my way to Bev's for Thanksgiving. When I first spotted them they were closer to me, but as I pulled off the road to take a picture of them they were spooked just a bit and ran towards the brush. I snapped several pictures of them over 3 or 4 minutes Dixie decided to wake up from her snooze and bark at them, the Turkeys disappeared into the brush spared this Thanksgiving.

Mass production

I have been working on this project what seems like days. It's a little bag of handmade gift tags. 14 packages of 6, that 84 circle punches, 84 scallop punches, 84 ribbon ties, 84 stamped snowmen, 84 colored in hats, 84 holes punched, 14 packets made. I am very glad to be done!

Beauty Box

I saw on a blog some place someone had made a done this, so I can't take full credit. I pick up the gum in the store, and decided to give it a try. I just cut the box down, measured, and scored. Email me for the template.

Gift of Thanks for a Service person

Not to long ago Papercrafts was asking for projects "of Thanks". They wanted cards and gifts for all types of people. I created this box for them, but they didn't pick it. If you want the pattern for this box, email me and I will send it to you(it is simple to create). I made mine as a thank you gift for a solider. I was real proud of it. Here it is in honor of Veteran's Day!





Charlie is a Marine, over the weekend we were invited to a Marine Birthday Party, the Marines turned 232(I think) on Saturday. Here is a picture of the cake-it tasted good!!!


Happy Veteran's Day Everyone.

New Idea for Liquid Glass & Sculpting Foam

at least to me anyways. I entered a contest with CTMH on inventing a new technique, but mine was not a winner-So I will share with you!!

(Stamp image in sculpting foam, and let dry. Add Liquid glass to the "well" of the sculpting foam.)

Not a Snowflake

The Stamp of the Month has Snowmen and snowflakes. I did not think the snowflake looked like a snowflake. It came to me in the middle of the night what it did look like---Candy!!!
