Vintage Silhoulette

Good morning, thought I'd post one I made last night, I got the image from Free Vintage Clip Art I found on Pinterest.  they have several I just loved and you will be seeing them later.  I am going to enter this at the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge to use dies and punches,  Don't think I have ever entered a card over there so......  I use Spellbinders dies and Martha Stewart's Deco punch.  That's about it, gotta get ready and get to the dentist, I hate going even though I know all they are gonna do is clean, still hate it.  So until I drop by your blog later................

Spring

Morning lovely people! Looks like the rain has stopped, hate going to work in the rain LOL, but we did need it. Here is another card I made this past weekend, see I just don't have time during the week any more so I make em and post later hehe. I used Great Impressions stamp with versa mark then clear embossing powder, all the paper is from the scrap basket, yes some pieces are large, the card card base is new, it's 5 x 7, I love that size of card. The ribbon is also the last little piece of that, the butterfly I cut out using Heartfelt Creations Decorative Butterfly-border die HCD702. That bout does it, it's my friday today and get to top it off witha movie trip, think we are gonna go see Mirror Mirror, so it's gonna be a good day! Yall have a blessed day and I'm off to comment on all of your gorgeous creations!

Gentle Thoughts of You

Morning, I should of posted this last night, I'm so sleeply LOL. Lets see, it's another older set from Stampin Up, Garden Collage. I also used SU embossing folder, forget the name, and then Martha Stewart's Spiral Arches . It looks like I stitched down the side and around the image but not, it's fake LOL. The flower came on a card I got from Kelly, it fell off so I saved it and thought I'd use it here, matched the colors perfect. Okay, off to drink my coffee and eat my oatmeal, maybe I'll wake up and come back to visit all your wonderful blogs..........God bless

2 for 1

Yep, here is 2 cards for one challenge. I went over and checked out the challenge at The House that Stamps Built, it's to make a card with birds. So I pulled out some of my Heartfelt Creations stamps (3383 Cardinal Posy Branch and the sentiment is from 3388 Spring Cardinals) and went to work. Then went back and was just looking around the site to see what else they had and guess what, I have 7 of their flip card sets. How to can be found here. One which is the bird, so I made a card using that one too! You know me, can't leave it plain so I embossed the background with the flip card, anywho, wish me luck and thanks Cheri for the inspiration to check that site out!!!!

Happy Birthday

Good Morning World! It's a great day to be alive in southwest Virginia. It's gonna be warm with lots of sunshine!!!! The frost this past week didn't hurt anything except my big leaf hosta's, they get bite every year, I may move them and get them closer to the house.
For my birthday this year I got a store bought card from a friend and I loved the fold, so I tried my hand at it and this is what I came up with. I started out with a 8.5 x 11 sheet of white card stock, trimmed it down to 10 x 7 and used Martha Stewart's Modern Garland border punch on both sides. then I cut some Stampin Up paper and glued it down in all 3 sections. the first part is 5x7, then the second section is scored at the 8 inch score line on the score pal. I then punched some white using MS Spiral Arches and glued it down to the center section.The image is from Inky Antics which I colored with Prisma Color Pencils. Added flowers I punched out and fern and yep, MS punches again. I should buy stock in her company LOL, love those punches. Okay that's it for now, yall take card, have a blessed day and I'll catch up later!

Hugs to You

Howdy! Here's one for no reason, I just wanted to play, started and this is what I ended up with. I used scrapbook paper from K & Company, cut it down and used the whole sheet cause it's 2 sided, I used gina K stamps Fruitful Harvest and Signs of Autumn. Martha Stewart flower punch and the Layered Arches border punch. For the sntiment I cut it out with Spellbinders classic oval and scalloped oval. I figured this could be used for most any thing...........anyway. Went to WW this morning, I have lost a total of 22.8 now, starting to drop off slower........but at least I'm lossing. Making it 17.8 yet to lose to get back to goal weight!~!!! I gained so much when i stopped smoking, but it was worth it! Okay, lets go comment and I'll catch up later!!!

Playing around

I got new toys from Stampin Up last week and I was playing around last night and this is what I came up with, I love the new embossing folder...........it's called Vintage Wallpaper, the oval is new too, it's called Impressions Designer Frames, the sentiment is a older SU stamp and I also added the Fanciful Flourish by Cherry Lynn. That's it, yall have a great day and I'll catch up later!!!

Tri Fold Birdie

Christ died for our sins...he was buried...he rose again the third day according to the scriptures...After that he was seen of above five hundred brethren. I Corinthians 15:3-4,6. The reason for the season............
My card is another sihouette for Craft A Scene. I used heartfelt Creations Old Mill Creek 1227G, a Doe from Life Is Good by Theresa Momber and the other 2 are from Stampscapes. I colored it using Prisma Color Pencils, then i matted it using Spellbinders Labels One. I used the same card stock and punched out the flowers, added black pearls to the center and then attached to the Fanciful Flourish from Cherry Lynn die. My card is also 5 X 7. I hope your Easter and week is full of blessing..............

Bunny Baskets

Long time no see, sorry I have been missing all week, you just have no idea what's been going on! Busy busy, just not enought time some times. I did manage to make 5 of these cute little bunny baskets, I 'll take these with me tomorrow to Bill's Mom for Easter. Yes, I will add candy LOL. I used K & Company paper, cut it 6x6, scored at 2 and 4, turned and scored at 2 and 4 againg, marked the center, which was 3 and cut a triangle up to the score line, then cut 3 times, glued and ta da, I used Spellbinders to cut the face, and ears. I had the eyes so used thoses, and added the bow. I have seen them where they used 2 of the Stampin Up oval punches and doubled the ears, but I don't have those so.............Hope you have a wonderful Easter, I'll post again in the morning but I'm preposting it...........sorry I haven't been around to comment, I'll work on that to. Have a good one.............

Craft A Scene challenge #4 - Sihouette

Are you ready for another Craft A Scene challenge? This month it's Sihouettes. Look at this amazing image!!!!! When I first saw it I fell in love. I got it from Carolines Creative Stamps, which by the way is our sponsor this month. Be sure and check her out, she is fantastic with gorgeous images to choose from! All I did was layer the tree branch, and then layer the fairy onto it. Resized it to the size I wanted and tada, print it out. Super easy! I sponged the blue for the sky and added glitter to the wing. the back ground is dry embossed with Kassie's Brocade and swirly pearls. I also used Spellbinders Lacey Circle.
