Thanks so much!!

With American Thanksgiving next week, many challenges have Thanksgiving or thank you card as the theme.  I made a thank you card.   I love Thanksgiving and am very thankful for the many blessings I have in my life, but I've just never sent Thanksgiving cards.  I do use a lot of thank you cards, though! 

Challenges...
Sentimental Sundays #128 - Thanks/Thanksgiving
Simon Says Stamp - Thanksgiving/Thank you
Paper Pretties Monday PPMC65 - make a thank you card
Wags 'n Whiskers #92 - Be Thankful
CASology #19 - Thanks (not sure if distress ink eliminates it from being CAS)
Shopping Our Stash #77 - Thank You or Thanksgiving

I used a variety of my stash... Basic Grey DP and Paper Studio adhesive pearls that I've had for a long time, PTI stamp I got as blog candy, Darice Ivy embossing folder I recently purchased with birthday money, and Spellbinders.  I use some of them for almost EVERY project!!

Tuesday Morning Sketch - tear bear

Time for Tuesday Morning Sketch #172!!  It's such a fun challenge this week, too!!   Our sponsor is  The Beary Scrap...

This week is a judged challenge.  That means follow the sketch and the twist in order to win!  We also choose a Top 5 in our judge challenge!   

The sketch...

The twist...

Create an animal with punches or make a tear bear!!

(If you're not sure what to do, Google "punch animal" or 
"tear bear" and you'll find ideas.  You need mulberry paper for a 
tear bear,  but any paper will work for a punch animal.  It is amazing 
what  you can make with plain old circles from a punch!!)

Here's my card...

After my bear was together, I realized I had not inked my edges. :(

 I have always thought tear bears were so cute but all the mulberry paper I had was so thin that it would not work.  Soooooo... I  purchased some mulberry paper (from The Beary Scrap) in order to make a proper tear bear.   I did not use a Beary Scrap pattern... I eyeballed it and made my own circles and then fluffed the paper.  It is so fun!!!   The Beary Scrap has much more than just tear bear patterns and mulberry paper, so be sure to check them out!!

I've been using my supplies on hand and have not spent any money on crafting for awhile as we are trying to watch our pennies.   I was able to shop because the sweet ladies at my church gave me money for crafting for my birthday!!   I'm having great fun spending it!!   The other day, our family went out and I made everyone go through the line so I could use lots of coupons! :)

It's a boy!

Tonight, we are having a shower for 3 ladies in our church.  Two have already delivered and the third could go anytime!  [ I hope she waits until after the shower!! :) ]

I thought I had enough cards but when I looked yesterday, I realized I had to make one!  So I printed the digi paper from Daydream Designs Bitty Baby Boy Designer Digi Papers and the image from Daydream Designs Bitty Baby Boy Color Set.

I used the digi paper and image, a bit of MME Sweater Weather DP, Kraft, Inkadinkado sentiment, and ribbon from my stash.

I used the sketch from iSpy Sketches: ISSC41.

It's not the first child for any of them, so we are giving them a money gift so they can use it for whatever they may need, but I wanted them to have a little something to "open" so made them these bundles...

It had wipes, matching onesie and pants set, wash cloths, and burp cloths wrapped in a receiving blanket.

The stork and baby are cut from New Arrival at 5 1/2".  The name is Lyrical Letters welded.  I have another one in purple since we don't know if the soon-to-arrive baby is boy or girl.  I did not put any clothes in it so it looks much smaller than these.  I will give her an IOU! :)

Christmas Sweater

Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, the UK, and Australia, and Veterans Day in the USA.  Thank you to all those who have served and those who are serving to keep us free!!

No, I'm not showing you any weird Christmas sweater!!  Just a quick post of a Christmas card that should have happened last night.   On Monday, I got MME's Christmas Sweater 6x6 pad and love it!!!
When I saw this week's sketch at Merry Monday (#40), I really liked it and thought I would use it this week to make several similar cards.  I have been making cards all along the year but most of them are not going to mail well and this sketch would look great with "flat" cards.  I only got one done! :/  Better than none, but I'll keep it and make more as I really like it!

I used MME Sweater Weather DP.  Love this 6x6 pad!!  I embossed the panels.  If you look close, some are "backwards" since it is 2 sided and I kept changing my mind on which side to use!  Maybe I'll use the other combos in others. Faded jeans distress ink on the edges and image, stamp from Michaels $1 bin, and Iridescent embossing powder.  You can see a bit of the shimmer on the stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!!

The better half's birthday

Tomorrow, my wonderful husband gets one year older!  Actually, he will only be one day older than he is today, but tomorrow is that official change-of-age day!  He'll be 46.  Yep, he's a year younger than I am, and he loves to remind me of it, too! 

We took him out for dinner this evening since our daughter has to work tomorrow.  We are saving his "birthday cake" for tomorrow... but it's not a cake!   My family doesn't usually ask for the normal birthday cake.  It might be Turtle or Oreo cheesecake or homemade cinnamon rolls or French Silk Pie!!!  My hubby loves coconut so he is getting a Coconut Cream Pie! 

Here's his card...

It says "You're mine... hook, line and sinker!"  I obviously pressed the stamp too much!  Hard to tell when stamping with Versamark. :/  The front is 'fun' but the inside is more romantic!

~MME Sweater Weather DP
~Mulberry Wood "Gone Fishing" image (I got this free from Crafter's Companion with my order a couple of weeks ago!!  Thank you, CC!!!)
~Stampendous embossing powder
~Stars embossing folder
~sentiment on tag from There She Goes "Bear Hugs"
~ribbon, brad, tag from stash

Challenges...
Cards for men #23 - anything goes
Crafter's Companion November challenge - favourite colour combo + must use CC product  (Hard to choose but I have always loved navy/white!  My stamp is from CC)
Twisted Tuesday 2TC31 - Guys week "Bring on the tools" use tool image, etc. or use tools (I used my heat gun and Cuttlebug)

Thanks for dropping by!!!

Joy to the World!!

Christmas is coming!!  (Only 47 days!!)  My oldest has started listening to Christmas music already.  Not all of the rest of the family is ready for it yet, but I love it!  I could hear the carols a million times and never get tired of them!   

I love "Joy to the World"!!  Did you know that Isaac Watts wrote it with the second coming of Christ in mind and not His birth?  I think it works for both!!  (And that means we can sing it all year round, right?)

Challenges...
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - November Sketch Challenge
Paper Pretties Monday PPMC64 - use 2 or more circles
Just Keep on Creating - Christmas is just around the corner

My life's verse

Diane, the wonderful owner of Daydream Designs, created 3 Scripture sets with the favorite verses of all the design team.   They are wonderful!  You need to check them out!!

Dream Team Scripture Set 1, Dream Team Scripture Set 2, Dream Team Scripture Set 3, or the Dream Team Scripture Sets Bundle

My verse is in set 1 and is Psalm 32:8... "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."   This verse has been proven over and over to me and is such an encouragement and blessing to me!!   I first claimed it as a teenager when I wasn't sure which direction the Lord was leading me, and though I'm looooong past my teens, He has never failed to instruct me.    The second half... guide thee with mine eye... has always helped to realize that I need to stay close to Him, close enough to see His face, so that He can guide me. 

I used the sketch from and will join the challenge  Twist of Faith #10.
I'm also submitting it to Word Art Wednesday #53 - give thanks... this is not the word art they shared, but I truly am thankful for the Lord's leading in my life!!

Tuesday Morning Sketch #171

Happy Election Day to those in the USA!  I guess at the end of the day, some will be happy and some will be sad!  Have you voted yet?  You'd better get out and do it!!  I can't because I'm an 'alien' (though I assure you that I am LEGAL!!!), but if you are able, you NEED to!!!

Christmas JOY

A friend posted a pic on FB that was from Nordstrom saying they won't "deck the halls" until after Thanksgiving because they like to celebrate one holiday at a time.   We don't have a Nordstrom nearby so I don't know if that is really true or not, but I know that even though we don't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, if I didn't start preparing for Christmas sooner than that, we'd be in trouble!!  Actually, I've been making cards all year with some challenges and made another tonight.

The digi is from a new set of Daydream Designs called Deck the Halls Digi Set-Color.  This set is GORGEOUS!!!    There is also available this set in outline, matching "Boughs and Borders", and a Deck the Halls digi paper pack that is amazing!!

My card....

I printed 2 and cut the poinsettia and popped it up

Challenges...
jingle belles JB12-23 - "Do you sketch what I sketch?"
BasicGrey Challenge 80 - anything goes
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long #35 - anything goes

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, and today, it is actually Happy Birthday to me, but I don't  make myself cards, so I have a Thanksgiving card to show you. :)  "How old are you?" you ask... I'm 29... for the 18th time!!  ;)

My next several posts are scheduled in case we are without power this week as expected.  We are inland and won't have the difficulties those of you along the coast, but are in a valley so we may have some flooding and power outages.  So if I'm not heard from for awhile, that is why.  Stay safe all you on the East coast and in the Northeast!!

Here is my Thanksgiving card made with an image from Daydream Designs.   This pre-colored digi is from the Blessings of the Harvest Color Set. 

I combined the image and sentiment before printing, embossed and cut a 'top' layer, added a ribbon, button, and some pearls and here we are...

Thanks for stopping by and even though it is not Thanksgiving yet, be thankful for your blessings today!! 

Hope, Courage, Faith, Strength

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and though I'm slow, I've made a card in honor of that.

Diane of Daydream Designs has made several wonderful awareness sets this month!!  I used the Hope Endures Sentiment Pack Pink.

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are in the fight with this horrible disease and for those of you who are standing along side a loved one of friend who is fighting!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Masculine note card

Masculine cards are not the easiest for me, but my husband is a pastor and I asked him awhile back if he'd like me to make some note cards for him.  Of course, he said yes, but I've been a little slow getting them done.  This is a start, at least!!!  I think I need to make them a little more postal friendly than this one, though.

My inspiration for this card came from Diane.  (Click on her name to see her card)  I liked her pairing of the Bible with this verse, so I copied!  Thanks, Diane!! :)

Challenges...
Stampin' Sisters in Christ #162 - peace (the greatest source of peace...God's Word)
Word Art Wednesday #51 - anything goes
365 Cards: Day 233 - Color Scheme

Autism awareness card

October is breast cancer awareness month and that is wonderful!!  Keep thinking pink!!!
But it seems that when we become aware of one need, we become aware of others, as well.   I have a friend that has 4 autistic children.  She is such a blessing in the way she deals with these children and looks to the Lord for her strength!!  

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #57 and the image is one of Diane's from Daydream Designs.   It is the Hope Endures Digi Set Autism.  It is pre-colored.  (She has several other awareness sets, too!)

I combined a couple of the digis, embossed my cardstock, and tied a ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!!

CAS thank you

I've had a global afternoon!  I am in NY, I'm eating Thornton's mint toffee from England (I wish I'd filled a suitcase or 2 with this stuff!!!), I made this card for a friend in England to thank her for the gift of a doily that was made in Romania!   Not that you needed to know all that to see my card, but I'm feeling chatty today. :)
