Card #58 for 2024

Dearest Blog readers, Happy Saturday Evening.  

Thanksgiving is later this year and yet here I am in 

a panic that it's already this Thursday.  I must get 

things in order for the family.  

I will enter this card in the challenges at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Double Trouble

The stamp sets I used in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Hope & Peace, 

Cross Stitched Christmas

I had a heck of a time lining up my cross stitched tree,

it is a combination of 3 stamps to create this tree.  I thought it

would be perfect for the stitch challenge at Double Trouble. 

I used the sketch from Atlantic Hearts.  After finally getting the

tree stamped, cutting it out was just as challenging.  Then

when I layered it on the rectangle, there was too much red

card stock, so hence the sentiment banner.  

Below are a few pictures of Patriot.  He's 

quite a busy puppy.  He finally fell asleep on his 

own on the floor by the heater.  He loved the warmth,

just like his older brother Hunter did.  IT was a welcome 

break from this little hyper hound. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

Isaiah 60:13KJV

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree,

 the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; 

and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Card #57 for 2024

Dearest Blog Readers, Happy Saturday.  

Our little fella, is having a difficult time staying 

focused, I included some pictures of him at the bottom 

of this post. Thank goodness Robb is off today,

so I was able to get some much needed time in 

my craft room.  Oh how I missed it in here.  I had

to blow the dust off the desk before I could start

stamping and having fun.  

I will enter this card in at:

TGIF Challenges

I used a variety of stamps:

Sweet N Sassy~Harvest Blessings

Stampin Up~For all things & Birds of a Feather

the sentiment on the front is a no name single stamp.  

I really like how it came together.  It was rather relaxing

coloring it all in after stamping.  Still frustrating with 

my eye sight, but nevertheless it was enjoyable.  

Below are the two pictures of the little fella.

His name is Patriot, (he was born on July 4th)

but his nickname is Trouser. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 106:1 KJV

 Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord;

 for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Card #56 for 2024

Dearest Blog readers, Happy Saturday evening.  

Husband and I are spent trying to keep up 

with a 4 month old puppy.  But we had 

him outside while we dug up carrots from the 

garden, he nosed around in the grass eating 

all the leaves he could nab.  

I will enter this card in the 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I used stampin up:

Good Greetings

Birds of a Feather

Caring Leaves

Crackle Paint

I used the crackle paint stamp to create the background,

and then stamped the rest of the images.  I probably should

have die cut a bigger circle, but I was too tired to get up again

and go make another cut.  So this one will have to do. 

Here are a few pumpkins from my garden. 

Below is a picture of my prayer plant, first 

time I've had it ever blossom.  How exciting.

Here's a picture of the little fella.

He will officially be 4 months old on Monday.

Monday will be the day we have Grandma's

funeral.  It's hard to believe after 101 years she

is no longer on this earth with us.  Such an

extraordinary lady.  Please say a prayer all 

goes well and smoothly for the services and family.

Thank you.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

1 Thess 5:18KJV

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God

 in Christ Jesus concerning you 

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
