FOXY CHRISTMAS FOREST

Using the embossing folder creates such a nice background for this sweet little critter as he celebrates the Christmas season.  He even decorated the forest☺haha, seriously though I think making Christmas cards are my favorite cards to make. 

Thanks for visiting my blog.

EMBOSSED FALL

Well, I got in the mood to make a few fall cards, perhaps because the temperature is falling a bit here in WI.  We had to turn the furnace on last night.  We try to hold out as long as possible, but when you're freezing it's not fun.  There is absolutely no stamping involved in this card.  WOW..just an embossing folder and some ribbon, but still I think it turned out lovely.

I was looking at my cute little "Christmas tree" in my yard, when I took a closer look, there hiding out munching away is a squirrel.   These little guys are quite the characters, the other day one actually came right up to the screen door on the patio, and acted like he wanted to come in and visit.  HP (my dog) thought that would be fun too ☺  

 It would please me so much to have you follow my blog.  I'm trying to reach 50 followers by Oct. 22, that will be my one year blog anniversary ☺

                                Thank you for your support

AUTUMN

I really like this  Lovely as a tree stamp set from stampin up.  I used a plain little block stamp to create the background and then stamped the trees in a deeper color.  I  also like the placement of the word "Autumn"

ELEPHANT SMILES

This card was made using my 2 new stamp sets from stampin up.  I made it for my mom who just went down to Madison for testing to see if she will be a  good candidate for a kidney transplant, she loves elephants so I thought it quite fitting to encourage her and send a smile too.  I like the placement of the sequins on this card.  

Thank you for stopping by

BLUE BIRD THANK YOU

I made this card for the woman I bought the stamp set from. I had the bird punch but not the set.  So I was very happy to purchase this, even though it's a bit older I think it works lovely and can't wait to play with colors and make an array of colorful birds.  Perhaps a cardinal for a Christmas card. I used gold glimmer paint on the flower petals and of course smudged it while working so hence the washi tape came in handy to cover those little unsightly mistakes.  

Thank you so much for stopping by.

SCS

I haven't posted in a few days, because well to be quite honest I felt that after my last card there was no way I could top the grand reviews I received on my facebook page and Stamp Cafe, so I was feeling a bit inadequate.  However, I told myself after a few days that's just foolishness and that stamping makes me feel good.  So my dear friends I will be posting a few of my projects I've been working on.  I start with this card being it has a lovely scripture verse on it and today is SCS (Scripture Card Sunday)  The colorful daisies on the side our actually a roll of duct tape I found on sale, and knew it would come in super handy.  In fact I wish I had~ had that when I taped my one Bible together.. I used  bright green (love the color) but I really love the daisies here.  

Any ways I think it makes the card pop in color.

Hope you have a Blessed Sunday.

Thank you for stopping by.

Fall View from my Window Card

Today in honor of World Card Making Day I chose to make a fall festive window to say thank you to all my followers I appreciate the support and kind words, it means so much to me.

 I used the Stampin up set sheltering tree, and a window die to create the cute outdoor picture.  It reminded me of my son, doing some chores raking and then decide instead to go biking, because that's just way more fun.  I used an embossing leaf folder in the background and added a little brad for some shine.  I was a bit concerned that on all days (world card making day) I couldn't get the creative juices flowing, but I'm thankful I was able pull it together for this card.

  I also thought I'd share one more thing in honor of today.  ►

Hope it makes ya smile☺

Thank you for stopping by and double thanks for all you sweet new followers, that sure is grand.  I might just make my goal of reaching 50 followers before Oct. 22 my one year blog anniversary.
