#GDP069~Elephant

Boy oh boy this was a colour challenge indeed at Global Design Project but I figured I'd give it a shot.  With colors like delightful dijon and silver, and a color of our own choice to add to it, hmmm... why not hit this colorful combo out of the park with purple. 

  I used some glittery silver twine and a lovely accent star in the corner to represent my silver selection.  While the base of the card incorporated the delightful dijon.  The stamp is from a set called Love You Lots from Stampin up.   I find the elephant symbolic, 🐘(haha)🐘 because I won't soon forget this color combo challenge.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I'm always happy to hear from you in the comment section.

#GDP068~Plane

Today I made this card for the challenge at Global Design Project where we are to CASE the designer Jess Williams. 

I chose the airplane from stampin up, because this week my daughter had her first flight ever.  They are now back home safely.  But the experience will last for a lifetime.  She is still suffering from ringing and pain in the ears, hopefully that will subside soon.   It was so impressive to watch the groundsmen usher the jet to the proper location.  I think a person forgets all the behind the scene people that are working so hard to assure us safe travels. 

   So onto my card. I used the world embossing folder from stampin up along with the stampin up, sky is the limit set.  I added a bit of ribbon and a little pearl accent in the middle of the propeller.  It was a lot of fun to make this card. 

I also added a few pictures of the airplane and the updated flying schedules.  On my previous posts you will find other pictures, my daughter took while flying.  Please check them out and leave a comment.  

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I'd really appreciate the support. Please will you follow my blog?  🌼

SSC143 WINTER FROST~Faith SCS

 Today I made a card for the winter frost color challenge at:  Sunday Stamps.  This was quite difficult for me, since I don't really use "cool" colors often and also I don't have a variety of paper or ink in this color scheme.  So I made do with what I had.  I also tied this into my SCS (Scripture Card Sunday) post.   Even though it's not a verse I thought it would be fitting for the day since it talks about faith.  My stamps are from stampin up.   

I also forgot to share one of my fun gifts for Christmas.   A lovely pair of glasses that make all the twinkle lights look like reindeer.  I added some pictures to show ya.  They are so much fun.

  I'm such a kid at heart 💗

Thank you for visiting today.  Please stop back again.

MOJO478~Winter Scene

 I really wanted to play with my new stampin up  Merry Tags framelit dies.  They just came in a few days ago.  So exciting to get a new product.  I didn't order the bundle, because of our budget, but I sure am loving the possibilities even without the stamps.  So I'm going to enter this card in the sketch challenge at: Mojo Monday Blog.

 I ran the little die through the big shot a few times with different colored paper so I could make each element the appropriate color.  Then just snipped off the top so it wouldn't  look to much like a Christmas ornament and more like a snowy winter scene.   And speaking of snow, I had a few visitors in the side yard again today even though it's about 5 below zero.  

Thank you for visiting my blog.  Hope you have a wonderful day.

MOJO478~Valentine's Day Take 2

There are certain occasions and Holidays I just can't seem to master for stamping.  Valentine's day is one of them.  Perhaps because I don't really have many stamps in favor of this holiday or perhaps I just don't feel the "love"  while making them.  I think my favorite of all cards to make is Christmas.  Any ways, I gave it my best shot using the sketch challenge at: Mojo Monday as a template for my design layout.  Then I just went all out and overboard with embossing and washi tape and such.  I mixed a few stamp sets together for this loveliness, I mean nothing says, valentine's day like hearts everywhere.  (haha) 💚💝💜💘

It's a bit cold here again in WI.. as in below zero the past few days. This is so not my favorite time of the year.. but I took a picture of the little beauty that Jack Frost left on my window.. and the close up is amazing and wanted to share it with ya all.

How pretty spectacular is that?  It's so feathery looking, and yet frigid at the same time. 

Thank you so much for taking time to visit my blog.  

Won't you please consider following my blog?🌼 That would make my day.  I want to reach 100 people/friends by this time next year.

MOJO478.~Valentine Hearts

I made a Valentine's day card for the sketch challenge at: Mojo Monday.  I wanted to use my new Christmas gift from my daughter.  One lovely box full of assorted Holiday washi tapes.. It's so much fun, and so many possibilities.  I've noticed people wrap their pens/pencils with it, cover light switches with it. Decorate book covers, pencil cases and if course cards and scrap booking.  What do you do with your washi tape?  

The only thing I stamped on today's card was the heart, and it's from Stampin Up.  

I hope you get a chance to play along with this sketch challenge or at least go view all the extraordinary work of other talented stampers.

Thank You Notes and Pictures

Thank you notes are what is on the agenda since Christmas.  I'm one of those gals that still really like to send and receive thank you notes.  I think there is something sweet about it. Here is a sample of the few cards I've been working on.  

I also wanted to mention that my Martini Glass Card was a top cup choice at: Sunday Stamps Blog  That made my day.  If you click on the commended cards on top you will see some others that have won badges.  You can also click on the badge itself on the right hand side for a link to the card.  I'm so excited about these. Reminds me of being a Girl scout and earning our badges.. Something super satisfying about working on a project and accomplishing it so that others appreciate your effort♥. 

Our daughter and her boyfriend are flying back to VA for a week, and I thought I'd share a few pictures she shared with me.  This is her first time flying.  I've not ever done it, I think they might have to tranquilize me to get me somewhere.  I have a few anxiety issues not to mention claustrophobic..not a great combo.

✈✈✈

  Any ways.  It's all good.  And the pictures she shared with me are just beautiful.. It's so amazing.

I hope you like seeing them too.  

Thank you for spending some time visiting my blog.
