Snow Card #5

Hello friends, today I didn't get a chance to stamp my SCS  (Scripture Card Sunday) card.  I got busy trying to put the house back in order.  It takes me such a long time now putting up and taking down Christmas decorations.  Gasp!  right.. Yes my friends I still had the house all festive and it's almost a month later.   Now the home looks so empty and needless to say I spent time on ice resting and hoping the pain would ease up.   I imagine tomorrow will be a nice stamping day, along with visiting a few blogs to help stir up some interest in the super fun snow challenge at: Retro Rubber Challenger Blog.  I would so love to see your beautifully designed cards on their blog.  So please link up.   

The card I made today only uses one stamp and it's from Michael's in the dollar bins I believe it's at least a year old maybe 2.   I tried researching it online and couldn't find an accurate date.   I then also used an embossing folder and sponged white ink on the snowflakes.

Thank you so much for visiting.  I hope to gain more followers of my blog this year, if only blogger would cooperate with me.  I'm aiming for maybe 75.  Please keep revisiting so you too can sign in.  Thanks so much.

#GDP070~Snow Card #4

 Today is snow card #4  I chose bright blue to enhance the white stamped images so well.  I hope you will join the snow challenge at: Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. I'm having such a blast being their guest designer.  It is truly fun to bring out our older stamps and make new designs with them, and it's helpful to have a sketch challenge to work with such as the one at: Global Design Project.   As you can see I switched things up a bit for the sketch, but I think you can still see the idea.  

As for the stamps they are stampin up: 1999 Winter Wilma, 1996 Best Borders, and 1998 Whoosh snowman. I used a ribbon to add some sparkle, and a few punched snowflakes with pearls to give it some pizzazz.  

I also included another snowy picture of my yard for inspiration.   I hope you scroll down and check out a few more of my cards.  I would love to hear from you.  Please leave a comment.  

Also, don't forget to follow my blog, that would make my day.   

Thank you so much for visiting.

Let It Snow Card #3

 Today marks card #3 for some snow inspiration.  In hopes that you will play along at: Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  It's so fun to bring out those older stamps and ink them up for a super snow challenge.  The sets I used today are from Stampin up and include: Let it snow 1997,

Woosh Snowman 1998, and Lovely as a tree.  I know this one is older even though I think it's still available.  I suppose because it's a classic.  I always think I should order one more set just to have on hand.  Kind of like when you find the right shoes or purse.. a gal wants back up.  haha.. 

I've also included another snowy picture from our yard.   

Hope to see your card soon in the collection.  

Thank you for visiting my blog. 

  Have a GREAT day. 

❄Let it Snow❄

As promised here is another card for some inspiration, in hoping that you will play along with the  snow challenge at: Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  This was actually my favorite of the cards I made, but my family chose the Window Card I posted yesterday and submitted that one as the design card.  I like this one because I added the little snow drifts to the birdie house, and had a stack of snowballs read to go, just in case a passer by might want to purchase a few.  The stamp sets I used were:  Stampin up, Season of Friendship I think it's from 2012  I had a hard time finding the date.  If you know please message me in the comments, because I want to write it on the box.  I also used the Bird house mini from stampin up 1996 and snow angels from 1999~ wishing I had the whole set to this one.   

I'm hoping to see your works of art in the card gallery at: Retro Rubber Challenge Blog, be sure to link up.  The team there is so supportive and is sure to comment on your cards.  Everybody loves that.   

For further inspiration a little help from WI .. my snowy yard.  

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love to have you follow me,  pin my cards or share on facebook .  So many options to show ya care💗

#rrcb54~Guest Designer~Snowy View From my Window

 Oh my goodness

  The time has finally come, and I can show you the card I made as the guest designer at: Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  I am absolutely so grateful for this awesome opportunity to be able to share my card with you all.  I went to work(play) right away trying to come up with a card that would fit the challenge, and as you can imagine it was a lot of fun.

I used the window die to give the appearance of looking out into the winter wonderland of SN❄W with and avalanche of snow hanging off the roof line, which is quite common here in WI.  Sometimes the drifts off the roof can meet those SN❄W banks on the ground. I also added a cup of hot cocoa to warm things up while glancing at the cute SN❄W-man.  Did you notice a few of the flakes were plastered to the window pane?  I imagine that is so, because like our old house, there is poor insulation.. hence they stay put.  haha.. any ways I thought I should also capture a picture with the card on my actually window sill. So very clever.    As you can see there is  some SN❄W in the background, but just wait until later this week when I share a few more  SN❄W cards, and pictures of the yard. 

 We got a lot more of that fluffy wet white stuff.

  On this card I used a snowflake embossing folder for the background, and the window die.  The stamp sets are from stampin up and include: Snow Angels 1999 for the cup of cocoa.  so sad because I don't have the whole set, just that little mug, 1997 Let it snow for the sentiment.  1998 Woosh Snowman set for the snowflakes and Best of SN❄W 2014.  

I hope you like my card and that you will play along with the amazing team at Retro Rubber, it's truly a delightful blog, with amazing challenges.. and seriously don't we all have some older stamps that need a little love, now is the perfect time to bring them out, and let them shine.  Please won't you join us in the Challenge.  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  Make sure to stop back this week because I will feature 5 more days of snow cards for inspiration.  I look forward to seeing what YOU come up with.

By the way did you notice the reoccurring theme throughout my post?  besides the poor grammar.. (haha)   it would be the word SN❄W

SCS ~Fabulous You

I'm so excited to share with you my first attempt at paper piecing.  I used my new stampin up set.  Fabulous You.  I couldn't wait to order this one.  For some reason it reminds me of old movies.  I love how the woman have dresses and hats it's just so "classy"   so today I paired it up with a verse for my SCS (Scripture Card Sunday)  I'm not sure what translation this verse is. I use mostly NIV or ESV, but nevertheless, I thought it was fitting for this card.  I enjoy the bright bold yellow color too.  I am convienced that I need to put on my wish list more die shapes, to create my cards, it just gives them such a finished look.  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  

I would love to hear what you think of today's card, or perhaps what stamping projects you're working on.  Please share in the comment section. Thank you.

MOJO479~Lovely Lotus

I enjoy pulling out a few of my older stamps.  It seems like stamps are as automobiles are, you drive it off the lot and it's already outdated and used.  However when you have a new sketch design like the one at: Mojo Monday Blog you want to bring out the old and mix it with the new.  That's exactly what I did with this card.   I used the stampin up lotus blossom set along with the sentiment from Frosted medallion.  I used some washi tape on the side to match the color of the flower. 

I think the Lotus looks lovely in this color.  What are your thoughts?  

I've also added a picture of our 🐶 dog HP, he found a new place to sit.  My footstool, and of course while we were watching TV he thought the best way to get our attention with his ball would be at eye level.  He's such a cutie.
