Sweet Squirrel Box

 Oh my goodness, check out this darling little box.  I used a die cut from lawn fawn.  In fact even the little squirrel stamp and sentiment are all from Lawn Fawn.  This was so much fun to make and I had every intention of giving it to my son, filled with treats.  It also can hold a gift card nicely too.  However, it fell on the floor where I was working and my sweet little HP decided he should play with it. So before I could rescue it from his chops it was a bit ruined. 

* insert sad face.   Guess I will make another one.  To bad I don't have anymore of that cute bright green and white polka dot paper. Drats!     I see a bunch of these in my future for Halloween treat giving.    What would you put in this cute little box? 

 I thought I'd share a picture of my HP.  He is intently watching for squirrels in the yard. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Mason Jar Christmas

Christmas is in the air, or should I say Christmas in a jar.   Both the mason jar and sentiment I ordered online.  I like how this card turned out. I used the bow builder punch from stampin up and added a few little pearls to "spruce" it all up.   I think the sentiment is lovely and will work so well with the new bell punch in the stampin up Holiday catalog, that's one I for sure want to order.  I'm so excited about it.   Anyways I had to do a lot of inking  directly on this stamp to make sure the carrot nose and buttons all had different colors.  I also used a hat from a different snowman and then cut it out and pasted it on this little guy.

Hope you liked this card.

SCS

~Welcome~

 It's that time of the week again my friends.  SBS (Scripture card Sunday)  As you can see I didn't choose a verse stamp, but I thought this was nevertheless appropriate for today's selection.

I have been busy at home lately, my kiddos have been keeping me hopping.   Our daughter has moved out with her boyfriend, and now we have our son's girlfriend living with us for a while.  I am thankful the kids have a place to stay with us, even though we have a tiny old home.  Any ways, Xavier's girlfriend  Sarat. asked me to help her make a card for her mom.  Such a lovely honor to help her, this was her first card, and it is beautiful.   I made a template, of the card she would use as an example, and then we sat at the desk together.  I have a super old wooden teacher desk and the sides pull out so I truly did feel like a teacher with a student. 

 I'm so proud of how well her card turned out.  She's a great stamper.  Here's her card.  When it's folded it measures 4x4 and then opens up to 8x8.

I also wanted to add a few pictures of the activity on the deck and side yard.  The Green dragon fly was huge, as was chippy's full mouth as he was packing in the corn.  The birds were taking turns at the feeders, and fence.  

Lastly one of the blooms from the yard 

 Thank you so much for stopping by. 

 Hope you have a spectacular Sunday.

Four Cards For Friends

~Welcome~

  I find that when I'm stressed or hurting I stamp.. and golly gee I turned out four cards yesterday.. so as you can just imagine I was feeling a bit overwhelmed,  and it was also raining here.  SO when you must stay indoors you might as well make good use of your time.  I can't see my desk top anymore, but it was well worth it.  I decided to play with a few older stamp sets and see what I could come up with.   

Which card do you like best? 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

#GDP050 ~Home Sweet Home

~WELCOME~

Today I made a card for the sketch challenge at:

Global Design Project

My plan got a little sidetracked along the way.  I just felt like my card needed a little something in the lower right hand corner, hence the owl behind the log.  I'm still trying to master that sponging technique on embossed paper.   The teepee tent is Home sweet Home from Avery Elle.  and the owl is  Critter in the Forest from Lawn Fawn.  I used stampin up inks.  I also used liquid pearls from ranger  to enhance the tent lines and the owl beak.   Ohh.. and my favorite part: the googly eyes.  They just bring the little fella to life☺

I thought a picture with the flash would be nice to share too.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I thought I'd share another picture from my recent visit to the zoo.

~Welcome~

It's SCS (Scripture Card Sunday)  

Today I used a much older stampin up stamp set, that still looks great.  I stuck with my cherry cobbler color ink pad.  The lovely butterfly die, and of course the scripture stamp is from a few years back, and I have no clue what the company name is.  *insert sad face.  I also used an embossing folder for the background.    

My son and his girlfriend rolled in this morning bright and early and now they will be staying here awhile.   It just amazes me how life unfolds.  It's all so exciting.  Like a Christmas present on Christmas morning.

I like how the one bird is coming in for a landing at the feeder.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Cherry Cobbler Color

 ~Welcome~

Today I chose to work with the stampin up ink pad Cherry cobbler.   I have the older pad yet, and I tried to re-ink it with the refill bottle, but it's just not the same,  the image is a bit blotchy.  I suppose back to youtube for me to figure out what I did wrong.   I Love Christmas time, so my first card today has that for the theme.  I probably could have added some glitter to the tree tops for sparkle, I suppose next time.

  My second card is a Valentine.  I used all stampin up supplies for that too, even the embossing folder.  I should mention none of the paper I ever use is from stampin Up.  Someday eventually I will budget that in my order.

I sure do THANK YOU for taking time to stop by and read my blog.  If you would like my facebook page at: Pj's Projects That would be wonderful. 

Here's a little video of the birds at the feeder and deck this afternoon.  Hope you enjoy.
