ABC Christmas Challenge: H & I ~ Winter Wonderland

Awwww My favorite kind of cards to make 

would be Christmas.   I have the lovely

Christmas music playing,  I think it  

helps lower my blood pressure.  

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Papertreyink:  Winter Window 

I love the frosty windowpanes, as you peak

inside this window,  to see the tree, one can

 imagine a toasty fire crackling in the 

fireplace with stockings hung on the mantel. 

I used clear wink of stella to add some sparkle

to those icicles.  Our old house gets some 

HUGE icicles.    

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge 

at: ABC Christmas

The challenge: 

H for Homes/Houses  

and 

I for Icicles

Challenge #202 Happy Mail~ So Sentimental, Jar of Flowers, Snailed It, Stampin Up

Hello, what a lovely day to make "happy mail"

The lilacs are just starting to get some little 

green leaves, and a few buds are starting to 

poke up from the ground.   I have to 

remind myself, most likely it will snow 

again.  But I'm going to enjoy this warm weather. 

So I made a bright cheery card that I will submit

to the challenge at:

CAS on Friday

HAPPY MAIL

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  So Sentimental

Stampin Up:  Jar of Flowers

Stampin Up:  Snailed It

I love how this card turned out, like a little

piece of sunshine delivered to your mailbox.

Sketch #415~ Under My Umbrella, Stampin Up, Thank you

Here is another thank you card using the same

wonderful sketch at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Under My Umbrella  

This thank you is for my daughter and Son in law.

They gave me the sweetest birthday gifts.  
I feel so blessed to have such a loving family.  

My daughter particularly loves rainy days so I 

think she is going to like this card.  

The stamping and coloring is pretty straight 

forward on this card, nothing tricky or fancy

just nice simple clean lines.  

I wanted to say thank you to all those who wished 

me a happy birthday and also thank you to those 

who have been praying for me.  The echocardiogram 

came back good.  PRAISE the LORD.  Just have to

work on controlling the Blood pressure and my 

anxiety.  So that should be interestingly difficult.

With all that is going on in the world and overlapping 

autoimmune diseases. oh Happy day..  

Any ways just a big thank you to you all.  

And also someone asked about this card awhile ago..

I used the simply succulents from stampin up, and the

matching die set that goes with it  (potted succulent dies) 

to create that background.

I honestly bought it for that die.  It's pretty fantastic.

Sketch #415~ Whale Done, Stampin Up, Thank you

I really need to get with the program on my 

thank you notes.  

I made two identical ones like this one here.  

They are for my kids.  

You see this past Easter Sunday, the little 

darlings all came over and had dinner 

with us and then we planned on sitting 

outside by the campfire because it was 

glorious out.  Especially living in WI.  

Well the little sweeties all volunteered to rake our yard

for us.  What a lovely team effort.  It's a whopper

of a yard, and well I can't be of any help anymore.

So it was a HUGE blessing.  I will share a video. 

I think the kiddos will like it.   

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Well Done  

The kids made a time lapse video of the yard raking.

You can see it here

Sketch #414 Prayer Journal

I made this prayer journal for the 

challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I was in desperate need of a new

prayer book.  So I decided to make 

one using a steno notebook.

I got rather lazy and didn't do the spiral part.

I know there is a way, I just didn't feel like 

doing it.   Had a lot going on this week.  

Turned the big 50 on April 3rd.  

The doctor put me on Blood pressure

medicine and now it's worse then before. 

Had to have an echocardiogram because they 

are concerned about my heart.  

Then started another new pill, and that's doing

the same thing.  Oh Joy.  This is frustrating. 

So when I started making this prayer 

journal my dear husband says to me, 

Don't forget to make a tab for PJ 💗

That was so sweet of him.  SO 

I made my tabs and included one 

for me too. 

This is what my craft desk looks 

like the majority of the time.  

I was having one of the days then

when my hair wouldn't tie up nicely,

and well folks, I just don't even

care anymore.   So it's as the 

young folks would say, " a hot mess."

haha

HP is getting back to normal

handling life well.  Love how he 

props his little head up in his 

kennel.

and

the mushroom.
