Sketch #438Itty Bitty Christmas, Seasons of Fun, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The Stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Season of Fun 

Stampin Up:  Itty Bitty Christmas

Stampin Up:  Holly Jolly Wishes

Oh I know the sentiment was suppose to be the 

highlight, but I really just wanted to use my 

new stamp set.  So I squeezed in the tiny

sentiment. I think it fits perfectly. phew.  

Of course after using this very stamp,

and choosing this DSP.  All I could 

 envision was my moose stamp set. 

But I told my self.  "next time"  

These aren't the best pictures of this card,

so I'm going to try again tomorrow.  

But just too tired tonight to mess with it. 

I'm also including a few pictures of a diamond 

fold card.  

I made this for a dear lady.  She picked me as a 

winner for a giveaway.  So I wanted to let 

her know how grateful I am.  

I always get a bit intimidated when making cards 

for other stampers.  I just don't think mine measure

up to the others. 

Just amazing this fits in the standard A2 envelope. so Yay

for that.  

I also wanted to share a little project I made for my 

son's birthday.  He will be 28 on Sunday. 

I'm so happy with how it turned out.  

We all love our plants in this family.  

This is quite difficult with my fingers, but it's 

very rewarding when you see the finished product.  

I can't believe I made that.  haha.  

Nothing new to report on health news.  Just 

same old battle, but still in the fight so 

that's a good thing friends.  I write that in my 

little notebook.  Thankful to be alive.  

Sometimes I am just thankful for that, and that 

is enough.  Life if a grand gift.  Use it well friends.

Love What you Do, Stampin Up

Hello friends,  I made this card for a challenge.

Not even noticing that it had ended until I 

went to submit the card.  Oops.  

Oh well good practice stamping.  

Bringing back an older stamp set in this card.

Stampin Up:  Love What you do 

Sometimes it's hard for me to like that water 

colored look on the flowers.  I'm a stay 

between the lines kind of coloring gal.  

Nevertheless It turned out pretty.

ABC Christmas Challenge - S & T are for?~Frosted Gingerbread, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

ABC Christmas Challenge

S for Stencil

and 

T for Two

I chose to go with "two"  So my card 

features two snowflakes.  

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Frosted Gingerbread.  

I love this unique  double diamond fold.  

The best part is it stands up so nicely on it's own 

and it also fits in the standard A2 envelopes.  

I took a picture from above so yo could see how 

neat it looks when standing up. 

Those snowflakes remind me of  little cookies, 

with white icing.

Sketch #437~Pretty Pumpkins, Stampin Up, Holly Berry Happiness

Today is a day of great reflection.  The 20th

year anniversary of such a tragic terrorist attack 

to our beloved country.  Our fellow Americans.  

My heart breaks for that day, and what it 

represented.  The pure hate/evil that is in 

the world.  My heart breaks still for the loved 

ones lost and the lives affected by their loss. 

And Now 20 years later a person can reflect

on how their own personal lives have changed.

And how time marches on and doesn't wait 

for no one.  But for that brief moment the 

world stood still.  In complete horror and 

disbelief of what was happening.  

I remember exactly where I was when 

I heard the news.  My sister was watching 

my little girl, while I dropped my son

off at school.  When I came in the house, 

my sister was crying and said did you hear the news?

I just went into mom panic mode,

thinking it was my son.  When she finally told me 

what was happening, 

I  too was in shock, and yet so grateful that my son was 

ok.  then immediately back to disbelief and shock.  

we had the kids play in a different room, while we watched 

in horror what was happening. I remember just being 

numb all day, glued to the TV when I got 

home, praying for it to stop, and for safety.   

The collapse of the towers,

The people jumping.  The boats waiting 

to take people to safety.  The firemen 

and police officers running to help, 

the paramedics.  God bless those who gave all. 

I'm a heartbroken patriot not only about this

very tragic day, but that the country is in such 

turmoil, and there is such division among us. 

May we be united again, in honor of and 

in memory of all those of 9-11

Now for the card I made for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card:

Stampin Up:  Pretty Pumpkins. 

Stampin Up:  Holly Berry Happiness

I wasn't going to order this set, but my one 

dear customer ordered it, and I thought I better

do the same so I can make cards along with her. 

I'm glad I did.  It is quite "fancy"  It seems like

I always go for the cutesy stuff more so.  But look

at me being all grown up and such.  haha.  Well 

at 50 years old I better start growing up.  

I even made a fancy little white pumpkin there.  

My daughter was impressed.  So that makes it 

a win for me.

FUSION - Seasons Of Fun, Cutest Halloween, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Fusion

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin up:  Seasons of Fun

Stampin Up:  Cutest Halloween 

I think this stamp set is absolutely adorable. 

It seems like all little kids at one time or 

another have been dressed in a pumpkin 

costume.  Let's face, they make the cutest 

little pumpkins ever.  

I even like the DSP on this card too. 

Do you make many Halloween cards?

Happy Labor Day Weekend.

FMS501~Strong of Heart, Stampin Up

 

I made this card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up: Strong of Heart 

I kept this card as clean and simple as possible. 

The sentiment I chose was perfect for the 

day I am having.

strong woman, who is fighting the good fight. 

Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Sketch #436~Peaceful Boughs, Tidings and Trimmings, Stampin Up

I thought I'd make one more card with the 

sketch at: 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Peaceful Boughs 

Stampin Up:  Tidings and Trimmings  

I'm trying hard to focus on typing this, 

while also corresponding with a 

relative that is very unpleasant at the time.  

So if this makes no sense I'm sorry. 

I just really wanted to get this entered in 

the challenge.  I'm so pleased with how 

the card turned out.  And I'm loving 

this smaller slimline size. 

Ya know it took an embarrassingly long time

to put the pinecones on to my liking.  

Those little snowflake embellishments are perfect. 

I took this picture a couple days ago of HP.

I love how he soaks up the sun in front of the 

patio door. I swear I should get me a 

hammock to put there too.  But no room. 

Not sure if I shared this before, but I 

have been trying to learn some macrame. 

So far, One little scary owl. and three 

little key chains.  My gosh this is 

much more difficult for me then I 

imagined.  But I'm going to keep trying,

and hopefully put a few in my etsy shop. 

Hope you are all having a fabulous 

Labor Day Weekend.
