Hugs and Love!

Hi, Friends!

I continue to work on Valentine cards.  It's been great card therapy for me lately.  My sweet mother-in-law, Ann, passed away recently.  She was a nurse for many years and gave excellent care!  She will be dearly missed by many!

For, my card I used the new Newton's Nook stamp set and die.  I had fun coloring the cute images with my copics.  I'm sure these images could be used for birthdays or an anniversary, too.  

We are getting snow here today.  It certainly looks and feels like winter!  My sis went to Florida in November.  She came back just for Christmas and I'm sure she's happy missing all this snow and cold.  I don't mind the snow, but when freezing drizzle is in the mix it's not a good thing.  We are expecting freezing drizzle tonight.  

I hope you all are doing well and have a great weekend!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Heart Day!

Hi, Friends!

It's been a couple weeks since I've been here.  Christmas season is always very busy, but it was a great celebration with family and friends!  And, I'm wishing you all a blessed happy healthy new year!

For my card as seen above, I have a mix of products.  The new ones that I used are the Lawn Fawn strawberry images, bow, and sentiment.  The circles are from Pretty Pink Posh and the heart frame is from Waffle Flower.  Those sweet strawberries were so fun to color!  Yum yum for chocolate covered strawberries!

I'm entering this card over at the NBUS Challenge. 

I think a lot of the country is cold...brrr!  We are to have some snow for Ohio, but I think it will miss us.  I'm already looking forward to spring.  How about you?

I thank you very much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great week, take care!

Hugs!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The big day is only a few days away!  I have to say time got away from me again.  I'm happy that I had most things in order, but did get behind in my baking.  I may do a little this afternoon.  For the above card,  the cardinal die is from SSS and the embossing folder is from Spellbinder's.  This card is for my mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, all last week we had to take care of our dog.  It happened so suddenly for the poor little thing.  We were to the vet every day this past week.  Our sweet Sheila's cancer came back and it was in her lung.  She developed pulmonary hypertension.  She also had Cushing's disease.  We tried everything and by the end of the week her kidneys were failing.  There was nothing more to do for her.  She was one strong sassy little thing.  But, she could also be so loving.  She was my snuggle buddy.  She will be dearly missed!

I have two more cards to share...

I was making tags and thought I'd make a card with the cute images.  The stamps are from Pretty Pink Posh and the sentiment is a wood block stamp from Stampabilities.  I still love some of my old stamps from long ago.  

Next up...

I made this card using a stamp set from MFT.  A simple card, but with a wonderful sentiment!

That's all for now.  We need to scoot to the grocery store for food that we need for Christmas dinner.  It will be fairly simple this year since we are making a ham.  I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas and a happy healthy new year!

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today, take care!

Hugs!

Peace, Love, Joy!

Hi, Friends!

How are you doing on this fine Tuesday afternoon?  I'm still busy making Christmas cards, although I think I have most of them made.  A lot of the wrapping of gifts has been done and some baking.  And, speaking of wrapped gifts, I had one little sneaky animal in the house.  Our cat, Nicky, got into his gift that was wrapped with the other gifts on the table.  Hmmm...maybe he won't get any when his sis, Sheila, opens her gift this Christmas?  Next year I'll have to think of a new hiding place, lol!  I'm entering this card over at Stencil Fun Challenge.      

I did make a similar card to the one above and all die cuts and stencils are from Waffle Flower.  The set was so fun to make in different colors!

Here is the evidence from one little naughty kitty, lol!

Nicky says...I'm being good now!

Nicky loves the little red cardinal!  He has a lot of fun flipping it up in the air and chasing after it!  This is his second cardinal.  We have no idea what happened to the other one.  But. I suppose if he behaves I'll get him another one if I need to, lol!

Ok, that's all for now.  Take care and enjoy the rest of the week!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs!
