St. Pat's Day!

Hi Friends!

How are you on this fine Wednesday afternoon?  We got some
luck of the Irish and didn't get the snow/ice that was due for
this area.  We had freezing rain last Friday morning.  I had
to go into work for some training, and it was very slippery
on the roads.  So, we're happy and doing an Irish jig for
not getting more nasty weather!:-)

But, anyways, I had some fun over the weekend
creating these St. Pat's cards.  Each card is just a "wee" bit
different!:-)  I used My Mind's Eye papers, twine, gems, and
a couple of my favorite punches to makes these cards. 

Well, I hate to make this post short and sweet, but I have a
few other things to do yet before going into a meeting for
work.  I hope you all are having a great day!  And, I'll be
taking a look at your fab creations very soon!  Thanks
for dropping by...take care...hugs!

Sweet Silhouette...

 

 

Hi Friends!

 

How's your weekend going?  It's a bit chilly here.

But, it's brighter weather than yesterday and less

windy.  We had snow squalls that presented a big

problem for drivers.  The roads were quite icy with

white outs from the snow. So, there were many

accidents.  I'm glad we weren't out at that time.  We

went out later in the afternoon to dinner and movie.

We saw an action packed movie, Die Hard.  Talk

about problem for drivers...hehehe!  Anyways, it

was a good movie with some cute story lines re-

garding father/son bonding!

 

Ok, onto my card.  I'm entering this card in the

challenge at the The Shabby Tea Room.  The

stamp silhouette is from Close to My Heart.  I

colored the flowers with copic markers.  A doily

was placed behind and pearls added around the

frame.  More pearls to the center of the flowers.

Flower trim and ribbon to pretty up the card. 

And, the Mind's Eye lovely paper already had

a sweet sentiment printed...every day is a special

occasion.  Don't you agree?  I hope you have a

special kind of occasion day!  Thanks so much

for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!

Happy Saturday!

 

 

How's your day going so far?  Hope it's a great weekend

for ya!  It's a sun shiny day here.  It's so good to see the

sunshine!  And, my thoughts and prayers do go out to all

of those on the east coast for the terrible blizzard they are

experiencing...please take care...stay safe!

 

I want to share with you a card I made for the

The Shabby Tea Room.  I purchased some new stamps

recently from SU and immediately fell in love with

this new stamp set.  I'm sure I'll be using it a lot!

I wanted dimension, so I backed the frame with

cardboard.  I popped the frame and sentiment up

on dimensionals.  I used several flowers as you can

see with the pinks and the one white Prima flower,which

was inspired from the lovely inspiration photo.  I mixed

white and pinks for the ribbon treatment, also.  SU

dazzling details was placed on the flowers and frame

for the shiny glitter effect.  Lace, buttons, and gems

to finish my card.

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Thanks so

much for dropping by today, hugs!

Valentines...

Baby afghan for great niece, Elizabeth.

 

Sweet Valentines for great nieces, Alayna, Allison,

 and Elizabeth.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi there!

 

How are you doing today?  I finally mailed out a project

that took me far too long to finish.  My great niece,

Elizabeth, was born several months ago.  And, I finally

mailed out the afghan to her along with cute little CAS

Valentines for her and her sisters.  I can't remember when

I made a card so simple, but I did want to get them out in

the mail today.  I came up with this simple design and put

a little something inside for their piggy banks.  They live

in Michigan and I don't often see the little darlings.  I'm

sure they will have lots of fun on Valentine's Day!

 

 

My cards were so easy to make with Bazzill white base.

I used SU heart punch, pearls from Queen&Company, and

twine from Doodlebug.  I can't tell ya how relieved I was

when I mailed this package today...hehehe!  I have

another niece that is due in May with a boy.  Yikes,

I better get started on another afghan to finish it in time!

 

 

Well, that's it for now.  Thank you for viewing the afghan

and cards I made!  Hope you are having fun with your

crafts!  Take care and have a wonderful week, hugs!

 



Friend...

 

Hi Friends!

 

How's your Superbowl Sunday going today?  I'm not a big fan

of either team that is playing today, so may the best team win!

I will watch the game off and on while organizing my flower

collection.  I bought some containers at Jo-Ann Fabric the

other day that were on sale. This little craft room of mine

needs some major organization! 

 

Anyways, I got going with my crafty fingers and made

another Valentine card.  This card is being entered over

at The Dynamic Duos.    We were to follow the above

colors of real red and pretty in pink.

 

I punched several hearts using my SU punch.  I love

this punch since it makes three different sizes of hearts

at one time.  The patterned paper is from Crate Paper

(Fourteen), which is such a sweet line of Valentine paper!

Pearls, ribbon, and pearl cotton to finish the card. 

 

Thanks so much for dropping by and have a wonderful

week, hugs!
