Coffee Lovers Blog Hop-Fall/Winter! (2023)

Hi, Friends!

I'm back again today with another card, but this one is for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2023!  I recently purchased the Holiday Mug Additions die set from Pretty Pink Posh.  I just love how you can make a reindeer mug or a Santa mug with the wonderful cute dies!  My favorite coffee drink is Starbuck's peppermint mocha...yum!  And, that is exactly what this reindeer mug is holding today!  All stamps and dies are from PPP except for the frame die, which is from MFT.

Here is a closer photo...

You can see the pierced snowflake background in this photo.  The die is from PPP, also.

I had tons of fun making this card for the coffee blog hop and it's great seeing all the wonderful creations!

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Take care, hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, friends!

I'm hoping the above birthday card is received by my sis-in-law before she sees it here on my blog.  I already posted it on my IG if you have seen it there.  I do love the stitched dies from Spellbinder's.  It was a lot of fun stitching all the pretty flowers on this card!  I should have taken a better photo, but wanted to get it out in the mail.

Anyways, I hope all of you are doing well on this fine November day!  It's hard to believe that it's November already.  In just a few days is my birthday on the 10th.  Wow...how did I get to be this old, lol!  I now have a Medicare card.  All kidding aside, I have many blessings and celebrating my birthday with son and hubby at one of my favorite restaurants on Friday will be fun!  Next week I celebrate with my sisters.  And, I hope to celebrate with my good friend, Nancy, soon also.  Lots to be thankful for this month.  

Did you vote today?  We voted early so we already have that out of the way.  

Ok, not much else is going on right now.  Have a wonderful rest of the week and thanks so much for dropping by!  Take care!

Hugs!

Harvest Blessings!

Hello, Friends!

Happy Saturday to you!  I hope all is well your way and that you are enjoying the weekend.  I got my housework out of the way and decided to make a couple fall cards, but right now I'm sharing with you a couple cards I made while we went camping with my sis and her hubby.  Just a couple of quick easy cards to show today.  I don't remember the company the sentiment is from, but the chipboard pumpkins are from Echo Park.

Another card using an Echo Park tag.  Tags are easy to make cards, right?!  

The weather turned much cooler today.  We did enjoy a nice day in Berlin, Ohio(Amish Country) yesterday.  I was able to get some Christmas gifts and a couple birthday gifts for my sister.  We bought some kettle corn, pumpkin cookies, and a raspberry pie.  We waited in line awhile to eat at Der Dutchman, but it's always worth it for the food is so delicious!  Not sure if we will have many more sunny warm days before winter sets in, so I'm glad that we made the trip.

Ok, well that's all for now.  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs!

Season's Tweetings!

Hi, Friends!

Happy Saturday to you!  I'm up in my craft room looking at some Christmas cards that I have made recently.  I thought I could enter this one over at the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge.  I spotted the cardinals in the second photo image.  

For my card, I started with a red card base and used Altenew wash tape for the background.  The birdhouse is from SSS.  The cardinal is from Newton's Nook.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee.  I added a bow, gold dots, and white spray ink for the final touch.  I do love cardinals and get so excited when I see them around here.  I haven't seen one in awhile except when we went camping a few weeks ago.  Just this morning I saw a blue jay.  It's so fun watching the birds especially at the bird feeders and bird bath.

Well, that's all for today.  We are watching the Ohio State v. Penn State football game right now.  It looks like it's going to be a good game!  Go Bucks!!

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a great weekend!

Hugs!
