Stamp-less Birthday!

Good Morning!
I have a stamp-less card to share today! I love this dp.... I have no idea what it is! Carol gave it to me while she was here this spring, I think... not sure! Any hoo my card base is basic black layered with tempting turquoise, basic black and the mystery dp! My sentiment is chip board and the flowers are from my stash! It really is pretty IRL! That's it for today! See you tomorrow!

Believe

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. We have a huge winter storm warning for tomorrow :0( 8 to 10 inches more snow . This is so NOT cool! Since DH can't operate the snow shovel and even the plow is difficult for him I've quit my part time job to pick up the slack. Plowing is actually kinda fun! I'm sure the newness will wear off!
Ok onto my card. This was a really quick and simple card. Another example of how great paper can do all the work! My card base is early espresso layered with riding hood red and deck the halls dp. My sentiment is from Heartfelts believe set. I would get the # for you but DH is sleeping. I added a little stitching and there you have it Wha La!

Rose Bookmark

Good Sunday Morning!

It's the last Sunday of the month and it's also my first post as a Rose!I feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of women! Connie Rose wants us to make a book mark. No other requirements... simply make a bookmark. I've created mine with a friend in mind. She turns 50 this year and is an avid reader. She also works in my shop as the nail tech. I plan on doing the whole shop in black balloons and over the hill stuff all over!

I made a standard size card with a pocket for the bookmark. My card base is riding hood red layered with deck the halls dp (luscious paper).I used Live like you mean it for my focal image. My  pocket was created with nesties added a few pearls and ribbon and there you have it! Have yourself a great day I will be plowing snow :0(

Happy Birthday Mary Anne Rose!

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I really enjoyed

mine! Both my kids and DH kids were here! Lot's of love

and laughter.... and great food! 

My card today has already been delivered to Mary Anne Rose!

This is for her 29th birthday! HEHEHEHE!

This image really reminded me of the birthday girl! She speaks

very fondly of the swans on the lake at her house! I don't know if

these resemble her little friends or not, it just made me think of

her! So pop over and wish Mary Anne a very Happy Birthday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lumpy Mail...

Good Morning,
 We have -10 with the wind chill this morning BRRRRR! Now it's supposed to warm up. Sure glad we got the snow before the cold, that will save my flowers!
My card today is a bit lumpy-  this one will cost extra to mail LOL! No actually the ornament will lay just about flat! This is another card created with the left overs from our stamp - a-stack. Same design as an earlier card except I added an early espresso layer. Well that's it for today.... off to work I go!

Boob Tube Inspiration!

Good Morning!
I have to tell you the inspiration for this card came off of the tv! We were watching Law and Order and there was a picture on the wall behind Bobby... thus this card was born! I think it fits into the challenge at Joan's Gardens.
1. Create a Thanks giving card
2. Use something Fallish such as Leaves, Pumpkins or Indian Corn (if you don't have a        stamp use a leaf from your tree.
3. The color Green.
4. Some kind of swirl or vine.
 I have the thanks, leaves, green and a swirl!  Guess that qualifies! I even finished the inside! If I wasn't so lazy I would go take a picture of it and show it to you...hehehe!
Have you checked out the sale going on at Joan's Gardens?
 

Mojo 166

I'm back... can you believe it?? Two post in one day and it's not even 6 AM. Woo Hoo! This is for the Mojo sketch this week. Fun sketch. I used SU lap of luxury dp.... it did all the work! My sentiment is from well scripted. Love how it turned out! On a very fowl note... we have about 3inches of SNOW and it's still snowing UCKKKKK! Ok I feel better, better go clear off the deck DH is not allowed to operate a snow shove : 0(

Dashing thru the Snow!

    Yes I said snow ... UGGGGH! I had to go over 4th of July pass last night about 11pm. I was pure black and raining harder than I have ever seen it rain. It took me around an hr when it usually take 35 mins. This morning I got up at 5:30 no snow... I left the house @ 7 and we had snow! Up on the pass there was about 4 inches ICKICKICK! I don't like it at all!

Ok enough wining... it is what it is! Onto my card! My card base is riding hood red layered with very vanilla and jolly holiday dp. Dasher is my focal point, he is one of my favs! That's it for today ,have a great one and see you tomorrow!

My card today was one I created with last years dp... another attempt to get it used up! I made a huge dent in it :0) My colors are non traditional at best! My card base is old olive layered with whisper white and early espresso. My focal image is from holiday best! Sorry this is short and sweet.... have to get ready for work! Have a great day!

Golden Bobble!

Good Morning!

We had a crazy wild storm last night! Monsoonal...  wind and lots of rain. Our neighbor has a pine tree next to our fence. When the wind blows all the pine cones and needles land on our deck roof lots of noise... no sleep! UGGGH! The Realtor comes to do the virtual tour today!  I think we're ready, just need to run the vacuum to make it look fresh!  Ok onto my card! This is another made with leftovers! My card base is real red layered with very vanilla , can't remember what the dp is! I would have to get out of my chair and go look and that's not happening! I embossed my ornament with gold EP added a little gold ribbon and a sentiment.... wha la! Have yourself a great day!

Good Morning....
Can you believe it's Friday already. Man this week has flown by! Before we know it, it will be spring :) LOL! My card today is another quick and simple Christmas card. I think I'm about done with these. I will go through them this weekend and see where I'm at! My card base is night of navy layered with whisper white and more night of navy. I embossed my pines with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and added a little snow! My sentiment is from punch potpourri. I punched it out with the scallop circle punch and then again with a circle punch and popped up the center. I really like how it turned out and it  was simple! Have a great weekend friends!

Seeing Spots *****

Good Morning!
I have another Christmas card to share with you today! This is also a quick card to create! My base is kraft layered with riding hood red and whisper white. I ran my white through the big shot with spotty embossing folder. Don't remember the name of it!  I love the space for the sentiment though! I simply stamped my ornaments, punched them out and there you have it.... another Christmas card done! My week has been super,super busy! My part time job seems to suck up any spare time I have during the week! Thank goodness I can blurf between clients at work! I have a great boss.... she's a rose you know! Have a great day!

Peace~Joy~ Love

Good Morning!
Baby it's cold outside! I am freezing.... usually my inside heater keeps me very toasty LOL! So toasty my face and ears turn red and I flash like a neon sign! Ok enough of that, onto my card!
This was a really fast  card to put together. I did a little embossing stamped a sentiment and there you have it! For my card base I used Gina K PL white layered with baja breeze and more white! My sentiment is from all year cheer. That's it for me today. See you tomorrow!
P.S. I am entering this in For Fun Challenges embossing.

More of my homemade snowflakes finish it off, another Christmas card done! Short and sweet... have a great day!

Christmas Postcard in Cherry Cobbler...

Good  Morning!

I have another card made with the Christmas Postcard image. This time I embossed it in cherry cobbler. I paired it with love letter dp and very vanilla &and cherry cobbler card stock to create this Christmas card! I love how it turned out!
Are you ready for the SECRET? The lovely Roses have invited me to join their group! I am so,so honored to be a part of such a fun group! I consider all these ladies good friends and couldn't turn down the chance to play on their playground! Thanks Betty, Kerrie, Sue, Kym, Connie and Olga ! Big cyber hugs!

Christmas Postcard!

Good Morning!

This card was totally inspired by Olga's (with the secret) card yesterday. I totally was in complete awww when I saw her card! Amazingly beautiful! I changed mine up a bit! I used white dp instead of embossing and didn't have any of that gorgeous lace Olga used. I don't have any Heartfelt stamps YET, so I used a new one form the holiday mini. This beautiful image is called Christmas Postcard. It's a wonderful image with so many possibilities. I embossed mine in gold, but it could also be colored and look amazing. My poinsettias are from A Year of Flowers. They are always my "go to " poinsettias! I am entering this in Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge.... just like my friend Olga (with the secret) did! Have yourself a wonderful day!

Thinking of You!

Good Morning!

I'm stuck on purple these days... does that mean I'm getting old? My focal image is from Artful Inkables plant prints. I used the emboss resist technique. My little sis Carol gave me the dp. It's pretty cool, purple, green and gold hues. It was just a piece so I don't know where it came from! My card base is elegant eggplant layered with very vanilla and Carol's dp! I love how this turned out! Sorry this is short and sweet but I have a busy day! Have a great one!

Let the Snow Fall.... IN the Globe!

Good Morning!

It's Tuesday and that means it's time for another Artful INKables post! I used the new digi Snow globe again! This time I super sized it! That's the beauty of digi's! I used one of my old time favorite colors, mellow moss... no longer available )= My snowflakes were created by stamping versamark on my blank cs and using iridescent ice ep to emboss it. I then punch my cs out with the Martha Stewart snowflake punch.

Here is the inside. After taking the picture I decide it was to WHITE..so I did some light sponging around the edges to tone it down a bit!
