A Wish for Cooler Weather

I am so ready for cooler weather! Moved Allie into her apartment in Birmingham yesterday and it was hot! This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to make a Winter Card and at least pretend it was cooler! Here are Shirley's wonderful inspiration pictures:



I picked the middle blue floor and my Winter wishes for inspiration on my card:


I used the snowflake stamp from the MFP Calendar set and a sentiment from the brand new Brrrr set.

Hope you will join us!

Hugz!

    A stunning take on the inspiration photos. Love the distressed edges and kind of old world feel to your creation.

    I love your card, Nancy, and I hope it helped cool you down. I know you miss your sweet daughter already. It's so hard with they are away. Would you believe our weather has been very cool and rainy this year? We have been more in the mid to high 80's than 90's. We haven't even seen a 100 degrees. What is going on here in North AL? You would have loved it. I don't because it doesn't seem like summer to me. And, you know, I love hot weather. Crazy me!!!!!!!!!! :-)

    This is quite pretty with all the distressing and snowflakes. We can't relate with your hot weather up here in PA, because it's been like perfect autumn weather for most of August! It has to be so hard knowing your DD is off on her own at school now, but you can be very proud! She's headed in the right direction thanks to you :)

    Goodness, when I first saw the pictures, I thought you were going to tell us that's your daughter's apartment! Pretty card, but we don't need a chill, we're already having one!

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
