Flowers and the Good Word!

Hello friends, I have been having a great time this weekend.  I visited one of my favorite stores in the world yesterday, Resurrect Antiques.  They have fun and quirky antiques like old bins out of textile mills, lot of old signs, old buttons, and they have lots of fun new stuff like candles, jellies, and crafts.  It is a 1 1/2 drive for us, but we love to go and then stop to eat somewhere fun on the way back.  I also had some time to make some fun cards I can share with you. 


I cased my friend Audrie (girlgeek101) at SCS  (click HERE to see the card I cased).  Audrie is the Featured Stamper on SCS this week - congrats my friend.  I am entering this card in the current ODBD challenge - Holiday- it ends today so if you want to participate too, you need to hurry. I used the OBDB Christmas Verses stamp.

I also had time to participate in the SCS Inspiration Challenge which is to be inspired by the Harry and David site.  I was inspired by THIS picture.



I used the Hydrangea and Hot Air Balloons stamp sets from MFP for this one.

Thanks for visiting! 

Hugz!!!

    Both are so beautiful. The first one is so elegant looking and love the frame you used on this. The hydrangea flowers are gorgeous! So delicate looking. Fantastic job on both of these.

    Sounds like you had a great time shopping at your favorite store. I'm very happy you were able to to that. It's also nice to spend a day doing everything you like to do. Then you came home and made gorgeous cards that we all like to see, so thank you for that. Love both of your cards today. Enjoy the day.

    So glad you have a fun place to visit and browse through those old treasures! Beautiful cards today, but I'm blown away by the hydrangea! I'm looking at the stamp set and realize you must have hand cut each one of those little flowers in your gorgeous bouquet! Fabulous and beautifully detailed!

    Nancy, both your cards are just gorgeous. I especially like the black and red with the gorgeous frame. I like the fluffy petals on the second 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....
