A Bunch of CAS Cards and a Gift


This lovely beauty arrived in the mail this last week.  It is a kitchen towel and card made by Ann Merry.  Ann is so talented and I covet her kitchen towels.  She has sent me one every year for the last three years and I love every one of them!  Isn't the card cute too?  She is amazing!

I was talking on the phone with Sue Worthington (IrishGreenSue on SCS)  last night and I made a bunch of cards while I was talking to her.  I think we were on the phone an hour, but for some reason she inspired me.  My neck still hurts this morning!  Thanks for the Inspiration Sue!!!  Here are the cards I made yesterday (warning - there are a lot of them!). 



Here is another....




And another.....




And another....



And another....

And this one I made in the morning...



I actually made several more, but I am running out of time this morning - got to get ready for work.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  I will be making cards can you believe it?

Hugz, 

Nancy

    You are giving that ornament punch a work out LOL! Great mix of cards using it! Think the first one is my favorite - loved the punched out image, the musical score and the darling bows you added.

    Aren't you a fortunate person to be receiving this pretty towel..and a pretty card, too? Very sweet person, I'd say.

    Your cards are super. I didn't see the gorgeous, purple one on SCS and I LOVE that color and it is so elegant and royal looking.

    Beautiful cards! And that towel is so nice, my sister does machine embroidery and makes lovely things. So many cards, I'm jealous....

    Wow, did you do all of these in an hour? They are all awesome and all have their own special appeal. You accomplished so much. Beautifully done. I love you towel too. So much pretty details on it. You can't beat a pumpkin and pumpkin pie image.

    well, well, Nancy, just look where the muse took you and these lovely Christmas cards. Since purple is my very favorite color, I'd have to say it is my favorite, too.

    I had a peak at SARK's books over at the 'river...how wonderfully inspiring...loved the titles. And definitely on my list to peruse at my favorite thrift...

    Bless your heart for being able to talk on the phone and do something else at the same time! I have a feeble brain, unable to do that. And I definitely can't craft while drinking wine; I lose all focus and creativity!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

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!

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...
