Some Hugs and a Few 'Flies


Can you ever have enough "I am thinking of you" cards? I love this sentiment stamp from SU! Makes me feel warm inside every time I see it. All my supplies are SU! other than the Sizzix tag die and Walmart wired ribbon leftover from Christmas.

Wow moving from a laptop to a desktop really magnifies the flaws in my cards and photography!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week - there is a chance of a few snow flakes here in Middle Alabama. That is a rare occasion so everyone is either excited or freaking out (even me - LOL - I just don't know which one to do). A few days ago it was in the 70s so we are a mixed up bunch.

Hugz!

    Just glad you're getting to upload this pretty card, Nancy. You've had too much puter trouble. You better not get snow and the people in North AL be left out. I don't think I'll see a flake...just more rain. We've had 13 inches and maybe a little more since the middle of December. We're close to needing an ark. I'll be checking the windows for a flake to fall. LOL

    Wonderful card. Love the argyle background. Glad you've got a computer to use, even if it's a desktop :-). I hope the snow waits till I get back to AL before starting - hate driving in it

    Love this!! The yellow and grey colour combo - check, the butterfly - check, the sentiment - check. It just works so beautifully together :)

    My kitchen is the heart of my home. This is where my family gathers. It lives with my kids running around fighting for the last cookie! I want it stylish because we spend so much time here. Getting Quartz Kitchen Countertop was the cherry on the cake. I love it!

    What flaws? I don't see them! I had some of this paper, I think. It's Stamping Up, right? Love the cluster of butterflies. :)

    Bust me up girl....what are you talking about "flaws"???? Your cards do not look any different to me. We are most critical of ourselves sometimes to the point of taking away are creativity!!! Make what you love, love what you make. This is so pretty. I love that paper and the embossed butterflies are perfect.
    Bear Hugs,

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

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!

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
