Some Fun Cards


This week's Sassy Cheryl challenge is "Outdoor Fun and Games." I used this great Sassy Cheryl image which is only $1 in the store right now. I also used a cool card shape called the Layered Window Frame - HERE is the tutorial if you want to check it out.


I made this card for a friend at work who just lost her Grandmother. For my inspiration, I used THIS card by Sabrina (Cook22 on SCS). Sabrina is one of the Queens being revisited on the Queen for the Day challenge at SCS.



This card is my case of Sue (coffeestamper on SCS) who is also one of the Queens being revisited on . Sue loves caffeine so I couldn't resist doing a coffee card. HERE is Sue's card I cased.

Can you tell I woke up at 5:00 this morning? My friend Jill shared THIS great video this week and I am passing it on - you need to watch it and if you have seen it, you need to watch it again. It cracks me up every time I think about it!

HUGZ!!!

    Five a.m. is too early, girl. Although, I was awake by 6:30 a.m. or before.

    What super cards! I love the window frame on your first card and the one honoring Sabrina is just beautiful. Yep, that caffeine is coffeestamper Sue for sure. Great houndstooth. She uses it quite often, too.

    Yep, that's me to a tee!!! Thank you for sharing that video-I laughed all the way through it. Now I know to blame my addiction on "YouTube". My husband is as much to blame because he is my enabler. That man asks me every week if I want to go to Michael's. Who am I to say no!!!! Last weekend he took me to Michael's, JoAnn's, and Hobby Lobby in one day!!! Oh my goodness that gave me an attitude adjustment this morning. Exactly what I need to put my big girl pants on and get me to work...lol Love that window frame card. I pinned it to my tutorials as I want to do that in the future. Your sympathy card is so elegant-love that embossing. Cute coffee card as well-love the paper.
    Bear Hugs,
    Carol

    Beautiful cards, Nancy. What a video. Now that poor lady has no room to work on her craft table with all her new "stuff" from you tube. :)

    OMG, a three-fer! You have been busy. Little girl at the beach is adorable.
    Love the little sentiment sign too. And what a great design!

    Your second card is stunning, your friend is going to be so appreciative that you
    thought of her with this beauty.

    Your coffee card is so darn cute, love the papers and colors you chose.

    Great work, Nancy, love them all.

    Nancy your cards are always inspiring. I love the work you put in to them. Never too much, always just enough to say "classy". The little Sassy gal is just beautiful. She looks like a picture of a little "Pawleys Island" girl. Love it.

    All of these are amazing. Love your take on the layered window frame (so much better than the original). The second one is a fabulous monochromatic card and LOVE that background (is it a stamp or embossing folder?). And the color combo on the coffee card is a great combination.

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.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

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.  We had a bit of sadness yesterday when another neighb

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo
