A Big Hug


Cream and white - one of my favorite color combinations. How lucky I am that the newest Sassy Cheryl challenge just so happens to be a Vintage cream and white challenge. I used the Just Be Yourself Sally image which is available at Sassy Cheryl Stamps or Squigglefly.

I seem to have a great need right now for cards that express hugs. I know that getting a handmade card (or any card) is like getting a hug anyway, but I need cards that REALLY pack in a hug. I decided this one should have an obvious hug message as it is going to a couple that really really need a hug and they are too far away for me to give them one.

Hope your week has gone well and that you are getting in a lot of crafting or whatever makes you smile and feel less stressed.

HUGZ,
Nancy

    WOW. . . I'm loving that banner too. Super gorgeous. Love the way you cropped the image to give her that 'BIG HUG' look. It's just lovely and oh so vintage for sure.
    Thanks for playing along in the Vintage/Cream & White challenge this week with my Sassy Gals!!!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
