Fireflies!



The new Squigglefly challenge is to make a Thinking of You card. Rhonda's DT group (the group I am on) is off this week and Holley's group is doing the inspiration - they were so inspiring that I had to make a card too. I made my card with an image that is new to the store called Firefly Frenzy - Maddie (Cheryl Grant). When I was making this card, I remembered I had an old SU! set that had a mason jar image and I used that for the jars behind my image. If you look at the bottom left where the flowers are and look to the right of the arrangement, you can see a little purple flower. That is my first attempt at a dryer sheet flower. I know it is small and hard to see, but I finally tried one (Benzi and Emzi I hope you are reading this - I know I told you both in the past I was going to try one).

Hugz!

  3. Yay for you, Nancy. I'm glad you made a dryer sheet flower. Aren't they easy? I'm thinking you made that large flower, too. You always make the best ones. I wanted to make one of your flowers when I cased your QFTD card but knew I probably couldn't accomplish it. This is the cutest card you've created. Love the added jar. Reminds me of when I was little and catching fireflies.

    BTW, your card I cased really did have a history. Glad it is now in your daughter's hands to treasure.

  15. What a cute idea to use that jar su stamp for the background. It goes so well with the image. Your flowers are so pretty. I still didn't do a dryer sheet flower yet but yours is darling. How fun and fabulous your card is!

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. ...
