Fun Saturday Cards

Fun day. Got to spend time with my Mom, go shopping, take a nap and play cards - so it was a great day! All three of these cards were made for the Inspiration Challenge on SCS.



I can't close without giving the link to making these spellbinder flowers - you have to visit Jerri Kay's blog called A Touch of Grace. I haven't visited her gallery in awhile so my technique is old - I visited todayand she has all new tutorials which I can't wait to look at - her stuff is amazing! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

    All 3 are gorgeous!!!! The embossing on the first adds another layer of elegance! I love how you popped up the flowers on your celebrate card! I am crazy for branches without leaves whether IRL or in art!

    Oh, these cards are all so beautiful, Nancy. I love Jerri Kay and I remember when you used to do so many of those wonderful flowers like the one on your first card and they were all made to perfection and stunning. I could just sit and stare at that tree card...so beautiful.

    3 super stunning cards. Thanks for sharing the flower link. I definitely need to check it out. Your rose is gorgeous, and really pretty with the cream against the cream embossed background. So elegant. Also loved #2 with the pretty flowers & the pink centers against that graphic texture. I think #3 is probably my fav with the sponging and the way you've created this quarter view - Such beautiful sponging and what a very impressive design layout. TFS - Happy Labor Day

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...
