Chandelier Inspired Card

This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge pics are wonderful again!!!
 

 
I love all of them and could have gone with any one of the 50 ideas they inspired in my mind!  I needed a birthday card for my Pop so I went a little more masculine (hence the colors, textures, and camo paper).  He loved it! 
 
 
 
I used MFP's Oh Beans and Hot Air Balloons sets.  Hope you have time to come play with us in the next two weeks - we would really love to see how these pictures inspire you too.
 
Hugz!

    What a very cool card for your Pop. I love the burlap, corrugated board, and feathers for steam. You are so clever.
    Nancy, my wonderful package of winnings arrived yesterday. Love it and looking forward to using those stamps. Thanks so much.

    I would have to say this is an ideal card for a Dad. It has the masculine look coupled with the little heart to let him know you love him. Love that "steaming" coffee. Have a wonderful day. We are getting a trace - 2 inches of snow tomorrow morning.

    what a great take on the inspiration photos, Nancy! Your dad will love the warmth of your pretty card. (Happy Birthday to Your Dad!) LOL Actually, I'd love making the teacup projects in your inspiration pieces, and even the unusual cascading chandelier with the utensils - but I'd hat cleaning them and dusting them! Great project, Nancy! hugs, de

    What an amazing masculine card for your Pop! I love the corrugated panel, but how did you create the steam from the cups?! That's incredibly creative and I love how it turned out! NJ!

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. ...
