Flowers and the Good Word!

Hello friends, I have been having a great time this weekend.  I visited one of my favorite stores in the world yesterday, Resurrect Antiques.  They have fun and quirky antiques like old bins out of textile mills, lot of old signs, old buttons, and they have lots of fun new stuff like candles, jellies, and crafts.  It is a 1 1/2 drive for us, but we love to go and then stop to eat somewhere fun on the way back.  I also had some time to make some fun cards I can share with you. 


I cased my friend Audrie (girlgeek101) at SCS  (click HERE to see the card I cased).  Audrie is the Featured Stamper on SCS this week - congrats my friend.  I am entering this card in the current ODBD challenge - Holiday- it ends today so if you want to participate too, you need to hurry. I used the OBDB Christmas Verses stamp.

I also had time to participate in the SCS Inspiration Challenge which is to be inspired by the Harry and David site.  I was inspired by THIS picture.



I used the Hydrangea and Hot Air Balloons stamp sets from MFP for this one.

Thanks for visiting! 

Hugz!!!

    Both are so beautiful. The first one is so elegant looking and love the frame you used on this. The hydrangea flowers are gorgeous! So delicate looking. Fantastic job on both of these.

    Sounds like you had a great time shopping at your favorite store. I'm very happy you were able to to that. It's also nice to spend a day doing everything you like to do. Then you came home and made gorgeous cards that we all like to see, so thank you for that. Love both of your cards today. Enjoy the day.

    So glad you have a fun place to visit and browse through those old treasures! Beautiful cards today, but I'm blown away by the hydrangea! I'm looking at the stamp set and realize you must have hand cut each one of those little flowers in your gorgeous bouquet! Fabulous and beautifully detailed!

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. ...
