PLAID, PLAID, PLAID!

I think plaid is such a fun word.  It is kind of fun to say especially if you say it three times fast!

I have three plaid creations today - 2 cards and one scrapbook page for a co-worker's retirement book.

The retirement book has 36 pages - each person working with Jimmy is making up a page full of memories and well wishes.  I put a bunch of things I will miss most about him in the pocket with my picture on it.  I know he is going to love this book. 

One of the girls at work got THIS great little printer from Amazon that prints small pictures straight from your camera. She took one of each of us and we are all making our own pages. 

I was inspired on this page by a plaid shirt from the SCS Inspiration site - Paper & Stitch.


My next creation is a card made with a plaid stencil.  I was inspired by a Fall colored Tea Towel from One Kings Lane.  Since I am still on a Western Kick, I added some fun boots from the DRS Designs 4-in-1 Cowboy Gear image and the fun Boots and Bling  Sentiment.


Since I had the stencil out, I just made up another card adding in more colors and a Happy Birthday image and leaves from DRS Designs.



Hope you are doing well, friends!

Hugz,

Nancy

    Fabulous Plaid creations Nancy, I love plaid as well, I think it is especially good for masculine and Autumn/winter makes. Your first project is fabulous, lots of super details and I love the super plaid stencil.

    What a superb creation is that book. I am sure Jimmy will appreciate it. I like the plaid cards too. You are so talented.

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. ...
