Wreath Frenzy

Hello friends.  I am still around in blog land and have a new post today.  It is all about wreaths.  I have been on a wreath kick in my card making and thought I would share some that I have made this past week(s).

This card was made last week using the DRS Designs 4-in-1 Harvest Designs image.  It has 4 smaller images (flowers, nuts, leaves, and a pumpkin). I added a few Holiday Greens die cuts behind the wreath to give it more depth, and  I did my fave ink/spray/smash background.  The sentiment is the 1 line Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from DRS Designs.
On this next wreath, I stamped the DRS Designs Potted Berry Tree image a bunch of times and let my Grandsons color them with their fingers.  When they were done, I fussy cut the trees, added some Stickles to some of the berries and then sprinkled it all with gold micro beads.  The sentiment is the Christmas Especially to You Greeting (my favorite one).
The next wreath is made with the leaves from the Harvest Designs stamp I used on the first wreath above.  I colored up the leaves with Lemon ink from CTMH and Vintage Photo Distress ink (I used my fingers).  My three year old Grandson sponged a plaid stencil to make my background (I taped it down really good).  The embossing folder on my "door" is from SU!  The inside of the wreath is the Thanks Be to God stamp which I plan to use in my Bible Art Journaling. 
One last wreath to share.  The leaves are from the same Harvest Designs stamp and the Merry Christmas Especially To You Greeting used in some of the cards above.  I also used the same EF as the card above.  This time I colored everything with a mossy green, added some die cut stars which I sparkled up with silver Stickles, and then flecked on some SnowTex for a snowy feel. 
I loved making these wreaths.  They put my in a holiday spirit and all that fussing cutting helped to relieve some stress.  I did it all while watching Halmark Christmas movies. 

Many hugz,

Nancy

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. ...
