Because I Care

Here is a quick post...
What a glorious day this has been ... went to the beach (Port Maitland) with a friend and Teddie - had a great walk as the tide was coming back in. Teddie saw a seagull and thought he could catch it! Just like he does with the crows here on the deck! :)

Here is a card I made after I finished cleaning my craft room - woooo hoooo!
Finally! I now have to get my paper and ink pads in order according to the new Strampin' Up! color categories... that is the job for Wednesday morning.

I used the new color - Cherry Cobbler - and the Hostess set "Because I Care"...

Thanks for peeking in today! Hope it was a great one for you!
Blessings!

Certainly Celery and Tangerine Tango!

Ummm! what will this card be like?
Sorry! No Card!
I have finally finished re-doing my old office in these colors... it will no longer be the "office" - although the file cabinets are still there; and I will continue to met with the occasional person there. It is now my Study! A place to read, reflect, meditate and study!
And I'm lovin' it!

Here are some views around the room.... (the pics don't do the color justice)
Thanks for peeking in today!

Good morning!

I'm not sure what is going on here today ... up at 6:30 ... ummmmm - wonder what that's all about.

I am in the process of redoing my "office" - for the month of May it became a guest room; now it is being transformed... stripped the border off - it is now painted and ready to be put back to rights. It will become a place for me to go to, to be quiet and reflective; to read and study; to meditate on HIM.  We will now call it the "Study" ... :)

 Here is a card I made the other day using the embossing folder called Vintage Wallpaper - (some gald I didn't have to strip wallpaper from my room!) This folder will be available as of July 1st when the new catty goes into effect. Love that new catty!
This is a pretty simple card... used Cherry Cobbler as the background CS; the embossed piece is Barely Banana which is retiring; the ribbon is Kraft ribbon; and the sentiment uses Whisper White and the New Crumb Cake (the old Kraft). The sentiment is from a new Level 1 hostess set called "Because I Care".

Here is the inside of this card...

Thanks for peeking here today! Hope you have a wonderful day! filled with sunshine in your heart!

Blessings... Ruthie

The Morning After -

Good morning!
What a beautiful one it is! Mr. Cardinal is singing to me this morning! What an awesome sound that is!!!

We had a great time at Club last night... here are a few pics of the evening!
The gals hard at work - they were so full of energy last night ... :)

Here are a couple attempts at the Bargello technique....

Working on the spot light card - and a completed "Scallop" card.

Thanks for peeking in today! Have a good one!

Club Tonight!

Hi Everyone!
It's Club night tonight! That's always so much fun! I usually stress over "what to do" and "will they enjoy themselves" - of course, as with all "stress or worry",  it is for naught! Why can't I (we) learn that lesson?
We always make 2 - 3 cards and do a NEW technique... I'll show you samples of that tomorrow! :)

Here is some of what we will do tonight:
This card uses the spotlight technique and that great new set called Elements of Style - this has to be my Fav right now! :)

.

They will also be able to do it this way if they choose -

This is another "little" card .... using the middle size scallop circle die with the CB or Big Shot. I saw this on a site the other day and quite liked it beacuse all the scallops are visible - I'm not a fan of the card made with the scallops folded over on the top.

And last but certainly not least - just have to show you this pic of my Jasper Teddie ... When I sit at my computer he always brings me his toy and wants to play.... which I've become very good at doing with one hand for a throw now and then .... he accepts that quite willingly.

Sometimes he comes in and just lays at my feet.

Ahhhhhh - the love of a dog! Unconditional .

I apologize for the fuzziness -

Have a blessed day - Enjoy the sun and rejoice in the day!
