Scraps and Such...

Good Morning!
(Well, at least it is still morning as I write this! I don't know how the morning has gotten away from me so quickly!)

I decided to make a card this morning and I had a plan in my head as to how it would look.... let me tell you, this card is NOTHING like that plan! How does that happen? Does it ever happen to you?
First of all - my craft table is such a "mess" I guess I just picked from what was already in front of me instead of cleaning and planning!

Here is a picture I took right after I finished the card ... does your table ever get like this?


Here is the card I made... using DSP from the retired Occasions Mini ... I versamarked the large flower from the Fabulous Floret set (Summer Mini) on the Pink Pirouette CS; popped a sentiment from the set "Happy Greetings" (Summer Mini); Used the Fancy Flower punch to punch out the sentiment; Matted all with River Rock CS...
Now off to clean that table so I can get down to serious business :)
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a good one!
Blessings and HUGS!

BRRRRR -

Hi All!
BRRRRRRR - It is a COLD one today...
[ -13 with wind chill of about -21 ]
I'm hoping that this spring-like card will take your mind off the chill in the air and transport you to a warmer place!


I used Tangerine Tango CS; TT and Old Olive ink; Greenhouse Gala DSP. I used the Sweetheart stamp set for the heart flower, bird, sentiment; then took the heart from Paisley Prints and stamped it inside the larger heart. Of course, I had to add a few pearls!

I hope you stay cozy and warm today!
Blessings,
Ruthie

Springtime Vintage

Good Morning!
Beautiful day today! I have the patio door open a bit to let some of that clean fresh air inside!!!! Hubby says "You're heating up the outdoors." But I gotta have me some fresh air!!!!

Here is a thank you card I made a while back ... pretty simple! I have never used the tab punch for anything  but tabs and then had a light bulb moment! I would imagine this has been done a thousand times or more ... but for me it was new!


Thanks for stopping by today!
Just so yah know - I will be absent from blogger land for most of the next week - hoping to return next weekend!
Blessings on you!

Springtime Vintage & Rich Razzleberry...

Greetings on this first day of the New Year!
My hubby worked overnight on New Years Eve... so one of my crafting friends came over for supper, and some serious card making!  :) We later watched a movie, and she left around 2230... I was in bed by 0001!

Here is one of the Thank You cards I made... using the Springtime Vintage DSP from the Occassions Mini. I love this paper!!!!  Ordering from this mini begins January 4th!
I used Pear Pizzazz & Rich Razzleberry CS and the RR striped ribbon! I love how this co-ordinated with the DSP.


Thanks for peekin' today!
See you next week!

Revised and Embellished!

After I made and posted the cards for the OLW34 challenge yesterday I felt like they were not complete... So I took a few minutes in the evening to revise and embellish them!

Here is the Lovely As a Tree card with glass glitter added to it; I also sponged and punched it! LOL!


 Friends 24-7 has had a corner punch used on it and I added pearls to the stamped image.

Thanks for peeking!
Have a great day!
Blessings on yah!

Blueberry Crisp!

Good afternoon!
Has this day been something else or what! Amazing weather!

I had lunch today with a friend I haven't seen all summer - we had a lot of catching up to do! Before I left the house I made this card for her...
I used the DP Blueberry Crisp - love the shades of blue and sand in this paper! Here is a peek at the new label punch that will be available in September when the new Mini goes into effect.


I hope you've had a great day!
Blessings,

Clean and Simple!

And oh, so pretty!

I love making simple cards - last week I spent some time helping a gal get her craft room together - we hadn't finished the project ... but we had moved the "stampin' table" into the room and we just had to sit down and make some cards. LOL! I mean, after all! Too much work and not enough stampin' makes one crazy! :) Or so I think!
I'll show you a couple of the cards I made in a minute...

Take a peek at the picture under my header.... that night as I drove home, the sun was setting in the west... I hurried (as much as I dared) to get home quickly. Our deck looks to the west and we see magnificent sunsets. This was the first time this summer I had seen the sun so "on fire" - it looked like a ball of fire in the sky - of course, the picture doesn't do the real thing justice. It was awesome to see! Just another reminder of how glorious our Creator is!

Here are a couple of the cards I made....some Stampin' Up product used and some non S. Up!
When I first saw Nature's Nest I didn't like the seashell... thought it was too small to do anything with. However, I've changed my mind - woman's perogative, right? Here I masked the Melon shell and stamped a Crushed Curry one behind it.

Maybe this little bird needs a branch in his mouth?????

Here is another peek at that sun - I have this kids song running in my head now - "Sun, Sun Mister Golden Sun ....."
I rambled this morning, didn't I? Hope you have a wonderful day today and that the SON shines in your heart!
Blessings!

On A Foggy Tuesday!

Good Morning!
Wasn't yesterday a beauty? Wow!
Spent yesterday afternoon with family and friends, enjoying the sunshine.
Today - I really need to do some housework! Ugh! that dreaded word!
Again - I can't see much of my craft table - how does that happen?
Enough of that!

Here are a couple cards I made a week or so ago with DP that a friend brought along to our stampin' day.... it is not Stampin' Up! but is sooooo pretty ... all the rest of the supplies used are S. Up!

Have a wonderful day! May it be filled with laughter and love!
Blessings,
Ruthie

A Cased Card!

Hey!
It's Wednesday evening...
This has been a rainy day! But the gardens sure need rain! So it is a good thing!
I fnished my craft room cleaning and purging... have all my inks and CS sorted and organized according to the new Color Collections from Stampin' Up! I LOVE the Brights.... and the new colors!

Mid afternoon a friend dropped in and we just had to make a card! You know how it is.  :)
We cased this card from Selma at Selma`s Stampin Corner - from her card for June 10. This is not the same as hers - size is smaller and fold is different. Used her idea and am lovin` it!

Hope you enjoyed. 
I have another one to show you soon - using the same idea but not the same. Makes me think of the children`s song... ``which of these things is not like the other`` .... don`t ask my why my ole brain went there! :)

Have a great evening and a blessed day tomorrow!

Very Thankful!

I am feeling very thankful today! This has been an awesome week - weather wise! and - I've had the girls home and we've been so busy.... I've started on living a healthier life style - eating healthier and walking! and it is paying off!
Just a couple cards to show you that I made a while back... using the Very Thankful set. I actually cut the "thank you" away from the peacock - I love the font of it and know I'll use it a lot so wanted it to be separate from the main stamp.

Have a wonderful day!

Curvy Flowers (from Mary Fish) - AND - I won Blog Candy!

Hey!
Another beautiful day!
     Don't yah love it?
Whoooo Hoooo - Last night when I checked my eamils I discovered that I was a random winner of Blog Candy from Color Throwdown   http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/
Don't  know what it will be - I'll have some surprises over the next couple weeks as each of the gals on their team will be sending me something individually! Such fun!

The card for today was totally cased from another Stampin' Up! demonstrator (Mary Fish).... check out her site here:
http://www.stampinpretty.com/

When I saw hers I just knew I had to copy it! I love the curvy lines and all the flowers... so simple to make and such a pretty end result! I made this one with "In Colors"; one day soon I'm going to do one for Easter using Soft Subtles and an Easter sentiment.


Have a great day!
Enjoy the sunshine!

Nature's Nest

Good Morning everyone!
We had a great weekend... did lots of "girlie" stuff! :)
Here is a card I made last week from "Nature's Nest." This has to be my new "favorite" stamp set from Stampin' Up! It is so versatile! I used the grass from Inspired By Nature; the dragonfly and the turtle are from NN.
Of course, anyone who knows me well knows the dragonfly does it for me! Isn't he beautiful?


This is a close up of the turtle! ... he's pretty cute too!

Thanks for peeking today! keep checking back - my MOJO has returned! Have a wonderful day even tho it is rather dismal outside!

Thank You ...

WHOA! Where did a week go? I can't believe that a week has passed by - it has been a busy one for me.
I hope the next one calms down a little!
Here is a Thank You card I made the other day... I used DP from Sweet Pea - it's great!
I also covered a bit of the back and the flap of the envelope - used the small heart punch on it.
This card is for a special lady who has blessed a group of young moms in our church - I left lots of white space for them to write little notes to her.

         Outside:                                                                        
Envelope...

Hope you had a great week and are ready for a relaxing weekend.
I have Club next Tuesday and I'm away on Monday ...
guess what I'm doing this weekend!
Blessings!
