Mr. C - again!

Hi all!
It's Friday the 13th ... for me it is a wonderful day ... my granddaughter is 7 years old today! I was just talking with her mom (my daughter) and we were reminising! 7 years ago Hubby and I were on the road to Halifax in a terrible rainstorm ... Ang had called and said Paul was taking her to the hopspital ... we better come! By the time we got there she was well on her way ... however they had discovered that the babe was breech and would have to do a C. section! So little Madison was born 6 weeks early and spent almost 3 weeks in hospital before she could go home with mom and dad! What a blessing she is to us all! Nothing like grandchildren!

Here are more bessings in my life:

A beautiful day like yesterday!

When I look out my window and see the male Cardinal I exclaim, "OH! There's Mr. C!" He is just too gorgeous and such a blessing to me!

Readers of my blogs!

And so much more....
So - here is another Cardinal card! Very simply done!

Thanks for peeking - have a good one!

POLISHED STONE revisited....

Hi everyone!
What a beautiful day! I was just outside for a couple minutes in my shirt sleeves - no jacket - it's awesome! How I wish this would stay with us!!!!!

I have taken the samples I showed you a while back of the Polished Stone technique and made them into a couple Christmas cards....
This one uses tempting Turquoise and White ... I don't remember the other color of reinker I used on the background - I think it was a lighter blue - not sure. :(

For this one I used Rich Razzleberry, Chocolate Chip and another pink reinker ... RR card stock, white embossing powder.... I really like how the CChip floated around like it did to make outline edges ...
Hope you enjoyed your peek today!
Have a wonderful day! I put together a pictoral tour of our farm on http://peaceinthepieces.blogspot.com/ if you're interested!
Blessings on yah!

Wednesday's Card!

Hi Stampers! ;)

Here is my card for today... I'm not sure of the name ... maybe "Stair Step"?????
Anyway - it's fun to do... and could be adapted to much more than a Christmas Card!
I used Old Olive (are you surpirsed?) and Rose Red as the primary colors. The ribbon is striped grograin found on page 183 of the catty ... it is 1 & 1/4 inches wide ... so soft and pliable ... I love it! The snowflakes are made with a retired snowflake punch... and of course, Dasher again! He is just tooooooo pretty!

Here is a side view of the card.
Hope you enjoyed your peek today!

Take time to remember our Vets and all our service people!
Blessings!
