Doily Field Flowers

Good afternoon!
Just a quick post for you today... I had a Workshop last night and this is a sample of the "make and take".
This one is done in Whisper White, Marina Mist and Pacific Point. I stamped the doily stamps from Delicate Doilies in MM, stamped them off and then stamped them on the WW CS. We glittered the flower centers ( from Field Flowers) and doubled up on the ribbon.

 Here is the inside -

 This one is made using Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, and Wisteria Wonder....

Thanks for stopping by today - have a great weekend! See you all next week!

FALL is in the air!

HI Everyone!
Boy! Yesterday was sure a FALL day around here! A couple days ago I took a friend to the Valley and we saw leaves turning color already! What's with that, anyway?
Well - I guess along that line - I have been thinking of the Fall leaves; and the Thanksgiving season which will be upon us (in Canada) in another month - and decided to haul out the Big Shot Die "Leaves #2". I cut out some colored leaves, ran them thru an embossing folder and made a couple cards!

For this first one I also used the stamp set - Lovely as A Tree - I stamped it in Early Espresso; and then second generation stamped it behind the first image.... creating the woodsy scene. I could have been more creative and sponged a sky and grass - but as you can see ... that didn't happen! :) I love these die-cut leaves but don't think to use them until Fall rolls around each year. The DSP is from the Mocha Morning combo!

 here is the inside of this card -

The second card is pretty basic - used some punches for the circles and a piece of the scallopped dotted ribbon --- love this ribbon! It comes in so many colors!  I used versamark ink and stamped leaves all over the card itself.

Thanks for visiting me today!

I hope you will come again!

Blessings and HUGS!

Sympathy -

Hi Stampers!
Happy Labor Day!
For some of you that means getting back to a routine of lunches, school busses, homework, and such. For me it means ..... none of that! :) I can continue on my "retirement routine" - gotta love that!

I have a sympathy card for you today ... using DSP and the Summer Solstice stamp set... A dear lady whom I've known all my life has gone to be with the Lord. She certainly was "no ordinary person"! What a blessing she was to everyone who knew her. I was very fortunate to know her when I was a child ... in her Sunday School classes, then CGIT; running across her path as a nurse; and in later years we actually worked together in Nursing Education! Here is the card I have made for her family ....

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Solstice

Hi Stampers!
It's another gorgeous day out there!!!

I made a card this morning using the "new-to-me" set called Summer Solstice.... "Solstice" means the two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the equator - about June 21 and December 22. Just thought I'd share that little piece of trivia with you this morning! :0

Here is the card... Used Lucky Limeade CS and some scaps that were sitting on my table. I versa marked the butterfly on this CS and glittered the center of the flowers. This actually started out as a "goof" - I stamped the Eggplant flower and one of the petals didn't get inked or stamed properly ... so I decided to cut it out, stamp a couple more flowers, and hide the goof! Gotta love that! :) All 3 flowers are popped.

 On the inside I VersaMarked the butterfly on the CS and 2nd generation stamped it in LL ink on the Whisper White piece -

 Here are the glittery flowers! Aren't they pretty?

Thanks for stopping by today!
I'm heading to town shortly - hoping to enjoy some of this sunshine!
Blessings and HUGS!

One Layer Doily...

Happy September!
WOW! Where did July and August go? They just flew by! I don't know about you but I wait, with great anticipation, for the summer months to get here and then it seems that in the blink of an eye they have gone! And - as I get older - the months/years fly by faster! Makes me wonder if it was like this for my parents when they were my age - or is it just this fast-paced world we live in.

Well! Enough of that - you came here to see a card so .... here it is - a very simple one layer card. I don't usually make one layer cards... I like to layer and use dimensionals; use DSP and color! But I saw a card a while ago on a blog that is similar to this one - wish I remembered where so I could give the designer credit.
I used Whisper White CS; Pacific Point and Crumb Cake inks; generic bling.

Hope you enjoyed your peek today! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the sunshine and make wonderful memories!
HUGS!
