Oval Snow Buddy!

Hey!
Another gorgeous Fall day - and it is Friday!
Last evening I went to a Surprise Birthday Party for a friend who is turning 50.... of course, there were all the cracks about getting older and being "over the hill" etc! Hey - the 50s were awesome for me... now the 60s - still awesome but the ole bod is expressing wear and tear! It is all what you make it!!! and I choose to make it JOY! What an exciting party this was! The Mayor showed up bearing gifts beyond what anyone could imagine! Amazing!

Here is my card for today... another snowman using the oval frame ... did I tell you I love these frames??? Well, I do!
Colored with S. Up! markers; and used a pearl for the snowball!

 this is the inside -

I truly hope it is a long time yet before we see any snow ... but you gotta love these snowmen! :)
Have a wonderful day!

Christmas Squares

Hey!
Are you thinking this is a new recipe? NOT!
I saw a Fall card made using scallop squares from DSP and decided to convert this to a Christmas card...
We made this the other day at Christmas Klub - did the technique "embedded embossing" before attaching to the CS ... I didn't think to do that here... will try it next time!

The group of gals that provides "cards for the troops" is working on Christmas cards to send to them ....here is the beginning of my contribution - very little dimensional use and not a lot of embellisment -

Wow! Another beautiful day! Enjoy the sunshine!!!!

MORE - Kindness Matters!

Good Morning!
Looks like today is going to be another beauty! Yesterday was like a summer day! Gotta love that!
I made this card very quickly last night b/c I wanted to have it to show you first thing this morning....
It is for "Cindy's Color Challenge - 01" at http://joyfilledgrace.blogspot.com/
I love pinks and browns together with a little "yellow" thrown in ....I used Melon Mambo for the base CS with Chococlate Chip and So Saffron as the complimentary colors. The stamp set is "Kindness Matters" and I used the Oval Designer Frame .... I LOVE the 2 frames in this folder set! All Stampin' Up! product used here!

 Here is the inside

After I finished this I thought that using Chocolate Chip as the base CS and the other 2 colors as complimentary ones would be pretty as well! Ummmmm - maybe I'll do that sometime today!

Have a wonderful day!
Stay focused!
Be creative!

HUGS!

KINDNESS MATTERS

Good Morning Stampers!
On Saturday I told you I was just bursting to tell you something.... if you go to http://thisisthedayrejoice.com/ you will be able to read the full account of what has occurred in our lives lately.... I KNEW the surprise that was coming - it was soooooo hard not to share the news! The individuals who were gifting the wheeler to us had pulled me into the loop so that I could keep hubby around the place and available for when they arrived!

I received the Stampin' Up set "Kindness Matters" and decided to make a card for the gal who offered her wheeler to us ... How true these words are .... Kindness DOES matter! It makes such a difference to all involved!
Here's the card using one of the Designer Frames -

 Stamped these butterflies in Wisteria! Don't yah love that color?

 This is stamped in Elegant Eggplant!

 and here is the inside!

Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you have a  day full of sunshine and blessings!

The bottom card with the diamond shape is a new-to-me fold that I will demo to the group - so they will make only one of this and it doesn't count towards the 10 they will go home with to add to their Christmas stash! BONUS!!! They love it and so do I!
