Ornaments

How are you all doing with your Christmas preparations? Can't believe only one month away it Christmas Day. Seems like only last week it was Christmas. Guess that is a true sign that I am definately getting older.

Anyway .. back to the card.

I made this card the other night and I can't quite say that I am completely pleased with it. For me it lacks something. My daughter tells me I am just too picky.

I have had this set of stamps for a couple of years now and never seemed to get around to inking it up for a card. Had a few things done with it that I never liked and threw out. Maybe I am too picky.

I will be back on the weekend with some new cards to show you.

Enjoy the rest of your evening !

4th Crazy For Christmas Card!



How was your Thanksgiving? I had a great Family Supper for 14 with my family. My and my husband prepared another wonderful meal had by all. The turkey was so delicious and of course we are having the left overs tonight. A great night had by all. Glad that it all turned out so well.

This is the fourth card that I made at the workshop the other day. I thought that it was nice but really I also think that it needs something else. Some type of emblishment. If I make it again I will definately be adding something to it.

What do you think?

Cardstock: elegant eggplant, very vanilla, brushed gold

Crazy For Christmas Card Workshop card # 3



Here is the third card from the workshop. For me this card was a bit of a challenge because it had been awhile since I had to use two stamps together like the ones in this ornament. It was a nice challenge. I love the new color. It is so nice and rich.

Hope all you Canadians are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. Tomorrow I am having my family over for our annual Thanksgiving Supper. I enjoy it so much. Can't wait to eat that turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians.

Finally Starting On Christmas Cards!



I was at a "Crazy For Christmas" card class the other night and had a great time. I went with my sister Tanya and her friend Edna. We made five cards using the new sets and paper and I think the turned out beautiful.

This one I really like as it was so easy to make. Was nice getting to use the new sets and punch.

I will be back later with another one to show you.

Hope you are all doing well trying to get a start on your Christmas card.

Me and my friend Kelly have ordered some new Whipper Snapper stamps again so hopefully when they arrive I will have more creations to show you as well.

Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Many Merry Messages
Paper: Soft suede, bermuda bay, whisper white

Have a great day

See you soon

Staci's Christmas Card!



I made this card for my daughter Staci. It is a little out of the box for me as it is so busy but I knew that she would like it. She was quite pleased with it. For me it is just too busy and not really my style but it is nice to do things that are different sometimes.

Snoopy is just so sweet. Everyone loves Snoopy and when I saw this card at Michaeal's a while ago I thought about Staci right away.

Well tomorrow is the dreaded day for me. Back to work. YUCK. I really don't want to go back yet. I would love to have a few more days but then after that I probably would like a few more. Oh well only working three days then off for four. That will keep me going this week.

I guess many of you are going back to work also. At least it will be a short week so we have that to look forward to.

Enjoy your day.

Ev's Christmas Card!



I made this card for my dh for Christmas. I bought these stamps a little while ago with the intentions of using it for him. It reminds me so much of our dog Lilly who is a Golden Labrador and our cat Alex. The only difference is that Alex has a bob-tail. I should have only stamped half the tail. Oh well, better luck next time. Ev was happy with how it turned out and so was I.

Have you done all your Christmas visiting yet? I have done all that I want to do and now I am just going to sit home and relax and take it easy.

I have more cards to show you so I will be back tomorrow with another one.

Enjoy your evening.

Merry Christmas To All!



Good evening

I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. I know I did. I had a wonderful time spending time with my family and friends the past couple of days. It just seems so much nicer and happier this time of year. Not that I don't get to see my family and friends throughout the year but somehow at Christmas it is just more special.

I had a wonderful Christmas dinner at my sisters last night and it was just delicious. Awesome dinner Janet. Christmas Eve we had brunch at my sister Tanya's and that evening me, my dh and dd went over to my friend Debby's for our annual Christmas visit. Debby's family has always had a tradition of reciting The Night Before Christmas and as she does we all put ornaments on the tree from the story. We have done this for years with her and it is so nice that we get to help carry on her tradition as both her parents have passed on so it is nice that she carries it on through us and her son. We had a great evening.

I wanted to show you this card that my sister Tanya gave my daughter for Christmas. I thought it was beautiful. Staci did also.

I hope to be back again tomorrow to show you some other pictures from my Christmas card collection so to speak.

Have a great evening

Happy Boxing Day!

Great Day For A Snowman!



Strange weather here in Newfoundland today. One minute it looks like we are going to have a big snowstorm and the next the sun and shining and the snow has stopped. Strange indeed. It is pretty cold here today too. Would be a day to make a snowman like the one in this card. I made this card at my demo Deanne's CTMH card making night. We made a Halloween card and two Christmas cards. This is one of the cards that we made using the new CTMH set of the month of November. It is just so cute. You can change all the elements on the snowman that you want too. The possibilities are endless. I had a great time that night and met some new stamping friends. Always nice to meet new friends.

How are your Chistmas plans coming along? All your shoppping done? For me the answer is no I don't have everything done and I still have shopping to do but I am so glad to say that today I start my holidays and I am off work till the 29th of December. Yahoo... I really need a break from that place. Another story and not for now.

Enjoy your winter weather and happy stamping!

Christmas Eve Night!



When I first saw this stamp I automatically thought of Christmas Eve for some reason. It just made me feel at home in a cabin and that it what I would love to have.

I got to try out that new Dp from SU called Blitzen. Great colors and paper. I just love two sided paper.

I used some photo paper to stamp the image on so I could make the image stand out better and allow me to sponge on the paper with such ease.

Sorry to cut this short but I am off to make more cards. A woman's work is never done as they say. I was out shopping earlier with my daughter and that wasn't very productive so I need to be productive at something tonight. I definately can be at card making and lately I am on a roll so I have to stick with it.

Hope you are getting a jump start on your Christmas shopping. I bet some of you are better organized than I am and even have all the presents bought and wrapped. One day, one day I hope to be like that but I just find that there is just too much to do and not enough time to do it. I am looking forward to a bit of time off so I can just sit back and enjoy.

I am hoping to be back soon with some more creations, until then
Happy Stamping

Paper Trees!



Hello everyone. Hope you are all getting your Christmas shopping and backing done. I have started by still have a long way to go. For some reason I just can't get into shopping this year. Now if it was shopping for stamping stuff I bet that I would be able. Strange isn't it. lol

I saw this design on SCS as well and knew that I would have to give it a try. It really wasn't that difficult. I just make my own template with a bit of cardboard and the rest was a snap.
I really like the way that it turned out. Not much stamping at all but still nice none the less I think.

What do you think?

Hope to see you again soon.

Another Merry Little Elf!



I saw this card on Splitcoast and thought that it was just so cute I knew that I just had to try it. I thought that it would be a good seller.

I can't seem to get enough of these little elves. It seems that every once in a while there is a set that you just can't seem to put down and this Christmas it has to be this set. I think they are just such sweet happy little elves and they make me smile.

What do you think?

Recipe:

Stamps: Merry Pursuite CTMH, To You & Yours (SU)
Ink: Momento Black, Real Red
Paper: Real red, whisper white, dp
Accessories: punches, ribbon, copics

Enjoy your day

Happy Stamping!

Embossed Christmas!



Hello everyone:

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. It is beginning to snow here this morning. Yuck. I am not a winter person.

This is another card that I made to try and sell. I can't take full credit for the idea as I copied it from someone at Splitcoast(girl3boys). When I first saw it I knew that I just had to try one and I have to say that I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

I have been really busy lately making cards so I have many examples to show you over the next little while.

I hope to be back real soon with more to show you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Christmas Cards Here I Come!



Hello everyone hope you are all are enjoying your weekend. They seem to go by so quickly. Today is the Santa Claus Parade in St. John's. Looking forward to going as usual. My daughter is always in the parade with her Air Cadet Squadron. Of course it would be colder today then it has been lately.

On to the card.

I made this card with one of my favorite Christmas sets from Su called Holiday Tag Team. This little snowman is so cute. I have used him so often since I got the set four years ago.

I used Night of Navy and whisper white card stock and of course my handy dandy cuttlebug. Don't know what I ever did before I purchased it. Also gotta love those nesties. They add such a beautiful look to my cards I think.

Would be initerested in hearing what you have to say.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Anyone Need A Christmas Card!




I went over to my friend Kelly's (Kellybee) on Sunday and the idea was that we were going to get together and make 20 cards. In preparation for tht day both me and Kelly cut out some shapes with our cuttlebug and good old nesties. We both cut out 20 and then we also had our cardstock ready to go. We had both really hoped that we would get a good start on our Christmas Cards but when me and Kelly get together we tend to chat too much and not do as much work as we want to and as usual this was the case. I also had to make a mess all over myself with flue and Kelly beautiful covered chairs. I was trying to use my new bottle of Martha Stewert glue and when it wouldn't run like I just squeezed the side of the glue and of course you know what happened next. The glue went up in the air, all over my hair, shirt and pants and then dripped over Kelly chair. I felt so bad. We managed to put my clothes in the washer and Kelly was kind enough to lend me some clothes to wear. Thank goodness Kelly saved the day by getting the glue out of my clothes and her covered chair. That set us back for a bit so we only managed to get 4 cards done.

This is the first two. We each got to play with the others new Christmas stamps.

I had a great afternoon Kelly. Thanks so much.

We will have to try it again.

I will definately get the 20 done. You will see.

See you soon

Merry Little Elves!



Hello again. Nice to be back. This is the first of my Christmas cards. When I firt saw this set in the CTMH catalogue I thought that it was so cute and would make so sweet cards and ornaments but I never knew that it would be so much fun using them.

I had this paper for awhile now and as soon as I saw those cute little elves I thought of it. Somehow stripes just go with Elves.
The only thing that I am sorry for now is that I never turned the stripes around the other way. Oh well, maybe next time.

I don't know what the weather is like where you are from but it is starting to close in quickly where I live. We had a few flurries yesterday so I figured that it was time to go and get those winter tires on my car once again. Boy do I hate winter and our summers just seem so short. Oh well, such is life I guess.

Recipe:

Stamps: CTMH Merry Pursuits, Michael's 1.50 stamps
Paper: Whisper White and other unknown
Ink: Pallett Noir and handsome hunter
Accessories: Cuttlebug, nesties, glitter pen, dimensionals

Hopefully I will be back this weekend with more

Enjoy your weekend!

Fluffles Christmas



This is the Christmas card that I made for my daughter Staci. She loves the fluffles stamps just about as much as I do I think. She fell in love with this one when she saw it. I gave her one of the ornaments to match it also. I really like how this one turned out. I just love this designer paper from Stampin Up. There are so many things that you can do with this georgeous double sided paper.

So are you all glad that Christmas is over? I am not because today I am going back to work after being off all last week. Not looking forward to that one at all.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and may the new year bring with it a wonderful year for you all.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog over the past year and I look forward to posting more of my projects for you in the new year.

Take Care

Cheers
