I used a couple older Magnolia stamps from the So Jolly collection @ Tilda’s Town. com, HERE and the snowflake DooHickeys die HERE.

I stamped on PTI card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Die cut the Fir in Snow image with Spellbinders rectangle die, left it in the die and embossed it.  Colored in the snowflakes with white gel pen.  Let them dry and then used Distress ink pads in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans, applied with the Ink Blending tool while the image was still in the die.  The Calendar stamp is colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Stardust stickles on the snowflake and circles.

The pattern paper is from SEI… two years ago, maybe three… who knows! lol  I purchased three sheets of it and I still have one left!  It’s so pretty.   Do you remember my House Mouse card?  I used it then too… it’s HERE… I loved this card.  Are you ever that way?  Every once in awhile I have a card I just love more than others… hehe   So, make that three years… the date of this post was 2009!  My how time flies!

I used my Perfect Paper Layering Tools… link over there on the right!  Yes, YOU need them… they are awesome!  : )   Use that Christmas cash! HOHOHO

Happy New Year to you dear stamping friends!  It’s been a great year and 2013 is looking even better!  Why? Because today our internet service was fixed!!!  I have been limping a long with less than stellar service for a couple years.  The last several months it’s progressively gotten worse until this last week it’s been less than 1 mbps when it’s supposed to be up to 15 mbps!!!   I am in shock today to be speeding along!  I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!  All that to say,  I hope I get around better this year!  I should!!!!

It’s a joy following and sharing this wonderful stamping and paper-art hobby with you!  Thanks again for a wonderful 2012 and looking forward to 2013!

Be sure to scroll down for the great sale at the Scrapping Center!  Trust me,  it’s amazing!  hehe

talk to you again soon!

It’s crazy here right now… we’ve been working on our house… decisions and decisions…ugh…taking away from my creativity!  Want to see a scary photo?! haha  Now remember, we live in a big old house… 3 stories…4 if you count the basement!    Well,  we hadn’t restored the back stairway yet, so,  guess what…it shares a wall with the kitchen, the wall the stove is on, so we were able to install a range hood and vent it to the outdoors…love it but most of all, Tim was able to install a Central Vacuum system!!! OH,  how I LOVE it!  Something every woman should have! hehe  No,  I’m not linking up to anything! lol  It was a very big deal figuring out what to order that would work in our house but it turned out fabulous!  yea!  Early Merry Christmas to me!

So now, it’s getting the stairway built back in…right now the cavity is 27 feet plus tall!!!  Crazy…amazing how they built old houses!  It’s really hard to show in pictures but I wish I could…if you open the door on the 2nd floor… don’t take a step…you’d drop all the way to the basement! eek! So much for the excitement here…more to do because of course, one thing leads to another! lol

Thanks for stopping by!  Fun to post today and thank you for your kind comments and visits!

CAS, Memory Box Wreath card and Printworks SALE…

Oh my!  I’ve about forgotten how to blog!  Yikes!  That means I’ve been gone toooo long!  I’m hoping to do more stamping this week… I have to! : )

I made this with two Memory Box dies, a Magnolia Doohickey die (that I altered),  an older Hero Arts sentiment and probably  even older pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket!  I’m linking to another Memory Box die that I think would work for the bow too…

I used two of the grapevine wreaths layered on top of each other but turned, so they didn’t match up.  Then I die cut  four of the holly vine  and used the top halves of each, to stick into the wreath rather random like.  Joy and Peace is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink,  my favorite for stamping sentiments.  (don’t try to color with copics with it though..it’ll mess up your nibs!)  Papers edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Kraft card base… love kraft! : )  Love my perfect paper layering tools too… used the 1/16th inch one here.

It’s a 5 in. x 7 in. card… A-7 size envelope!

Lawn Fawn – Snowman…

I’ve been wanting to use my Lawn Fawn stamps and earlier this week when a couple of our granddaughters and their friend were over, we played with them!   So fun!

Of course my snowman had to be holding a heart! (MS border punch)   I used a Magnolia DooHickeys tree die and limeade twine.

I stamped on Hammermill 80# color copy cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.  I used my Perfect Paper Layers Tools to matt the image and MFT Die-namics cloud dies for the snow!   The greens are Forest green , Apple Cider and Pear green.   The blues are Twilight Sky and Midnight Blue.  I used Flexmarkers for the grays… Blue Grey 1, 2, 3, 4.   Can’t remember the browns on the birdie.  The orange is pumpkin.

I’m linking up to the Lawnscaping Challenge and the theme is “Dust ’em off”!  woohoo!  My card made the Top Mows!

Off to make a card for tomorrow’s Sweet Stamping Pixies Post!  It’s a rainy day here… we have to go buy a new dishwasher.  I love my old Maytag… it does such a great job!  oh why, did it have to start leaking?! boohoo   We bought it new when we moved here over 20 years ago… I suppose that is why! lol  Anyone love the new Maytags?  What to buy???
