an oldie and oversized inchie Christmas card…

redleadC-mas

Daisy D’s pattern paper (missing their stuff) and Redlead stamps…great combo for this Christmas card. And the sentiment is from Hero Arts. Thought it’d be fun to post some of my older Christmas cards while I’m working on some other cards that I can’t post yet!

ATC's · Fall

If everyone took up sewing…..

halloween would be fun again!!! That’s what Fiskars said in this old ad! I LOVE it! I made this ATC a few years ago, but thought it’d be fun to share it here…Hope it makes you smile!
I reduced the ad, added stitching, the button, ribbon and had to use a pinking decorative scissors to really make it “authentic”!

There were seven of us yesterday at the in person swap in Des Moines…a fun time was had by all! hehe  I took a few atc’s to swap and these are the ones I got in return…great stuff!  Thanks gals!!!

Then shopping after…can you even believe how many clear stamp sets there are anymore!  and punches!  and paper!!!  Wonderful!   I love the clear stamps for the little extra stamp “touches” here and there.  Wood mounted stamps,  I hope they never go away…something about “first” love! lol

Tilda for the Just Magnolia Challenge…


I just had to jump right in for the Just Magnolia challenge blog this week…A GREAT PRIZE…oh, I hope I win! Thinking maybe it helps your chances if you just come right out and say that…I better go back to yesterday’s post! haha
Trying my hand at a sketch again…ugh! Am I the only one?????? I get all done thinking I’ve done a grand job and immediately I want to tear it apart! WHAT?!!! I wish I’d put a mat behind the music piece and I’m sure there were a couple other things too…but I’m trying to exercise self-control and leave it alone!
Here’s a close up of this charming extra pink cheeked Tilda!!! lol

The Making Memories paper was still out from yesterday…May Arts ribbon…Prima flowers…Making Memories tree button (old)….Amuse Art stamps sentiment…background stamp on oval behind Tilda is from Stampington Christmas Elements clear set…the music paper is from the Cosmo Cricket new holiday 6×6 pad and the gold brads are from Making Memories.
Oops, better not forget the good ‘ole Bazzill cardstock…love that stuff!!! Have a great weekend!
I’m trying not to talk about the weather!!! lol

Winter Wonderland

Here’s an umbrella for me! Some of you know, I love umbrellas…can’t be caught without one!
Yes, even in the Winter in the snow! So I identify with this cute Winter Wonderland girl from Sugar Nellie! I am playing in the Sugar Bowl Challenge this time! So fun and I liked the sketch. The other requirement is to use lace…well, I just happen to still have this package of paper lace from K & company. Love it! She is colored with copic sketch markers (link to shop copic in the sidebar) and I used  Making Memories pattern paper,  Cat’s Life Press Merry Christmas stamp,  Nestabalities frame die, Prima leaves, Paper Studio red brads and the heart button is from Doodlebug I think!

Here’s a close up of my Winter Wonderland girl….

It’s rainy here today, so I did have to use my umbrella. It has been a really rainy year here in Iowa…but I’ve already told you that in every other post! ugh! sorry…night!
