Just a little note...

I saw this cute stamp at the store by Imaginisce-Apple Cider Collection. It's new and with apple season coming before long, it would be great for a fall gift in a group of cards. Got my favorite Kraft papers out to make this using two shades for a CAS card. Both the image and words (Sentiments from Hampton Arts)were stamped with Memories -Sepia and the apples and basket were colored with Zig markers and then cut out. The image was raised with foam dots and the sheer red ribbon is unknown(from my scrap box).In the fall, I love to go apple picking and to make applesauce for my family.Yum!
Happy Crafting!

Tired of Laundry..

I sure am sometimes. I thought of this while separating our clothes to get set to do the wash. The TGF Laundry Anya can sure relate to that. The cardstock was put through Sizzix Stars folder, and some Diamond Stickles were added to brighten her day.I hand wrote the verse and the rickrack plus tiny flower buds add a touch of sweetness to her busy day. Happy wash day everyone ...take some time to do some crafting too!

Christmas card time

It has been so sticky over the past few days so I thought if I work on my Christmas cards, I might feel cooler.I found this cute girl in my stash of swapped images so she is another unknown for winter cards. The background cardstock was run through the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. I went over each of the raised patterns with a white Jelly pen. The tree was cut from a scrap of BG.The trunk is a piece of grosgrain taupe ribbon(May Co.)The brad was from another swap and also unknown. The metallic snowflake came from Big Lots last year on a garland I got on clearance.The border of the card was cut to accent the embossed snowflakes.
It is only 134 days until Christmas. Start making those holiday cards to ease the rush later .
Happy crafting!

Rose's Garden

Another of the stamped images I received in a swap was Rose from Sarah Kay. She was great to color and when I found this scrap of ribbon among my treasures from the rummage sale, it fell into place quickly.After coloring ,I used my Cuttlebug to cut the image with one of the Nesting Tags from my QuicKutz set.The DP is from BG Green at Heart 6x6inch pad.The tiny flowers were colored with my Zig markers and a touch of diamond Stickles was added into the centers for some bling. This is getting popped into the mail for a belated birthday card. Happy crafting!(P.S.I had that bug that has been going around but am feeling better today.)

Hurray!

The rummage sale is over and all the leftovers are bagged up for pick up by a nonprofit organization next week. We earned over $2,000.00 for mission work at our church. What a blessing!!Thanks to all who stopped by to shop, helped out by a donation of goods or worked for a few hours or just thought of us!

One day more!

Yeah.. tomorrow is the last day of the rummage sale and I am really tired out. The 2 day sale total so far was good and hopefully tomorrow will be a busy sale day too! The photo is only one of three containers of button I found.I can't wait to include them on my cards!Happy crafting.

Busy Days

Between work and helping to set up for our rummage sale at church... I am super busy. The sale is all day on Thursday, Friday, and then Saturday morning. I have been hunting for storage containers for my crafting. I found some single spice racks to fit my button collection in small containers. At our church...the sorters get dibs on shopping before the sale begins as we try to organize the donated items so my tiny pile of treasures may increase -8-)! Happy crafting.
