One Kind Word

I won this Petal Press IHP set last year, and it didn't even get inked. It included 4 toppers for the sled and 3 phrases. I pulled out my 3D Snow paint to create the puffs of texture on the border. Just added a flower in the corner, and water colored the images for an old fashioned look. It is from Tracy Schultz/Petal Press.

Papercrafting Group

At church, we have a monthly papercrafting meeting. This month,I was in charge of creating a 2 page scrapbook project. I thought about the idea of remembering family recipes. We had fun as we worked on the pages and people spoke about their memories of cooking with their Mom, or Grandmom or a loved one.
We used Recollections -Mom's Diner DP for the banners(on clearance at $.09 per sheet), the 12x12 cardstock was from Big Lots at $.50 per package of 20 sheets). I brought my Sidekick and people could cut out the corners with dies and MS embossed heart punch was used also.The Cricut From the Kitchen cartridge was used to cut Stir and the oven mitt.I copied old family photos on my copy machine to include on my pages.I also copied two family cookie recipes written by my Mom to include on the pages too.

Ask,Seek and Knock

I had an order for book marks for a church school class. I made the book marks but forgot to take a photo of them. The children were receiving their Bibles and my friend wanted a special book mark for each of them as a gift. I made the card to thank her for her order. The stamp is from a set from ODBD(Ask, Seek, Knock) ,along with the die from Nellie's Multi Frame's. The ribbon is from the scrap box and the flower is from a swap.It was stamped with Memento's Sepia ink.

New Challenge

I noticed a autumn card challenge to use fall colors ,on Stampin' Sisters in Christ blog and thought I would try it out. I used an oldie Peddler's Pack leaf stamp along with a stamp from ODBD Lift up our Hands set. The leaf image was sponged with a variety of Distress inks as well as was the sentiment . The Die is from Nellie's Multi Frames. A bit of twine and a thinking of you card is ready for the mail in the morning.

Pumpkin Time

I forgot that I bought this autumn folder last year from CB but it is a great start for any seasonal cards. I thought just a pumpkin on the front would look nice using the oval shape from the Windows Sizzix set. Older items do come in handy on the budget. The flower was made from two circle punched papers crumpled and sprayed with Glimmer Mist . Just a kraft paper card and scraps of paper,a brad and ribbon were used to create this card with a hint of Distress Ink and Stickles.

Something old, something new

Several blogs are promoting old things are new again... In this case, my Too Much Fun Stamps Reindeer stamp is a vintage one. I have had it a long... time. It was stamped, watercolored, then Diamond Stickles were applied on the stars. The Cuttlebug folder is new from Oh My Crafts(brickyard). The silver ribbon and brads added for a touch of shiny and I liked it combined with the Kraft folder.. Happy Crafting!

Autumn is coming!

One of my favorite times of the year in Michigan is Autumn. The gorgeous leaves turn beautiful colors on the trees and it will be apple picking time. I got this set recently from Clear Dollar Stamps (Pumpkin Blessings).Using kraft card stock, some beautiful ribbon and simple twine along with some distress ink, the card was complete. Just some brass brads to add an accent to the ruffled ribbon and my first Thanksgiving card is completed. I enjoy sending cards to friends to let them know I am thinking of them throughout the year.
