~~ O Holy Night ~~

Good morning Y'all .....it's a glorious day here in Alabama !! This is another card I made to show to Jimmie Gayle. She ordered 12 cards and loves the easel cards, so I wanted to give her a variety to choose from.I am loving this cream and gold and I hope she loves it too! I used the Christmas Noel cart for the church as well as the star. I bought the new Martha Stewart ,Punch All Over The Page ,Starry Sky punch yesterday at Michael's ( 50 % off too ! ) I used that to punch out all the stars.I used the shadow feature for the gold background and the regular cut,as well as the layers for the church.Embossed the background with the Christmas Village ( not sure what the real name is ) Cuttlebug folder. I glittered the layers for the church, although you can't really see it well. I just added a few of the gold stars to the sentiment area. I'm going to let her decide if she wants to add her own message or have me cut a sentiment or print out something on my computer, that's why its blank.Thanks for stopping by !!! I hope Y'all have a great week!

~~ Sympathy for Sally ~~

Good morning Y'all ! I gotta tell ya, I'm feeling all creepy! I had started making this card because you never know when you will need a sympathy card.Well, I almost had it complete when the phone rang and it was my sweet friend Sally, sobbing into the phone and I knew it couldn't be good news.... Sally is ALWAYS bubbly and in such a good mood. She had just found out that her Daddy had died in his sleep during the night. It sent chills running over me, because I had literally just misted this card with some Smooch and was waiting for it to dry!! Of course I was saddened to hear her news, but the whole thing has given me the willies! (I'm crazy ...I know ! ) I used Spellbinders Labels for the matting, Wild Card for the wording...there is no shadow so I tried making it....it didn't turn out so well, so I kinda placed it off center... Paisley for the flower and the large butterfly is a Spellbinders die as well....the small ones are a Martha Stewart punch. Added the rick rack,oh and I used a Fiskars punch too,and misted the flower and butterflies. I did some embossing with the Textiles Cuttlebug folder.Thanks for taking a peek!!!

~~ The Apple Barn ~~

Hi there!! When I saw this paper, by My Little Shoebox, I knew what I would make with it. I used to take my Mother to Ellijay, Georgia to buy apples fresh, from lil red apple barns that are all along the country roads. I used Everyday Paperdolls for the barn, Heritage for the cart and tractor, Stretch Your Imagination for the apple tree and the apples are from a punch I bought at Big Lots for 1 dollar!! Used the Swirls Cuttlebug folder for the tree, Swiss Dots and a Tin Holtz embossing folder for the barn. Did some inking and doodling and then sat down and had an apple with peanut butter on it ! lol I'm sending this one to my Mother and I hope it brings back fond memories!!! Thanks for stopping by Y'all !!!

~~ Anniversary Card for Dan ~~

Good Morning Y'all !! Our anniversary is fast approaching and I knew I better get Dan a card made. It looks more like a Valentines card, but anniversaries are all about love...right ? I used the Spellbinders heart die for this card , Cuttlebug folders, Swiss Dots , Swirls and Hearts, along with alot of Ranger ink. I found some foil that I bought years ago and I drug it out to see how it would emboss and it really does a great job!! It will cut you too...I now know this! Used a border punch and cut the hearts on Grungpaper and then a top layer of Core'dinations. Added the ribbon and there it is....my heartfelt anniversary card! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek!!!

~~ The Floral Collection ~~

Good morning Y'all !!! I got back from the lake yesterday and while I was gone I got some MoJo back!!! wooohoooo I also found a Que Sera Sera paper pack at Michael's before I left ( My all time favorite paper! ) and I went crazy making cards with it! Most of these cards were made using Walk in My Garden and Stretch Your Imagination was used for the sunflower card. I only wish I had taken my Cuttlebug with me to enhance these cards...oh well.Did lots of layering, inking and added buttons and ribbons on some. I also left most of them blank so that I can use them for any occasion. Thanks so much for stopping by...I'm off to catch up on some blogs!!
