Time To Say Thank You




Well I am not sure where this month has gone, but I do know it sure was a busy one. I hope you enjoyed all of the wonderful season, and took some time for yourself... That is what I did tonight.
My husband received some super gifts from teachers and others at school this year and we also received some wonderful gifts from family and friends, so I knew that I needed to start working on some special thank you cards. My first batch is basic and simple...just my style. However I was able to use up some pre punched snowflakes and some card fronts that had been pre cut and embossed...so, there is nothing wrong with that. : )

I am hoping to try again tomorrow and add a bit of flair to the next few ...
It seems when I use snowflakes, I usually use blue or red. I want to try to change that too... The red card is embossed with a snowflake folder, it shows up better on the white piece of card stock on the blue base . The other blue one could be used as a note card as is, or changed to a thinking of you or thank you by adding a simple sentiment of choice.

I hope to be back soon. This week is much more calm than the last few have been...
I know I have birthday pictures to share and some Christmas ones as well... So I hope you will stop back soon...
Thank you for coming by...
See you soon...

Hello, I thought I would stop in with a couple of more cards...The Christmas card is a copy of many cards I have seen using a tree stamp to make branches,I used a tree from SU's Lovely as a tree set. It is an easy design to use for mass production and can have detail added or left as is. Personally, I love the look of this ribbon with the natural color card stock and the ribbon is from SU again. It was available last year... The birthday card is another winter design. I received this image from a friend in an image swap and knew immediately what I wanted to create with it. I used a product to look like real snow on the muff and hat...
Thanks for looking, and I hope you are taking time to enjoy the season.

Winter Birthdays



It seems that December is a big birthday month in our family, so I am busy trying to get those cards made... One might think that I could have those made ahead of time, but then if you know me, you know that probably is not the case...lol
I have made 2, one for a sister in law and one for a niece...I used the same stamps but different ideas and different colors. I love the color Baha and I really like how the DP I used and the lace give this a bit of an old fashion look .
The other card is made using red riding hood, and DP by SU again... fairly plain but some sheer ribbon to dress it up a bit...

I am off to work on A grand daughters, a daughter and a grand sons card...I will post them when I get them all finished, til then, I hope you are enjoying this holiday season and thanks for stopping in again...
