The card - background is embossed.  Smaller panel is stamped and heat embossed with gold.   Pine stems are die cut.  Add some ribbon and a sentiment.  

Almost finished with the Christmas cards - yay!  I'll finish those up today and then will just have to wait for my order of stamps to get them in the mail.  Whew!

Have a terrific day!

The card - circle, tree and snowflakes are all die cut.  Sentiment is stamped directly on the background piece.  Add a bow.  Easy peasy!

A free day! I need to focus on getting my Christmas cards done!  Not sure why that's been such a struggle this year.  Having a hard time deciding on what to do.  That's my goal for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - the background is a piece of embossed vellum on top of a piece of solid cardstock.  The white trees are die cut and added on top of the vellum.  Sentiment piece is stamped and then die cut.

Chores this morning - snow on the ground but not much, so hoping it melts before I have to shovel it!  Looking forward to a nice relaxing afternoon with the Needle Keepers.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a super simple one.  Background is embossed and matted with gold.  The wreath is die cut twice (one gold and one white)  Add a sentiment and a bit of bling.

Photo Sunday - decorating the Christmas tree.

Time to finish up the Christmas decorations (Ethan & I didn't get much done yesterday :)  That's my goal for the day!

'Grandma time' with both boys today.  The plan is to get the Christmas tree up and decorated.

Happy 

Thanksgiving

The card - patterned paper, die cut/embossed leaves, sentiment and some gold twine.  Easy peasy!  (much pretties in real life - the gold leaves really don't photograph well!)

A little of this and a little of that today.  No big plans.  Jeff & family are leaving for Denver today to spend Thanksgiving with Sara's family.  So I'm thinking about getting the house ready to put up Christmas decorations.  (still in the thinking stage :)   Meeting some friends for lunch, which will be a nice break.

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  Wreath is die cut.  I layered two different colors together.  Sentiment is die cut and popped up.  Add a bit of bling.

Project Sunday- another finished wool applique.  (These are samples I am doing for my  friend who owns Wooly Lady!)  

Looking forward to a stamping day with my friend Karen.  I've finally got a plan for my Christmas cards but now I'm waiting on an embossing folder that I ordered.  (heaven forbid that I could have decided on a card using something I already had :)  But I think I can find something to stamp in the meantime!  

Have a great day!  

Saturday Quote........

Chores, a few errands and then to the craft room.  Hopefully some productive stamping and maybe even some stitching on a new wool applique project.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tried the 'floating technique' on this one.  Rather time consuming, but fun to do.  (search for floating technique on Pinterest and you can find the directions)

Looking forward to spending some time with Hudson at school this morning - it's 'Grandparents Day'.  So, a bit of time seeing his classroom, having refreshments and enjoying recess time!  Cool!

Have a great day!

 

The card - background was sponged first, then embossed and then sanded.  Some added speckles and a sentiment.  

Errands this morning, then back to work.  Trying to get ahead and work on next months class stuff.  And no, I still haven't figured out my Christmas cards :(

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed and then sponged around the edges.  The stems are die cut.  The sentiment is die cut and is also sponged around the edges.  

I still haven't figured out what I'm doing for  my Christmas cards  - since I have a free day today, I think I better try to work on that.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stems are stamped on the background piiece with an added die cut piece at the bottom.  Add some string and a sentiment.  Super easy!
