Holiday Hoopla is Coming!

Here is a sample card from one of the new sets...toil and trouble...that is featured in the new holiday catalog.

Holiday Hoopla is coming....August 1st!

wild rose

I used the wild rose stamp set to make this anniversary card. I stamped the leaf in fern and the rose in cherry. I then cut out the rose and pop dotted it to give the card a bit of dimension. I love how it pops off the cherry woodgrain card.



R & R in Gatlinburg

Joe and I got away for a little R & R to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary that's coming up. We spent a few days at the Buckhorn Inn....a wonderful place to relax. We had the tower room to the left. Everyone was so nice and friendly and the grounds were beautiful.

As we entered the tower there was a little sitting room and then you went up a flight of stairs to the bathroom and then another couple flights to our room. It was like a tree house...with windows all around it.

This was the view from our table as we dined for dinner and enjoyed our delicious breakfast in the morning.

I highly recommend you do dinner if you go. The food was amazing!

We had another couple take our picture. They were celebrating their 40th and we our 25th.



The beauty of the mountains from one of our hikes. Love the Smokies!

Clingmans Dome. A foggy/cloudy morning. You could not see much on the dome, but still a great hike.

young at heart.....

You are never too young to ride a carrousel....Luke and Jacob enjoyed an afternoon at the fair. 

roses are red...

Are these amazing or what!? My sister made these beautiful roses out of pop cans. She cut off the ends and then flattened the can out and ran it through her die machine. She spray painted the petals and curled them like she does with her flowers when she makes a card. I think they are just beautiful!

Thank you Shari for your wonderful creations!

Wow!

graduation card

You can create a simple or very detailed card for your special graduate....this one is quite detailed from the many patterned paper to the rosette, and the added touch of pearls.
