fall card

A beautiful fall card using the fall die cut leaves from Simon Says.

The sentiment is something I had in my stash from many years ago.

happy fall

A few more fall pillow box treats.

Love this fall leaf die from Simon Says.

It die cuts beautifully!

hey pumpkin

Made these cute fall treats for an upcoming craft show.

The stamp set is from Simon Says.

It's all about pumpkin spice right?!

Inside is a pumpkin spice k-cup and a pumpkin spice biscotti.

Spooktacular treats!

I am getting into the upcoming holiday season and preparing for some upcoming craft shows. These cute little treats were fun to make. I love the mummy candy! 

Gotta love Halloween!!

Happy New Home

I made this card using a free stamp set and die from Taylored Expressions. 

I spent enough at StampAway to get it and thought I better use it! 

I paired it with the house die from amuse. 

I was happy with how it turned out.

sister chicks

A friend of mine asked me to make some cards for her friends who they refer to as "the sister chicks"

These cards were a lot of fun to make. I used three different stamps...one from Judith, one from Art Impressions, and one from amuse. I did the wording on the computer and used a punch. 

Fun cards and she loved them all!

Wine lovers!

I watched Marisa Alvarez make some cute wine candle boxes for her craft fairs and I thought, I could too. She is amazing when it comes to creating!

Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas, Marisa!

Look how darling these turned out! 

The stamp set is from Stampin' Up and the candles are from the Dollar Tree.

The perfect gift for all you wine lovers!

more wishes...

I received so many wonderful wishes for my birthday this year! 

Here are the cards that were hand made from family and friends.

Each one is as beautiful as the next! 

Thank you for thinking of me and sharing the love!

So many wishes....

Last week Joe and I celebrated our birthdays and received so many wishes. 

We certainly felt the love from family and friends!

Here are Joe's hand made cards he received. 

Funny how some were of the same theme or color scheme. 

Thank you to all who sent cards handmade or otherwise!

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my birthday...yea! 

I received this fun letter board in the mail from Melissa this past week!

How fun is this?! Thank you so much Melissa.

It was Joe's birthday last week too, so I thought I would add his name to my message board. 

 I also found some fun birthday icons at JoAnn's. The fun never ends!

Happy birthday to me!

 I bought myself a birthday gift! It is an awesome ink organizer by Organize More.

It holds 60 ink pads and as you can tell it is almost full!

I love it!

new find

Saw a post on FB the other day that Amazon was having a deal on these alcohol markers. 

They are very similar to Copics and I thought what the heck I would try them. 

What a find!!! These are awesome markers!

Best deal ever at $15.51 for 50 markers!!

See how pretty!!

They even came in their very own carrying case...BONUS!!

Sail away

I love my new stitched sail boat die from Jillian Vance.

A simple and calming card. Love how it turned out.

Stamping Fever

Still in the stamping fever after Stamp Away!

Sylvia's card class was awesome! 

So many beautiful cards and a lovely little treat box!

Thanks Sylvia! 

More Madness

Day 2 of Stamp Away was so much fun with these ladies!

Heather is Judith's daughter, who took over the business. I have a photo with Judith...who is now retired, so I needed one with Heather!

Jillian Vance has awesome dies! We did a make and take and got a free stamp set!!

One of my favorite purchases from Stamp Away! 

Gina Marie Designs is going to become a favorite of mine!!

Sylvia, Nancy, and I went to Stamp Away 2018 tonight...what a blast!

Can't wait to go back tomorrow with the stamp club ladies.

Met up with Gena and Carolyn! Always a fun time with them...shop til we drop!

Anniversary wishes!

I completely forgot to post the handmade cards we received for our 31st anniversary.

 It's my sister's anniversary today so she mentioned to me that I had forgotten. 

Thanks and Happy Anniversary to you and Albert.

We enjoyed a nice dinner out and we are thankful for all the wonderful wishes we received!

We loved every one of them!
