Do Not Open...Until Dec. 25th

Good Morning, Today I am sharing a vintage style card based all round the "Do Not Open" stamp that I bought from Target for a dollar....It was also inspired by a sketch at scrapbook.com. I used a lot of my old stash...and the holly die cut is new from Rubbernecker. I love it!

A closer view...Had to add some bling right?

Thanks for stopping by today...Hope to start on the Christmas decor today

Good Things Take Time

Hi one more post for today...it was inspired by the new Color Throwdown #696. I love these soft colors. It makes me think of earth. I have been on a clock run of cards...I don't know why, but I brought out some stamps from Heartfelt Creations and stamped them on cream cardstock. Here is my inspiration....

I had to use the green flowers from 49 Market....They went perfectly with the P13 paper

Congratulations

Hi, Today I am sharing with a new card for this week's Color Throwdown #695. The flowers are a combination of purple and blue, as I look at the inspiration...the lavender actually looks more pink to me now? Meanwhile, I brought out my old roses from Heartfelt Creations. I just love how they came out...Oh and BTW...Im on a clock kick too...LOL

I have been loving the foil sentiment from Divinity Designs. This one is in gold...

I almost feel like I am back on the heartfelt creations DT again....Miss them...

Thinking Of You

Hi, so I am back to making some cards again...However, I sure will be making more layouts soon too. Bigger canvas to play with too. These papers and flowers from 49 Market are amazing! Im hooked! I bought a bunch of the blue flowers recently to start making my daughters wedding album so you will be seeing more and more of them

I decided to stamp the sentiment in clear and emboss it in white...the butterflies I fussy cut out...

Lots of distressing and layering of flowers, lace and foliage 

Thanks for stopping by today

Love The Ring

Hi Happy Sunday. So today Im sharing a new layout of my daughter and her fiancé at the time. Im finally getting some Mojo back to scrap these photos. They have been married for 4 years....Yes Im a bit behind...

These were the photos that we chose for the Save The Date. Their theme was a rustic/ vintage with blue jeans and shabby chic....wedding photos will be scrapped soon.  

Originally the title was going to be The Ring....but then I added this banner with the word loved stamped on it....The banner from Our Daily Bread and the sentiment letters from Lawn Fawn and Donna Salazar. 

Another cluster of flowers...wish I had some chipboard for the swirls....In the future...

Thanks for topping by today

Have a great day

A Cabin Merry Christmas

Hi Im sharing today this cabin, shabby, vintage Christmas card using the beautiful cozy colors from this week's Color Throwdown #616. These are my colors during Christmas time too. Lots of layers of die cuts and I used the red bling on the berries. 

I recently bought all this ribbon from RRR and absolutely love it! Plus it was the perfect match to the darker reds.

Thanks So Much

Hello again! So I seen today's Mojo Monday#548 sketch and just knew I had to make it right away! Thank you Julie for so many fabulous sketches. I have been making several distressed kind of shabby chic/vintage cards. So this one came together super fast for me. 

It's a pale yellow with lots of gold accents. I rarely use yellows but I forgot I had this paper until I recently organized my 6 x 6 papers and found it. LOL

A loser view....hard to see but lots of shine...

The fab sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Joy! Joy for Christ is Born!

Hello, today, I made a new card to send out for this upcoming holiday season. It started off being based on an old Mojo Monday sketch but know it is a little hard to see it...Just took off on its own again. LOL

I wanted to make a shaker ornament...hard to see in this picture due to the sun shining on it...

I don't think these pictures gives it much credit...but it really is quite shiny and pretty. Usually don't use blues a lot for the holidays but I may give it another whirl soon.

Thanks again for stopping by today.

October

i Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday! Im sharing a card that I made a few days ago. Finally posting the pictures. So I have lots of Graphic 45 papers and I tend to hoard them a lot. However there is a challenge over on scrapbook.com and I thought I really should bring them out. 

I recently bought this swirl from Dress My Craft and I am in love! I love Halloween papers and I usually use fun bright colors, but this come out much better than I thought. More spooky! lol
