December 12 Kits of Occasions

Photo by Lindsey

Hello and Welcome to the 12 Kits of Occasions,

 this months host is Tracey McNeely

Tracey sent out a kit, full of darling papers that I have not seen 

or used before and I have lots of leftovers for later. Almost 

everything in the the kit from Tracey was new to me so that was fun.

 Tracey did all this with a broken collarbone...... Thank you Tracey! 

I used the sequins and colored paper from the kit, the die is from Papertrey Ink . 

I needed a birthday card,  I stamped the sentiment from

Concord & 9th

Simon Says: Party!

I added a bit of shimmer to the dress with Wink of Stella

Simon Says: Anything Goes

Very simply and fun card

I cut the paper with a Poppystamps die and added a few flowers included in the kit.

 Included in the kit, was this gold embossed the sentiment. So easy and fun to create.

Thanks for the visit and be sure to by 12 Kits Blog to see the rest of the design teams cards.

May you all have a blessed Year in 2018

Again thank you all for your prayers for my daughter and son in law. You are all a blessing to our family

Farmers Market Florals

           December 2017 Blog Hop           

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Ours was wonderful. Our son-in-law is walking fairly well on his own now with a bit of a limp. 

He is still off work and cant wait until he goes back to work, he is a Fireman- Engineer- Paramedic 

 (maybe in 3 months)

Emotionally they are healing everyday. Nicole and Tom thank you all for your prayers and kindness.

(Tom was shot 3 times shielding our daughter in the Vegas shooting)

Im so excited I have a card for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

When this new Farmers Market came in the mail I just had to play with it .

The water color paper is from Hobby Lobby :Master Touch

Sorry about the shadows on the photo but I only had a few minutes to take pictures.

Thanks for the visit today!

 Make it Monday #307: Faux Stained Glass 

with Laurie Schmidlin 

Laurie made a gorgeous heart card with pretty blooms you will want to check the link above to

 see her beautiful card.

This shows the back side of my card.

It is layered three times with the same die cut then placed on top of the card base.

The last thing I should have done... was go in the craft room this morning but that is just what I did.

 I used Papertrey Ink - Cover Plate: Mountain Majesty Die

and Year of Psalms: October Mini Stamp Set

This was my first time using this Cover Plate. 

Have to run... its windy out and my sweet puppy :Lucy needs my help. Im so happy our 

German Shepherd loves her too!

Merry Christmas , Happy Holidays to you all!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Hello and welcome to the last blog hop of 2017

You have a chance to win a $20 certificate to the Serendipity Stamps store, just by leaving a comment.

 I used the :PPP-Scallop Square Tags Dies sold at Serendipity Stamps to make this little tag

 for a birthday gift. I forgot to take a photo of the back that is stamped with: Make a Wish 

 from the Serendipity Stamps store. 

I split my sentiment by masking one side, so I could stamp on each 

side of the scalloped edges.

I used Scallop Borders 2 Dies  and Happy Holidays Cling Stamp Set from Serendipity Stamps 

 on the card above. I added tiny bits of glue to the background and fine glitter for the snow.

I hope you are having a beautiful week, see you next year!

Southern Florals and Lip Balm

Hi there! I woke up early (1:30am) today to make some more lip balm gifts.

 I remembered I bought this beautiful Wplus9 Southern Florals set and forgot I had it.

 Oh how I love this flower set and lip balm dies from My Favorite Things!

 As you can see I used many products to create these.

The colors came together so easily with my set of Altenew Crisp Dye Ink Cube sets.

 The fun paper is from Papertrey Ink .

In case you are wondering I am using the BEST lip balm from Primally Pure,

 a company I absolutely love and the deodorant is the best..... all natural.

This is how you open the back so you don't have to mess up the packaging.

Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for all your comment on my last card! 

You are all so kind and I am grateful for you all!
