Bright Sea Side




Kit photo courtesy of Tracey


Hello and welcome to the 12 Kits of Occasions monthly blog post.
This month our host is Kim Heggins

Kim sent out the cutest kit full of bright sunny colors, this kit was a joy to create with. Thanks sweet Kim (aka... Martha Stewart  :)

The card above I used everything in Kims kit but the stitched circle die, that's from : memory box Pinpoint Circle Frame


The card above also uses everything from Kims kit just added some glossy accents to the eyes and boat portholes.


I didn't realize that ( forgot to look) there was another's print on the other side of paper, I was so excited when I saw this cute little underwater scene.  I used the same : memory box Pinpoint Circle Frame. 

 I added my own sentiment from The Greetery, Birthday Blooms Stamp Set andBirthday Blooms Die. Also added glossy accents to the portholes on the sub. In person it just give a bit of texture and I think looks neat.

Please stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions blog for the other designers and list of kit supplies in the upper tab.


Thanks so much for the visit! 
Praying for peace and kindness this October, God bless.

Parcel and Post Christmas








 Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. We're  trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.


Hello!  Before you know it , it will be time to mail out those Christmas cards! I am happy to say another month has gone by and I got a few more cards and gift tags created.


 I used one of my past favorite : Post & Parcel Kit from Papertrey Ink.
I have an entire kit and decided to use some of the already printed papers that came with the kit. I did some diecuting , glossing accents and adding some glitter.  One the one above I added a bow from The Greetery.


The tags were also created with the kit. Simple die cutting and adhering together. Im sure many of you have the some of the kits as well. Nice time to use them up and get some Christmas cards done.





I pray you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for the visit today. Take care.

Don't forget to see the rest of the Design team.

Boo to You


Hello dear friends ! I Hope you are doing well! 
My turn over at the Poppystamps Blog today!




We are still very smoky with active fires to the east and west of where I live. I miss the blue sky and pray for so many including the firefighters! 

Did you know many firefighters sleep on the ground or top of the firetruck when fighting the fires. They are awesome!

Take care and God bless!

Watercolored Fall Birthday Card



Hi Friends . We are doing lots of praying here in California. So many fires all over and burning some of the most beautiful mountains, trees. town and homes. God bless all our firefighters, first responder and many that lost so much.



 I couldn't wait to use the new products from The Greetery , the sentiment is a favorite of mine and the leaves are new, all linked below. I water colored the leaves . 

I hope you are safe where you are. Our Skys have been  brown/orange for so many days now. Today is the first day of blue skies(winds), grateful for that. 

We took the picture with mask on to remember 2020

I posted on my  Instagram  a few days ago. We were blessed to be in Yosemite for a few days to greet our son who just finished  solo walking the John Muir Trail ( over 240 miles) He ended with summit of Mount Whitley. So grateful he finished before the next big fire that started as we left. All so very heartbreaking.

The fires are bad here in California , most of them are to the north of us. Our SIL has been fighting them for over a week now. It's also been crazy hot . Don't know how they can work in this heat.

Praying for all of those affected by the fires.

Embellished Patterned Paper



Hello, I hope you are all hanging in there and hope you each have a joyful day.


 I wanted to make a simple and fast card before I switched to quilting the top of my quilt.
After seeing Betsy's( from The Greetery) beautiful new peach set I wanted to create something with the set I have from Papertrey Ink . Pretty sure it's a Betsy design .

I used the patterned paper image fussy cut it down then lightly shaded it with Copic Markers and added some extra white dots and bit of outlines then some Glossy Accents. 
I added the Simple Things sentiment trying to cover up what was printed. So not my own design just embossed and cut and added new striped background  .... fun and fast!

God Bless
