I must have jinxed us on the snow comment. I opened the curtains this morning and looked out and it's SNOWING! How's that to put me in the Christmas mood? So pretty looking out, but I'm sure glad I don't have to get out in it today! Brrrr! Faith so wants to go out and play, so we'll probably do that if it's not all melted when she gets up from her nap. I didn't bring too many warm clothes with me from SD. They're still all packed away in the boxes to move once the house is sold. I was hoping I wouldn't need them for a while here! HA! HA! Guess we all know I was wrong on that one!
Here's the second card that we will be making tomorrow for the Christmas card class. I love the message of it and the simplicity! After all, isn't that how Christ came...a little baby? Love it!
The color is the Concord Crush and I again used the Shimmery White paper to give it some sparkle. The wisemen image is embossed with white embossing powder, then sponged with the Concord Crush. So pretty in real life! The jewel adds just a little sparkle to the star.
Ingredients: Stamps: Come to Bethlehem, The Sounding Joy
Paper: Shimmery White, Concord Crush
Ink: Concord Crush, VersaMark
Accessories:White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Jewels, Stamp-a-ma-jig, sponge daubers, Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Top Note Die, Snail adhesive, dimensionals
I added just a strip of the Concord Crush to the inside that I embossed and stamped the verse from the Come to Bethlehem set. A simple and easy card to duplicate for that long Christmas card list.
Enjoy your day...playing in the snow and stamping. Who could ask for more?

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Scrapbook on the Walls

Image
I love to scrapbook too! I put a lot of time into the pages I create, and have found that scrapbook frames are a great way to scrapbook on the walls and be able to enjoy those creations before adding them to a book.  I have been working on a gift for my daughter-in-law, whose birthday was last week. I finally finished it yesterday and I'm really excited to get it mailed to her. I used the Six Sided Sampler stamp set, stamped them with the stitched hexagon on scraps of Designer Series Paper in Early Espresso, then dabbed each side on the ink pad to add the dark edge to them. The flowers are cut from the Floral Fusion Sizzlit, also shaded, curled a little to give them some shape and added with a dimensional. Love, love, love the new Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog! I can see that I will be using them a lot for scrapbook pages and for cards! Pearls, iridescent embossing on the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set add a little bling to the page. Matching pun

Thank You!

Image
I've been able to make lots of thank you cards this summer. You see, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, and through the process, I've had some very kind and giving people. It has humbled me greatly to hear the number of people that are praying for me, and knowing that each prayer is brought before our Mighty King and He hears and answers each one. It makes me very grateful! It has been a different summer than what we had planned, that's for sure! Chemo has not been kind some days, and then other days, I feel "normal" and back to myself again...except for no hair! I'm getting used to wearing hats and scarves, though I still can't get used to the people that look at me like I have something missing. I just try to smile and not let it bother me. Maybe they'll figure it out, and then maybe not.Thank you for the support and love I have felt from my family and friends! I know that I don't fight this battle alone and I cherish each one of you!
