Dianna's Sunflowers

I received the nicest Thanksgiving letter from a dear friend and thought what a great time to let her know just how much her thoughtfulness meant to me.  So here is the card.  I used Crystal Effects to make the leaves pop.  The colors are all SU's new in colors.  This card is really stunning.

Letters to Santa

My dear friend Pam challenged me to use this paper.  It is rather traditional so I was out of my comfort zone.  The stamp images were a separate piece of paper that I cutout and 3D on top.  But the part I love the most is what I wrote on the inside and it goes like this:
"Although in Theory, I know I am all grown up.  But, I am very tempted to try writing a letter to Santa, Just One More Time...Feel the Magic of Believing in your Heart - Merry Christmas."

Now off to do some baking...got to get stuff mailed to my son, Norman.  He is in the Navy and out to sea. 

Watercolor Fun

I have such a love for watercolor, thought I would share with you my latest creation.  I bought this stamp 2 or 3 years ago with the idea in my head.  Well, last night it became a reality.  I embossed the image with chocolate tinsel embossing powder from Judikins and let my imagination run wild with SU watercolor crayons.  The papers are SU In Colors Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry and Chocolate Chip. The words are from Hero Arts.  Hope you enjoy!

10 Minute Card

I have been working on my "Kiss" technique.  (Keep It Simple Sister!)  It's not as easy as it seems.  I would love to challenge all of you to try making a 10 minute card.  Yes, I would advise you to set the timer......or you will go over the time limit.

I used the Patterened Pines Hostess set from the Holiday Mini.  The paper is Taken With Teal and Silver Metallic.  The snowflakes are embossed in white.  The words are from a retired set (sorry, they just matched perfect.)  The silver elastic cording is also from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I also accented the  pines and words with Dazzeling Diamonds.

Medallion Cards

I had a wonderful play date with Susanna H. on her Birthday.  We played and played until we were wore out.  She is such excellent company.  When she left we had played a lot but didn't have any finished products, so I put these together this morning and I am very pleased.  Hope all of you out there are having a great day.  If you are interested in the how to do this, give me a call.

Yesterdays yard sale was very successful, thanks to all of you.  It was so much fun making new friends and catching up with some of you I haven't seen in a long time. It's great to see the winter visitors coming back and the hibernating locals getting out of the airconditioning.

Spooky House

There is a scare in the air! All products used are from Stamp'in Up except the flying witch. She's from a punch from an unknown source. Found her in San Diego many years ago, that punch was truly a great find.

Have a great day!

EEK! EEK! Happy Halloween

Halloween is so much fun! Besides I love to waste my day. It's afternoon and I'm still playing with those darned rubber stamps. Everything I used is from Stamp'in Up except the "pom-poms" I got those at the dollar bin at JoAnn's. Now let's see if this one inspired you!

Midnight Owl

Now this one is really, really spooky! Images from Stamp'in Up.

To Cute to Spook

I am having way to much fun! This is a card I made for my granddaughter. Images are all from Stamp'in Up except the little spiders and I have no idea where they came from.

Just thought I would share.

Spooky Halloween

I started playing this morning and look what happened. I hand drew the cauldron and the bones. I punched the bats with a Martha Stewart punch. The bubbling in the cauldron is a mixture of Flower Soft and lime green glitter. Paper is the new "Cast-a-Spell" paper from Stamp'in Up. The moon and star are a sticker from Halloween's gone by. The bones were chalked and glittered with "Dazzle Diamonds."

I have way to much fun when I should be mowing the yard.

I have more Halloween Cards made and ready to post, so check back later for some spooky fun.

Have a blessed week!

Just having fun!

Got up early this morning and as usual I just had to make a card. I am hooked on "Flower Soft". Tried it a different way today. Can you guess how I did this? I used a heart punch and Terrifcally Tacky Tape. Turned out pretty cool. It's a special card for one of my sons who just deployed. I think he will like it.

I have been playing with "Flower Soft" and have really enjoyed it. We will be making pots with punches, embossing, flower soft stems, and a lot of fun.
