From Our Home To Yours

Happy Weekend!

So glad that it's Friday.  There is so much to do to get ready for the holidays!

 

It's Christmas again!

 

I used the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp.  Isn't this a great sketch?!!

My dp is old stash from Memory Box and cs is DCWV.  I have no idea where this stamp comes from.  It's the first time I have used it because I had to peel off the cushion backing.  That's the problem with unmounted stamps, unless you store them from whence they came...sorry, I don't.

I used Versafine Olympic Green ink and added Swarovski crystals.  Ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne Designs Holiday Lane set and I used dies from Taylored Expressions and SU!

I need to go work on my Christmas card list now!

Home for Christmas

 

I've got another Christmas card to share tonight. 

 

 

I stamped this Impression Obsession image with Versamark and then heat embossed it using The Powder Keg Tanzanite embossing powder.  The sentiment is from the Lizzie Anne Designs Holiday Lane set.  The Nestie border is cut out of Wausau Pearlescent.  I used a strip of Michael's grosgrain ribbon.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Majestic Blue on the pearlescent paper, punched out and popped up on the SU! blue punch out.  The snowflakes (MFT die) are also made with the pearlescent paper, popped up with 3M foam tape and topped off with a Swarovski crystal.  I used the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Hi Everyone!

I've got another Christmas card today.

 

 

I pulled out an old Impression Obsession stamp, stamped it with Memento, colored it with Copics, added Art Institute Faux Snow and then Icy Stickles.  I used Nestie Blossom dies and an SU! punch.  DP is Wassill from Basic Grey.  I added square rhinestones to the sentiment tag after stamping the Papertrey image with Versafine Black Onyx. The sketch comes from Fetch A Sketch.

 

I am also entering the following challenges:

It's very late. 

I had a big deadline for work today that I have been working on for days.  Then there was Geena Bea's agility class.  After being gone to Mississippi Fri-Sun, I'm wiped out.  So here's a photo of an old card I made in 2011.

 

 

This is a Magnolia image stamped with Versamark and heat embossed.  The squares were punched out of various black and white papers with an SU! punch.  The circle and scallop are Spellbinder die cuts.  Rhinestones are scattered throughout the design.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back with something new tomorrow!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Happy Monday!

It was actually nice to go to work today after travelling this weekend, though the morning did come rather early!

 

I have another Christmas card.  At this point, I think I am beginning on my stash for Christmas 2013!

 

 

The stamp set is from Shirley's 2 Girls.  I just love this mischievious kitty!  I used the sketch over at Christmas Card Challenges.  All paper is very old stash from Hobby Lobby (A Country Christmas, 2008).  Stars, snowflake and ribbon  are from my stash.  The image is colored with Copics.

 

I am also entering the following challenges:

 

Cards Galore - Christmas

Ladybug Crafts - Christmas or winter

Happy Sunday!

 

I have just returned from my agility road trip.  We had a blast!  Tonight's card is one I made for one of the donors to the rescue with which I volunteer.

 

 

That's it for tonight.  Way too tired to do anything else!

Doggoneit!

Happy Saturday!

Since I am spending the weekend with my friend Kathy, her 2 dogs, and my furbaby, Geena Bea, at an agility trial in Mississippi {leaving DH to be nursemaid to our sick, but improving Schmitzy, while entertaining the other 2}, I thought it would be appropriate to post a doggie card.

 

I have a birthday card for those occasions that slip our minds - the belated card!

 

 

I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background, SU! dp for the fishtail (MFT) and image mount and stamps from Repeat Impressions (dog) and Rosie's Roadshow (sentiment).   I colored the happy little guy with Copics.

 

The sketch is from the challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

 

I am also entering the following challenge:
