CHF Winter Village

My card today is a case of one by Julia, our QFTD at SCS.  Her card has a BEE, mine is certainly a different theme.

This is a digi stamp by Cornish Heritage farms called Winter Village (1083K), and using Gimp, I changed the black to purple for this card.

It's also for the Free 4 All challenge...fruits and veggies.  One of the options was to use a color for the theme, so I chose grape.  I just couldn't get my act together for a fruit or veg card.  Christmas is still on the table top!

Have a great day.

CCEE1248 Ribbon Lacing

Our last CCEE challenge of the month for our hostess Vicky Gould is Ribbon Lacing.  We were told we could lace through a bracket, piece of lattice work, cardstock......whatever.

I laced the RED ribbon through holes made with a punch, then tied a bow.  The snowman is a Sizzix die cut, and I think he is just the cutest!

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and we'll see you in December!

Christmas in Saffron

I love to make Christmas cards in non-traditional colors.  This one uses Saffron, a pale shade of yellow.

The center is cut out with an oval floral nestability.  The image is from SU - Lovely as a Tree, one of my all-time favorites, and sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I made this specifically for the Featured Stamper (thecircleguru) at SCS today, changing a number of things she did to make it my own.  I hope she likes it(and you too!).

Have a great day.......we'll be joined by #2 son and family today for some food and football.

Glitter for Sue

Our Queen for the Day, Sue, will be enjoying a lot of cards made in her honor.  I hope she likes this one I cased from her wonderful gallery.

I hope you can see the powdery glitter on the panel with the ornament.  IRL it's very pretty.

We had a fab Thanksgiving...good food, even if I do say so myself (the cook), and fun being with the family.  I hope yours was as good as ours.  To top it off, our Pats won BIG!!

CCEE1247 Challenge

Welcome to another CCEE challenge.  Our hostess for the month of November is Vicky Gould.

She challenged us to make a card using Brown,, Yellow, and Orange, along with designer paper (any size or shape). 

I made a very simple card using the A2 size, with some wonderful Fall paper.  I used a leaf stamp and a Thanksgiving sentiment to go with my ribbon and acorn charm.

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and come back again next Thursday for CCEE1248.

I would like also to wish my daughter Amy the happiest birthday ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Irish Dancer

For those of you that had the interest to come here, this is our beautiful granddaughter, Erin, in her solo dress.  I couldn't resist a little bragging!!  And I have to tell you, that as gorgeous as she is, she is just that nice, sweet, and pleasant too.  (Her brothers may not agree, but EVERYONE else does!!)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

CHF14 Trees!

Our Hostess Kristine Reynolds challenged us to make a card with trees............Fall trees, Christmas trees, snowy trees, etc.

I embossed this tree using only part of the folder.  With a dark green background, and white cardstock, I added a RED bow, and sentiments (NEW! from Night Before Christmas - CHF) in green and RED.

A Few Posts

This is the card I made today for the Inspiration Challenge.  The site Stef picked had wonderful RED bowls.  I used the solid as the bg for my new Tim Holtz reindeer die cut, and the trees which I haven't used before either.  I added some snowflakes with pearls and a ribbon.  Kinda okay I think.

This card I made for Gabby, our Queen For The Day yesterday.  I cased a Halloween card she made, and used the same layout, but changed the theme, as I'm sure I didn't need to tell you.

Today my two youngest grandsons, Tommy and John, are arriving.  They are at a Boy Scout overnight, and have an empty house, since my DD, DGD, and DS-in-law are away.  What a treat to have these boys.......11, and 12, but still little boys.  They are excited to come because they know that I will craft with them.

Have a great day, wherever you are.

Falling Snowflakes

The challenges today were......use newsprint RED, white, and black, and Gabby (gabalot) is Queen for the day.  I cased a wonderful card of hers called "The Colors of Fall", using her layout, but changing the colors and theme.  I loved having my favorite color combo chosen today!!!

The sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps:

209-07 Winter Holiday #4.

I'm off to the chiropractor again at noon today.  My neck is still not good, and I'm throwing the rest of myself off by holding it wrong.  A few more trips and I'll be right as rain again.

CCEE1246 Fall/Thanksgiving

Welcome back to another CCEE challenge.  This week Vicky has chosen  a Fall or Harvest theme.

My images are from new rubber sets at Cornish Heritage Farms, and the set is called Fall Harvest.

Please join us, and link your card HERE, and remember we have a new challenge every Thursday!

Spirit Of Love

One of the neatest things is being able to cut sentiments apart to use just what fits!  I used Rubbernecker 508- Garden Phrase Set, and cut only Spirit of Love to ink up in RED.

This card is for the combined challenges at SCS this morning - the Technique Lover's Challenge (trees), and the Clean And Simple (a sketch with four thingies hanging down.  I flipped the sketch, obviously)

Another Christmas card for my stash.  Thannks for visiting me again!

CHF Night Before Christmas

Here's the card I made this morning, using one of the beautiful sentiments from CHF.  It's in a set called "Night Before Christmas".  Be sure to check out Cornish Heritage Farms for wonderful new rubber stamps!!

The paper I used in addition to the layered white (embossed with a winter motif folder) is from Momenta, and is called The Story Of Us.  It's shiny and textural, and I've been hoarding it long enough!

The snow is gone, and the sun is out.  We're expecting a few days in excess of 60 degrees.  Guess Fall isn't over yet!

Enjoy your weekend.  Hugs to you all.

A Bee For Angie!

I made this card for Angella Crockett, the QFTD at SCS.  Her cards are always beautiful, and so well laid out.  I changed a few things, but essentially it's very like hers.  I hope she likes it, and that you do too.

I used the following Rubbernecker sets:

sentiment: 508 garden Phrase Set
bee: 512 Create a Garden Set 1

The two challenges today are combined in this card.  I love to do that.

Have a fabulous day!!

CCEE1245 Portion of EF

Our Hostess, Vicky Gould, challenged us to use only a portion of an embossing folder.

I used half of the snowflake ef.  Additionally, I embossed a little snowguy.

Please join us again this week, linking your card HERE.

See you next week!

Snowman

What a perfect day for a snowman.  We are awaiting snow....and I have to say we are not looking forward to it!

Winter comes too soon, and Fall doesn't last long enough.

Friday is the day for the closing on Mom's house, and DD is the attorney handling it.  She will have to drive an hour and a half to get to the registry for us.  We would like the snow to hold off, but she is intrepid......that won't bother her a bit!  How nice to have her do this for us, so we can sit and wait for the check to arrive!!

Hope you are safe and sound, and enjoying your day!  Thanks for visiting.

CHF13 Thomas Kincade

Our challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms is presented by Dawn Bennett.  She asked us to make a card using a stamp by Thomas Kincade.

I used  "Graceland Christmas" (TK124) for my card. The sentiment  comes from the new set "Night Before Christmas".  The image is stamped in Olive, and all I added was a pair of flowers.

If you would like to play along with us of course we would love to have you! AND - if you do, you could win a $10 Gift Certificate and a Winner's Badge to put on your Blog!

CCEE1244 Faux Pressed Flowers

Vicky Gould is our hostess for the month of November.  For her first challenge, she requested Faux Pressed Flowers.

I punched out flowers to match the dp, then after I added the dp at the bottom, I ran it through the cb, using the lattice folder.  The sentiment comes from Rubbernecker Stamps (600 Phrase Set - Best Wishes), which I stamped in Lagoon and sponged.  It's mounted on a circle, and added to ribbon.

We hope you will join us, linking  your card HERE, and that you will check in with us again next (and every) Thursday!!
