Calla Lilies

Today is the day to celebrate the Featured Stamper at SplitCoastStampers.  Her name is Andrea, and she has a gallery of pretty cards.

The one I chose to CASE had this same layout, with twine and a button.  I used an old SU set called Long-Stemmed for these beautiful Calla Lilies, and reversed the color choices Andrea had on her card.

I eliminated a sentiment, as I felt it wasn't necessary. 

We're having a mixture of rain and snow today.  I'm so glad we are toasty warm in our house.  Hope you are toasty and warm wherever you are.

CCEE1307 Valentine Treat Box

Happy Valentine's Day (also DH's Birthday!)

Frances challenged us this week to make a FlatBack Treat Box.  You can find directions for it Here.

I paper pieced my fish with the double-sided designer paper from WeRMemoryMakers.

I also used my heart ef, and a couple heart punches.

Join us for this fun project, and link your box to our blog.  See  y ou again next Thursday with another fun challenge!

CHF20 Valentine

Welcome to another Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge.  This time I am your hostess, and the theme is Valentines Day.

This cow (cow 2 - 2525 Digi) with the rose in her teeth cracks me up! And how about that sentiment (I'm In The Moo-ood.... 2527 Digi)???

This little beauty is going to my DH, who also celebrates his birthday on the same day.

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and check out the blogs of the rest of the DT.

See you next week!

Snow, Copper Medallion and Peacock

We are in the midst of a blizzard, more than 2 feet of snow has already fallen, with more to come, and wild winds.  That's DH, using the snowblower for the first round.  He's 6'4" tall, so you can tell how deep the snow is!!

I had to make a brightly colored card today in self-defense!  I used the emboss resist technique, where embossing is put down first, then sponged.  I really love the soft look of the sponging.

This card is for three challenges today at SCS.  I just enjoy combining them...more of a challenge to me!

Hope you are safe and warm, wherever you are.  Thanks for looking, and enjoy your weekend.

CCEE1306 Enjoy The Ride!

Our Hostess for the month of February is Frances.  Our challenge this week is to create a card that features some sort of weather (apparently the 5th of Feb. was "Weatherperson's  Day"), ie. sun, clouds, rain, snow, etc.

As y ou can see, I stayed away from bad weather.  I'm tired of Winter already!!  I thought this fun card was more like Spring or Summer.  Am I rushing the seasons??

Please feel free to join us, and add your card to Mr. Linky HERE.  We'll be back next week with another theme from Frances.

TK Week at CHF

Here is a card I made with the Thomas Kinkade image "Guardian Castle.  It was cut with a nestie, layered on dark gray with a brick wall ef.

I colored the image with pencils, adding leaves and a flower.  The brown behind it is not part of the card.

Please join us, using your tk images from Cornish Heritage Farms.

CCEE1305 Some Like It HOT!

Joanne's last challenge this month was to use something HOT .......  I took that to mean the Beach.

This card is a combination of Rubbernecker images.  I created the bg scene, then stamped, painted, and cut out the image and popped it up.

Join us this week on our BLOG, and every Thursday for another challenge.  See ya!

CHF19 Die Cut

Michele is our hostess today for Cornish Heritage Farms.  Her theme is Die Cut, which you can see I used here for my cow (#2 - 2525 Digi), and the sentiment is #1630 and a digi as well.  My friend Mary, who has a birthday shortly, will LOVE it!

Just grands! (CHF below)

Here is Erin in her new costume                                       and Tommy in his new braces!

Erin is an Irish Step dancer, and her costumes are gorgeous (thanks to Gram and great Gram)....... she's so pretty to begin with, and only prettier on the floor before the judges.  She helped design this dress, and was so pleased with the results.  She got a trophy in pink and gold on the first outing, and everyone stopped to stare at her in her favorite color, she said.

Tommy looks pretty happy in his braces, but only time will tell how happy he is!  My daughter called this AM to tell me she had posted his picture after she dropped him off at school.  He had Tylenol before and after, but tonight he's going to be sore.

That's the latest on two of the seven.......just in case you wanted an update (and even if you didn't!)

CHF Fisherman

Here's a card I made for friends who are big into fishing!! I used Cornish Heritage Farms digis - #193 Fisherman, and #1655 Fishing You.....

The bg is CHF's Netting.  I think they are perfect together.

CHF has so many wonderful images......in red rubber and digis.  Be sure to take a look HERE, and join us at the next CHF challenge on the 29th.

Green and Green

Today I'm uploading two cards I made, 1 yesterday and 1 this morning.  I am tired of RED!  can you believe such a thing?????  My Valentine cards are all made, and sitting with their envelopes, ready for mailing.  All I have to do is get some nice crisp FIVES to put in for the Grands.  I have a few cards made for Groundhogs Day, so on to St. Pat's.  Here they are:

CCEE1303 Clean and Simple Sympathy

Welcome to another CCEE Challenge.  Our hostess Joanne chose our theme........she says she struggles with making clean and simple cards.  Personally, I don't buy that......she's so good at everything!  In addition to CAS, it has to be Sympathy.

I'm so sorry to say I needed this card, and it has gone in the mail to a friend who lost her mother.

Please join us, adding your card HERE.  See  you again in another week!

CHF18 Sketch Challenge

Here is the Challenge from Cornish Heritage Farms this week.  Kristine has given us a sketch challenge.

I really love a sketch.......I don't have to think so hard.  All I had to do was to look through my CHF images, and I was on my way.

Here is the card I made to go with the sketch.  This is a digi called "Deer With Lights" (2541).

I colored the deer in two shades of brown, RED, and gold for the bells.  The strip across is RED mirror paper.

Please join us this week (and every week) and link your card or project HERE.  There's always a prize, so use any CHF image, and Good Luck!

Easter!

Do you think I'm rushing the season?? Here is the Easter card I made today!

This card is a case of a pink one made by my cyberfriend, Lynn in Texas.  She is our Featured Stamper at SplitCoastStampers today.  It's such a pleasure to see her chosen this week!

Today will be spent as yesterday was, in front of the television, watching football.  I was just delighted to see Peyton Manning done for the year.  I'm not a fan of the Ravens (they are dirty players), but I really don't care for Denver as a place for our Pats to play after they defeat Houston today!! (Gosh! I hope I didn't jinx them!!!)

Today would be the VERY LAST day to be with my daughter-in-law, Debbie.  She is such a fan of the Patriots that even being in the room with her is painful!  She may give us a call if something unusual happens, but we are not missing her today.

Have a wonderful Sunday, enjoy the football if you are so inclined, and please root for our guys!!

CCEE1302 New Toys!

Welcome back to another CCEE Challenge.  This week Joanne has challenged us to take some time to play with new stamping "toys".

My newest toy is from Memory Box, the Frostyville Border Die Cut.  Isn't it fabulous???

The digi snowman is paper pieced, and isn't it fun that he's looking at the snow beneath his feet!!

Please join us, linking your card HERE.  Be sure to take a look at what the rest of the team has done!  See you next Thursday.
