Snow Day Craziness

We woke up to some inches of snow that we were not supposed to get.  Needless to say, we are not Winter people.......the only season in New England that doesn't make us jump for joy.

As I type, DH is out with the snow blower (he asked me if I would like to learn how to use it.  Silly boy!).

Snow days make me crazy.  I am a bit nutty (?) to begin with, and I'm sure you know that, so it's not much of a reach to understand my card on SCS yesterday.

This goes to one of our grands who loves cards with funny sayings.  Here it is:

"THIS is my step ladder.  I never knew my REAL ladder."

Couldn't resist.

CCEE1950 Santa in the Window

For our last challenge of the year, Lynn asks that we create a card with a window.

"It will then be your choice on whether  you want to be peeking IN on Santa or peeking OUT at Santa.  I can't wait to look through your window to spy on Santa.  Have fun!!"

The two black kitties are watching as Santa and his reindeer wish them a Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

CCEE1949 Big and Bold

Our hostess for the two weeks in December is Lynn.  For the challenge, she asks us to create a holiday card where a BIG and BOLD sentiment is the star on the front of our design.

The saying is the whole card......I added an embossed frame, and some tiny leaves of holly where the dotted "i" is placed.

Please join us for our last two challenges of 2019 HERE.

A Raise for Erin

Got a call last night from our granddaughter Erin.  Seems she got a  5% raise, in advance of her review next month.  How cool is that?!  I made a card for her this AM, and it's in the mailbox waiting to be picked up soon.

It fulfilled two challenges this AM on SplitCoastStampers, the Free4All, and the MIX (splat). 

We are delighted to hear she is doing well, but are not in the least surprised!!

CCEE1937 Honey Month

Frances tells us, "Apparently September is Honey Month, so for our challenge this week use this as your inspiration ... honey, bees, bears, even stamp companies that have honey in their name!"

I haven't made a shaker card in ages, and now I'm not so sure of what I put in it.  There are gold sequins and black and gold microbeads.  I think I should have left the black out.....makes it look kinda dirty.

My grandson John's girlfriend, Autumn, will appreciate the work, so it will go to her.

CCEE1936 Tall Cards

Our hostess for the month of September is Frances. She says:

"The 3rd of September was Skyscraper Day.  For our challenge this week let's make tall cards."

This card will go to my daughter, Amy, who always has twenty things going at once.  I thought this would bring a smile.  I used hats from a number of different sets, and the paper pieced crazy cat.
