Thank Goodness It Is Friday

Good Morning, I hope everyone is doing well. I just have a quick post today. Just to show off a few cards I did for a friend. She called me Wednesday night looking for 6 homemade thank you cards. Which is funny cause I have been trying to make a thank you card for my Aunt for having us this past weekend. Anyways here are two of the cards I have made for this friend. I like how them came out. Dry embossing is something I have not done in a long time. It has been so long could not find my light box so had to do it the old fashion way up against the window even. Not sure the company that I got the buttons from since I have them all in one big box sorted by colour. I used my liquid mono for adhering it. And the whole thing was stuck together by dollar store adhesive squares. The stamp was from Stampin Up the I Believe stamp set. The ink was Stampin Up as well. As always hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend. I hope to have a post out on Monday to show you what I get done at the all day crop I am suppose to go too. Thanks.

MIA - Christmas time is busy busy busy!

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for being MIA the last few days. Between starting my shopping and the Christmas crafts that I have planned, I am finding it hard to blog and keep up. So here are a few cards that I have been making. Tomorrow I will show you what I have been up too for the little children I watch over during the day.

So this card is using Whisper White Stampin Up cardstock, Michaels brand Recollections paper, a white gel pen, the nestibilities dies in my cuttlebug, and a Merry Christmas stamp from a Stampin Up set which at this moment slips my mind. Oh and of course some stickles for the bling in the middle.

Alright for this card I again used Whisper White Stampin Up cardstock. The other red and white layers were Michaels brand paper called Recollections. Stickers were used for the Snowman and snowflakes. But there is some patterned cardstock under the stickers which I believe is DCVW stack from Michaels again.

And for my last card which I believe has me almost caught up, is Santa from the Paper Doll

Dress Up cartridge. I used my cricut to cut out the doll and the accessories. My white gel pen

came in handy to highlight the parts on his boots and jacket and hat. I used a little brown chalk to high light his beard and mustache. The red cardstock as the base was Recollections brand from Michaels as well as the pattern paper was also from Michaels and I believe is also DCVW. The base is embossed using my cuttlebug just the name of the folder escapes me a the moment too but it was highlighted with some close to cocoa ink from Stampin Up.

I hope you have enjoy the cards today and I will have more stuff to show you tomorrow. Looks like it will be a quiet day in the house today cause it is snowy but not enough to be a snow day. So only the little ones home with me today. But after shovelling my driveway and helping my neighbour with his I am going to go and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee I think I deserve it. Have a good day and hope to be back chatting soon.

Day 5 Starting to Look Alot like Winter

Hello Everyone,
Well I am a big supporter of snow doesn't make Christmas, lol. It only makes winter and cold. But starting to feel a little more festive with a few decorations out and the kids being excited about doing the advent calendar. And I hear that here we are suppose to start getting some snow tomorrow and the weather men are saying it won't stop till Monday. Not sure how much we are expecting but I know it will make for a quieter weekend. Not so much getting out with the way the roads are going to be. Anyways I have another card for you today. I had made this for my private stock of cards to send out for the holidays but loved it so much that I shared it with the card workshop I had hosted. Most of the items were actually Stampin Up products, the shaped die cut paper that the trees are stamped on is Stampin Up. As well the trees and black embossing powder was Stampin Up. The paper was my Michaels Recollections brand and of course had to put some stickles on the trees. The blue sky was done with Brocade Blue Stampin Up ink. The Swiss dots cuttlebug die was used for the white mat that is on the black cardstock.















I hope you enjoy and have to say I am not the best photographer but was pleased how the camera picked up the stickles sparkle.

Happy Fathers Day

Just a quick post today to wish all the Dads out there a very nice relaxing day. My Dad is not in town with us so we will probably be visiting my father in law, (but don't worry Dad I will call).And Mum has your gift in some box I believe. I did want to post a picture of a fathers day card I had made. Originally a friend wanted me to make one but this one came out so cute, yet again I couldn't part with my creation. So I have posted it here so that it can be shared with many Dads. My husband's card I will post at a later date since he will be seeing some of these posts before they are officially published and really don't want him to have a sneak peek before the actual day.
Happy Fathers Days Dads you deserve it!
See you again real soon.
Amy
