Happy Valentine's Day
Boy I have really been behind the eight ball
for the last few holidays but
Especially for Valentine's Day
thought my co-workers were all going
to cry when I said I didn't think I would
be able to get any cards done...
luck for me a simple design and some
crazy stamping and I was able to pull it off...
NO TEARS AT WORK TODAY!
started with one of my favorite all time dies
form Mama Elephant
ink the base with Tim Holtz
cracked pistachio
added some beautiful flowers from
Lawn Fawn
it's no wonder both of these are sold out
but they always come back in stock
Hope everyone has a sweet Day!

Happy Thanksgiving
wow don't know where my time is going this last month
I can't seem to get anything done.
Feel like it takes me twice as long to do half as much....
guess that is just the way life is.
woke up early this morning made a cup of coffee,
went in to my craft room
luckily I found lots of goodies I made last year and
never used organized everything and made this quick little card
Happy Thanksgiving is from
Thankful for You
The cute little chicks at from
The banners and circles are from
My Favorite Things
there are pierced and unfortunately they don't make them anymore
but any circle or banner dies will do.
A button and a bow and one Thanksgiving card is done.

this card is a combination of some
very good things

dancing in an autumn sun,
and brilliant shades of crimson
glowing when a day is done...
