Deck the Halls

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

My husband and I are here in Boise, Idaho visiting my oldest son and his family. They just added Amelia Hope to there sweet family just a little over a month ago. She's darling and joins her sweet sister, Esther who is 6.

It's always so wonderful to get to see the grandchildren. 

 It make my heart sing!

 

I made this card before I left on Tuesday so I could post it for today.

I was pleased how it went together and hope you do also.

 

I hope you have a chance to surf the web today and do something crafty. I'm not a Black Friday shopper. I just as soon sit home and avoid the crowds.

My inspiration for today's card is from MOJO321, using the Season of Style DSP 132340 and another stamp from Christmas Messages 131793

 for this card as I did on Wednesdays card.

Oh! What Fun

I decided today to play along with

Retro Sketches

I loved the simplicity of the sketch and wanted to break out my
Season of Style DSP 132340. 

This is what I ended with. A clean and simple card that I usually
have difficulty creating. I tend to be all about layers and embelishments! 
I'm looking forward to playing along again soon to "stretch my clean".

Happy Birthday to you!

 I created this card yesterday for my mother-in-laws birthday. And yes,

it's in the mail...Yahoo :}

She will be 88 years young next Wednesday. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

I used the MOJO320 sketch, which I love, by the way. This is definitely going to be filed so I can use it again with other paper and sentiments. 
It's such a versatile layout.

Stampin' Dimensionals 104430

Just a little testimonial on these dimensionals.

I've been paper crafting for about 10+ years and have used other dimensionals through those years, but I must say, these are really the best quality. They are easy to remove, stay where you put them and have just enough "lift" to make the pieces you want to have, well dimension, to stand out.  PERFECT !

Well, that's about it for today. I hope you take the time to visit my (click here) STORE and take advantage of the HOLIDAY SALE going on until December 2nd. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, over 70+ items on are on sale. Click the link below to download the PDF flyer.

Quick and Easy Card Class Card

After days of trying to decide what card design I should use for a  

General card for card class, this was the winner!

 I had searched our Stampin' Connection site for several days and found 

this layout by Julie Olivier. I immediately knew it would be perfect!

 Simple and by using two of my favorite stamp sets, Chalk Talk 130634 

and Papillon Potpourri 123757, I know the girls will love it. With the

 pop of Coastal Cabana, I think, just lights up the whole card. 

AND, what's not to love about butterflies? 

 The coordinating punches for these sets, makes putting cards 

so quick and easy. I know I need "quick" at times.

Papers: Strawberry Slush CS, Whisper White CS, Coastal Cabana CS

I had a copy of this Mojo319 sketch on my desk and knew I wanted to try
