FF0056 Vintage Hello


Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a very simple card today, although it took me long enough to make, LOL!  It's for the Festive Friday Library Worker challenge, as well as the Addicted to Stamps and More CAS challenge:



I chose pencils, yellow and ribbon for my CAS card:


I have had this line of pencils stamp for a long time; I got it at a stamp show, but it was unmounted, and I can't remember the name of the company!  I stamped it in Stazon and colored it with a Crushed Curry marker, then diecut it with the largest Stitched Rectangle die:


The typewriter and "hello" are from a Stamplorations set called Vignette:  Old Type.  The tag is a Simon Says Stamp diecut (Bundle of Stitched Shapes), and I used some gold satin ribbon from SU!


 It was all mounted on a Crushed Curry card base.  I didn't add a sentiment on the inside yet; I'll do that when I figure out what occasion for which it will be used!  Thanks for popping in today!

My birds have been busy at my feeders; these are not the best pictures, but I'll keep working on them!

A male downy woodpecker; I had moved this feeder to another spot, and he was quite upset, so I had to move it back, LOL!


A brown thrasher, hiding under my forsythia; he has yellow eyes, and is quite active shoving aside leaves and sticks to get to the bugs underneath!


The feathers of the goldfinches are brightening up:


A this little chickadee is hard to catch...they fly away quickly!


And this pair of house finches (or purple finches, I can never tell the difference), loves to sit on the tray feeder!


I also have a pair of bluebirds building their nest in our bird box...I keep trying to get a picture of them, but they're skittish too!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

TMS525 Quick and Merry


Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a quick, easy card for you today----it uses the Tuesday Morning Sketches sketch, the Addicted to Stamps and More Holiday challenge, and some Let It Snow Specialty paper:



This sketch scared me a little, but then I remembered my CTMH Multi Circles Window die, which made this card a SNAP!  I cut out a frame from Whisper White cardstock and layered it on a piece of the Let It Snow paper.....I hated to cover up the opposite side (it has all the cute snowmen on it) but I did snip out one little snowman, ribboned him up in Call Me Clover and added a sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas:


These adorable patterns make creating fun cards so easy!  Thanks for popping in today!


Now that they're home, I can share the adventure the kids were on:




More pix to follow!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

CLC A Cup of Inspiration

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I confess...as much as I love coffee, I have never played with the Coffee Lovers Cardmakers challenge!  I needed a special thank you for a special friend, so this was the perfect time to play!  Here's their photo inspiration:


I recently got an adorable Close to My Heart stamp set and couldn't wait to play with some of the images, especially this wee little coffee cup:



My card is notecard-sized; the image was stamped in Sahara Sand and I colored it with SU Blends, stamping the stars with Soft Suede and the other elements with Sahara Sand:


I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso on Creamy Caramel cardstock before embossing it with a polka dot embossing folder, then added a little burlap ribbon and a Mint Macaron heart!  Love this color combo! Now this is getting popped in the mail ASAP!  And since Addicted to Stamps and More wants us to "make our mark" with markers, I am also entering it there!  


Thanks for popping in today!

We had rain all day yesterday, but for a few minutes in the late afternoon, I noticed a HUGE double rainbow out the window!  The sky was such an odd color....I ran outside and tried to photograph it but it was just too big...I couldn't get it all in the frame:



However, Dana's friend Kate managed to capture it perfectly - she is an amazing photographer - haloing her barn in the beautiful Chester Country countryside:


Yep.....that's just what it looked like!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
