Happy November!

Wow, another calendar page has turned! It's been a pretty fall, but not quite as colorful as some, due to the lack of rain.  Hope you are all well, and that you had a fun Halloween!

Here are a few more 'lost and found' items to share!

We have girl's day in, now and then, and we all bring a card kit for each person there.

This cute card was designed by my bestie, Shirley Hotop, and created by me!

Inside of card:

This one is from Crackerbox Stamps, I think! Isn't it adorable?

The next two were made one day, while creating at my bestie's house. She and I have a great time getting inky!  All Stampin' Up! products.

Stampin' Up! papers

Very quick Valentine's card. Hmmm....no memory of who, what, or where.

Thanks for popping in! I'm going to do my best to keep 'something' popping up here, while we are in CO getting hubby's radiation!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Hello friends!

Hello friends!

I'm back with a few more 'lost and found' photos to share with you. Give me a shout out if you need more info than I have time to share, and I'll try to help you out!!!

Another fun Ruth Petsel card!!!

I can't remember! Maybe card and cuppa? Sigh...

One more Stampin'Up! kitty card...

This was a mystery package from Sally McDonald at a Card and Cuppa get together. She gave us each 'scraps' of this and that, and we were to make a card, and she would give us a discount on our next Stampin' Up! order. How cool is that?

This was way too much fun! It's a Unity stamp set, and I totally love it!

Ugh, another one I don't remember, but it is definitely Stampin' Up! products!!!

Thanks for dropping by!!! We are about to begin radiation treatments - wish us well! Hoping this makes my handsome man well, and he can finally begin to enjoy his retirement!!!

Hugs to all,

Patti J.

One week later...

Well, here I am again!  

I have a few more 'blasts from the past' to share with you. I probably have enough of these to keep me posting all winter long!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs,

Patti J.

These were all created in a card class that one of my very favorite people, Ruth Petsel, taught.

Isn't she talented??? We have a great time gathering together as lovers of all things paper! 

Enjoy your weekend - I'll be back next week!

Crazy Days here!

Hello everyone!

I'm going to attempt to post a few blogs here and there, but won't have time to link products or explain techniques. Our winter is going to be full of scans, tests, Dr. appointments, radiation appointments for hubby, and lots of grandkid hugs for us both! 

Thanks for your patience the last few months - I've gotten into my craft room very little. Hoping that improves toward the end of January, but until then, it's a wild ride for us!!!

Here are a few cards that will hopefully bring a smile or two!

Made this one for some friends that we know, who moved into a new home last Christmas...

Next up, is one that I created when our dear grand-dog Rosie crossed the Rainbow Bridge...

The next three are made with Stampin' Up! supplies.

Hope you're getting inky!!!

Hugs and smiles,

Beautiful Trees

Hello out there!

Hope you are all enjoying the slightly cooler days! Personally, I like the heat, but I

know I'm definitely in the minority! 

I thought I'd share several cards made from stamps in the September release 

at Technique Junkies.

First up, is a card made with Bare Branches as the background, and a sentiment 

from Beautiful Trees popped up on the focal panel. I love the simplicity of

this card!

The next card uses the same two stamp sets.

This card was created with Hillside Pines (an older stamp), and a sentiment from

Beautiful Trees. I inked the tree stamp, then spritzed it with water, so that the

trees faded out a bit.

Next up, the Bare Branches was stamped onto a sheet of designer paper with an ombre

pattern, using Versamark Ink, so that the branches look like a shadow.

I like the looks of the almost translucent branches! The sentiment

is from Beautiful Trees.

Last up is a super easy card.

I simply found a piece of pretty designer paper, and adhered it to a card base.

The sentiment, from Beautiful Trees, was stamped onto the designer paper in a coordinating

ink color, and a bow was added to the panel.

Hope you saw something that triggered you to stamp today!

I'm happy you stopped by, hope to see you soon!

Whoop!

Whoop! Here I am with another fun card from the Technique Junkies September release!

I have a super-fun card to share today!

I used the new release stamp, Whoop, for this creation. I chose a fun die to

compliment the sentiment, then stamped the sentiment in a fun green ink.

The circle was adhered to a card base on top of a panel of colorful

designer paper.

Doesn't this one truly make you happy?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Small Creatures

Today, I'm here to share a couple of fun cards made with some new Technique Junkies stamps. 

 I think you'll enjoy them!

This first card uses the Squirrel on Branch image, and the Small Creature sentiment stamps.

The image was stamped onto white cardstock, colored with Copic markers, and fussy

cut. I did a bit of color blocking in monotone fashion for this one, and popped the image 

up with foam dots for some dimension. I take lots of joy in feeding the squirrels here

in Missouri, so this one was special to me!

Next up is one of God's little critters that I personally think is 'so ugly he's cute'...lol! 

Look at this little face, and those wee short legs! How cute ??? is that?

To create this card, the Hedgehog stamp was used for the card front. Inside,

I used a sentiment from the Beautiful Trees set.  

Hope that these cards gave you a bit of happy today!

I'll be back in a couple of days with a few more shares from the Sept. release!
