Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! Yikes! I just realized that it's Friday, the 13th! I know that you're having a super-wonderful day! I am too!

Here's a few more items from my stash - if you ever have questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them!

I think the stamps, paper and tree die is Stampin' Up. The deer are Memory Box or Poppy Stamps.

Made this one with scraps for our grandson. Sadly, he never got it. It was in a package sent to him via UPS, and it's 'lost'.  Well...we know where it landed - in Palo something or other California, at a UPS center, but it's apparently not moved since August. Bah...

Our son and bonus daughter had an anniversary. Couldn't resist a funky chicken card for them!

Hope it gave them a few giggles!

The next 5 cards were special ordered by someone. She wanted some 'pretty' and some funny.

I made 6 of these for a fall card swap that I was in.

This was a fall card swap that I received

Here is the 2nd swap card I received

Stampin' Up! products

Stan got a ride to the airport from a friend of ours in our church family. He has a big pickup truck, but drove his wife's smaller SUV that day. Stan had some really BIG bags, as he took out all of the winter coats, gloves, boots, sweatshirts, etc.  Found this fun image, and ran with it.

One last card today. A card making friend passed away, and her husband wanted her creative friends to have her stamps. This was a set from The Stamps of Life. We have friends at church that raise Llama's, and this was too cute not to grab. Hope she liked it!!!

That's all for today!

Have a blessed weekend, and I'll be back on the 20th with another photo heavy post!

Hugs,

Fun with Friends Swap Hop

Good morning!

I'm here today with a bit of fun!

A few weeks ago, seven of us decided we would do a Christmas/Winter card swap.

It was so much fun to see the different cards come in, that we decided to take it one step

further, and do a blog hop with our swap cards!

This is just for fun...no prizes, but we hope that you are inspired by something
that you see today!

Here is my (first) swap card:

Once my mailbox began filling with swap cards, I panicked!

This card, which looked so pretty initially, now looked pretty drab and plain, so...............

here is card number two:

I actually used this card for two swaps.

The first attempt was the card with the larger flakes.

I simply could NOT get the ink to dry, so I added some Liquid Pearls to the top of the stamped snowflakes.

Since I was still feeling a bit inadequate (lol...) I tucked a little tag into each envelope.

Anyway, we had a great time!  Hope you will swap cards with us sometime!

Now, you can hop along with us, to see what the other uber-talented folks created!
