A Sad Farewell....

Hello!  I hope this finds you enjoying your Saturday.

I'm here today with a sad farewell.  It is my last post as DT member for Scraptownlady. Cheryl has been a dream to work for, and has become a very good friend.  I wish her only the best!  I will also miss working with the ladies that have been my teamies.  What a talented group of people they are. We chat online, or on the phone like a bunch of sisters!  Anyway, for today's post, I'm showcasing some (probably too many) of my favorite Scraptownlady creations.

I hope you will continue to visit the Scraptownlady blog, to see what's new and exciting,

and that you'll keep checking out the Scraptownlady store - Cheryl uploads new items regularly.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Hugs,

Patti J.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a couple of fall cards to wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving.  

I'm very thankful for all of my blessings, including you!  

It's a very quiet day here.  Just DH and I until a bit later.  We have another couple coming out that also has family scattered around the countryside.  We are going to eat, watch football, eat, play dominoes, and eat dessert!

Have a wonderful day :)

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

(p.s. Both cards use amuse studio stamps)

'Tis the Season...

Well, hello!  

It certainly feels like 'the season' here.  Cold, windy, damp, yep, it's the season!  I found a new shop this week, Treasured Times Rubber Stamps and Scrapbooking, that carries some fun things!  Found this sweet digi image there, and 'needed' it for my stash!  Lots of layers make this one lots of fun.  

It's pretty self-explanatory.....give me a shout if you have questions!  Copics, torn paper, glue, glitter, cardstock, Amuse Studio Sentiment, twine, and OF COURSE my Perfect Layers rulers for the nice, even mats!  See my sidebar for details :)

The Treasured Times Blog is actually having a DT Call going on now - if you are interested, you can read about it HERE.  You can actually get this image in digi OR a real stamp!

Have a good night - I'm going to try to stay warm!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Blessings in measures of oodles...

Hi there, and Happy Saturday!  I'm here today with my Scraptownlady post, and have chosen to, again, highlight some of the amazing designer papers that are carried in Cheryl's store.

My first item is the above CAS Christmas card (as many of you have specifically requested CAS!).  I love this beautiful distressed 'enhancement' from Authentique, and it made such a pretty focal image against the matching designer paper.  Hope you like it!  Two sheets of paper, and a few pop dots later, voila!

Lid, complete with Petaloo Flowers

Next up is the above Blessings box.  I have been hoarding this empty oatmeal container for eons and decided this was the right time to alter it.  Again, a very easy project.  I wrapped the container with the designer paper, used cut outs from the 'enhancement' sheet, added a die cut and a few flowers on the lid, and I have a wonderful container to hold all of my blessings.


Just for the record, I am, indeed, blessed in measures of oodles!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Patti J.

Does this make my butt look big?

So, did that title make you even just a wee bit curious?  Tee hee...

I had a few minutes today, and decided to color another image from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

I have totally adored their stamps for a long time, but until recently, did not know that they had digi images! Woot woot!  I can afford to spoil myself with new digis now and then!

Meet Self Conscious Paulie. I'm not sure if Paulie is a Paul bear or a Pauline bear, but he/she is all decked out in his/her holiday finery!  Like all of us, the worry is, "does this make my butt look big"?

I thought this image and sentiment were so cute - just couldn't resist putting the markers to work!

Did you notice my totally perfect mats?  All done with Perfect Papercrafting Tools!

I use these on nearly every single project - to see how you can save 5% on your own set,

see my sidebar!

This card had me smiling from the get-go!  Hope you enjoy it too!

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

City Crafter - Use Wreath

Creative Card Crew - Use Pearls

Have a great day!

Hugs,

His eye is on the sparrow...

Happy Wednesday!

I found this pretty digi and sentiment set at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps a few days ago, and thought it would be perfect for someone at church that we need to send a card to.  It was easy peasy!  Print, color, fussy cut, and assemble :)  I did cut the upper bird apart from the branch, so that it could perch on the sentiment.

Image was colored with Copics, and I used my Perfect Papercrafting Rulers to get the beautifully straight mats around the sentiment!  You can use any exacto knife or rotary cutter!  Check out my sidebar for details on how you can save 5% on your very own set!

I'm entering this in the Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge: Make your mark (use markers, pencils, crayons, etc.)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great day!
