Daddy's little girl...

The challenge this week Paper Pretties, is sponsoring the "Oh Alice challenge".

A little girl theme is to be used.

I went to the Paper Pretties store, and found this adorable image. Perfect for fall! (Summer I miss you already!) I then remembered a sentiment that Paulette had posted a while back at Create with TLC, and thought it would be so right for this little gal!

Hope she brings you a smile! Oh, nearly forgot...the flower at the top is to cover an oopsie! lol...

Have a great Thursday - hard to believe it's already September!

Art Gave Her Wings....

I needed a couple of note cards to send off in a hurry, and this set came to mind right away!

My dear friend, Shirley, gave this set to me last weekend. Isn't she special? And isn't this stamp delightful??? Anyway, Shirley is an angel for TAC, and this set is called "Art Gave Her Wings", and I love it!

The cards were super quick, and I actually cased them from this months PaperCrafts magazine, page 30!

Hope you like them! It's month end at our place, so I will be literally buried in reports for the next two days. I'll try to check in on ya'll though!!!

Hugs,

Patti J.

A friend sharpens a friend...

The challenge this week at Stampin' Sisters in Christ is inspired by Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. We were also asked to add metal to our projects.

As soon as I saw their challenge this morning, I thought of this totally cute digi image from Create with TLC. The sentiment is computer generated onto the page with the digi image. The image is printed on patterned papers, and the girl and her 'friend' are paper pieced. The inside is stamped with "Just really glad you're my friend".

What a fun challenge, a fun image, and a scripture that we should all be more attuned to!

Hugs and smiles, my friends!!!

Where has the time gone?

So...help me out here - where in the world has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday, Iris was asking me to be on her first ever design team. Suddenly, today is my last assignment for her! Honestly, the older I get, the faster the days fly by :)

The challenge today that Iris has issued is "Anything But a Card". I've created a little pizza box from a piece of double sided cardstock, wrapped some nuggets, and voila!!! Talk about fast and easy - 15 min. project!

All stamps are The Angel Company

I hope that you continue to support Iris in her challenge - I know that I plan to! It's been fun, and I will miss chatting with this wonderful young lady! Thanks Iris!


Thanks for stopping by!


Hugs and smiles!!!

Happy Thursday!

Hi all,

Just thought I'd let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! I've been VERY busy this week with some things that I can't post for a while. I've been trying to faithfully keep up with all of you, though! Have seen some GORGEOUS creations!

Off to get hair cut, and toenails painted! Let's see, they were purple last time...what should I do for this month? Orange for fall???

(ugh...aren't feet just the ugliest things?)

Have a great day! Hugs to all! Will try to squeeze in a card to post soon :)
