Catch up #3

Well, here we go again! I'm still working through the things I created the last 2 months, but didn't share. Hope you're not totally bored to tears yet!

My friend Ruth had this hanging on a brown paper bag, as a tag for each of us at one of her classes.

I turned it into a Christmas card!

Another of Ruth's class cards...

And another...

One more!

This one I made using a Stampin' Up set called 'Sending'. I use this set a lot!

Take two...

This is another beautiful stamp from Stampin' Up. NO, I am not and do not plan to become a demonstrator, but I do love some of their products!

This card is another of Ruth's class cards. The image is from Stamps by Judith.

Another card from Ruth's kit...fun!

This is one we made at my friend Sally's Card and a Cuppa. We have so much fun the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays!

Last, but definitely not least! Isn't this card SO much fun? This was another of Ruth's card kit items. Makes you smile, right?

Have a great week!

Hugs to ya'll,

Patti J. 

Catching up again (still)...

Whew...

How did I manage to make all of these cards and not share them?  Anyway, here I am with another photo-heavy post, my friends! Hoping to be caught up in a few days, and back to a normal posting routine.

This one was made at a class taught by my friend Ruth:

The next 3 cards are from another Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up.

Here is one more card that was made at Ruth's class!

Thanks for dropping by today - I appreciate your visit!!!

Hugs and grins,

Another Catch-Up Post...

Hi all,

Hope this finds you all well. It's been so quiet here, and hard to get motivated. Now, with tax prep looming, I thought I'd try to get a few posts ready to go before the paperwork buries me!

Here are a bunch of cards that I've forgotten to post. Let me know if you have questions!

This one is made using the Stampin'Up's Christmas Scottie set. SO stinkin' cute!

This one was one my friend, Sally McDonald's Card and a Cuppa projects. We used the Stanpin'Up set 'Paradise Palms'. Sally's daughter lives in Hawaii, so this one was lots of fun to create!

Another Stampin'Up set 'Peace to You' - such a beautiful set!

These 3 cards are also from 'Peace to You' set

These 3 cards are from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin Kit. Cute, and so easy!

Last, we needed a sympathy card. This one uses some pretty designer paper from Hobby Lobby, and a nice sentiment. Can't remember who makes it, but if there is need to know, I'll figure it out!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

RIP Sweet Sophie

 

On July 16, 2011, hubby brought home this sweet little girl. I had a ‘name that dog’ contest on my blog, and Sophie was the winning name. We are sad to say that Sophie crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning at doggie E.R. She had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure a couple of months ago, and had a terrible last few days. The labs today showed that her liver and kidneys had shut down. So far, 2023 is not too much fun! Sophie is now running and playing with her doggie sis, Flake, and Wimpy, our grand-dog. Fly high, sweet girl - we love you!

Christmas Shadow Box Swap

Hello friends!

I've been away for a good while, and thought I should pop in with a bit of winter cheer!

There are 9 of us creative folks that decided to get a shadow box swap together. Our good friend, Sally McDonald has led us all in this fun endeavor!

Here is our Christmas swap:

I must apologize for the awful photo. With the glass, I almost have to stand on my head to avoid a glare. I probably should have removed the glass for the photo...duh!

Anyway, from left to right:

top row: Ruth Petsel, Vicki Parson, Shirley Hotop

middle row: Patti Gilliam, Beth Norman-Roberts, Donna Thielker

bottom row: Cheryl Gammon, Tonya Diediker, Sally McDonald

We are having a great time with this swap - next up are 'Winter' squares, which we are almost finished with!

Hope that you all had a very merry Christmas!

We were 'home alone', and actually managed to stay out of trouble! 

Blessings to all for a healthy, and happy 2023!

Catching Up...

Hi there!

Well, I have a lot more catching up to do! Seems I am making very little these days, until I go to post what I've made! Then I realize I've created more than I thought!

Here are a few little treat boxes I made for a stamping day at Ruth's house:

I made a whole family of reindeer boxes, using the Stampin' Up Design a Treat bundle from this years mini catalog. Aren't they adorable?

Since Ruth was hosting, she needed double trouble, so I found this cute tutorial HERE, and made her a box for TWO reindeer treat boxes!

And last, but not lease, here is what is inside!

Thanks for dropping by today!

Will try to be a bit more prompt in my posting of creations, I promise!!!

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

Cards by Cheryl

Good morning, friends!

Today, I'm featuring some pretty cards that I made in a class a week or so ago. The class was taught by my good friend, Cheryl Gammon. It was her very first time to teach, so Sally, Shirley, and I signed up, and we had a great time. Cheryl was an amazing, CALM teacher, and we all loved our cards!  Great job, Cheryl!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.
