Happy Friday stampers, scrappers & crafters!

Another Friday upon us! Now just where did this week go, I ask? So it's time for another card post and then off to check Beate's WSCS!

I ordered from High Hopes stamps and received this darling pair of angels too! Tina the owner is a fine sweet lady, and giving her business is a pleasure! These cuties are plum tuckered out from playing with their feather pillows! So I inked them up before they fell asleep! (wink)!

Bella's Ballet

Happy Thursday Stampers, scrappers & crafters!

My darling dear grand daughter Isabella (Bella) was here at Christmas, we all went to the wonderful local scrap store together! My DD (crafty in Calgary) is a stampin' Up gal, and got me into this hobby a few years ago! Bella saw these lovely pop on' ballerina's and she had to have them! I promised her I would make her a card and mail it to her in Canada! Perhaps you may remember, I had made Bella the cute mailbox for Valentine's Day, her Mom tells me she just adores it and puts her cards into it!
This is so healing for this granny, let me tell ya! (big smile)! Oh I miss my dear Bella!
She has been doing dance classes for many months now, and working hard each Saturday on a dance for a show coming up in June. I am hoping to be able to make the trip up to see Bella make her dance debut! !

Beate's WSCS #36 challenge

Happy Tuesday stampers, scrappers & crafters!

Today I had the pleasure of making Beate's sketch # 36! Such a treat for me you know! (smile)

This weeks sketch was a nice layout to work with for me. I strayed just a bit from the sketch to add my sentiment, but what's a gal to do? He he!

I finally opened my Ginger Blossoms paper (SU)! and I just love them! I will probably hoard these beauties! SU! does such a wonderful job with all of their products!

I decided to try putting the entire card (scored & folded) through my CB, and much to my surprise the entire card embossed beautifully! Just thought in case you didn't know, I wanted to share this tip!

Recipe:

CS-Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery -SU!

DP-Ginger Blossoms-SU!

CB-Swirls folder

Scallop punch-SU! Square scallop punch-Marvy, Fiskars scallop scissors (around sentiment)

Shannon (having trouble with link, blog is listed on my side bar) (Live Love Laughand Stamp) is having a cool challenge color challenge. Check out Shannon's blog, it is filled with wonderful creations and she is such a sweetie!

HOPE...

Have you ever made a card for yourself? I have made a few to make me smile and support my challenge.

This card has a lot of meaning to me personally, I placed it on my dresser to look at each day.(smile)! That being said, I think the card turned out nicely and would be appropriate for the right occasion, when hope is needed to keep the faith.

Feeling the cherry blossoms, since on my walk yesterday I saw the first sign of flowers on a tree in pure white! Just beautiful! I dug out this favorite stamp and made this card yesterday after I returned from my walk. Before we know it our fruit trees will be in full pink buds and blossoms! (smile)!

Love this new 08' October Afternoon acrylic set!

I saw this set in one of the many reviews from CHA and this cute turtle and mushroom caught my eye immediately! I just had to have it, so I got real lucky and found it! It stamps nicely and has lots of stamp options on the sheet.

I like the clean inked stamp look without coloring the image (turtle) for this one. I will play with the turtle and color him up next time!

Froggie Pocket Fun!

Happy Saturday stampers, scrappers & crafters!

This one is for you Alex!

When Alex was selling some of her retired SU! stamp sets, I bought this darling set Pocket Fun. I had always wanted it in my collection, and I just adore it! So this one is for my bud Alex! (smiles)!

I thought the blue jean paper that I found at Michael's was perfect for the pocket! Mr. Froggie is peeking out to say hi, and the sentiment (from the set) is just wonderful!

Have a wonderful weekend! Deb

Faith

Happy Friday stampers, scrappers & crafters!

Another week has passed by at the blink of an eye...The last couple of days home mission for me, was to go through 2 closets and make piles for the designer label resale store and a bag (s) for the Goodwill. Needless to say, I only got through the guest room closet! I'd rather be stampin' and blogging! Since we have a rainy day today, after my Costco outing and a market run, I will attack another closet! LOL! So that's the plan for today! Hope tp stamp and post later!

This angel stamp is lovely and I wanted her to be the main and only attraction against the pretty blue Bazzill scallop paper. I recently acquired a EKS stamp words, faith being one of them. Copics were used to color the angel and pop dot dimensionals beneath her. Black ink for Faith sentiment (EKS). Prima flower and rhinestone, sheer blue polka dot ribbon-Michael's.

Oh goodie, it's Beate's challenge time! Got to go and check it out! Have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by! Deb

Wonderful angel pins RAK

Happy Wednesday stampers, scrappers & crafters!

Today, I wanted to share with you a special Rak I received...

A very special lady, Paula over at Love Bloom's In Me , was kind enough to send me these darling angel pins she made! IRL they are just precious! She is a Texan gal, and the the angel with the cowboy boots and spurs is just too cute! The other angel shines with her gorgeous bling! Bless you Paula, I will wear these pins close to my heart. Angels bring me such comfort each day of my journey with my illness. I can't thank you enough Paula!
Check out Paula's exceptional (retired Dirty Dozen) cards, she is always sharing the joy of cards and love with her great humor! Hugs, Deb

Surfs Up!

Happy Monday stampers, scrappers & crafters! My grandson's (Bennett) first birthday was a surf themed party, so how cute is this for the little dude hangin' 10 on 1 foot waves?!! I cut the bottom of the paper wavy and adhered to Bazzill green paper. The Woodie is such a California classic! I love it!
Inside the card I wrote: Surf report- Waves are 1 foot and Bennett is hangin' 10! Happy Birthday!
The paper is from NRN Designs. I had the Happy Birthday dimensional stick on, and the stamp surf's up is from an Amuse set I have.
Go catch a wave and enjoy your day! Deb

Beate's WSCS 35

Happy Saturday Stampers, scrappers & crafters!

This week's sketch for Beate's challenge was such a nice one to play with! I was itiching to ink up my new sweet garden angel! I realize that I need many more sentiment stamps than I currently have. So many sentiments came to mind when I made this card, and my printer is out of ink, so I could generate one! Thus, I went into my SU! Happy Harmony set and found this little verse to be just right!

Thanks Beate for another fun weekend sketch!

Pete's Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day stampers, scrappers & crafters!

This card is for my dear husband Pete, it was made with lots of special love! (wink)

My serious illness presents to us daily many challenges on many levels. However, sheer will and determination we try to endure God's plan for us.

Just a little something I wrote, since he (Pete) does float my boat! He he! (smile) Not a poet and I know it, just some thoughts to share...

He keeps our ship afloat, (though sometimes adrift), steady at the helm he sets a due course.

At times his tears are hard to fight off his worst fears, then he'll turn to me and say "Don't worry dear".

The seas may be rough ,and somedays smooth as glass, but our love shall prevail as strong as the mast with wihich we sail.

We will sail the seas from sunrise to sunset, and there will be days we certainly get wet!

So set your sails and go with the wind, just remember to take all in!

I wish to you all a very sweet (chocolate) and a loving day and evening! Cherish the heart felt moments, as they are so precious and dear! Got Kleenex?

Card recipe:

CS- Whisper White -SU!, Red - Bazzill, lace heart-Michael's, Heart stamp-Stampendous.

Happy Friday stampers, scrappers & Crafters!

It has been quite a week for me, not so favorable with regard to my health,therefore, I am so happy to be able to share a card today! What a joy! The picture is not very clear of the sentiment and dotted Stickels below, perhaps if enlarged it would be better, or worse? LOL! (wink)!

I have much catching up to do as best I can, and I missed my every day blog readings! My Google Reader number is overwhelming to catch up with! Over 300! Yikes! Sure adds up quickly when you don't stay on it daily! Lots of creating going on ladies! I love it!
