So Grateful for You

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Woke up to some frost on the roofs this morning and some cold temps!

I really am not ready for cold weather. I like the temps sunny & 70 degrees! I noticed yesterday the colors of the trees changing. Not very vibrant but they are changing and soon it will be time to get out and start raking (even though we do not have a single tree in our yard).

Today I am sharing a quick Thanksgiving card I made recently with the beautiful Harvest Glow DSP that was the September 2026 Product of the Month. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Soiree Salutations

Ink: Golden Glow, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Golden Glow, Basic Beige, Harvest Glow Specialty DSP (Sept POM)

Accessories: Gathering Leaves EF (retired), Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Square Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Golden Glow In Color Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That DSP is gorgeous with it's Fall patterns and added shimmer on each sheet!

I love how this one turned out!

Well, that is all for me today!

Going to go see what I can get into today! LOL The sun is shining and it is slowly warming up. Shawn is going to mow and do a few other chores today. I may end up at my stamp table if nothing comes up!

Wild Bunch

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for an order recently. They asked for a highland cow and sunflowers for a Thank You card. Well, it's a good thing Stampin Up! just brought out the Product of the Month for June as it is loaded with a wild bunch! LOL It included a highland cow which was so fun to color! I paired my cow with some sunflower paper from Hobby Lobby...

Sunday I started picking at a puzzle for something to do while giving my hands a bit of rest. I still have over half of it to complete. It's a Christmas puzzle because that is all I have on hand right now. I'm sure it will be finished in time for Christmas in July when that starts next week on the Hallmark Channel!

Berry Botanical Vellum Birthday

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

We are still socked into the rainy, dreary weather here in PA.

Yesterday it was just a miserable day. I'm hoping today we can atleast sneak a quick walk in!

My card that I am sharing today is one that I loved making! I used a few of Stampin Up!'s Product of the Month items...

Card Details:

Stamps: Scalloped Blooms

Ink: Blueberry Bushel

Cardstock: Strawberry Slush (In Color), Golden Glow (New In Color), Basic White, Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty DSP (May 2026 Product of the Month)

Accessories: Everyday Arches Dies, Eyelet Blooms Die (April 2026 Product of the Month), Golden Glow Ribbon & In Color Dots (New In Color), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Berry Botanical Vellum is quite pretty and I am trying to find some ways to use it. I think it feels thicker or heavier than normal vellum is. I seen so many great cards made with it so far! I hope some inspiration rubs off on me! LOL

Flowers Fair

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

The weekend is upon us and it's going to be a beautiful day & a warm weekend ahead!

Lots on our agenda this weekend like power washing both porches and then getting the summer furniture out. I also need to hit the local greenhouse to get some flowers! I am so looking forward to dressing up my porches with some pretty flowers! I also picked up another American flag as mine has seen better days!

Anyways, today I have a pretty card to share with you made with the Online Exclusives set called Flowers Fair. I first saw lots of beautiful cards made with it from Patty Bennett. Oh, her coloring is outstanding and so vibrant! I am not all that great at coloring or blending but I tried my hand at coloring this big image and felt I did ok. I chose some spring time colors like Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party & Granny Apple Green and went to town!

Card Details:

Stamps: Flowers Fair (Online Exclusives), Fabulous Sayings (January 2026 Product of the Month)

Ink: Memento Black, Flirty Flamingo, Stampin Blends- Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Pool Party Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This image is just gorgeous in any color combination and I enjoyed coloring it!

Hopefully the next card I make with this stamp I can do it some justice! LOL

Everything Is Rosy Friend Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I have made the decision to stop buying anything new for awhile and use what is in my stash. I have SO much great stuff that deserves to be used!

 Today's card uses a retired bundle called Everything is Rosy. Do you remember it?

Card Details:

Stamps: Everything Is Rosy Medley (retired 2019 ), Unbounded Love (retired Sentiment), Fabulous Sayings (Inside- Jan 2026 Product of the Month)

Ink: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Basic White, Rose Gold Foil Paper, Everything Is Rosy Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Everything Is Rosy Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The focal image panel and floral images were printed diecuts that came with the DSP. I seem to always forget to use them. I love the patterns in the DSP plus it has the Rose Gold Foil splashed throughout it! So pretty!

Fabulous Sayings

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

So sorry for the late update today....I am under the weather and trying to rest as much as possible. Yesterday I had a headache most of the day which ibuprofen did nothing for me. I even napped in the afternoon. We ran up to the restaurant for a quick supper. It was raining and just the dreariest day! Our neighbor up the street (Mr. Bob) came into the restaurant and sat with us. He goes into the restaurant every day and we have gotten to know him thru Kelsey. We had a good conversation with him, ate and then we headed home. I was back in bed by 7:30. Before I went to bed I filled up my humidifer and took some sinus medicine. I slept so long and today I am just taking it easy. Our weather is still rainy, foggy & so dreary! I will take the rain any day over snow though! So, Miss Bailee is hanging by my side while I sit on the loveseat typing this. She knows I am not feeling 100%. 

Today I am sharing cards with you that I made with January's Stampin Up! Product of the Month stamp set....Fabulous Sayings. It is loaded with some amazing sentiments and I felt it would be used quite a bit in my collection. I made a set of Happy Birthday cards with it and paired it with the Painterly Pears DSP from the Online Exclusives.

Card Details:

Stamps: Fabulous Sayings (Product of the Month January 2026)

Ink: Secret Sea

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Basic White, Secret Sea, Painterly Pears DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Forever Plaid EF, Eyelet 3D EF, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Mossy Meadow/Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Low Profile Sparkle Dots (Online Exclusives), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how these cards turned out! I put these aside in my bins for now! Not sure how long they will stick around though! Great colors & papers make for pretty cards!
