September 11th

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today is September 11th.

A day that many will always remember as a sad day from 2001.

It started out as a beautiful day, brilliant blue skies & lots of sunshine. I was doing my weekly chores when the Today Show had Breaking News. As the day went on, it from worse to horrible. No one could ever imagine this happening but it was unfolding infront of our eyes on national tv.  

So many lives lost.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

I have a set of cards to share today that is part of a card order for my customer.

She is on a cruise this week to Bermuda. Her boat is to dock this Friday in Baltimore. 

With this week's Hurricane Florence coming....i'm not sure what is going to happen.

I just pray she is safe!!

She asked for something with apples on for this time of year.

This is what I made for her.

I just had to use the Basket Weave EF to make it look like picking apples and putting into a basket. I know my card does not look like that but that's the thought that came into my head as I was thinking about making this. I love the look of this Basket Weave Embossing Folder. It's a very deep impression. I used a small piece of October Afternoon paper that has been in my stash for years.

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Real Red, Very Vanilla, October Afternoon Paper

Accessories: Stitched Seasons Framelits, Basket Weave EF, Silver Paper Clip & Metallic Enamel Dots, Old Olive 1/8 Ribbon, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love when things come together so easily!

Thinking of You

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope everyone on the east coast is handling this Nor'easter ok!

What I seen on the news last evening was horrible. 

Flooding, snowing and those darn winds!

I don't think in my 51 years that I have ever heard wind like I did yesterday! It howled and blew all day & night! Still windy this morning but not quite as bad. 

Yes, I am more than ready for Spring!

Busy morning here as my doggies are off to Doggy Day Spa and we are going to run a few errands while they are getting prettied up! After that I have to give Ryan a haircut then get some laundry done. Haven't even thought yet what we are having for supper tonight! LOL

So today I have a quick set of cards to share that were made for my customer.

She sends out lots & lots of Thinking of You cards!

Isn't this set pretty?

My customer wanted something with hearts on and I found this paper in an old pack from SU. 

Makes me happy to use it up!

Cardstock: Rose Red, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Love Blossoms DSP

Happy Birthday Card Set

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Halfway thru the week! 

I have been getting some crafting time in this week since my hubby went back to work.

Yesterday I was rooting thru a bunch of old papers that are not Stampin Up.

I found this 12 X 12 pad of K&Company paper called Berry Sweet and it's filled with lots of bright summery colors & images. I always say, I need to use this stuff up and today I used a whole sheet of it to make this set of cards....

Take a look!

When I first spotted this sheet of paper I thought it had cherries on but come to find out it is apples & cherries. Had it been all cherries....I would have had the perfect sentiment for these cards! 

I also have to say that I matched this paper with a sheet of Lemon Lime Twist which is a new In Color for Stampin Up! It's very bright!

Happy Birthday Card Set:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, K&Company Berry Sweet 

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Corner Rounder Punch, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so much fun to whip up and happy to use up another sheet of patterned paper!

Only 2 million sheets to go! LOL
