Halloween Wreath

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Hope your weekend is going well.

Miss Bailee got her bath & haircut yesterday and looks great!

I took these pictures of her while sitting outside yesterday afternoon.

I could not get her to look directly at me. I think she knows when you want to take a good picture of her! Little stinker!

She's quite the little ham and just the sweetest dog!

So today I have a card to share that we made from last Saturday's Stamp Day.

This one uses the retired Sparkle of the Season bundle from last year.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sparkle of the Season

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Cottage Gingham DSP

Accessories: Scalloped Contour Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Seasonal Swirls Dies, Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Black Rhinestones (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card was my favorite from all the Halloween cards we made.

I used the cutest saying stamp on the inside that perfectly goes with the pumpkins, bats and the witch's broom on the front! I forgot to take a picture of the inside.

Sparkle of the Season

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a set of holiday cards to share with you using the Sparkle of the Season bundle from the Stampin Up! July - December Mini Catalog.

It's a beautiful set that has a variety of sayings in it and different wreaths.

The wreaths are what caught my eye!

I have been stamping and making cards for 20 years and this has got to be one of the nicest sets around! The wreaths come in a stamp and there is are also diecuts to make wreaths as well. My card lady purchased this set and has already called and asked for more cards using the wreaths!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sparkle of the Season

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock: Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, Tidings of Christmas DSP

Accessories: Seasonal Swirls Dies, Wintry 3D EF, Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Rhinestones (Michael's), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Between the DSP and the wreaths with holly & stars on, they make for some pretty cards for Christmas! I just wish I would have used it more this season.

Thanksgiving Treats

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Another busy day is on tap!

I've got a Stamp Day w/Friends get together this morning then Kelsey is coming over for supper and maybe a trip to Hobby Lobby. She is looking for some Christmas things since she put up her Christmas Tree already! 

Yesterday we were gone all day.

We went down to Maryland to do some shopping. 

We got some Christmas gifts while we were out so that was a plus!

I'm not decorating for Christmas yet as I have Thanksgiving things out since we cook dinner. One year I went right from Halloween to Christmas and I felt like I was missing something! Yep, it was Thanksgiving so I won't skip it again!

Before my day gets crazy I want to share a Thanksgiving Treat I made. I don't have the directions for these to post right now but I will share them tomorrow if you stop back. Very easy to make!

I really love how these turned out and filled them with a bite size Caramel Milky Way and a Twix bar. I wouldn't mind getting one of these for Thanksgiving! Yum!

Project Details:

Stamps: Sparkle of the Season (sentiment), Gorgeous Leaves

Ink: Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Bumble Bee, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Various retired DSP 6x6

Accessories: Intricate Leaves Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Metallic Brushed Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stay tuned tomorrow for the directions!

I hope you like these!

Thankful for You

 Hello & Happy Friday!

A wet, rainy day is on tap here today!

It's the perfect day to do laundry & do some stamping!

Yesterday, Miss Gigi went to the Vet and got a good bill of health but they put her on pain meds for arthritis. The Vet said her coat & her eyes looked really good for a dog her age and the home cooked food is serving her well because her coat is soft & shiny!

Today I have a card to share that I made using the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Such a pretty set!

Card Details:

Stamps: Pretty Pumpkin, Sparkle of the Season

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Versamark

Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Basic White, Bumble Bee, Pumpkin Pie, Gold Foil, Harvest Meadow DSP

Accessories: Ornate Frames Dies, Detailed Pumpkins Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Scalloped Contour Dies, Heat Gun, Clear Embossing Powder, Gold Twine, Gold Rhinestones (Michael's), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The colors I used on this were a bit different for me but in the end I loved it!

My thoughts today...

2 days until Trick or Treat!
