Sending Love

 Fri-yay! November 29, 2024

Today's card came together using some leftover strips from  A Little Bit Festive DSP.

I'm using this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #664.

My sketch is descending in the opposite direction. I may have had a little snip out of that center strip.😉 But who will ever know! I stamped a sentiment from Lovely & Sweet onto a sweet little stitched label from SU!'s Mixed Labels dies which is coming January 7 as an Online Exclusive. I finished it with a few gold hearts and some gold twisted thread.

We had this little one earlier this week. She and her great grandma were reading Christmas books. Isn't that the sweetest?!

Happy Stamping!

Season of Fun

 Thursday, November 28, 2024

Happy Thanksgiving! We will be celebrating with our kiddos tomorrow. Today is a quiet day. I have done some food preparation but everyone is bringing food so it isn't bad at all. 

I made today's card with a December birthday in mind but I'm not sure I'll use it for a birthday.

I had to ink up and color in that sweet little gal from SU! Seasons of Fun! I'm playing along with The Paper Players Challenge #717

Yesterday on our moring walk we saw some elk. We have a lot of elk in our area...they kind of rotatilled our recently planted wheat field. 😒 We looked up and there they were. Look closely! Of course it was a foggy morining and they blend in so well with the environment!

Happy Stamping!

Humble Home

 Monday, November 25, 2024

I had two cards I had made with SU!'s Humble Home bundle. I just realized I already licked the envelope to one of them. Ugh! The more elaborate one too! It was a fun fold which was kind of fun but I don't do them often and have no plans to make another one any time soon!  Anyways, here's today's card using the Humble Home bundle:

I noticed on a few videos that everyone stamps the house differently. I won't go into detail but I always punch a template for my builder punches. I stamped the door and windows separately and used the punch for the windows and fussy cut the door. The punch also punches out a dot. One person said it was for the door knob. Maybe??? but I think its a bit big for a door knob. I thought it was for making a tag! LOL! Who knows! Obviously there are multiple ways to use this bundle and crafty people do what they want! LOL!

The Farmer and I spent last week at the beach! We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary which is truly a miracle. God is gracious and has blessed our marriage is all I can say. We actually had some very nice weather while we were there.

Now it is on to the holidays!

Happy Stamping!

Merry Camper

 Thursday, November 21, 2024

Today's card was my second attempt to get a CAS for this week's Paper Players challenge.

And here is the challenge

I used Newton's Nook Designs Christmas Campers stamp set and colored that cute little camper in using SU! Blends in Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Smoky Slate. The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy. I covered the Basic Beige card base with a  piece of Country Lace DSP.

I'll also enter this at Inspire.Create Challenge #181 where they are looking for Christmas!

Happy Stamping!

Missing You!

 Tuesday, November 19, 2024

Today's card was a fun one to make. Sweet and simple.

I used the sketch from Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #234. 

 
My sweet little kitten is from Captivated Kittens as well as the sentiment. The little butterfly is from Spring Haul. Both stamps sets from Newton's Nook Designs. That cute strip of polka dots is from NND Bright Basics Paper Pack.

Happy Stamping!

You are Amazing!

Happy Fri-yay! Oh my! Today is a busy day. We are going to have the 2-1/2 year old granddaughter which wasn't planned but is totally fine. It's just that I have a few little commitments that we are just going to work around. We'll see how it goes! 

Today's card is all orange. LOL!

I don't use a lot of orange but this just kind of came to be what it is. I used SU!'s Autumn to Remember for those orange trees and the sentiment is from Sentimental Park. I used the Fern EF. Orange you glad I made this card?!

Happy Stamping and have a great weekend!

A Little Coffee

 Thursday, November 14, 2024

Today's card uses another fun array of colors!

My color inspiration came from the Retro Rubber #243 Challenge.

I used SU!'s Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Orchid Oasis and Tahitian Tide. I used a stamp from Newton's Nook Designs called Heartfelt Coffee and it is a year old.  I had fun coloring those cute mugs!  I used this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

Challenges are hard for me. LOL! I overthink them...

Happy Stamping!
