Nancy Drew #6

 I should have labeled all my Nancy Drew posts with the number of the book...but I didn't and now I am out of numerical sequence. LOL! Oh well, I don't think anyone is going to know anyways!

Today's card is inspired by the book The Secret of Red Gate Farm which is #6 in the series of Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. I am playing along with Christy's challenge at Snapdragon Stamps.

I went with a cow because in one scene Nancy tries milking a cow. I didn't realize Christy's card was with a cow also...too funny! Anyways, making this card made me happy! I used SU!'s Over the Moon. I embossed  Mossy Meadow Two Tone cardstock with the Pressed Flowers EF. I thought maybe it looked like some yummy grass or clover for the cow. The DSP piece is from Beautiful Gallery. I added it all to a Old Olive card base. I added a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots because I was thinking of dewy clover or grass sparkling in the sunlight.

I made the same card switching to a Basic Black card base and I added the yellow Sparkle Dots.

Happy Stamping!

Warm Hugs

Today's card uses some old and new products.

 I used the new Stay Warm stamp set and stamped the sweater with Blackberry Bliss ink onto Highland Heather cardstock. I used the new Lights of Aurora DSP for the circle background  and the strips which I embossed with an old, but well loved Darice snowflake EF. The extra little snowflakes and the sentiment are from the Snowflake Kisses bundle. I finished the card with a few Faceted Snowflakes. 

Last week we were glamping...had a fabulous time over in Eastern Washington, Western Idaho. This week we have watched our granddaughter, Autumn, age 2-1/2 years, Monday through Friday...all day. She spent two nights. It's been great but I am tired! I'm actually surprised I finished a card! LOL!

I'm playing along with The Paper Players #752 sketch this week.

Happy Stamping!

Just a Note

 Happy Saturday! Hope y'all have a fun weekend ahead. Here's today's card:

As promised this is the first card I made using the CASE-ing Tuesday #525 sketch. You can see the second card I made using this sketch here.

I used the Floral Delight DSP, the Everyday Arches dies, the Weekend Adventures stamp set for my florals and the sentiment came from Beautiful Motifs.  

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!

Hello

 Today's card...

I'm squeaking it in for this week's Paper Players #750 color challenge. 

I used a piece of the Painterly Pears DSP on my Mossy Meadow card base. My squares are Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the pear from Perfectly Pears in Cherry Cobbler and the leaf in Old Olive. I added some green twine to my sentiment label.

This was my second attempt at the CASE-ing Tuesday sketch. I'll share my first attempt tomorrow. 😉

Happy Stamping!

To Someone Special

 Today's card makes me happy with its bright primary colors and the sweet fur baby at the center!

I'm using the sketch from the Inky Paws Challenge #243 at Newton's Nook Designs.

I used NND Birthday Party paper on my red card base. I used the Smitten Kittens stamp set and dies and the sentiment is from Birthday Oval. It all came together rather quickly and I'll be making two more with the rest of the paper! Yea! Three birthday cards ready to go! 

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!

Ahoy!

 Long time no blogging...life happens! It's all good though just busy with camping, grandkids, a baby shower and a son's birthday! 

Here's a card I made last night.

I used the Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge #642.

I flipped it but kept the sentiment on the bottom because, you know, crafty girls do what they want. 😉

My card base is Secret Sea with a Cloud Cover mat. My three pieces are from Everyday Skies DSP.  The sailboat is Berry Burst. I used the Sunrise Sailing bundle. The little embellishments are the Hues of Blue Flowers but I thought they made nice stars!

I used the Sunrise Sailing bundle and made quite a few table favors for my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower. The theme was "Ahoy! It's a BOY!" Here's one of the favors. I filled them with salt water taffy.

But the big hit of the party was the "shark" my husband carved out of a watermelon! 😅

And here's my lovely family I am blessed to have. (Hubby wasn't there when this photo was taken).

Happy Stamping, Friends!
