Thank You.....

I always need thank you notes to send to people who do a kindness for me.  I do, however have trouble making them that go through the mail without extra charges.  That is something I really need to work on.  I've noticed at the post office, even if you take a regular size envelope, if it is a little fat...they have this page that has slots on it and they try your envelope through the slots so they can add on extra charges.  I just can't seem to make it through the small slot!  My flowers are just too dang big! 

 

 

So here is my card.  I used some Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies and paper to do this card.  The sentiment is from another company and I am sorry, but I don't remember where it came from.  I used to tear off packaging and just use my stamps not worrying where they came from...bad, bad habit!

 

Well this does it for me today.  It's Monday again and like it or not, we must face the day!  Hope your day is a good one and that you take a moment and just "Breathe"!

Have a Wonderful Birthday.....

 

Good morning everyone!  We have almost made it to another weekend and I for one, am a very happy camper.  Laundry is done, house work is done and I'm ready to play!  This morning I'm here to share with you another card I have made for Heartfelt Creations.  Blogger is giving me problems this morning...not wanting me to upload a picture so I've had to make a trip around the world in order to get this to upload to my blog.  I'm hopeful this works..

 

If you would like to have the products used and the instructions for this card just go on over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog and everything is listed there.  While you are there, have a look around at what the other designers have posted.  There is some wonderful inspiration there!

 

Well that is it for me this morning.  I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend.

WOYWW #187

 

Good morning everyone and welcome to WOYWW!  I'm starting 2013 with a clean slate and I'm trying to do some organizing in my craft room to  make my space a little more user friendly.  I found an old cd case and decided it would make a wonderful storage for my Pro Markers.  I don't do very well with markers but have several and you can't use them if they are not where you can get to them.  I just slid cd cases into the slots and divided my markers somewhat in the color ranges.  I'm working on the long cd storage unit and it will also hold some markers that are just thrown into a bin and some new Spectrum Noir markers that I'm treating myself to as a belated Christmas Gift.  I had some already and purchased some on EBay at a greatly reduced price but still brand new.  I will probably take out the cardboard dividers and just use empty cd cases to separate that unit too. 

 

Most of you who follow me know what WOYWW is but if you just can't figure out what the heck this stands for it is "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.  Julia Dunnit is the creator of this madness and you can visit her blog here:  Stamping Ground

We all take a picture of our desk and post it to our blogs and then go to Julia's blog and link it.  Then we can visit each other's desks and see what is going on in our own little worlds.  Now I'm off to visit as many desks as I can.  I seldom get around to everyone's desk but I do try.  Have a wonderful day!

New Year's Eve.....

As this year is winding down, I want to take a moment and tell you how very much you mean to me!  This has been a very hard year for me in a lot of ways, with lots of changes in my life.  But it has also been a good year too.  I have learned some good lessons along the way and feel that I have grown as a person.  We just never know what curve balls life is going to throw our way but I guess the key is to just keep moving.  I've always felt lthat a moving target is harder to hit!  My goal for the new year is to try and be more creative and to practice what I preach.  I'm always telling you to "Breathe" and this year I want to give that a try .

I appreciate each and every one of my followers and your faithful visits mean so much.  Your comments are so dear to me.  Thank you again for being there. 

Now I want to share a box I altered for a Christmas gift to my daughter.

 

I found this jewelry box on clearance with a big scratch along the back.  I loved the shape of the box and the fact there was a window top to it.  Other than the scratch, the box was perfect; so I just had to have it.  So I made flowers to cover the scratch and it made a wonderful gift for my daughter for Christmas. 

 

That's it for me this morning.  I'm still trying to get my house back in shape after the holiday rush. 

I hope you have wonderful New Year's Eve plans and that your holiday is a safe one.  Be sure and come back to visit on Wednesday as it will be Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!

Welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!

It is the day after Christmas and we are all winding down trying to get back on track.  The packages are gone from under the tree and the house is quiet once again.  I woke to wind and rain as a cold front is moving through.  So many people all around us are having severe weather, and I feel very lucky to live where I do and to just have the rain....people to the South of me are experiencing severe storms and to the North of me, there is snow. 

So I'm here to share with you a card I have made for Heartfelt Creations. 

 

 



 

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3497 Script Aster Background PreCut Set

HCPC 3494 Delicate Asters PreCut Set

HCD 726 Delicate Asters Die

Other Supplies: Spellbinders dies (Floral Ovals, Romantic Rectangles, Fancy Lattice, Venetian Motifs), glue, glitter, clear acrylic spray, Paper Blossoms tool kit, Canson watercolor paper, Memento Ink, Paper Studios  Sticky Doos

Instructions:  Card Size 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"

Make card base and then cut out the rectangle die and glue to the card base.  Next I stamped and cut out the leaves and swirls and also cut out the lattice; I applied glue to these items and then sprinkled glitter over them and allowed to dry.  When dry, I sprayed with the acrylic to keep the glitter from coming off my project.  Next I stamped and cut out the flower petals and shaped them the way I wanted them to look and glued them together.  Now I glue the lattice piece to my card base.  I stamped the sentiment and cut out using the ovals die and attached it with sticky doos over the lattice. Now comes the fun part; decide where you want the flowers and leaves and swirls to go and glue them down.  Your card is now finished.

Today there are some beautiful creations featured over on the Heartfelt Creations blog.  You should go have a little visit and look around.  And as always, you can visit each of the designer's blogs by clicking on their names on the right hand side of my blog.  We all love hearing from you so if you visit, leave us a comment!
