Sparkling Happy Scenes

Hello  everyone!  I'm home and back on track!   I had a nice visit with my mom and a ton of fun at the Mitchell Community Church Holiday Bazaar in Turlock,CA! It was great seeing old friends and I found some great stuff!  I stocked up on Triple Berry Jam and pumpkin rolls!  I'll share pictures of some of my finds later this week, but today I have a really cute card to share with you!!!  

I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for the background with Crumb Cake card stock.  I inked the raised areas with Soft Suede ink.   For the scene I used the Happy Scenes stamp set and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink on a 2 1/2" X 3" piece of Whisper White card stock.  After it was dry I stamped VersaMark over the top, poured Heat & Stick powder on it and heat embossed it (this makes it sticky).  Then I applied iridescent ice embossing powder and heat embossed it again to make it stick.  It's a BEAUTIFUL affect!  To finish it I cut a window using my Hearth and Home framelits, added some Real Red 1/4" cotton ribbon and a wooden snowflake with a piece of White Jute twine.  I just LOVE this card!   Hope you do too!

Here is a close up of the sparkles!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a FANTASTIC day!   Hope you'll stop by again tomorrow!!!

Baker's Box

Good morning my crafty friends!  I'm headed down the mountain to get a root canal this morning...YUCK...but the alternative (PAIN) is worse!  I will be glad when it's behind me!  

Many of you know I had a scrapbooking retreat this past weekend...it was my last one for 2015!  I had a WONDERFUL group of ladies...we shared lots of laughs, hot flashes, food and lots of COFFEE!  I wanted to share a goody box I gave each one of them...filled with FUN scrapbooking/cardmaking embellishments and ribbons!

Isn't it cute?  It's EASY too!!! Just use your Bakers Box framelits, add some designer paper, some ribbon and an embellishment...VIOLA...a great treat holder or gift box!!

Thanks bunches for stopping by!  I'm rested up and back at it after a weekend of very little sleep!  I hope you have a FANTASTIC day!  Come on back tomorrow to see what I've been up to!

Merry Moments Gift Box

Good morning friends!   I'm busy getting ready for my retreat this weekend...making dip...making salsa...baking and making treat holders!

That brings me to today's project!  This cute box holds a lot of chocolate and will be on their tables when they arrive!!

To make this box you will need a 6 X 12 piece of card stock.  Score it at 2", 5", 7" and 10" in the landscape position.  Turn the paper to the portrait position and score at 1/2" and 10 1/2".  The 1/2" score line is the top of the box.  At the bottom of the box cut all score lines to the 1 1/2" score line.  Fold and use your Tear and Tape adhesive to put it together.  I used Merry Moment 6" X 6" designer paper cut into 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" pieces to decorate.  I also made a cute tag using Mossy Meadow card stock.  I used the Holly Jolly stamp set to heat emboss the snowflakes in white. Tie your bow using 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and Linen Thread to attach you tag.

Thanks for stopping by...I hope to post tomorrow, but it definitely depends on how smooth the morning goes!  

ENJOY your weekend!!!

I put this on my Facebook page, but thought it would make you giggle!

Swap Cards

Hello there!!  I'm so excited!  My computer was having problems and I couldn't download my photos...so it's getting fixed today!   I promised I would post those swap cards and I didn't want to disappoint...then I thought...there's probably a blogger app!!! Viola...there is...and now I'm blogging!! Here are those swap cards I promised!!

The top card was created by Nicolle Belesimo, the middle card by my upline Sarah Wills at sarahsinkspot.com, and the last by Kathy Falk at Red Rock Stamper!  Aren't they great!!! 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Sorry I'm so late!!

Horses!

Here's what I've been up to this weekend!  

My daughter's riding teacher has to move and gave her the horse she has been taking lessons on the past four years!  She is a 32 year old Morgan named Juliette. We are hoping that she'll be with a few more years (or longer).  We put up panels last weekend (there's no such thing as a FREE horse)...and we brought Juliette home yesterday.  Her friend Teddy came too...it's nice to look out my window to see horses!

I'll be here tomorrow with those swap cards I wanted to share with you! ENJOY the rest of your Sunday!
