Let me begin with telling you I am not ready for this weather!  We had a lovely few days and now tomorrow is supposed to be colder and rain.  The dreary rainy/snowy gray days are just no fun!!  But spring is on the way - Or at least in my head. 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I meant to get on here with a card and the time just got away from me.  So thought I would post a winter card before I start with Christmas cards.  

Until next time... happy trails to you...

For the Bishop

So this morning my pastor emailed me and asked me to send a card to our new Bishop.  Sometimes he throws me a challenge and this one was a big one.  So I knew pretty quickly that I wanted to use my church die on it.  So that was my jumping off point and this is the end result.  I am pretty happy with it and I even surprised myself a little. 

In keeping with sending pictures of our trip, here we are going over the Niagara Falls. Didn't think we would do it, did ya?  LOL 

Until next time, happy trails to you!

BELIEVE IN THE KINDNESS OF OTHERS

I bought this new sentiment stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the possibilities are endless!  I teamed it up with the BeLeafMe stamp set and then stamped it all in Versamark and sprinkled gold fine detailed embossing powder over it.  Then after heat setting I used my Distress Inks and a dauber to color in the leaves.  I then fussy cut them out and attached them to the card.  Lastly I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins to the front. 

Just finished reading Damaged by Lisa Scottoline.  Excellent if you are in search of a new book. 

Fall is finally here.  The leaves are falling fast and the temperatures are falling  It is only 51 degrees here now.  I dread winter and all it stands for.  Cooped up inside, gray skies for day and weeks on end, bone chilling temperatures, shoveling and the list goes on and on. 

Ok now that I have gotten that off of my chest I feel better.  So until next time,  Happy trails to you!

Thinking Of You

 

The first picture is of a card I made months ago.  I was practicing my blending with distress inks at the time.  I really like how it came out.  The flowers are from a PTI set called Life.  I really like them in silhouette form.  I hope you like it.  

The second picture is another from our trip.  Love the reflection on the water.  The trees were amazing!  

Until next time, happy trails to you...
