Lucy and I

Lucy and I thought we would take a minute to pop in and wish everyone a very Merrry Christmas!  It is sure cold here.  But Lucy is bundled up!  Isn't this a cute little stamp?  I couldn't resist although Lucy would never allow me to put anything on her head. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Merry Christmas Cards

My intention was to post often this season but my plans didn't work out.  So today you get three of my cards I made this year.   Nothing exceptional about any of them but if you have questions, please feel free to ask. The first card is all Stampin Up!, the second one is a stamp from Stampendous and the third a stamp from Penny Black.  I hope you are all ready for Christmas.  I finally am all set to go!  It is a big job, isn't it?    I hope you all have a safe and fun Holiday with family and friends. 

Happy trails to you...

Christmas Cards

My plan was to post every day or at the least once a week to show the cards I  made this Christmas.  Well, the best laid plans certainly didn't pan out!   Here are a couple of new cards.   The penguin is a darling Whimsy stamp that my friend, Bicka has. She was visiting a few weeks ago and I had to stamp a couple.  The puffy stuff is very very old liquid applique.  I was surprised that it still worked.  I colored him with my Copics.  And this one is technically not a Christmas card but I wanted to include it because I think it is so cute.  

The second card is a CASE from someone on Pinterest. I am sorry, I can't remember who it was.  I think I may have made this one before Halloween!  I just loe the colors and the design of it. 

I am wondering if you all got your shopping done?  I have most of mine done but need to pull things out and wrap and see where I can fill in a few holes. 

Oh!  And if you have not read Richard Paul Evans new book, The Noel Diary you must.  It is a story of forgiveness and I believe it is his story.  It is a very quick read but once you start it you can't put it down.   Treat yourself!!

Until next time, happy trails to you!

MAGIC OF THE SEASON

I guess I better start putting up my Christmas cards.  Boy it is coming fast, right?  Seems like last week I was handing out candy to trick or treaters and now Thanksgiving is over and it is on to Christmas.  This is a new set I bought this year from Sunny Studio.  I really liked it.  No coloring just stamping so quick and fast. 

I have almost all of my shopping done.  Now it is time to put my thinking cap on and the hard people are left. 

My good friends, Bicka and her husband Tom came last week to visit.  We had a great time together and Lucy loves to see them come.

Well, it is time to decorate a little so

Until next time, Happy trails to you...

Happy Thanksgiving

Yesterday my Pastor asked if I could make some cards for our shut ins for Thanksgiving.  I told him of course but then my head started to spin with what I could make that would not take too long.  Thanks to a very old Papertrey Ink set and some Nuvo  Drops in Copper Penny I got them all made and set them out today.  Mission accomplished.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Blessed Thanksgiving.  It is my very favorite holiday of the year.

Happy trails to you...

Thanksgiving

I'm finally back.  Been busy here.  And I caught  a cold and have been fighting that.  Finally went to the doctor this morning and she gave me some cough medicine.  Not sleeping is getting old!  She said it is viral Bronchitis.  I have not had that in over 20 years.  I can wait another 20 before getting it again!  LOL  So this card was made using an older Memory Box branch along with some leaves from Impression Obsession.  I popped the fog cardstock up on foam so it stands out from the white base.  I then sprayed it with Glitter Dust from Therm-o-web.  It makes it so sparkly.  I  made two of these and sent them.  One with and one without.  Sure makes a difference!    Looks like a frosty morning with the Glitter Dust.

If anyone reads Joyce Maynard, her newest book is a memoir called The Best of Us.  It is her story about finding love later in life and soon after marrying finds he has pancreatic cancer and their journey through that.  Very well written but terribly sad.  But there were  many laughs as well. 

Until next time, happy trails to you...

BOO

My friend Peggy bought this tree die from Taylored Expressions (I think).  I had the paper and then found these stickers in my stash.  Lightbulb moment.  I really like the way it turned out.  Once in a while my vision comes out like I imagine!

My friend from MA was here all last week and I didn't get a chance to update this.  Been a long time!  Our weather has been perfect.  Here is a video of one of the fun things we did while she was here at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

Until next time, happy trails to you!
