Thankful Thoughts

When I saw this die and the corners I immediately saw this card in my head.
I'd like to wish all of the US a Happy Thanksgiving
and the rest of the world to stop and remember all that you have to be thankful for.
This is one holiday the whole world can celebrate 
their blessings and the blessings of a bountiful harvest.
The wreath and acorns are from my montthly die kit from Sillhouette and
the gorgeous corners are from Joy Crafts.
The papers are Co'Ordination
I used Tim Holtz Disstress Inks and Momento inks to add color to the cut-outs.
The lovely organza sheer ribbon was from my stash
 and seemed to fit perfectly with the rust  tones.

I'll be entering this card into several challenges.

I used mahogany color for the background frame.
Then I cut the grass layers from avocado green stitched "hills"  R'collections.
The little flowers were punched as were the leaves around them.  The centers are Nuovo
 Crystal Drops - Ripened Pumpkin

The stamp set is Sunflower Dreams

Happy Birthday - Yummy Treat

My brother-in-law's birthday was in August.  
I did get his card to him but have been down in health so get ready because here come a few none challenge cards.

My brother-in-law is in construction but I'd done enough work related cards and then I remembered he has a strong yen for ice cream.
I purchased this digi image from "The Paper Shelter".  If you haven't been there you really need to.
This was how it came out (trying to keep it for a man).


He loved it and immediately told my Sister to get in the car so they could go get ice cream.

Card Recipe:
Kraft colored card
Polka dots from R'collections
Fuchsia, pink and white glimmer sequins.

It was a fun card to create.

I would suggest you start with something smaller until you get the technique down.
Other than that it fun and easy and could even be decorated.

New Home Welcome



My daughter recently moved into a "new home" (meaning different)
It's in the Historical District and it was built in 1920.
It's a beautiful little home with archway room entries and a fireplace.
I'm sure they'll love making new memories there.
 

It just so happened that one of my magazines had an offer of "Hunkydory" side step cards.  
This worked out perfect for me to make her a "Welcoming" card,
It was also a surprise to the family.

Anything Goes Somewhere over the rainbow

Anything Goes Somewhere over the rainbow

Ike's Challenges have become "Anything Goes" with a twist.  It's fun to fit the twist in.

In my inspiration I knew immediately what I wanted to do.  
I used "Godshill" with a rainbow.


 The latest trend seems to be using acetate in our cardmaking.  I thought this would make an interesting card an hopefully inspire you to try acetate on a card.  

Recipe:
Rainbow ink pad used on Tim Holtz watercolor paper.
I printed the "Godshill" image on to the acetate and Ta Da one pretty and quick card.

I chose to use some beautiful cherry blossoms after a favorite flower discussion.  




I kept it very simple and easy to mail in case I decide on the perfect occasions.  
Please join in this challenge and show us your flower card.

Back in Ike's World

It's time for "Challenge #83"
This will run from Feb 28 - Mar 14
Anything goes with an optional "focal sentiment"

I once again use one of her beautiful "Butterflies"
We have flowers blooming here in Florida and it's feeling like Spring.


I decided to use my new Prisma pencils this time.   I've been waiting to give them a go since I bought them.
The tulips were embossed and fussy cut then colored.  I debated coloring the bakground and the trial one I did made that look less airy so I opted for just the tulips.  The butterfly was also colored with pencils.

We'd love to have you join us in this challenge.  Color your beautiful Ike's image and join us.

Please leave me some love so  know you visited.

This is dedicated to my closest friends.

I hope you like it.  I think it's very emotional even if it is simplistic.

Happy 13th Birthday!!

My one and only granddaughter turned 13 over the weekend!!
I wanted to create her something special and after much contemplation
I decided that a grown up "Dress Card" would be perfect.


I thought it would be fun to use the term "Teen Years" instead of 13.
It's a special time in a young lady's life.
I hope she enjoyed the card as much as I did making it for her.

Aud's Sentiments Challenge #173

Challenge will run Feb 9-20
Theme: Valentines/Love Sentiment

I chose to create a design that just wanted to come out of my mind.
Out it came and this is the result


I used a Darice Embossing Folder for the background added my Red and White heart punch
The "ribbon" effect is created with a scrap of red paper and a Martha Stewart Punch out.
I've had the metal heart for well over 15 years so don't even think about asking where it came from...IDKS
The Happy Valentine Day stamp was one I got out of the JoAnn $1 bin + stamped in red and embossed.
I hope you like it and will come up with something simple yet elegant on your own.  This is merely an idea of what can happen when you open up that pandora's box.  Love to see yours.

Please leave me some love letting me know if you like my creations.  It's always wonderful to hear.
Til the next challenge:  ~AngeL Hugs
