Thankful For YOU Special at GKD!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!  I know I enjoyed cooking/baking and we had just a wonderful day.  My parents came down from Virginia and we really enjoyed our time together.  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and love all of the great left-overs :o)

It sure makes dinner easy for tonight, lol! 

I wanted to share this CAS card I made using Melanie's A Year of Borders stamp set.  I needed several thank you cards on hand and these were quick to put together.  Just stamped the leaf border, used a label from Lovely Labels 2, and the sentiment is from Fanciful Tags.

 

I wanted to let you know about this great Thanksgiving weekend sale happening over at Gina K Designs!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Beauty of the Season

You know how sometimes you start with a sketch and then...well, it just goes awry and no longer fits a sketch challenge...well, you are looking at one :o)  I tried creating a card for last week's Sketch Challenge over on SCS and by the time I was finished it no longer resembled the sketch at all, lol!  For this card,  I used some Basic Grey Jovial patterned paper and a label from Lovely Labels 2.  The sentiment is from Festive Frame. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and pray you have a wonderful day!

Lovely Labels 2: Christmas

Graphic 45 meets Lovely Labels 2.... Have you seen the new Graphic 45 patterned paper for Christmas, oh my!  The sentiment for this is from Vintage Borders.  I rounded the edges of the layered piece, but kept the card base itself plain.  This would be a nice and simple design for Christmas cards minus the ribbon if you are wanting to save on postage (which I will be, lol!)

**Just to clarify on the zip line from my post yesterday.  I should have explained it better.  We were on the zip line for 1 1/2 - 2 hours going from perch to perch (much like a bird), not zipping constantly for one long zip line.  I don't think I could handle that, blah!  Here is a picture of us cabling down from the last perch.  My youngest is watching for his brother with me:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

Lovely Labels 2: Congratulations

Today I have a card to share that I made last week for a dear friend who is expecting!!!! I wanted to post it right when I made it, but wanted to make sure it was public knowledge first ;o)  There is nothing more joyous than the expectation of a new baby and I am so very excited for this dear family.

I made this card using Lovely Labels 2 and Webster's Pages patterned paper.  Love that baby carriage and just had to add an extra butterfly.  On the sentiment label,  I stamped the musical score from Vintage Borders.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a beautiful day!

Moxie Fab Challenge: All Wrapped Up

 I wanted to share some tags I made for the All Wrapped Up Challenge on the Moxie Fab Blog. I used Lovely Labels 2 and the big snowflake from Blessed is the Season to make these Christmas tags. Each Christmas I tend to use Kraft based wrapped paper for our gift giving and these will work perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!

CP84 ~ Just a Note

The Card Patterns sketch this week is a fun one and I went right to my stash of Webster's Pages.  I added the doily image from Nana's Needlework and the Just a Note label is from Lovely Labels 2. Can you tell I like these new labels?   I stamped the label onto a scrap of Webster's Pages and tied a bow with some Navy Organdy ribbon.  I hope to be back a little later with some sneak peeks I created using some of the soon to be released Layers of Color stamps...  Oh my...and that is ALL I can say :o)

Thanks for stopping by!

STV Color Challenge

I made this for Janice's Color Challenge over on Stamp TV this week.  The colors are In the Navy, Pumpkin Spice, Ivory and a bit of Chocolate Brown (the ribbon).  I used the new Lovely Labels 2 (don't you just love labels that match up with Spellbinders dies....Oh my, I do!)  I also used Vintage Backgrounds and Vintage Borders to  create a background and the sentiment is from Elegant Verses.  The edges were distressed a bit and sponged with Tea Dye Distress ink.  This sentiment means so much when you consider what the Bible teaches about our countenance....

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a beautiful day!

Lovely Labels 2

Vicki over on Stamp TV has a great sketch this week and you can find more details HERE to play along.  For my card,  I used some Graphic 45 Christmas Past patterned paper that my dear BFF Linda surprised me with for my birthday back in August (isn't it a beautiful pattern...oh my,...it is actually hard to cut into, lol!).  I stamped the label (from Lovely Labels 2) directly on the patterned paper and used the reverse side of the patterned paper to layer on Soft Sand/Chocolate Brown card base.  The verse is from Vintage Borders and a favorite to use on Christmas cards.   I am thinking this will be one of the cards I made this year.  I like to make a nice assortment having layered ones to give out personally and more CAS designs for mailing (with some exceptions, lol!)

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have wonderful start to a new week!

CP83: Lovely Labels 2

I have a card to share using the newest set from Nina: Lovely Labels 2. So stoked about this set...I love anything matching up with Spellbinders dies and these labels are so COOL!  This time I did a first for me....used digi-paper: Vintage Basics Paper Pack also designed by Nina.  So easy to use even for a computer/printer challenged person like me, lol!  For this card I used the sketch from Card Patterns one of my favorite color combos: Brown/Green.  I have an exciting announcement to share tomorrow :o)  I haven't hinted because I am NOT good at keeping secrets, lol!
Have a great day!
Blessings,

Lovely Labels 2

I am just so excited about this new set from Nina Brackett: Lovely Labels 2!  I knew immediately one of the first things I wanted to make was a label for a package of autumn colored M&M's!  Aren't M&M's just better when they are in the seasonal colors?  I put them in one of the nifty clear boxes, wrapped with ribbon and attached a stamped label.  The label was stamped with a spectrum pad to give a cool variance of color.  Just perfect and oh so easy!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
