Festive Friday


So sorry this is a late post. Almost forgot it was Friday and Festive Friday at that! So here is another Christmas Card creation.

I used Whisper White and Chocolate chip card stock. I used Ski Slope Designer Paper and choc chip 1/4 grosgrain ribbon. To add bling to my card I added some chunky white glitter and a white pearl to the large snowflake. I sooo love this card. I'm thinking I should of added choc chip card stock behind the designer paper though. Next time. Enjoy your weekend and keep warm!

Another Christmas Card


Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I have been pretty busy with Thanksgiving, painting our porch and recently feeling sick! Does it ever end? Apparently not. I hope you like this card I created. I used all Stampin' Up! supplies.

You can't see in the photo but I used some crystal effects on the snowflake and in the center of the pointsettas. I used Whisper White, ridinghood red, kiwi kiss cardstock and ski slope designer paper (love this designer paper set) and also my fav the kiwi kiss\very vanilla satin ribbon! Image inked in kiwi kiss and I used the Season of Joy stamp set. Hope you like it! Enjoy your day!

Happy Festive Friday!

Well it's festive Friday, so I thought I would start posting my very own creations! I also wanted to start with Christmas cards so today was the perfect day to begin. I have made up 5 Christmas cards in this set but will post the others later. I also made up a 3-d item so you'll have to check back if you want to see them. This one is my moms favorite. I'm not sure if you can see in the photo that I raised the poinsettia's , after cutting them out, and added felt flowers cut as leaves.
I think it makes it look more interesting! I also love how I added the ribbon!
Happy stampin' and creating!

My oldest - Danielle



This is a pic of my oldest Daughter Danielle .This pic was taken at a cheer competition in Kitchener where they placed 2nd! This was back in March. The London Lynx were a new team. What young and awesome coaches they had. The team is not running this year, due unforeseen family circumstances. Alot of the girls were upset but understand. Danielle is taking the year off. She's thinking of joining gymnastics so she can do better tricks! Well hope you have a great night!
From OWL of us!

Sorry the colors don't show very well because I took the picture this evening- but my daughter needed a card for a friend ( a boy) at school who is moving this Friday. She wanted it to be from all of her friends so we came up with this design. The stamp is retired but I love it! There is a new owl stamp in the catalogue sorta similar. I free handed the limb, but it's just like the one in the new stampin'Up! catalogue. All the card stock is the new vibrant in colors , accept the grey. The DP is Urban Garden. A new DP I just love!!! I will post a few Christmas cards I did up with 1 gift in a day or so , so be sure to check back!

Well Christmas is coming up fast! I'm hardly prepared! Crazy I know to be thinking Christmas already, but it's just around the corner! I know Thanksgiving is coming up too... only a week away. How I love Thanksgiving...I think it's the family time , good food , and great time of year-it's soo beautiful. Oh yeah and the great conversations! I am a little sad that my side of the family is not getting together this year, due to work schedules!! I don't like it one bit! So I look forward to Christmas! With that said here are a few Christmas cards that I cased from my UStamp class. The projects are awesome. I am sad this class is over but happy that Ustamp Holidays will be starting real soon! So I will definitely be prepared!!! I love the quick and easy style to the cards I made up- yet perfect! All supplies used are from Stampin"Up! Hope you have a great evening!

Well I hope this works . I have had a few picks to post but I am unable to post them. So I thought that i would write about a few things first then see if it works, again. I've read on other blogs that they eventually have problems posting pics so they then switch to a new sight. Hopefully that's not the case.
It's been a pretty laid back day. I went for a 5km jog this morning, made a few Christmas cards then relaxed and watched a movie on tv-sisterhood of the traveling pants. Not bad, more for tweens and teens, but ok. Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving supper at our church, right after the service. Can hardly wait to eat Turkey-mmmm. Well it looks like no pics today , sorry!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
