Sweet Tilda

Hello...

I made this card..which is called the Brick Wall card...for a STSB sister. I love how she turned out. I used SU red cardstock...GinaK luxury white to stamp Sweet Tilda on and then I cut it into lil' brick-like shapes. Then put it back together like a brick wall pattern. I spritzed the big flower in the upper rt hand corner with Red Velver G. MIst..added the smaller deep red Prima and a gem. On the bottom lt hand corner I used a white prima I dusted the edges with SU Red Riding Hood ink...and a deep red prima. Added small pearls to the center of them. USed a Tim HOltz Memo Pin holding a SU Mini tag stamped with the word *friends*. Used a red gingham ribbon to adorn the corners and tye in the upper rt hand corner. I LOVE how it turned out...

Christmas has come and gone

HELLO to all...

Well ...the holidays were NOT as bad as they could have been. I was not into them at all after last year's incident.  :(  I just did not want anything to do with them...but as it turned out...they were fair. I still miss my lil' guys...more than words can say...but know they are in my heart and Mammaw thinks of them each and everyday. LOVE YA , Xavier, Ian and Landen. 

I rec'vd some nice things as well...DH bought me a new Maytag Bravo washer and dryer...delivery is TUESDAY...woo hoo. I'm soo anxious...lol...i know you are probably thinking over a washer and dryer...housework...but it's the truth. My dryer was dying and was a noisey machine...to have quiet...and to do laundry at any time of the day....What a blessing! He also gave me Nike shoes, a snuggie..and a sherpa blanket...soo warm. ANd yummy peanut dark choc. M&Ms. 

One of my best friends, Missy...sent me two solutions carts...Thanksgiving and the Christmas cards...LOVE them both...thanks BFF!

DD and her roommate gave me a $50 M's gift card and MIL/FIL gave me a $25 M's gift card.. Not too shabby..eh? I can't wait to spend them...lol

All in all...great year and soo much to be blessed  and grateful for!
XOXOXO

Creative Ideas

Hello to all...

Here are a few items I have made...altered for a swap I was just in called 12 Days of Christmas on the CMB. I love how they turned out and hope that my SS does as well.


I used a canvas board..sprayed with Pashmina glimmer mist. CUt the words from my Cricut E  and glued them where I wanted them. Sprayed over the words! ONce dry..I lefted the words off. THEN..I had a heart in the upper rt hand corner. I used  Tim HOltz age mahgoney crackle paint on it..added a grunge flower and prima swirl.  On the lower lt hand corner...I added grunged flowers spritzed with glimmer mist , ran a hand-crocheted ribbon thru the center loop and made the ends look ruffled. Added more flowers with pearl centers. I LOVE how it turned out..



I altered this pocket planner in my SS fav color...purple. IT did turn out quiet nice..even though I'm NOT a purple person...tee hhhe.  I used the paper from  M's the ribbon is grosgrain and the small flowers are prima..a variety. Added pearls to the center . THe large purple flower is sugared in the center...then cut her monogram out on the Cricut using the Storybook cart.

THANKS for looking...leave some love!

Winter is REALLY here!!!

Hello to all~~~

This morning I woke to a blanket of white on the ground. The sad part is ~~it is still coming down! YUCK!!!! It is like a lite and airy pillow fight...lots of them blowing around. i do admit...it's pretty..but I still do not like it. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...that is all I can think of....once I get cold ...I stay cold. BRING on the Spring weather. IF you are out and about, driving in this ...please be careful...drive safe.

I plan to do some crafting today. I have a couple of swaps that need loose ends finished and it's a great day for it. DH is out deer hunting..yes in the snow...I hope he catches the deer and not PNEUMONIA!!!
