       Hello crafty people and welcome to my blog. How is your December going so far? The weather here is staying pretty mild but windy which is killing my allergies.

Snowflake Wishes "Memories of Christmas Past" Card - Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Image
     Welcome crafty people. Today I have another fun blog hop to share with you with Stampin' Up! demos from around the world. This month's theme was "Memories of Christmas Past". My one wish each year for as long as I can remember is to wake up Christmas morning and there would be a bunch of snow outside. Well, with living on Southern California that was most likely not to happen, at least not where I grew up. So one year, when I was 12, my parents decided on Christmas Eve to take all our presents and go up to my aunt's house in the mountains. It was so much fun to wake up to the snow, all three feet of it, and play with my cousins. This is the meaning behind my card today.....

Beautiful Autumn Gift Box - Blogging Friends Blog Hop

     Hey crafty people.....I'm back!!! It has been one crazy month. At the end of September my husband was sent to some job training and I came to my parents home to help while my dad has some medical issues looked at. Though I am enjoying being with my family again in California, I'm missing Arizona and my family there like crazy. I hope to be back home soon.      As this is my first blog in over a month I am going to start it off with a special blog hop with several Stampin' Up! demo friends from around the world and our theme this month is "Anything but a card."

Whale Done Thanks Card - CASE the Catalog Friday

I love being a part of blog hops because you get a chance to see projects from Stampin' Up! demos from around the world and all the wonderful ideas they bring.

Then I stamped the outlines on top using Early Espresso and Crumb Cake inks. I glued this layer onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock. I heat embossed my sentiment onto some Mint Macaron cardstock and then die cut it out using the Stitched Nested dies.      Next,  I wrapped some of the Metallic ribbon around the stamped layer and then glued it down to my Thick Whisper White card base. I added my sentiment piece on with Dimensionals and punched

      Hi everyone!!! How are all of you? I can't believe we are on the last week of August. Boy has this year flown by but with the pandemic and all I think a lot of us just want this year to end.

Geared Up Garage Masculine Birthday Card

Image
      Hello crafty people!!! How was your weekend? Well, I didn't get anything done that I wanted because I spent 5 hours on Saturday in the ER with a kidney stone. Let me tell you this is not fun. I've had them before, with both my pregnancy's. Now that's really not fun. They ran all their tests and sent me home with meds and orders to take it easy for a few days. I did, however, get this card done for my brother's birthday this week and here it is.....

Hallows Night Magic Happy Halloween Card - Week 1 of My 13 Weeks of Halloween Wednesday

Image
     Welcome crafty people!!! We are halfway through the week...how has it been? Our weather has been warm, but not like our heat wave last week. I'm a little worried about the big fire in Southern California right now as that is where I grew up and where most of my family still lives. Luckily, unlike 27 years ago, the fire is moving northeast and away from everything. A big thanks to all the firefighting personnel fighting all the fires right now. Please be safe. Let's get onto today's card.....      For the next 13 weeks before Halloween I will be showcasing a fun project here on my blog and that is what I have today. I had so much fun creating this card. My fave holiday is Halloween...I love the decorating, costumes, scary movies, EVERYTHING! For my card I first started by stamping the little spider several times on the three different colors of cardstock. Then I started just randomly cutting them with the Paper Trimmer until I have several strips. I cut a piece of Basic
