That is it for today, I hope you all enjoy a nice weekend, we have two days above freezing and then back to the cold that most of use will have next week.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Thank you

 My sister sent me a package with a bunch of goodies she didn't want from her craft stash and I made a Thank you card for her using them.  I took these pictures with my phone camera and I don't know that I like them as well as using my point and shoot camera.


Sorry I forgot to write down the name of the paper pack, popped up one of the snowflakes. She gave me a bunch of these cute little candy canes and the thank you is stickers that have silver glitter on them :)


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

 When we were back home to see family this past October, all the kids in the family had games that they were playing on their different systems and so I remembered this die I have and thought it would be perfect for my great nephew.

  • Spectrum noir - metallic markers on the controller
  • We R Memory keepers - For the record papers

Gnome Girls

 When we went on vacation to Montana this past September I saw these stickers that were gnome girls, I don't always see gnome girls and I thought they might be cute for girl cards, so I picked them up. I have been waiting to post until I had looked through my pictures to see what I might like to post of the trip with them and I looked at a few so far and decided to post a few with the card.


  • Dover Publications - Garden Gnome stickers
  • Carta Bella - Alphabet Junction Papers
  • Spellbinders - Labels 23 dies
  • Sentiment from a papercraft magazine
  • Confetti is left overs from die cuts


Now onto Montana pictures, like I said these are from late September, I think I will have more but I have more cards I made from things picked up on the trip so I will post more pictures then.

I am starting off with a drive along Spearfish Canyon in this first photo when you come around this bend there is a pull off and we didn't realize at first that we would be able to see Mount Rushmore from it, neat surprise :) Can you make out their faces?





We really enjoyed this walk they had a long the river.







I thought this was a cool look to this last plant, like how it curls in all direction, it made me wonder what it looked like in the summer time or when it was in full bloom before Autumn time hit it, let me know if you recognize it.


Well that is all for now,
Praying for all those effected once again by these terrible fires out west, and hope all stay safe from here south who are getting more snow/ice once again, we had just finally finished getting all the ice off our walks and driveway and now we have another 3 inches to take care of, that will probably feel so much easier after the last ice/snow we had to deal with :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Best Ever

 Today's card is using another Graphic Fairy image. I actually started collecting these digital images if there comes a time when I can't see well to color anymore I could still make cards. Well they are so pretty I have had a hard time not using them now :) I found these washi border tapes on Amazon, it has a look of burnt edge to them, I couldn't resist and picked them up.


  • Graphic Fairy - Digital image
  • 49 and market - 12x12 In the leaves paper, In the leaves foliage PVC die cut(leaf) and Wishing bubbles and trinkets (sentiment, leaf and dots)
  • PPD - Wavy stitched rectangle
  • Amazon - Washi tape


They are having a rough time trying to clean up the roads with all the ice and snow and the temperatures are so cold nothing is melting, so schools are closed again, stores have limited hours of opening and we have had no mail or deliveries happening, no garbage pick up, it is just quiet out there, so strange.  Luckily we had done our grocery shopping a few days before everything hit, and hubby has a desk job so he can work from home when needed.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
