In the Garden

 49 and Market has some very delicate laser cut elements in their collections and this one is one of them, I was hand delivering this one to my girlfriend so it worked out ok to pop it up with foam dots and not worry about the mail crushing it.

• 49 and Market - Krafty Garden 6x8 paper pack, Krafty Garden Mini Laser Cut elements (flowers and butterfly)
• Stickles - Shabby Shutters on Flower centers

I think the close up shows more of how delicate the stems are.

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

Autumn

 I hadn't used this embossing folder in quite some time and I thought I would make it into an Autumn tree, coloring it with markers and adding a stamped Autumn display with it too.

• Darcie - Leafy tree embossing folder, colored w/markers
• Penny Black - Fall Fence stamp set, colored w/markers

I would like to share my card today with these Challenges:

Birdie Birthday

 Feels like it has been awhile since I used one of my bird dies and since I hadn't used any for my hubby's nieces birthday card yet I thought it was about time :)

I cut my bird from pieces I had done on my gelli plate, the branches I added a little extra ink and the sentiment sticker was silver so I added a little blue pen to go with the flowers.

• Simon Says stamps - Layered Chickadee die (papers from gelli plate print)
• Memory Box - Fresh Foliage die
• Craft Smith - Seaglass paper
• Ecstasy crafts - Happy Birthday silver sticker colored w/blue marker

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, Have a great week!

Beautiful Day

 Last month I had gone to JoAnns store to see if they had anything new in stock and they were having a sale on card making things.  I saw this set of ephemera and thought it was so pretty so I picked it up, Wellll obviously I thought it was a nice pack before because when I came home and went to put it away I already had the set. So the next on my list to make a card for was my friend here in town so I decided I needed to make something with the set and this is the card I came up with.

• American Crafts - Art Journaling Ephemera (Vellum flower and Vellum script)
• P13 - Secret Garden Paper (behind flower)
• Ribbon from Advent Calendar
• Queen & Co. - Twinkle Goose bumps
• Tim Holtz - Metallic sentiment sticker

As you may have noticed one of the Gems in the corner that was supposed to hide the glue I used to hold on the vellum fell off, luckily I did notice while putting it into the envelope for her and so it was on when giving it to her, I just didn't take new pictures.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say hi,

In the Meadow

I have been on vacation since September 23rd and we were quite busy driving and exploring, when we would make it back to the hotel I was so exhausted I couldn't see straight, I was able I think 2 times to get on and try and catch up on everyone's blogs, I am almost caught up, I think only a couple days behind now :)  If I get the time maybe I will share some pics of our time out in Montana and places between here and there :)

 Sharing another card with 49 and market goodies.

• 49 and Market - 6x8 Curators Meadow paper, Curator Meadow Laser cut elements and Curators meadow rub on transfers for Sentiment
