Showing GRATITUDE!

Hello again everyone! Today I would like

to share a gift idea with you! I will be

attending an early Thanksgiving dinner this weekend

with my family and wanted to take something nice to

give the cook! lol (My fiancé's mom prepares most
of the food for our dinner.) This year will be very

special for me because I get to have both sides of
my family in one place! Since we haven't been "home" (PA)
in quite sometime, my soon-to-be mother in law invited my side

of the family to her house this Sunday to celebrate with all
of us. This way we could spend time with everyone! It is hard

to visit everyone you love in a very short amount of time
 so I thought this was very gracious of her to do for me
It will take some of the stress out of trying to fine
enough time in a "four day weekend" to see everyone!

I decided to take her a bottle of NC wine and I wanted
to fancy it up a bit with a wine bottle tag! I read a short
 article about the effect of contrast so I thought I would give
that a try in my project as well. I thought the black/white
contrast really made Mary's sentiment POP! I think the font
she used to make this sentiment is very classy too.
It just really describes in ONE word how I feel about what
this family dinner on Sunday will bring for me! It has been
over a year since I have seen some of them so as you can
imagine I really looking forward to it! :)

 

Supplies Used:

SU! French Foliage stamp set

My Time Made Easy-Over the Top SVG

CARDZ TV "Many Thanks" stamp set

 

So what are some things you are
GRATEFUL for? This would be a great
time to pull out or purchase this stamp set
and make a gift for someone you would like
to show your GRATITUDE towards! :)
Hopefully I have inspired you today!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Prima tag

Last week I made a free 'make at take' at our local

scrapbook store in Greensboro, NC ~ Betty's Creative Studio.

Prima Ambassador Tara Nixon Cox was there demoing on

 "Prima Day"! She had various products there for us to try such

as their infamous flowers, glitter, stencils and transparent mat gel!

She gave us the option of making a card or 12 inch watercolor tag.

I was very pleased with how my project turned out so I wanted to

 share it with all of you! If you click on the actual picture above you

can see a much crisper view of the tag. I am still trying to figure
out why I can't get my pictures to be more clear in the actual post
anymore. If anyone has any advice and would like to leave me a
message I would be very appreciative! Thanks so much!

 

Enjoy your week!

Halloween paperscape

 

 

 

Hey everybody! Hope you are all keeping warm!

The weather has been getting much cooler over the past

few days...some areas have even gotten some snow flurries!

I had warm thoughts in mind as I created this 3D paperscape

by Dreaming Tree! It was so much fun to make, but very hard to

capture well in pictures because the tealights kept causing

shadows. haha! The box card folds flat and also has a matching

envelope so it can be mailed! Mary's stamp set went so nicely with

this scene. There is also another sentiment in this set

 that I thought would go great with it as well! "Scaredy Cat!" :)

Mine, however, is being displayed on my mantle and stands

about 12" tall!

 

 

Supplies Used:

Dreaming Tree Black Cat Halloween Paperscape Box Card

Creative Memories paper pack (N/A)

Creative Memories pumpkins punch out (N/A)

Cardz TV Frankly Frightful stamp set

 



 

Wishing you all a blessed day!

My first pocket letter!

Hello everyone...sorry it's been so long since my last past but since then we have

moved and I have been watching my grandson a lot while his parents are at work.

I also work full-time so my time has been very limited! :)

Soooo....pocket letters seem to be all the new rage and

of course I just had to get it on it! haha! I joined a swap

in Facebook with a Friends theme and here was my take on it:

 

I apologize for the picture not being very crisp or clear but I am in the process of getting a new camera as well! I dropped my phone and busted the camera lens so now the quality of my pictures have been very poor. :( I used mostly My Creative Time products which I LOVE! :) She has such great stamps and die sets! I'm such a such a sucker for DIES!!! :) The embellishment in the middle is from a Darcie's kit! At any rate, I had a lot of fun making it and hope you enjoy it too!

 

I guess I did not make this pocket letter they way they were intended but I did put a few goodies in the back. I have done a little research and now I understand a little more of the story behind making them and what to include in the next one...

 

I hope you all have A FANTASTIC DAY!

SU! Berry basket die and cardstock

Once again to save time I used the Cricut Explore Print then Cut
 feature which never disappoints even without the 3D effect.
It's a great feature to use when you're short on time which
I seem to be lately between work, taking care of my 3
 year old, and helping out with my 6 month old grandson!
Wouldn't change it for the world though! :)
