Another Valentine

Hey Ya'll! Quick post today to show you this valentine made using a pre-cut card base. The sentiment is from a previous card that I never used, and the stick pin I made myself. I cut the little pennant by hand and stamped on it. Oh, I also sprayed it with glimmer mist, and stamped and colored on the envelope! Thanks for looking!

Supplies- Bird: Martha Stewart punch, Sentiment: Cricut "Straight From The Nest".

Raking the Leaves?!

Hello everyone! I'm back with another Fall card for you. No pumpkins this time! Remember when you were young and Mom or Dad sent you outside to rake leaves? I know I always did alot less raking and alot more playing,hiding, jumping into the leaves than was probably allowed! That is what inspired this card. That and something I saw on Pinterest. Here in Alabama we are still in the Fall season. The leaves are just starting to turn color and fall. Some are still green and growing! I know some of you have already had your first snowfall, and if you know me than you know how I miss the snow. That's another season that I really love. I guess because I grew up in it for part of my childhood and have many fond memories of sleding, ice skating, snowman making, etc. I would most likly dread it now that I am an adult and would have to deal with the other aspects of winter in the North! Anyhoo, I hope you are not too busy getting ready for Thankgiving to enjoy the Fall while it lasts! I'll be back tomorrow to share one last Autunm/Fall/Thanksgiving card with you. Thanks for looking!

Supplies- Maple leaves: Give a Hoot, Oak and small leaves: Straight from the Nest,Stamping on leaves: Stampin' Up "Gently Falling" set, Face: Studio 112 "Expressions", Inside leaf: Tim Holtz Sizzix "Tattered Leaves" die, Sentiments: Rub-ons from my stash.

Belated Mother's Day

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day, and now that it's over I can post these last two cards. This first one was made for my Mother. I got the idea from the March issue of Cardmaker magazine. I bought this issue because it had so many flower embellishments in it. I used pinking shears on the edges of my mat and did some sewing. The "flowers" were made using Spirelli(string art), and I added buttons to the centers. Added a vintage seam binding bow and stamped a tiny tag. The inside sentiment was computer generated.

Supplies: Cardstock- Stampin' Up, Paper- October Afternoon,Modern Homemaker 8x8 pad, Disk for flowers- Mother's Day Bouquet, Sunburst flower. This second card was made for my Daughter who is forever washing clothes! With a Husband and two boys there are alot of dirty clothes! So, with that in mind , here's a basket full of dirty laundry and clean ones on the line. The sentiments inside and out were computer generated, and the washing machine was an altered stove cut done on my Gypsy. Thanks for looking!

Supplies: Paper- October Afternoon, Modern Homemaker, Clothes on line- Country Life and Straight From the Nest, Basket- Everyday Paper Dolls, Washing machine- From My Kitchen (stove cut)
