The Season is Almost Here!!!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, but it is time to start thinking Christmas and  the joys of card making. This is an oldie but goody. The reindeer stamp from Hero Arts remains popular this year.

I hope like me, you are pulling out your holiday stamps, papers and embellishments and going through them to start on your cards.

I am definitely taking time from school to  get into my studio and be creative. I hope you do the same.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope you are blessed with good food, family and friends today.

After today I am back to school work. I will post when I can.

Friends and Togetherness

This Thanksgiving card was inspired by a card I saw when I was blog hopping. I loved the simplicity of the card. Something you all know I struggle with.

The good friend I sent it to will love the simple classic monochrome of this card.

I hope you all enjoy it also.

Holiday Card for Fun!

I finished my school work early and decided to just play for fun. I made this whimsical holiday card with the new Hero Arts / Sizzix stamp die combo set. This  is the "Holiday Cheer" set I got from Simon Says Stamp. Loving this set!!

It is not to late to sign up for Jennifer Maguire's online Holiday card classes beginning tomorrow. I have taken her last 2 classes and learned so much.

Oh yeah, just for the record, all the time I have spent on my first class paid off. I got an A!!!!!

See you all soon and be creative!

Happy Snowy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!

It snowed in southeastern Pa. yesterday!  I look out one window in my studio and I see a green apple tree and think it is summer, I look out my second window and I see a yard covered in snow! How weird is that!!!!

I have been taking  a few hours off from school work each week to stamp. Got to or I will be nutso. Here are some Halloween cards I made.

Here is Mr. George's card. He is a sucker (no pun intended) for the cutesy cards. If I had seen a teddy bear vampire stamp he would have loved it.

Lastly this is the card I made for Memory Box. It has the coolest  opening. Please go to MB's Outside the Box for a tutorial on how to make this card.

Take care, be creative and i will see you again soon,

 

Back to School

I have been a poor blogger and will probably be one for the next 2 1/2 years. I have started back to school for my Bachelor's degree in nursing. It has been over 30 years since I have been in school!

Not sure what to expect, but so far my first class- Philosophy of Nursing is a lot of work. 6-8 chapters to read each week. Papers to write. My first paper took me all day Saturday to write! I still have 2 more to write. George tells me it will get easier. I sure hope so.

I did realize that to keep my sanity I must keep on creating. That means finding the time to fit in my stamping. I have decided to get up early on Saturdays and give myself 2 hours to be artistic.

My hats go off to all you students!

I will see you all when I can!
