Back in October my friend, Elly, from the UK and I designed an advent calendar using a 24 cup mini muffin pan. During December I will share one of the squares, with a brief desciption of each.
You will want to open each post, as there will be a little treat behind each one! Some days it might be some virtual ‘candy’ or sweeties as we call them in the UK, other times it might be a card, 3D project or a video!
We’ve 4 granddaughters, all of whom live with their parents in the UK so we don’t get to see them as much as we would like.
Granddaughter # 2 celebrated her 5th birthday in October and I thought the “Fairy Celebration’ stamp set would be perfect for her card.
We have a few more days for the on-line extravaganza – click the picture above and it will take right to the goodies that are on sale – get a start of your Christmas shopping!
When the holiday catalog came out at the beginning of September it was just full of products that I knew I could not do without! I am always attracted to flowers and have to really control myself from choosing those over other designs.
The Petals and Paisleys suite of products is kind of flowery but they aren’t true flowers and I did resist them for a while but I gave in and over the last few days I have shared a number of projects using these products and I have just one more to share.

Frame Art, Samplers…. call them what you will – I just love to design and create these little vignettes out of card, ink and embellishments. This is the fourth in a series I have designed and offered as classes to my lovely ladies.
As today is ThanksgivingI thought I would share this one with you…………………….
Today is the eve of Thanksgiving here in the USA. Until I came to the States just over 15 years ago it was not a holiday I was familiar with, but over the years I have learned the meaning of the day and what it represents.
Falling in the autumn also means using the lovely rich tones that I love so much. Many years ago my mother and I had our colors ‘analysed’ she was deemed to be a ‘Green Autumn’ and I was a ‘Golden Autumn’ ~ so I have used golden autumn colors in my card today. Continue reading

It is Halloween 2016 – can hardly believe we are about to start the last 2 months on 2016 ~ where did the year go? – It is hard to think of Halloween as it is still in the high 80’s F (low 30’s in C) here in North Texas! but time to share another seasonal card.
The trick and treater’s did not visit us over the weekend so I think we will be busy this evening ——- I have my witches hat and broom already!

This is Halloween weekend – although it is hard to think of Halloween when it is in the high 80’s F (low 30’s in C) here in North Texas! but time to share a seasonal card.
Since the 31st is a Monday I am not sure when the trick and treaters will be around in our neighbourhood but I am ready with the candy in case they come before Monday!
Earlier this month my husband celebrated a milestone birthday, he is my best friend, the father to two beautiful boys and Grandpa to 4 of the sweetest little granddaughters. He also has the patience of a saint, never says a word when he comes home from work and there is a houseful of ladies stampin’ cuttin’ and stickin’. Bits of glitter and backs of dimensionals on the floor don’t phase him and will happily stand there manning a craft fair booth all day!
So this special fella deserves a special card…………………
