computer has been down

sorry for not posting sooner, My computer has been having a mind of its own-it will be going in for reapairs in the next week so I will be out of touch again. I have been busy getting ready for the holidays wiht making lots of cards and trying to make a few gifts. Work has been busy and he cold weather is starting to settle in (I'm NOT a cold weather person!! The cats are all doing well and enjoy it tons when I have my crafting things out for them to play with. Stay tuned, I'll be posting some new creations soon,,,,

MIsc pictures

The next picture is of me and my Dear friend Jenny, We have so much fun together!, We go places to take pictures, chat lots, scrapbook together and lots more! The picture was also taken at Memory grove.

Memory grove is only about 5 or so blocks from where I live and such a fun peaceful area, I love this shot and its hard to believe looking at this pictures and the sernity of it that it is only abot 3 or so blocks from the middle of Salt Lake City Downtown.

more cards

Yet another Penny black stamp, I love this one and it reminds me of my lazy cats, I used scraps of paper from the scrap pile, odd ball silk flowers that were leftovers from another project and snagged the background stamp from another close to my heart set.
THe birthday cat was fun and I snagged the saying from a wedding set, figuring "it's your day" can pertain to birthdays too! I'm trying to combine my supplies to see how many ways I can use them. I had so much fun with these cat stamps! More will be posting soon.

Kitty cards and the Fair

I think it is safe to say I'm in Love wiht Penny Black's cat stamps, Oh so cute, the first one always makes me smile, such a cheerful cat, this stamp works in so many ways, I snagged the background stamp from a close to my heart set.

The second card is another Penny Black stamp and oh so many uses, I made this one for a friend who has been a true angel and also made it for my boss who does charity work for the human society and placed the saying "Pets are angels with fur!" I also snagged the small star for the background from another close to my heart set.

More Red and Gold cards

Ok by now you've probably have figured out I really do have alot of Red Paper, Gold Thread and Beads, They have been in my stash for a long time and since I did the tree cards, alot of people have been asking me for more ideas in this color combo-it's a great way to use things up as well.
Using Another lasting impression stenical I made the "funky tree", I received the Dove pattern form a great lady in New York- Darsie Bruno (BTW she has the Best sewing patterns ever!!) and the candles are from a beginner book-all were fun to do and I thnk I am officialy stocked up in this combo-16 candles and 13 each of the other designs.

Here is my tree card, I am excited about this one because I was recently challenged to find something in my stash and be creative with it!.So since I love to sew my cards and I love dry embossing figured I could mix the both of them..I used Lasting impressions stenical L9441, Red paper that was going to be thrown out from someone else, gold thread that has been in my stash forever and beads I forgot I have..so there goes..scraps to a fun card! BTw.. I founf that my dry embossing stenicals work great for sewing templates as well!!
