Hi,
This Sympathy card was made for a very old and dear friend. She was 88 and we have been friends a long time. Her daughter and family have also been long time good friends. It is always sad to lose a loved one but especially at this time of the year. I am sure she will be watching over us all this season and enjoying all the festivities.
Have a Blessed day.

Emboidered flower card

Hi,

This is a card posted just for my cyber friend Beth N. just to prove I can do something without snow!! haha

I have to share this bit of stuff with all of you who read my blog. I am so excited about a gorgeous gift I received today from a total stranger (for now) who lives in the UK. A dear friend of mine was in England and Scotland this past month visiting her aunt and other family members. Her aunt is into cards too. This lovely lady, Dorothy, sent me 2 card making magazines with lovely inserts of card material. Some wonderful peel offs, that I have not seen in my travels here in Canada. I was deeply touched by her wonderful generosity and am just dying to get into the books and try some of the creations in there.

Have a Blessed day.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus

Hi,

Mr. and Mrs. Claus are beginning to show their age.

Some 40 years ago when my daughter was only 2 we lived in a rather isolated spot and with not much else to do I decided to make some Christmas decorations with what I had on hand.

The base of Mr. and Mrs. Claus is made from old Reader's Digest magazines (they were much thicker in those days). Folded and spray painted red.

Their arms were made of felt, as were their hats and stuffed with cotton.

The leather mitts were just glued together and stuffed with more cotton.

The wire spectacles were fashioned by my father from old wire.

The lace on Mrs. Claus dress came from an old wedding dress.

Over the years they have both lost their leather boots, but they have travelled many miles and have seen several new homes in different provinces.

Hope you like my little trip to the past.

Have a Blessed day.

Winter Wonderland

Hi,

Here is the BIG Christmas card for this year.

Blue cardstock is 8.5 " x 11 " folded in half.

The card is a step pop up card.

Glitzy white paper makes the snow.

Cricut Potpourri cartridge makes the trees and the little stars come from the Snowflake punch. The little snowman was a peel off and colored with water colors.

Seasons Greetings was stamped on the base with silver ink and embossed with clear embossing powder but doesn't show up very well. Will have to invest in some white ink. lol

Stickles dot the card for bling. Hope you like my card. Hope I have managed to enter the blog for the S/D #20.

Have a Blessed day.

Penguin and Igloo Christmas Card

Hi,

These two little guys seemed just right for my 2 step-grandsons.

The card stock is white with an igloo drawn on and cut out.

The two little penguins are made with fun felt as is the snow. I had great fun cutting these little guys out. Note the date, but I am a bit behind for this year. lol

Have a Blessed day.

Sleigh Christmas Card

Hi,

One more glitzy blue and white card.

The white card stock size is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 layered with blue glitzy paper.

Embossing done with Snowflake folder.

Sleigh and city outline done on the Cricut with the Potpourri cartridge and attached with pop ups.

Stars are the bits from the edge punch Snowflakes.

Today I am off to try something a bit more ambitious with glitter paper and the Cricut.

I have just realized we are getting that much closer to Christmas and I must really get something done.

Hope you like my card.

Have a Blessed day.
