Decorating the Tree...

Happy Saturday!

You know....'that moment' when you finish a card, and you're really REALLY loving it?

I had 'that moment' with this card.  I loved creating this card with these wonderful Great Impressions stamps:

C427 Season's Greetings

H247 Decorating Snowman

Squeeeee....is he not the ca-utest snowman ever?

Wish you could see the sparkle. I used a clear Wink of Stella Brush on all of the snowbanks, lights, bird wing, branches, hat and scarf.

See you next Saturday with another project featuring some fun stamps

Tu Tu Cute...for Christmas!!!

Happy Saturday!

Sheesh...can you believe we are halfway through November?

Yikes!

I'm here today to share a fun Christmas card with you.  I love to use the unexpected in my creations, and today I did just that!  I started with some traditional Christmassy (is that a word?) stamps, and finished up with an Easter image.  Yep, Easter! 

Here's what I made using these Great Impressions stamps:

A150-Birdie

D469 Vintage Merry Christmas

H217 Scalloped Winter Frame

G519 Tu Tu Chicks

This was a lot of fun to do - I smiled while I was coloring this sweet chick!

As you can see, I inked up only one of the chicks, and stamped her in the midst of the beautiful, festive frame. Added some glossy accents, for a bit of holiday shine!

Mabel & Vera ready for Christmas!!!

It's the first Saturday in November, and I'm

wondering where October went?

I don't have a lot of fall stamps, so I'm going to share a very

cute Christmas card with you that I made using these

Great Impressions stamps:

K106-Holiday Vera & Mabel

E883-Oh By Golly

I wish you could see this card with all of its gloss and sparkle! These fun

ladies are ALL decked out for the holidays!  There is bling on their

sweaters and jewelry, and shine on their glasses and shoes!

I think if you click the photo, you can see it a bit larger.

There is a fun sentiment to go with these gals that says

'Deck the Halls with Ugly Sweaters'.  You can find it HERE.

I wasn't sure how much I'd use that sentiment, so I used another 

fun, new sentiment for my card...hope you like it!

Here's a photo taken of the sentiment.

So once again, I have to laugh - these gals are always looking for fun,

just like me and my bestie Shirley do!  When this stamp came out,

we knew we just HAD to go shopping for some ugly sweaters.

We didn't find any ugly sweaters, but we did find some pretty ugly

hats!  Here's a very non-flattering selfie of us (I can't imagine that

one of us would be mean enough to give the other rabbit ears, can you?)

Seasons Greetings!

It's Saturday, and I'm

here to share a pretty card that I made, using these

Great Impressions stamps:

C427-Seasons Greetings

K40-Poinsettias & Berries

I wish you could see this card in real life. I've sponged a gentle faded red around

the image, and it looks so pretty.

I really like the dimension on this. I fussy cut a second poinsettia, and

adhered it with foam squares over top of the main image.

Here's a photo taken from the side.

Happy Holidays!

It's Saturday, and I'm

here to share a creation that I made, using these

Great Impressions stamps:

E817 - Vintage Happy Holidays

H204 Sleigh Ride

I wish you could see the sparkle on this card. There's sparkle on the

sentiment, the trees, and the snow, and it looks so pretty!

This image stopped at the front of the horse, and the back of the sled.

I took a fine point marker, and filled the white panel.

It's hard to see, but the ladies collar, hat, and muff are fuzzy

with Fun Flock!

I really like the way this one turned out!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Saturday!

It's Saturday!

I have a fun card to share with you today, using these

Great Impressions stamps:

D330 Happy Thanksgiving

K102 Harvest Vera and Mable

C484 "Wheelie"

Mable and Vera are the cutest gals ever, and they are

always up to something!  They remind me of my friend, Shirley,

and myself - always looking for a way to have a good time!

Here's my card:

So...am I pushing Shirley in the wheelbarrow, or is she pushing me?

If you go by the blue 'toenails', she's pushing, and I'm riding! 

Here's the inside of the card (since I colored with Copics directly onto my card base,
I needed an inside panel to cover up what bled through):

Frightfully Fun Halloween...

It's Saturday!

Funny how I look forward to weekends, even though I'm retired!

Today, I'm sharing a fun Halloween card using some awesome

stamps from Great Impressions.

For this card, I used:

G432 Spooky Tree

 C405 Frightfully Fun

The moon was masked with a circle punched post it, and several colors of distress ink were sponged onto a white card base. When the mask was removed, the moon was also sponged. There was

nothing left to do but stamp!!!

You've Been Booed!

Happy Saturday!

It's my day to share some Great Impressions fun with you!

I decided to use a cute little ghost today, and I hope

you like him (her?) as much as I do!

For this card, I used:

C455 Halloween Ghost

B236 Booed!

There are little ghosties everywhere!!!

OOPS! I just realized I have a cute teensy orange bow that was to go

in the blank space above the sentiment.  Tee hee... guess

you'll need to use your imagination!

I sure miss having kids at home during the holidays!
