Sunday October 4th

Would like to share a couple cards with flowers. Then, we will start the fall, halloween themes. I am anxious to show them, as I don't usually do halloween. Lets get started with the Greetery. The die is called the best bouquet. This sat on my table for months. Finally got tired of it being in the way. Isn't it lovely! Had no idea that I would like the stamp this much!

                                        

                                     Used the die for this one.

                                         

                                              Thanks for looking!

October 1st!

 Today is Dougs birthday. Another wow! He is out of town working, and we will have our family celebration when he comes back. So this next post (maybe) has to do with Dougs day. My friend Linda sent me these Waffle flower stamps for my birthday. I wanted to post my idea for them.  Today is perfect as she, Linda, decorated Dougs 1st birthday cake! I am afraid to say how long ago that was! She made little sitting, laying, lazy clowns and balloons. It was sooo cute. Friendships are precious. Lets get started. Thank you Linda!

Best frame ever!!

And so it begins..................

 Wow! again, I am behind. Lets get started, Crafty Meraki Balloon mini-slim line. Miss their designs. She is out of business. 

Waffle flower flower pots and oblong layered dies. WF had gnome dies, like garden gnomies. They would be cute on these cards.

Will add a sentiment when I know where it is landing!

This is for all us 'old-timers'. How long since we used a PSX stamp? They were an all time favorite. 

Have another post for you, stay tuned.

Thanks for looking!

 Edited these yesterday. Everytime I think I might be done, I need to do just one more! This is a 'Happy Birthday' die with the shadow & the 'Birthday' separate. I probably got this from Ali express. 

                   Another way to use your designer paper pads!

                                      Thanks for looking!

 Up early, really early, and almost ready for a nap! Just enough time to share a couple more miscellaneous cards. Lets get started. Sizzix streamers. layered with contrasting colors. Easy to put together.  

                       The halloween themed one is a favorite! Oh, I like the dotted background too. Kind of think it needs 'something' at the top.

                                       Pretty colors here. 

                             Adapted to a horizontal look. Ok!

The next set of cards is from a Stampin' up pattern. And it features designer paper with squares 3 across & 4 down with a 2 1/2" space for your sentiment. 

Love using Dsp. Some have been around awhile, but they are still pretty! I had fun doing these.

 Thanks for looking!

 No surprise here, I am way behind posting again! Lets get started with a few miscellaneous cards that I made over the past month! First cards are a throwback to my vintage/altered cards. Used mostly digital images or collections.  Okay, not digi, but nice slimline die. the foilage is on the left. I filled in foilage in green on the right side. The base is copper cs. And the sentiment is from Simon says. The butterfly is from the arched set from Aall & create. Love to mix and match! 

These are pocket digi (meant for accordian type journal), I needed cards that were not fussy, so hence the alteration. por helena. 

sprayed, ink-blended & stamped card backgrounds.

 Next ones are from Paperbag Studio stamps. Love using things I haven't used in years and years!!

 Thanks for looking today!
