Saturday

Trust me, it has been a busy month! Had a health issue, family company, and that crazy puppy Lucy! Dawn was awesome support and of course, Al always is wonderful. Speaking of Lucy lets do a 'cuteness' update. Last Thursday she got the rest of her puppy shots. She was 11.2 pounds. In the morning she is soooo sweet, but after dinner she goes wild. Yup, puppy time!! She was nuts about Dawn!

Okay now I will feature a couple cards using the Stamping Bella stamps. Pretty appropriate for this post.

Thanks for looking!

Saturday Blues

Yes, we have more blues! These are Christmas blues. It might seem a little late, but when you need 100's it helps to make them all year. This is a Stampendous stamp set with the snowflake stamps and 2 snowflake dies. I found it at Tuesday morning. Easy card! Maybe I will try it in lavendar next time.

Thanks for looking!

Its a blue Sunday

Okay, its a 'blue' Sunday, whatever that means. Today its overcast, but not real cold. To honor some of the freezing people on the east coast, I will just say it is 'blue'! It is just an excuse to feature my Blue China paper pack. I know, I've done cards with this before, but stay with me here, this is a Heartfelt creations book base. It is the reason I bought 2 packages of this paper! Got lots left....

The cover is understated. Just liked the paper. The images below feature 2 gift bags. One of the bags is flat, on has box-like sides. Both could hold a 51/2" card.

Inside cover and a pocket page/pull out page one

This is Zoie. It was july, and in august we lost her. He legs just gave out. I didn't realize it till now that I really didn't finish the last pockets in the book.

The flap on the right side pulls up and the pages spread out. Really pretty! Here are some more recent cards with the Blue China paper. The 'lacey' paper is in the package.
