Wednesday Sept. 28th

 Thunder and lightning last night and early this morning. Lucy doesn't want to go out in the rain, but it let  up enough so that she would. That is after she was up a half hour... probably desperate by then! That makes this a perfect time to share some miscellaneous cards. Perfect to start with the little umbrella girls!

                    The next one is a Memory box or Poppystamps die. You cut the 4 pieces 3 times each. That is 12 pieces for each card. Ugh. Hence (is that still a word?), the same color combos.

           One more for today, maybe any day is good for a book, but today is especially nice.  

Found one more to share. This is Hero Arts lighthouse & stencil set.

               Now I need to photograph more or finish more cards.

                                   Thanks for looking!

Monday Sept. 26th

 Good morning to everyone. It is Monday and I have lots to show you, so lets get started! Beginning

Beginning with Honeybee stamps layered stamps. The first is called Lovely layered wildflowers. Playing with the blooms! 

                       Now another 'layering' die from Honeybee stamps. The layering peony.

                                             

                                 This is all for this morning.

                                     Thanks for looking!

Sunday September 25rh

 One more share using Reverse Confetti Top Dog stamps and dies. Yes more, and probably the last, of my 'surfboard' images this year!

                                       

        Wouldn't you just love a day out with these cuties?

                               Thanks for looking!

Saturday Sept 24th

 Can we still surf? I know in Las Vegas we could swim without turning on the heater until Sept. 22nd. But I really want to show you some 'surfin' cards before we get to October!

                        The surfboards, the stripe circle dies, and the large palm tree are in a set from Zoska. The little palm tree die is in her 'Sunglass die set'. The shell border is from Mariannes dies. 

                                          

              Almost any color, any paper, and any configuration! Love these little dies!

                                Thanks so much for looking!

Thursday Sept 22nd

 Another quick 'share' today. I really liked these diamond shaped designs. I think they are from Simon Says Stamps a while ago. I could've have made more designs from them. Maybe soon!

             These first two were left with no sentiment, until I decide who I will send them to. Good ideas for masculine cards.

                       

                     I will try to send a link so you can see just how versatile and how many dies are in the set!

 Perfect, take a look, there are several videos on the site.

                                  Hope you enjoyed today!

Saturday Sept. 17th

 Saturday evening and nothing is on TV. Nothing. So maybe I will just share some cards with you!

                     Oh wait, I think this one is shareworthy! It was busy in our backyard last month. So pretty! I used a mirrorless camera the sony A6000. And, the butterfly was non-stop fluttering, so I think it was pretty good. 

                           Now for the cards.........

The dies are from Crafty Meraki. The blue and red are my favorite!

Possibilites with these dies are endless. I used white paper cut on the red & blue balloons, used just colored paper behind the cut out. These are white cuts too, and inlaid and copic colored. Then backed with black paper. The only one that is 'iffy' was the shaker star. The die cuts a 'close' edge that makes it almost impossible to make a shaker. The shaker has the word Celebrate inside.

                                    Hope you enjoy!
