 Just sitting here waiting for family to arrive! It is Thanksgiving evening. This is my first post using my new computer. Thankfully, yes thankfully, you didn't have to listen to my last two weeks of computer  printer woes!! I will look forward to sharing and maybe some upgraded editing for the photos. These cards are easy and done with an easy fold and 'accordion' base. 

                                         

              The snowflake is a die from Elizabeth Craft designs

This is a pretty designer paper from Ciao Bella . And I hadn't made a slimline card for a long time!!

 Thanks for looking & have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

 Good Morning! Awake super early, and again everything keeps crashing, so I am going to try to share some pictures/cards. Not sure if they will be edited well enough, but hopefully you will enjoy. These are simply designer papers from Stamperia. Christmas patchwork.  

             The scallop die is an older spellbinders. I don't have the packaging. I store most dies in Avery Elle or MFT storage envelopes. There are the 6x9 or 5x7 that I use alot. Everything is on a magnet and filed in an envelope in a box with headers like 'grandmas' recipe boxes! Only squares, rectangles, backgrounds, circles, etc: 

                             Don't think the photo box (white on white) showed how pretty this angel print is. Stenciled background.

      Photographed these in a light box and since photoshop is not operable today, please forgive the lack of editing! 

                                                                          Thanks for looking!

Friday Nov. 3rd

 Wow! What a frustrating week! A big sequence of crazy events led me to have to upgrade my computer. Well, I was so comfortable with windows 7. Yes, 7, so it really was time. Never the right time to have to reinstall ALL of my programs. Not to mention my bookmarks are gone....... wah. The good news is, after talking to Adobe for a couple hours, I got most of my files back. Pictures,  pictures, not in folders, paper that took forever to scan. The bad news is facebook and pinterest keep crashing. My mail is still better on my NEW phone. Actually I needed a new printer so when I got this new one, it wasn't compatible with windows 7............ Enough!

            This is really Thursday now! And we will see if we can get these cards posted! There is a huge problem with photoshop now. 

             This a die.

 This is a big die from Crafters Companion. Just vary the papers. Really quick and easy . It is one of the few you will see that actually feature the nativity. 

 Here is another big die. This is the Partridge die from Crafters Companion.  

                         So easy and a square format for a change!

                                         Thanks for looking!
