This is the Birthday Card I made for my Dad for his 70th Birthday. The Tree Stamp is from the "Lovely As A Tree" Stamp Set from Stampin'Up and the Sentiment is from the "Best Yet" Stamp Set from Stampin'Up. The ribbon is from Walmart and I added some green bling for sparkle.

These are miscellaneous cards I have made since last August. One is a Wedding Card for Jamie and Brian's Wedding, another is a baby card and another wedding card I made for someone else to give away.

This is the Christmas Card I made for my DH. This is a technique taught by Gina Krupsky with Stamp TV. The Cardstock is Silver Metallic. I stamped the image with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed the image with silver embossing powder. I love this tone on tone image.

This is a Birthday card I made for a Special Friend with Raspberry Tart DSP from Stampin'Up. I also used the Big Shot Die from Stampin'Up for the sentiment which is a stamp from Inkadinkado. I then added two pink glitter brads for embellishments. See I can use just two brads too, Janie!!! LOL

This is a Birthday card I made for another friend. I cased the recipe for this card from one of my card-making magazines. Again I am using Raspberry Tart DSP from Stampin'Up. The ribbon is a miscellaneous velvet ribbon from my stash. The Sentiment is from the "Friend to Friend" set from Stampin'Up. I also added a green glitter brad and a dew drop to the positive and negative flower punch image. The edge punch is from Stampin'Up.

This is a Birthday Card for my sons 21st Birthday which was this week. It is also my take on the Mojo Monday Week 123 Sketch Challenge. I have not done a sketch challenge in months and months and months!!! So it was fun to complete this challenge. The DSP is all retired Stampin'Up Paper. The Sentiment is from a stamp in the "Heard From The Heart" stamp set from Stampin'Up. The buttons are from my big jar of buttons. I just love buttons!!! The ribbon is from Walmart.

This card is made from retired DSP from Stampin'Up. I added photo corners punched
from Stampin'Ups Corner punch using Yellow Bazzill Cardstock. The Sentiment is from the "Thoughts and Prayers" Stamp Set from Stampin'Up. The ribbon is from the Dollarama and I added Dew Drops.

This card I made for a dear friend whos husband has gone to be with the Lord. This was a card we made at a Card-Making weekend in the Fall when Kim Blanchette and her assistants came down from The Cutting Garden in Hammonds Plains. We had a great day with around 30 women learning new techniques and using new products. This flower is made using the Fleur de Lis from Spellbinders. It was very challenging and I really don't think I will make another one as I have no patience with this type of fussy work. However, with Ruthie and Jane's help, got the card put together and it turned out beautifully. I changed the sentiment to reflect my thoughts to Myra. I added a snowflake brad with a dew drop in the center of the Fleur de Lis.

"Celebrating Gary" - Altered File Folder

This is an Altered File Folder I made for my dear friend, Myra, whose husband Gary is now at home with our Lord and Saviour. I thought this was a great idea to store the many cards, photos, etc. from our celebration of Gary's life. I covered a file folder with Brown Bazzill Cardstock and embellished with DSP from Stampin' Up. Of course I added some buttons and ribbon which I love to use. The sentiments were printed on my computer. I also used two Stampin' Up punches. The ribbon is from Walmart.

Altered Paint Can

This is a "Dad's Emergency Care Kit" altered paint can I made for Shawn for Christmas. I purchased the Paint Can at The Carousel in Dartmouth, N.S. and embellished with various papers, punches, etc. The Sentiment was printed on my computer. Gotta love those buttons!!!

Valentine's Card

This is my version of the Valentine's Card we made at Club 10 this month. My "buckle" is a bit lopsided, however, I again am using the new SU paper which I really love along with the new punch. Added a little heart brad for interest.

Valentine's Gift Bag & Card

This is the cute little Valentine's Gift Bag we made at Club 10 on Tuesday Night at Ruthie's. Had a great time with lots of creativity and chuckles along the way!! I love the new DSP from Stampin' Up called Sending Love Specialty. We also used the two new punches from SU which were great!!!

Hello!!

Just a note to all my friends in Blogland....So sorry that I have not posted anything for four months!!! I could not believe it was that long when I signed-in. Life is crazy to say the least. Just wanted to remind you all of The Living Christmas Tree Presentation being held this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you all there!!! There are still tickets available.
p.s. For all of you who make cards to send to our soldiers serving in Afghanistan....I received a lovely letter from Caleb MacDonald who is in charge of the platoon we sent out last box of cards to. He wanted me to thank you all. The cards were truly appreciated and were gone before they knew it. We sent over 978 cards this time. May God bless you all in your service to Him!!

Merry Christmas!!!
