                                      all the Fall colors of the fruit, 
                             vegetable and flowers.

Happy Lion?


                                      Maybe he's not happy because he 
                                      really tried to write but ended up
                         stamping instead.    LOL
                                                                                       

Desk with globe and books


                         I love this image that someone sent me.    I
                 wish I could have found out who made the
                 stamp before she gave it away.

Fly Fly away



                            Go faster..  they are after us.   LOL    Love
                   this stamp.    Just had to add the two hats,
                   the mask on the kitty and the verse.

Another Halloween card



                      This is an easy card to make.     The house is
               one big stamp.    I only had to add the words.
               It's one of my favorite stamp for Halloween.

Halloween doesn't have to be scary


                 Decided since it's almost September I'd better get
            started on Halloween cards plus I joined a challenge
            for the letter H or Halloween this week.    I seldom 
            send out cards for this holiday since so many people                     don't care for this holiday.

Die, Folder and Stamp



This is rather light to see but it's a beautiful light green cardstock.

I used Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder with tiger lilies at the bottom.    It's the only 3D embossing folder that I have in my collection. 

For my die I used "Thinking of You ...." from Dee's Distinctively.
Only problem I had with this die is I kept losing one of the dots above the i's.   LOL

Inside I used the same color cardstock with a long verse saying thanks.     I wished I had the same color ink as the cardstock but I didn't so I just used black.

Attached bookmark

   
             This is the bookmark that is attached to the inside
              of the single rose card.    It is perforated so easy
              to remove and use it.

Bookmark card


This is a bookmark card.    The bookmark is attached to the inside right side of the card and will be scanned next.     The outside stamp is one I use a lot.    Made 4 of these cards and each one has a different colored rose.

Punched flowers




This is a much busier card than I usual make.    Also first time I used a very small punch to make each pedal of the flower.    Next time I need to make the flowers ends curl a little better.    The leaves is also a punch, I believe, that was sent to me from my friend Deloris. Not sure I like the busy die background for this card.

Birthday card

 
A birthday card made up ahead of time.    I added crystal lacquer to the green rope and the flowers just to add depth to the card.

Flowers... again!


Flowers again!    Bet you can't tell by looking at my blog that I DO love flower stamps.    Because this stamp only covers one side and the top..  you can use any verse on the front..  birthday, sympathy, thinking of you, thank you..  etc etc.  

These last few cards were made in the past months when I wasn't on my blog.     In fact when I got on my blog this morning I had to refresh my memory as what to do next.    LOL  

Fun in the Sun


Oh what fun you can have in the sun.    When I saw this lady and the verse on the right.. I had to have it.

The pond is from A La Art.   The lady from Rubber Baby.    Life verse from Impression Obsession and Chunky Dunk verse from My Paper Moon.

White with one color


Not a good picture.   Always hard for me to scan something that is 3D.   This card is all white but I added silver butterflies and silver beads to the card.    I used the words on from from Impression Obsession.    There are 7 verses in the package.   The background is Swiss Dots.

Flowers in Kerr jar


Haven't posted in a few months.    Flowers are always my favorite cards.    I saw this image and it reminded me of when my Mother canned for the winter (the Kerr jar).

Snow on Christmas


We don't see this anymore since we moved to Florida over 24 years ago.    I don't miss the snow and ice at all but do think about it on the holidays.    I remember the kids playing on their sleds and building snowmen (they are adults now) and coming in to sit by the fireplace afterwards to warm up.     Ahhhh   good memories!

Gardening


Makes you feel good when you go inside after a day of gardening.
Stamp is from Stamps Happen.

Birthday card


This stamp is from Stampendous. 

Sympathy


This simple card is perfect for a sympathy card.   The stamp is from Rubber Monger.

Flowers Along Sidewalk


Walking along the sidewalk is even more fun when you see flowers growing along the way.

Basket of Flowers

 This basket of flowers stamp is from PSX.    

Jars of Wild Flowers


You don't have to have beautiful vases to make your room look and smell good.   This stamp is from Inkadinkado. 

Beautiful Hummingbird


Hummingbirds are to tiny and beautiful.   We watched them outside our dining room window.    Just had to buy this stamp from Inkadinkado.     As you will notice from my cards...  I do love all flowers stamps.

Have a nice ride

Another beautiful sunny day here in Florida.    What could be better than taking flowers to a friend on my bike.

Oh, the Memories





This is exactly what I wore in the 50's.    My brothers girlfriend bought me a red skirt with a white poodle on it.    Everyone wore gray and white saddle shoes too (school colors was cherry and gray).    Oh what fun days they were.  The gal is from Just For Fun.

Stampin' Gal




I'm going to stamp with my friends.    This lady is one of many from Loralie Designs.

Heart






Decided to make this Valentine card in purples (one of my favorite colors) rather than the usual red and pinks.     This stamp is from Me & Carrie Lou.

Buzzin' for you






This big stamp is from Judith.    I just had to add the verse on top (from the Peddlers Pack) and the words Buzz around it.    Sometimes I stamp the bee house on cork but this one was stamped on brown cardstock.

Friendship and Wine





This is probably one of my most used stamps.    It's from PSX and can be used for anything and anyone.    I use crystal lacquer to make each grape pop.

Need to relax






Come on over and I'll get another glass out so we can relax after a hard day at work.     Stamp is from Inkadinkado.

Rain Rain Go Away





We all know that we need the rain for the garden to grow.   But sure would like to be outside playing ball.   The window is from Hooks Line and Inkers and the little boy is from Art Impressions

Hats #2

Another card with same hat.    The hats bring a smile to my face thinking of Grandma St.Clair

Hats

Beautiful hats.    My grandma was seldom seen without her hat  and feathers.





This hat in a set of 4 comes from Hero Arts

Spring




This card tells me Spring is almost here.    It feels good to be back on my new blog after I was unable to get into my first one.    After almost 4 years of being without my blog.. my stamping friend Beccy M. set this one up for me.     I really appreciated all she did to not only start a new blog for me but she got all my old cards on it too.     I'm one happy lady today.

Basket on Shelf


Loved this stamp the minute I saw it.    It's an unmounted stamp so I don't remember where it came from.    I use crystal lacquer on the apples in the basket that makes them stand out.
