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.
