House Mouse Dream

This little guy is so cute!! I love this image.

The marshmallow has flocking on it, so its nice and fluffy.

Footprints

This is not the greatest picture in the world, but I did want to share this project. This was one of Laura's Christmas presents and I didn't get a chance to take a picture before it was in a frame and hanging on the wall.

Laura loves the poem "Footprints in the Sand" I stamped and colored the poem and then added a picture of a thoughtful Laura, sitting on Flagler beach last summer.

Donkey and Precious Moments

These are more of the images I had colored in November and still hadn't found homes for them. I worked the other night to try to get all the colored images on cards.... and I'm still working on it.

Sympathy Cards

I hate making sympathy cards. If I was smart, I'd make them ahead of time, before I need them, but I've never claimed to be that smart. Needed a few sympathy cards yesterday, so these are some of the ones I made.

Sleepy Bear....

All of our snow inspired this card. We have had some type of snow every day since December 18th.... and still counting. I can't even get my back door open because the snow is piled up so high!!!

My friend Terry sent me the image of this cutie. The inside sentiment on this little guy is: "I'm going back to bed until Spring!"

Another Page

Last page until I get some journaling printed and more pictures taken. These pictures are more from our visit to the Smokies in September. I had trouble with this page, but was really satisfied with how it finally came together.

Fall Memory

I'm finally getting started on scrapping my fall layouts. The fall ones are always my favorite to scrap-- I love the colors and the scenery. Usually, I get these layouts done every year even if nothing else is scrapped, but I am behind this year. This was a simple picture, but one of my favorites that I took one day in October when Laura and I were on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC.

Birthday Card

This is the card I made for my nephew's birthday.

Another Cardinal

Here's another cardinal card.

Christmas Cardinals

I finally got a new card made this evening. I was determined to do something productive tonight!!

Last 2 Halloween Cards

Thank goodness, the Halloween cards, stamps and embellishments can be packed away---- again!! I've been under the weather the last couple of days, so this is the first chance I've had to post the last 2 type Halloween cards I made for Laura. I made some minor changes to these after the pictures were taken, but since I was feeling so bad, I didn't re-take the pictures. Sorry about that, but you get the general idea.

The first card, I remembered seeing one like it on a blog last Halloween. I have no idea which blog, since it was a year ago, so I do apologize for not being able to give credit appropriately. This was the first one I made.... with the next one, I played with the size a little and got one I was a little happier with-- and would fit in a regular size envelope. This one was a little bit of a challenge to get into an envelope!! And I absolutely do not recommend cutting out the house mousies--- not an easy task!! LOL!!

The second card is a little mummy. After I took the picture, I decided I didn't like the eyes--- I was playing with them and trying to work from memory which is never a good idea for me. I took the eyes off and redid them, but I didn't take another picture. The original card idea was CASE'd from an internet friend of mine, Char. She gives credit to another blog, but I have to give my credit and inspiration to her!!

Halloween Cards: Part 1

I told Laura I would help her make some Halloween cards for her friends.... I have about 1/2 of them finished. These are all very quick, simple cards. I'm trying to make them with a minimum of "bells and whistles"

Autumn Scene

I made these last week end.

Indian Corn HM

I love this image!! Believe it or not, I do not have this stamp-- yes, there are a few HM stamps that I do not actually own, if you can believe that!! My internet friend Terry sent me this image last year and I never got around to coloring it. I was rummaging around in my image basket last night and found it. After finishing this one last night, I'm going to go back and look in the basket again to see if I can find another one.

I also have to give some credit to Laura... she is the one that suggested making it Indian corn when we got the images in the mail. Terry always sends enough for both Laura and me, so we don't have to fight over them--- and we both appreciate that!!

Thanks again for the images, Terry!

*** Addendum**** Terry says my CRS is at work again and that this image did not come from her..... I'm asking around, but so far, I haven't found anyone that will take the blame... uh.... credit for it. If you gave me the image, please let me know so I can give you full credit. I usually am better at keeping up with my RAK images so I can give credit when I use one, but obviously, I have failed in that in this instance!! Thank you to whoever sent me this image.... oh... and can I have some more, please???!!

HM Trick or Treat

I finished these 2 Halloween cards this morning.. the images were a RAK from my internet friend Christina!! They are so cute. My daughter has informed me that we will eventually have to have this stamp, but for now, I'm working on RAK images and very thankful for them!!

Christmas Variety

I've been working on a variety of Christmas cards this morning.... all of them are very simple.

Teddy Bear Christmas

One last one and then I am finished... until tomorrow!!

This is a tri fold shutter card. I love making them, although I tried to do this one a little differently.

The image is Stamping Up and it was colored with prisma pencils and OMS. The DP is Basic Grey and the CS is Bazzil.

House Mouse Halloween

Isn't it amazing how some days, you can't make a card to save your life and then other days, the ideas are coming faster than you can get them on paper..... ??


I went back to the craft table after dinner tonight and came up with a few more cards. The first one is one of my favorite HM Halloween images... added a few extra touches for this card.

Ye Ole Fishin Hole

This is another birthday card. This one is for my brother, Ronnie, who is the big fisherman of the family.

I am addicted to this outhouse stamps!! I think they are adorable--- and, yes, bring back a few childhood memories-- not all of which are pleasant!! I found my first outhouse stamp on ebay and its a Christmas one. I'll be sharing some of those cards closer to Christmas. This one and a couple others, I purchased at my friend Netta's internet store. She has some beautiful stamps and the store is growing all the time, so check it out.

Inside the card, the bottom says.... You should have seen the one that got away!

To match the card, I drew an old plank sign on Ronnie's envelope.

SeaWorld

Finally!! On to the SeaWorld pictures!!

This first page is one of those that I'm not really happy with, but I don't know what else to do with it, so for right now, I guess it stays as it is. I used our tickets and some punched/ stamped tickets for the top border.
