Happy Thanksgiving Friends!




Happy Thanksgiving Friends!


We wish you and yours the best Thanksgiving!  I don't have a Thanksgiving card to share today, but thought this one would be appropriate for a thankful message today.  Friendships are a blessing, and something I am very thankful for......and I'm thankful for all my blog followers.  Thank you, friends!

This is a Mary Engelbreit chipboard sticker.  I love her art, and I enjoy using her images whenever I can.  The background paper is some from my paper stash, as is the organza ribbon. Backed the image with gold metallic card stock.  I added some Stickles to the tiny flowers and wings on the little fairy.  I'll be back later with something new.  Have a wonderful day and weekend!




Happy Thanksgiving! 
Hugs, Geri

A Different Look with the Same Penny Black Sticker



Hi Friends,

Today's card has a different look using the same Penny Black sticker.  Used a red background and small red poinsettia on this one.   "Peace" is a die cut, and I apologize, I can't remember who makes the die, but I'm guessing it may also be by Penny Black.  Add tiny stars around the word, and card is done.

I hope you're all having a good week and staying warm! 







Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time....

Snowflakes and Penny Black

Hi Friends,

Today's card is one I made using a Penny Black sticker.  Penny Black has some really pretty holiday stickers this year.  The neutral colors makes a different card for sure.  Half the card is chocolate card stock, and the right side is a muted cream and greenish blue pattern.  Not your usual red and green theme.  There is a "Joy" die cut towards the bottom of the card in a champagne color....a little hard to see in the photo.  Add some snowflakes and gem stones, and you're all done.  Quick and easy card.  More of these are definitely on my cards to make for Christmas cards this year.  







Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time...

Two Thanksgiving Cards to Share



Happy Weekend Friends!

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I made with two friends who designed the cards.  The first card was designed by Sharalynn Sullivan and the second card was designed by Kaelyn Johnson.  Thanks to you both for sharing your designs.  Wonderful cards for Thanksgiving....and it's coming up fast.  Whew, where are the days going?  Here are the cards.

Sneaking in One More Spooky Card

Hi Friends,

Sneaking in one more spooky Halloween card.  This one is one of the "flip" card (I think that's what they're called).  When you open the card, it has two different sections, with two different sentiments.  On the inside, it reads "EEEEEKKK!! and there's a big black 3-D spider embellishment crawling up the word.  This card design was shared by Sharalynn Sullivan.  Thanks, Sharalynn!  
The background spider web die cut is a Tim Holtz die.  Another fun card for Halloween.   





here's the inside "EEEEEKK!" with big ole glittery spider.


Thanks for stopping in today.  Until next time.....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


BOO!

Happy Halloween Friends!

I meant to have this posted for Halloween, but you know how life gets in the way of blogging.  I used a really old stamp I had in my Halloween box for the window image.  If you look closely at the third pic, you can see the little ghost, scary tree face and spider.  The background big web is by Hero Arts.  The window die cut is by Memory Box, and the green spider web border is a Martha Stewart punch.  

Rarely do I get to use the bright lime green card stock, but Halloween is the perfect time to use it with purple.  The inside of the card (sorry, forgot to have hubby photograph that), has a little ghost attached to the word Boo!  A glitterly bat from with googly eyes sits on the top of the winow frame.  The bat sticker is from Michael's.

Mr Tree is having a very bad hair day!  lol




I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!  Better go get our candles lit at the candy table and wait for the little ghosts and goblins to get here.  Happy Halloween!

Quoth the Raven.....in the words of Edgar Alan Poe



Hi Friends,

To quote Edgar Alan Poe would take too much typing, so I'll just use the title.  The Raven card was a quick and easy card.  The design was shared by Liane Ceglar.  Thanks, Liane!  The stamp is by Stampendous.  Layered with orange and black card stock.  The hat has a bit of Copic coloring, then orange and black Stickles finishes it off.  Add a few sequins, and all done.




Here's a close-up of the blingy Stickles and sequin.


Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll be back soon with another card.  Until next time....
