It's All About The Journey

Country Blessing Card

This is the card that I made this morning. It was a fun and easy card to make. I used the Country Blessings stamp set, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy and Natural Ivory card-stock. I used VersaMark , gold embossing powder and Moss green grosgrain ribbon. I will be using this card as one of the  Thanksgiving Day cards that I will be sending to my family this year. All products from Stampin' UP! Happy Halloween everyone!

More Thank You Christmas Cards

This morning I made 2 more thank you cards using the "All The Trimmings" Simply Scrappin' collection.  I have to say that I am enjoying making cards like this. I am used to using only stamps to make my cards so making them with designer papers and stickers from a kit has been a fun experience for me. They are fast and easy to make. As you can see very easy to design too.  All items except for the tiny crystals used on the Christmas tree card are from Stanpin UP!

To make this card I used the Simply Scrappin "All the Trimmings kit, Warmest Regards stamp set and an Austrian crystal on top of the tree and in the center of the little tree ornament.  That is it!

I used the same kit and stamp set as I did above. The only thing different is that I used dazzling Diamonds on the snowflake. I also used a scallop punch to mat the snowflake on. Quick and easy to do.

My Craft Room

We have had quite the weekend here in NH. It  began raining at around 2 AM Saturday morning.  All through Saturday it rained and most of the time the rain was coming down quite heavily. The winds were at 40 mph through out most of this storm. Our brook did come up onto our land again. So instead of having a nice little brook we have a little lake with running water.  I spent most of Saturday cleaning my house, doing laundry and than cooking. So I did not get any stamping done. I took some pictures of my craft room and I am going to put a few of them up so that I can share my space with others. :) This aftrenoon I went for a walk and took some pictures of our brook/lake and just walked the property to get some fresh air and clear my head. I love the smell in the air this time of year.  So this has been my weekend. Tomorrow it is back to stamping and working on my SU newsletter.  Keep Smiling!

Here is some of my room. In the white canvas bins I have some of my SU stamp sets. The rest of my sets are downstairs in my stamping room that I use only when I have workshops. On my walls are antique printers draws. I have many of my other stamps stored in them.

This is where I do my computer work and banking etc... next to it are two more desks that go from the computer desk all the way to the end of my room. This is where I stamp and do other paper crafts.

Here is the desk that I use to scrapbook on.
