It's All About The Journey

Ghoulish Greetings And An ATC

Both are from my dear friend Tami from MN. Before I post her card I have to tell all of you that Tami is an awesome designer and instructor. More then that she is a beautiful person and I am very fortunate to have her as my friend. :) I hope to see her again during the Christmas holidays.

Her attention to detail is phenomenal. The inside ofthis card is finished off with more stamping and a 3-D image of a bat by the moon. On the envelope of the card she sent me are many images and sentiments. I truly smiled when I saw the envelope in my mailbox.  As you can see her ATC is beautiful. Once again her attention to detail just knock my socks off! Thank you *very* much Tami for making my day on Saturday.

I hope all of you ladies enjoy looking at the card and the ATC as much as I did and still do. I wanted to share with you what I think in my humble opinion are little works of art. ;)

I had a very full but wonderful weekend . I hope all of you did too. Smile. :)

A Chillin' Holiday

I am so excited. Yesterday I received some new stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms. They will be released next week so I made a card so that you could have a sneak peek of a little bit of what is to come. I can't say much right now but  CHF  has a lot of wonderful things coming. Fun! Fun! Fun! :)

This stamp and sentiment are from Asela's new collection coming out. I love her new stamps they are awesome.

Isn't this snowman adorable? :) Well, there are lots more stamps coming out from Asela and the newest illustrator Kim Hughes. Want to see more samples? Surf right on over to Keri's blog,   Mona Lisa's Blog, Dawn's Blog and  Laurie Craig's Blog.

While your blog surfing don't forget to visit the CHF blog for  news about the new  CHF On-line Referral Program. ;)

I have a very full weekend planned and it begins today. On Sunday I have my daughter, sister, granddaughter and my niece all coming to make cards, eat chocolates, cookies and other snacks. Then I am going to make them all dinner and serve some more chocolate. Ha-ha. If they will allow me to post some pictures of them I will . I hope that all of you have a fantastic weekend. I plan to. :) Smile. :)

Card Design

I have been waiting for this book to be released for at least 5 weeks! The title of this book is:
Card Design rubber stamping with colored pencils and watercolors. The Author  of this book is Dave Brethauer. If you have never heard of him then surf on over to his blog. You will not be disappointed.

I have had my nose in this book most of the night which is why I have not designed a card. The visuals are beautiful and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you love coloring cards I think you will love this book as much as I am loving it. :)

After my PT today I stopped off at Stamping Memories. I chatted with Liz and Bette, looked at the cards  made that they will be teaching in classes for October and did a little shopping of course. Did I mention that you can pick up a copy of the Card Design book there? ;) I purchased another set of Ciao Copics, picked up some designer papers and then decided it was time for me to leave. :) On my way home I stopped off at Dunkins and got a large coffee. I had a very easy and a very pleasant day and I hope that all of you did too. Smile. :)
