It's All About The Journey

Birthday Blessings

Late last night I made a card using one more image from the new Easter release by Aimee Nugent from Cornish Heritage Farms. This time I made a birthday card instead of an Easter card. If you know someone who is having a birthday on Easter I think this would be an appropriate card to give them.

Stamps:

-Double Delicate Lily (Aimee Nugent) from Cornish Heritage Farms. Classic Essential Expressions(Lisa Strahl)from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Cardstock:

-Twilight Medium, Spring Willow Medium and Frosted Yellow from Prism Papers. Natural White from Ellen Hutson. Designer paper LilyKate from BasicGrey.

Inks:

- Lettuce Adirondack from Ranger.

Accessories:

- White, Blue and Green pearls from Kaiser Scrapbook.

Tools:

- Marvy Uchida Punches and a flower die from Nestabilities.

Techniques:

Direct to paper.

Today Wayne and I awoke to 3 more inches of snow. That makes a grand total of 13 inches in the past 2 days. Tomorrow night we are expected to get at least 6 inches of snow! I feel for Wayne because he is trying to keep up with all of the snow blowing and trying to get some of the snow off the roof of the house and garages. We have had several roofs collapsing in NH due to the weight of the snow. Those of us who are getting slammed with snow this year  are all in the same boat . Too much snow and not enough time or room to keep up with the clean up. As I write this post it is a balmy 10 degrees and will be going down to zero very soon. Burr.

It has been a very long night for me so I think that I will end my post now. I hope that all of you have had a good week. Just think.........one more day of work and the weekend will be here. Just a few weeks from now and spring will be here. Now that is a happy thought. Smile. :)

Rejoice

Yesterday I made another card using  2 of the newly released Easters stamps by Aimee Nugent from Cornish Heritage Farms. I made this  into a circular gift card. I chose to do so because the main stamp is a circular design. I have never made a circular card so this was a challenge for me. But an easy challenge.It was also a great deal of fun. The total size of this card is 2 3/4 " so it will fit into a 3 1/8" envelope perfectly. I hope that you enjoy looking at my card and the envelope that I stamped to go with it.

Today Wayne and I awoke to 10 inches of fluffy but heavy snow.  It was of course very beautiful to see but for Wayne it meant more snow blowing and it is becoming more difficult for him to keep blowing it in the same places. We are running out of room !  We have a lot of snow on our house roof, breezeway and garage roofs as well. So tomorrow before he leaves for work he is going to try and get some of it off. I pray that he does not fall off of the roof! I have gotten a quote to have someone do it for us but Wayne refuses to have any of that. No talking to men some times. :(  We are still having snow now but it has been coming down lightly all day and night so I don't expect that we have gotten more then 2 more inches of the pretty white stuff. Another snow storm is on it's way to us on Friday night. OY! I must say that spring can not come quick enough for me. I took a few pictures  today of all the snow that we got last night. I am going to make a scrap book for Wayne. One day when he is real old I hope that he will be able to look back and laugh. :)

Have a wonderful Thursday. Smile. :) 

 

A Cross With Vines

Today is the release of the new Easter stamps by Aimee Nugent from Cornish Heritage Farms. In my opinion they are all gorgeous. When I look at these images I see a quiet elegance. The style of these stamps are very much "today" but in my opinion will be a classic . An Easter stamp that will be used for many years to come simply because it will always be "in". I see  many of these images not only being used for Easter but for a baptisms, First Communions, confirmations,  and so much more. See for yourself by visiting Aimee Nugent's new release.

Here is my first card. I hope you enjoy looking at it.

Stamps:

- Cross With Vines and Easter Filled With Love both by Aimee Nugent from Cornish Heritage Farms. Paisley Backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Cardstock:

- Majestic Purple dark from Prism Papers and Classic Natural White from Ellen Hutson.

Inks:

- Wisteria fluid chalk in from Colorbox. VersaMark watermark stamp pad from Tsukineko and Detail Gold EP powder from Judi Kins.

Accessories:

- Sheer ribbon from Michaels Stores, Inc. Purple Austrian crystals from Stamping Memories.

Tools:

- A heating tool.

Technique:

- Embossing.

I made this card into a  4 1/2 x 4 1/2.

As I write this post and get ready to publish it  we have gotten at least 3 inches or more of snow so far. The snow is now falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour and is not suppose to let up until tomorrow morning. We are expected to get any where from 6- 12 inches of of this lovely white stuff. The way that it is coming down I am betting it will be closer to 12 inches. I have  my flash lights out in case we lose our power. My goodness this month seems like a long one. Perhaps March will bring us less snow. I can only hope.  :)

I hope that all of you are keeping warm and dry tonight and if your having snow too then I hope your able to stay indoors.  Smile. :)
