PTI February Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card for Papertrey Ink's blog hop this month. I woke up to snow this morning, so this card is certainly a sign of hope that spring will really hurry up and get here. As much as I love the snow--in a "good book and cup of hot chocolate" sort of way, I'm anxious to get back into a regimen of walking several miles a day. But I have to admit, snow has a certain beauty.

Here is another card using the same layout. I just can't resist doing duplicate cards.

Enjoy!

Colleen's Ring

Congratulations, Colleen!!

Purple Chrisanthemum Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is a birthday card I made today for my sister. It's 5 x 6.5, which is really a nice size to make for a special card. You have a little more space to put your design. My camera doesn't always capture the color purple correctly, but rest assured, all the purples match. I have a few random cards to send out this week, and I think this design may be the main one--but I might change up the color on each one.

I actually CASED this design from Dawn McVey from PTI's release last month. I think that it would look great in several of the fall colors. After I make those, I'll post them.

Enjoy!

My New Hairdo

Hi Everyone,

Here are some pictures of my new hairdo--this one is good for now. There may be some changes next month------]

Patriotic Quilt

Hi Everyone,

Here is a patriotic quilt that I made recently. It would make a great quilt for the Quilts of Valor program. However, it is definitely labor-intensive. It took me more than six weeks to make it, and that is working very diligently on it. The quilt is a kit by Fons and Porter.

Some More Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few more cards--I made all these yesterday and today. I can't take credit for the second through fifth cards, as I CASEd a card from Angela's blog . Her card is just gorgeous, and when I saw it I knew I had to replicate it.

Also, this weekend I decided to figure out how to put a slideshow in the sidebar of my blog. I found this one site that has a slideshow that I was able to work with. I also found a different configuration on this same site. Anway, for some real fun, double click on the slideshow that is at the bottom of the page (not the one in the sidebar) and it will open a new page. Click the button to make it a full page and then click the button to start the slideshow, then watch what happens. Unfortunately, I think this is Flash, so Apple users, i.e, Ipads, can't see the slideshow.
