OWH BLOGHOP 2014

Hi Everyone,

Here are the best cards that I made this year. Although I made hundreds, I don't always post them because I just don't take the time to upload them. I should make more of an effort to post more often--maybe that could be one of my New Years resolutions--one of many!

Last Day of 2014

Hi Everyone,

Here is my Christmas card, which I didn't want to post until after Christmas and all the cards had been sent out and received. I can't take any credit for the design of this, as it was CASED from a YouTube video from Nichol Magouirk. She has the best ideas.

Enjoy!

Winter Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few winter cards that I made using some Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I CASED them from Nichol Magouirk by following her YouTube videos. I've already sent them off to OWH, as winter cards are due right after Christmas. Nichole has some great ideas on her videos. I've really enjoyed watching them.

Enjoy!

Fall Thanks and Thinking of You

Hi Everyone,

I made two thank you cards today. They are both the same colors, but the greeting is different. I used the Fabulous Flowers stamp set from Avery Elle. The great thing about this set, as usual, is the ability to die cut all the flowers and leaves. I used purple dotted paper from Papertrey Ink that I got in one of their yearly assortment packs. Actually, in real life the purples look great together.

Enjoy!

Stampin Up Christmas Tree

Hi Everyone,

This is the Stampin Up Christmas tree stamped in the center of the newest embossing folder from this year's holiday catalog. This is a great card to make multiples since it's so easy, very few steps to make a nice card.

Enjoy!

My Favorite Tree

Hi Everyone,

Happy Fall! Here is a picture of my favorite tree in the backyard. I had to capture a photo of it this week while it is so beautiful. As soon as we have some heavy rains, all the leaves will fall down. There was a large tree next to it that had to be chopped down this summer--what a bummer! In the meantime, enjoy the beauty of this one.

Enjoy!

Fall Daisies

Hi Everyone,

This is one of my favorite stamps. It's Hero Arts Daisies. I find myself reaching for it often, especially when I'm in the mood to color. I find that the colors balance nicely when you use the same colors for the top and bottom flowers, and the same colors for the middle flowers, just varying the shading a bit.

Enjoy!
