Recycled

I recycled the front of a card someone sent me. I loved it so much and wanted to keep it going. I just added some Lawn Fawn paper to the front of a card base and added this card front. I would love to visit the Holy City but my travel days are over. It might be fun to ride a camel, but then again, maybe not. I can barely get through "hump day" every week!

A toady Christmas card

I'm almost ready for the holidays. Only four more gifts to wrap and I am done. This is the best I've ever done in getting ready. It's because I ordered everything online this time. Not trying to find a parking space and wandering around looking for the perfect gift is the most wonderful thing ever. To give you a quick idea of what it is like for me to shop - I get in the car with Foxy on the cart. (Foxy is my oxygen concentrator. Foxy is the name I gave her, Foxy oxy). Then I untangle the tubes and put on my seat belt, position my purse so it doesn't block the vents on Foxy and put on my sunglasses. Dig out my keys and open the garage door and I'm ready to roll  Other than the garage door, I reverse the process to get out of the car. Imagine doing that when you are going many different places! I need a nap when I get home. Plus I'm trying to carry packages and my purse as I pull Foxy along. That's why I ordered online.

This card for my younger granddaughter is from an idea I saw on Pinterest with a stamp that I don't have. My toad is an All Night Media stamp. Just a strip of c/s and stickles on the mistletoe from Lawn Fawn Cheery Christmas. I added two strips of the same red c/s along the sentiment strip. The little bow is from Lawn Fawn Snow Day.

Brrrr

Wow is it cold. Twenty degrees and all the windows on the sun porch are frosted over. But I'm thinking of my east coast friends who are snowed in. I hope everyone is snug and warm and didn't lose power.

I finished my gifts to my wonderful Stampin Up ladies. They make the most beautiful gifts and I am so challenged. I made them all taco Chex Mix and tied ribbons and tags around them. Not very exciting but I hope they like them. Below are pictures of the little tags. I wish I had gotten them done in time for the Tag Challenge but, alas, late as usual.

Stars

I received this stunning star from my dear friend and wanted to use it on a card. Then Trina asked for stars on her challenge and I was thrilled.

This is Stampin Up pattern paper and this lovely encrusted star. I am entering it in the

Gnome for the holidays

This card is for my older grandson and it's not as cutesy as he is older but still a fun card. This is a Fun Stampers Journey set of gnomes and the card inspired by their blog. I stamped her on a circle of card stock die cut with a Lil" Inker Designs die and colored her with Copics . I added a pewter gem to her hat. The sentiment is from the same set and embossed with white e/p.

Sharks!

This is a card for my younger grandson. I saw this idea on Pinterest but not this shark image and not this sentiment. My shark is Avery Elle and the waves are using a Simon Says stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. The Santa hat is Lawn Fawn and Flower Soft. I typed the sentiment on the computer. I just cut a strip of sparkle paper to add some bling. Hope he likes it.

I love you guys

You are the most loyal followers. Thanks for the comments on my last post about nothing. I am in negotiations for my own TV show. If it's good enough for Seinfeld, it should be good enough for me!

Seriously, I wanted to post but didn't have a thing to talk about or a new card to show. Today I do. When you ask my granddaughter what she wants for her birthday or Christmas, she always says a llama. I happened across Fun Stampers Journey and they had the cutest llama stamp and I knew it was mine. (They do still have more). Anyway, this is the card I made her for Christmas. I just stamped it and cut it out. Used a gray Copic for a little shading and added a ribbon for a scarf. The paper is SU and I cut a hill with a die from Lawn Fawn and added Stickles. Merry Christmas is SU and the sentiment is FSJ. I can't wait to give it to her.
