warm wishes - a CASE

Good morning!!

Things are just hopping around my neck of the woods. 
I am desperately trying to get ready for 2 craft fairs this week!
Yikes!! I am such a procrastinator.

Today I want to show you a card I made, but I can't take ANY credit for the design! This is a total CASE.
I found this AMAZING card by the fabulous Laura @ doublestick heaven.

I adore the Let it Snow stamp set, 
and have been wanting to use the tree trunks like this.
I saw her's and just had to recreate it.


The fonts on this set are just fabulous!

Please head on over to the Avery Elle blog for more inspiration from Jamie and the DT.

I am showcasing the set - True Colors.

RetroSketch #90

Hey there!!

I just love this time of year, maybe minus the really stupid cold temperatures, but I just love wanting to be warm and cozy. Curled up on the couch, watching movies and drinking hot chocolate!!

Who's with me?

Anyway, I am sharing with you today the new RetroSketch challenge that started on Saturday.
It's based on this, as always, this GORGEOUS card by Laurie.


My take uses a super cute new set by The Alley Way stamps, In Stitches.
It's "sew" much fun. Hee hee!!

a little peace & joy

Good morning!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

I spent the weekend making about 30 cards. 
My back is a bit sore. :)

Today I am showcasing a fabulous little set from Avery Elle called Fill in the Blank. It also has a companion die set.

                                       Our 4" x 6" Holiday Fill In The Blank clear stamp set is perfect for Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving cards, home decor and gifts.  This set is meant to coordinate with sentiments contained in our Fill In The Blank clear stamp set or our coordinating Holiday Fill In The Blank Elle-ments steel dies.  Our Holiday Fill In The Blank Elle-ments Custom Steel dies (designed by JJ Bolton) are exclusive to Avery Elle.  These premium steel dies coordinate with our Holiday Fill In The Blank and Fill In The Blank clear stamp sets and are proudly made in the USA.

That adorable little tree just kind of jumped out at me!


I do hope you will head on over to the Avery Elle blog for more daily inspiration from Jamie and the rest of the DT.

a little love goes a long way

Morning!

As we spent time yesterday honouring the millions of veterans who have made such a difference in all our lives, it got me thinking about how much we have to be grateful for. 

I am so grateful to have all of the love in my life. 
My son, my husband, ALL of my family, immediate and otherwise!
Friends, neighbours, etc

How different my life would be without them in it. 

So I felt the need to express a little LOVE!!


I used the new TAWS set Spell Check for the background and the speech bubble. It's such a fun set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
