Good afternoon ladies. Hope your weekend has been great and you got a lot of shopping done and some good buys. I stayed home, away from the stores until Saturday afternoon and then I ventured out to WM for some things and meet up with Vickie.

Todays card I'm sharing what Vickie and I did last night. It's an Easel Card. We got the directions over at SCS http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463458 Pretty easy to do. Even though I could not for the life of me figure it out. Now, I feel like a real dummy they were/are so easy to do.

Metal meets Candle

Good morning ladies. It's NASCAR day!!! Final race of the year. Already looking forward to Feburary when it starts all over again!!!! Hope you have a great Sunday.

Today, I'm sharing a candle wrap that I made using 40gr metal sheet, Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder, sanding block and a few brads. You too, can purchase the directions at http://www.addalittledazzle.com/my_weblog/page/2/ The candles make a great addition to your holiday decorations. And the great thing about these is, you can change out the sleeve for your next home decor liking without having to buy more candles. It's a win/win situation. If you attend one of my workshops, you might find one of these projects that you can make and take home.

That's it for today. Thanks for stoppin by. Have a wonderful Sunday. Remember to keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

NOEL

Good Morning ladies. Hope your Saturday is starting out wonderful. It's a little on the chilly side this morning, hoping it will warm up. Vicki will be here this afternoon after we make a couple of stops at the local "box stores". We have a couple of projects that we want to do today, then I can share them the first of the week.

Today, I'm sharing a 4-box NOEL Christmas decoration. I made this using Taken With Teal (my favorite color this year) and the SU Petal Card Die, made 4 for each box. Then I used some Holiday Lounge and W White to matt the boxes. The letters were made using my Cricut. Then I added a snow flake from a punch I don't know where I got it or when, but I thought it was a pretty snowflake. The Holly is a Sizzix die that I've had for several years. I used Dew Drops for the Berries. And then the little bird, that's SU Embossilit "Merry". And wrapped it all up with Retired Silver Organdy Ribbon. (Wish they'd come out with it again).

That's it for today. Thanks so much for stoppin by. Remember to keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Have a great weekend,

PPA14 Hope for a Cure

Good Morning ladies. WOW! this is early for me, thanks to my furbabies that think it's time to get up. Their interclock hasn't changed when we changed the time on Saturday nite. Yawn! So I thought I'd get my posting done. It's a brisk morning, but the sun is shining. They say no rain for the rest of the week. Hope your Tuesday is going great so far.

I'm dedicating this card to my best friend who passed away 10 yrs ago to breast cancer. I wished there had been a cure for her. Todays card is for PPA http://www.palspaperarts.com/ The only requirement was your card had to be pink for Breast Cancer Awareness, Hope for a Cure. So I chose Illuminations (retired) HOPE stamped in Melon Mambo. I used Melon Mambo cardstock, W White and a piece of DSP out of Walk in the Park (retired). Cut the H out and popped it up, Ticket punch was used on the corners. Finished off with White Satin Ribbon and some small 1/2 pearls.

That's it for today, thanks so much for stoppin by. Remember those checkups, early detection is an ounce of protection. Remember to keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Holy Triptych Luminaria

Good Afternoon ladies. Hope your Monday is going well. The weather is just beautiful here in SW MO. Great day to have the windows and doors open.

Today, I'm sharing with you something I seen over at SCS, Vicki and I started these yesterday and I finished mine this morning. You can see the orginal poster at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1517055

We sorta followed some of the orginal design colors, but we probably used what we "thought" they were. Of course, for fire hazard reasons, you can not put a regular burning candle in this. Need to use a LED candle.

We used SU Holy Triptych Stamp Set, Whisper White and Vellum cardstock. Stampamajig, Gold Embossing, Black Stazon and various colored SU Markers and Lace Edge Punch, sticky tape and craft knife.

That's it for today, thanks so much for stoppin by. Ya'll come back...keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.
