Tis The Season To Glitter

A million things to do here at the cabin...and I am still making cards and tags.....but it's so much fun!  I showed you a few days ago my $1 reindeer stamp....here is another...the wreath really has alot of detail..most of which I covered up with my stickles.....I love a glitzy card......a very quick card.....the longest was waiting for the stickles to dry!  I managed to get a couple more tags out of the scraps...I am having a tag making day here in December...I did that last year and it was a huge success......the girls are begging for more....see you tomorrow!!

Winter Wonderland

Don't you just love how fresh fallen snow sparkles.....frosty~cold~sparkle.....I love it for a few months, then it can go away...luckily we only had a few snowflakes so far...but if it snows on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day....priceless!

I made this card with a long retired Stampin'Up! set called "Winter Wonderland".....added some "ice" Stickles on the trees and the ice........I used shimmery white CS from Stampin'Up! with my EB folder...and of course I couldn't "forget" my tags...made with scrap left...the image was one I wasn't happy with after it was stamped...perfect to cut apart for these tags...I am gaining on my tags!

Rudolph Never Looked So Good!

What can be better then a "harvest moon" or "Indian Summer".....we have had both...November in Michigan and its in the 60's...I am loving it.......I worked in the garden today...and no snakes...that was a blessing....I should be cleaning up the mess I made in the house......I emptied (almost) out my computer room...my hubby is gone until tomorrow...perfect time to make a mess...but guess what.....I haven't done one thing with it since...oh well.....

I went Christmas shopping today.....I ended  up buying for myself...that's the kind of shopping I like...lol....but I saw all these $1 stamps...how could I pass them up.....the reindeer is made with one.....notice the stitching  I did on the card...am loving that look....you might have to click on the card to see it.......after I do a card, I promised myself to use the scraps and make tags...I managed to get 2 done....that's two more then I had...right??  I have been into making BIG cards lately...not sure why...just a change I guess ...until tomorrow......

My Heart Goes Out

Nothing new to show today, somehow I can't get interested.....yesterday I saw where one of the blogs I follow her 3 year old passed away from a virus..kind of takes the heart out of wanting to do anything constructive.....my heart goes out to the family..I just can't imagine their lost.....there is a digital image you can purchase to help fund a tree at the zoo where Henry loved to go...you can find more about it here if you are interested in helping out.

Frosty Pines

The trees are bare~the morning air is crisp and clean~and the pines are "frosty"!  I am going to pick out my Christmas tree today.....perfect day for it....I take Nellie....shes loves to romp amongst the pines......after I find it, it is tagged and then ready to pick it up whenever I am ready for it, the tree farm will go and cut it for me, shake it, drill a hole in the base and put it in my stand for me, they wrap it, and when I get it home and in the cabin, all I have to do is cut the wrapping and viola'...I have a perfect straight tree.....gotta love it!
The card I have for today looks like alot of work, but the trees are scrapbook paper.....and I bet you thought I did all that glittering......the card is as instant as my real tree...somedays you need that!

Tinsel Town~Another OCC Challenge Card...think VINTAGE Style!

I had a bit of free time today and decided to do another "vintage" card for the OCC Challenge....it ends today at 6pm.....I know its hard to tell, but there is a "diamond brad" on the bow....and I know it doesn't look it...but this card actually took me awhile to create for some reason.  The ink I used is the new in color this year from SU....one of my favorites of the 6....but I have always loved the chocolate chip ink from SU and the "Soft Suede" works just as nice!  The background stamp is also SU, called "Medallion"

A Bit Vintage~Some Scraps~And Moon NOT Over Miami

One thing I love about the fall is when we get our "harvest Moon"..........oh how I wish I had a GOOD camera to take night photos...my hubby came in from getting pellets for our pellet stove and said "you gotta go outside and see the moon over Adam's ( Adam is my stepson...I have a son Adam, too)...so I grabbed "his" shoes and my coat and by the time I got out it had already moved, I had to cross the road and go into a soybean field to see it, but oh so worth it...wish I could show you better!

I was not even sure of what I wanted to do tonight, so put together this "vintage" card....I just love the ribbon and the birdie "nesting" on it! 

The little tags were made from scraps left from the card....just a quick post...gotta get some sleep...see you tomorrow!
