Winter Greetings

2011-12-04T19:27:00.002-05:00

Hello Everyone....
Boy has it been a rough month. This is the first card I have had time to make since my last post. We had to make an enexpected trip to Alabama...then I came home with a bad cold....then Thanksgiving came along and I have been trying to get my Christmas shopping and wrapping done. I tell you I was going thru card making withdrawals.
Anyway hope you like this card I put together today. The image is from Stamping Up colored with my Bics and Sharpies. The inside saying is from a set from TAC. Background paper was from the DCWV Rustic stack.
Hope you like it....
Til next time (hoping it isn't as long as the last time)

First Oldie

2011-11-02T19:08:00.003-04:00

Hello Everyone...
Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday...but was out shopping and visiting my sister-in-law so didn't get the pics taken in time. I was learning how to use my circut (lol)
Anyway this is a stamp from a company called Sweet Celebrations who is no longer in business. I used to do home parties for them so I have tons of their stamps. (lol) I used Sharpies and Bic pens to color it. Hope you like my oldies this month.
Have a great night....

Happy Halloween.....

2011-10-31T10:21:00.003-04:00

Good Monday Morning to you all.
Thought I would stop in and wish you all a Happy Halloween.

Sorry I haven't updated much this month...but .....
I have a new goal for November. You all may think I am crazy but I have millions of stamps in my art room just sitting there. This month I have decided to use some of those stamps. So starting tomorrow I am using some very old stamps. In fact my first post will be a stamp from Sweet Celebrations. Sweet Celebrations is no longer in business and hasn't been for several years. So each day for November hopefully I will have an oldie but goodie for you..so stayed tuned.

Have a great day all.

Hugs

Reality check!

2011-02-13T19:06:00.002-05:00

Hello Everyone......Well after the shock of my beautiful new blog Rita did for me I guess I will share a card with you all. I have been sharing flowers and summery or springy stuff......but must face reality now. This is what Michigan really looks like----except maybe those flowers did help a little. We hit 42 today.....so maybe just maybe we are on our way to spring, but somehow I am not so convinced of that.
This lil guy was suppose to be a regular card but I made him into an easel card. I love doing easel cards.....Hope you enjoy him. I loved him....he is so Michigan looking (lol)
Thanks for stopping by, and please if you feel like it let me know what you think....Have a great night,
Later

Are we ready for the Poppies to pop?

2011-02-11T19:22:00.000-05:00

Good Evening All
Well hope you are all ready for a well deserved weekend. We have worked hard all week so now time to play in our Art Havens.......
I printed this last night and put it together today. It is called a Giant Easel Tableau from CraftsuPrint. It was fun to do. I hope you like it.....
I keep thinking these cheerful flowers will bring spring quicker, but I am wondering--although our weather is to warm up considerably this next week...so maybe (lol).
Anyway lets hope so--but regardless of the weather I hope you all have a nice wonderful relaxing weekend. See you tomorrow night....
Til then....

Oh Spring and Lilacs

2011-02-07T21:18:00.000-05:00

Oh I am so ready for spring!!!!!!!
I love this little Magnolia holding her bouquet of lilacs. Really screams spring at you doesn't it.
I guess I need to get back into the reality of it all....this is only Febuary and Michigan so it will be a long time before my lilacs bloom.
Have a great night all, and hope your week isn't to bad....
Til next time.....

Proud Grandma

2011-01-24T21:26:00.003-05:00

I am so proud of my grandaughter. Her and her sister spent the night with me Saturday night, so we stamped and colored and made cards. Tonight I am sharing the ones Lexie (age 6 ) made. She colored them all by herself and I helped her make them into cards.
She said they had to have embellishments on them. I thought she did a grand job.......Hubby thought I had colored them...She is good.....and only 6.
Tomorrow night I will share Gabby's with you. I wanted them each to have there own feature on Grandma's blog.
Let me know what you think.....
Have a good night and keep warm

Hi Everybody
Boy did I get behind.....I actually did not have anything to share the last few days---but now I have about a week's worth of shares. I got busy the last couple of days.
This is a cute little Sarah Kay image.....I just love Sarah Kay images.
The background papers came from the dollar store....roses came from the dollar store, the leaves are a punch and she was colored with Bic and Sharpies except the skin....and that was with Prismacolor light peach. Hope you like her. Makes you want to spring to hurry up and get here doesn't it....(lol)
Okay all have a wonderful weekend......those of you on the east coast brace for more snow.....those in the northern midwest more cold...and actually us here in Michigan some bitter cold but not as bad as Wisconsin, Minnesota and those states....looks like we are all in for a cold weekend around here.....
Cya tomorrow....

A Sketch Swap

2011-01-14T21:58:00.004-05:00

This card was done for a sketch swap on one of my Yahoo groups. It was fairly simply....I used my heart swiss dot cuddlebug folder for my background....a Tilda and Edwin stamp two circle punches for circles and a snowflake sticker with a blue gem in the center. Organza ribbon and that was it...I colored with Sharpies .
I liked the way it turned out. Hope you do too.....

PS By the way Rita Thanks for my header cards you added to my blog...Awesome dear...
Hope you all have a great night and a wonderful weekend. We are expecting a little snow tonight, but they say not much.....

Let it Snow

2011-01-06T21:32:00.005-05:00

Hello ......
Well today has been a busy hectic day....I wanted to go out and do just a little shopping, cat food, stuff for Granddaughter's birthday party, mail my swaps and birthday cards for a couple groups I am on.....well I made it to the drug store, post office and first grocery store just fine...as I was leaving the store a man honks his horn at me to tell me I have a flat tire.....and I mean flat....went across the street to the gas station, put my 75 cents in for air, and the goofy thing didn't work....mind you I have never had to put air in before...so I asked a guy coming out of the station to help me.....I was doing it right..the air machine wasn't working right...so had to go couple blocks down to the next station....but my 75 cents in and that one worked. Called hubby and he met me at the tire shop....I had a big long screw in my tire--so got that fixed, and then went on the big grocery store......what a miserable day.....
Anyway this lil snowman card I made for a Case this card challenge on a yahoo group Cardcamp. I thought he turned out rather nice. The stamp is a Stampin Up stamp and I used Bic markers and some stickers from the dollar store for embellishments.
See I told you I would have some stamping for you soon....
Well hope everyone has a nice warm cozy and blessed night
Til next time....
Gloria

I just wanted to come on and wish all my friends from far and near a very Happy Blessed and Wonderful New Year...filled with good health and good times.

Kinda Wintery

2010-12-28T14:10:00.004-05:00

Well Christmas is over for another year....but hmmmm I couldn't find much that I have made and scanned or photographed other than Christmas..but this lil girl looks ready to go for a winter stroll. Hope you like her....She was colored with Bic and Sharpie pens.
Just in case I don't get back til after New Years hope you all have a wonderful and a Blessed New Year.

More Gifts

2010-12-17T21:43:00.002-05:00

Happy Holidays

This is a whole bunch of pencils and erasers I had to wrap for my little Lexie to take for her class. I thought it was a good idea--the teacher asked each child to bring a small gift for all in the classroom--like pencils or a small toy like you would have in party packs--something very inexpensive but this way all kids would get the same. Lexie chose pencils and erasers and believe it or not it took longer to wrap all these pencils then it did to make the Christmas mugs for all the teachers. I am sure she will be happy though and that is what counts.
Tomorrow I will be back to sharing cards (lol)

Wishing Seasons Best to you all.

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas

2010-12-16T19:53:00.002-05:00

Hi All,

Well this is what I worked on last night and this morning......10 Snowman Soup mugs for my grandkids to take to their teachers and the lil one's daycare.
They were fun to do and price efficient
for having to make that many.
I got my mugs at Dollar Tree, and the bags for them...Heck I even got the marshmallows, candy canes and hot chocolate there. I added a few Hershey's kisses and got into my stash of ribbons for the bows....so all and all not bad 10 gifts for less than $15.00. I hope their teachers like them.
Let me know what you think....
Til next time
Love and Happy Holidays to all...

Butterlies, butterflies, butterflies

2010-12-14T21:50:00.002-05:00

It has been so bitter cold and snowy here I decided to warm things up a bit---in my mind anyway (lol)
I decided to post the card I made awhile back, to bring a little warmth to us--in our minds anyway. I just love butterflies and this card was so much fun to do....
After this one I will get back to some Christmas cards==as we only have 15 days left til the jolly ole man comes....
I have to get a few more on, so will try to update a little more often...
Would love to know what you think of my butterflies, if you gave the time
Have a nice warm night everybody....it is 8 degrees here--I hate to think what the wind chill is....
So long til next time...

How about something besides Christmas (lol)

2010-12-06T20:58:00.004-05:00

Well decided to spice it up a bit tonight and post something other than a Christmas card....and something besides 3-D. This would make a darling Welcome to your new home card wouldn't it. It sure was a lot of fun to color. I do need to get back to my coloring--I am missing it.
Hope you like it.....would love to hear from you and whatever comments you might have.
Have a great day where ever you are. It is cold and snowy here in Michigan.

Happy Holidays.........

2010-11-29T22:32:00.003-05:00

This is another like the last one......These are so much fun to make. It takes 6 sheets of card stock to make, but well worth it.
Hope you enjoy.....now back to decorating the tree.
Happy Holidays....
If you have a chance and care to let me know what you think--I would so appreciate it...

I think it is time

2010-11-21T10:46:00.003-05:00

to add a new card to my blog. This is one I made a few days ago for my Mom for Christmas. I hope she likes it. There was a lot of cutting and stuff, but it was fun to do. I hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by---and Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
If you have a chance let me know what you think....was it worth all the time and effort. It is 6 full sheets of cardstock to print off and cut out. (lol)

2010-11-08T10:42:00.003-05:00

Well I finally have a stamped image---well not really, but a digi image (lol).

Have a great day and would love to know what you think.

I think it is time

2010-11-05T20:06:00.003-04:00

Hello Hello Hello

I think it is time to update my blog.
This is an oversized card from CraftsuPrint. I love doing 3-D although I must admit--I need to get back to stamping also.

Also an apology to all--but I had to go out and put restrictions on postings as I had at least one Anoyomous poster posting about meds like Vigara etc...totally ticked me off, so I have set it to have each post come to me for approval before posting to the blog---sorry I had to do that...but maybe it will get rid of the idiot who is doing it.
Sorry folks--just had to vent a little also.
Hope you enjoy my latest card....and all have a good night and a great weekend.

Helllllo

2010-10-26T11:04:00.000-04:00

Good Morning. Thought it was about time I updated again.
Loved this little girl and thinking it won't be long til the snow flies. We have high winds today....gusting to 60 miles an hour...not real cold but looks like snow clouds to me (lol)
Hope you enjoy my lil girl as much as I enjoyed making her.
Have a great day one and all.
