Choose Happiness

 I love this stamp set Choose Happiness. Using a variety of inks and the floral image creates a layered effect with wonderful depth.  And never forget to add a ill somethin' to your envelope and inside of card.  Just really personalizes it.

Beautiful Ride

These were card sorting boxes SU used to sell. Inspired by the new Beautiful Ride stamp set; just love!!

The box was originally white. Using Melon Mambo and black card stock, I embossed the dots using a dauber with Melon Mambo embossing powder.

These were two matching cards I made and put inside the box.

All was made as a Christmas gift for my friend Sue.

Christmas 2015

Well I got some of my Christmas cards out. But let's just say Happy New Years cards are going out too. Well I knew 5 weeks ago when my foot twisted that the snap was a bad sign. I knew this years Christmas celebrations would be very quiet. Now 5 weeks later and STILL confined to bed rest. Oh well it was still an amazing Christmas one that I will always be grateful for.

So I made a few different cards this year and will post them over the next few days.

Special card for my special friend.

Christmas Cards 2015

I sent out a few different cards this year. Here's one....

Paint Your Pooch

Well it's been 8 years since I've been able to paint. A bad injury almost caused me the loss of use of my right hand/arm. I still only have partial use but I thank God so very much for all the healing He provided. 

So my besty Sue Parker and I recently attended a class at Brush Party and we had a blast. Here's some of the fun!

My sweet Bear....

Instructor's pup that supervised all with lots of 'talking' to get continuous snuggles and ear rubbing throughout the evening.
