Tuesday...


Here is another Thanksgiving card. I used the SU set, Autumn Harvest. I water colored the pumpkins, and leaves. The technique I used is called masking.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Monday...


Wow, another Monday. Not much going on today. I go up to the school and help with walking track. No math center for me today.


I have started working on Thanksgiving cards, did I just say that??? I love Thanksgiving. The last few years we have hosted it. I just love everything about it. The preparation, the family coming for the weekend, the cooking, the eating, the Friday shopping, the trip to Chicago on Saturday. We always have such fun.


This card was made using the SU set Thankful Thoughts. I water colored the pumpkin and put Crystal Effects on top.


Thanks for looking & have a great day!

Sunday


I love Sundays. We get to sleep in a little, have a leisure breakfast, then off to church. After church we come home and watch football the rest of the day. Go Chicago Bears! Yep, I love Sundays.


This card was a fun one today. I colored it with SU markers and added Crystal Effects to the butterfly wings. I also added dots to the wings.


Thanks for looking! Have a Super Sunday!

Happy Halloween!







BOO! Happy Halloween to YOU! Today is the class Halloween Party. Grace is Minnie Mouse and Sam is Indiana Jones. They are very excited and it will probably be this way until Christmas.
Trick or Treating was Thursday night since SJ has a playoff game tonight. Let's Go BEARS!!!! We are going to the game and will be cheering the Bears on to victory!
Today's cards is one of my favs. It was very fun to put together. I made them for the kids teachers for Halloween. I usually send in Carmel Apples, but everyone is eating healthy and I thought this was a good substitution. I totally copied these cards from Dianne. I just used different paper and a different witch stamp. Dianne makes the most beautiful cards. Check out her gallery at SCS. It is awesome! I would post the link but I am unsure how to do that.

Thanks for looking & Happy Halloween!

Good Works...




Good works are links that form a chain of love - Mother Teresa




Isn't that a wonderful phrase. I like to think of card making as good works...hopefully the cards I make and send to people will create a chain of love. Wow, that is pretty deep for me on a Thursday morning. Perhaps I should go back to bed before I hurt myself. LOL!




I created this card using my brayer (love that tool...just don't use it enough...I get very inky fingers when I do). The Stampin' UP! set that I used is called Inspired by Nature. It has awesome images and phrases. You can find it on page 100 of the Fall-Winter IB&C. Don't forget if you want to place an order just visit my web site. It is all set up and you can order directly off of it. http://www.twinmom320.stampinup.net/ Shopping made simple!




Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
