WE GOT SNOW!

It is absolutely unbelievable! Although it didn't accumulate or stick it actually snowed here yesterday. God is good! It was so beautiful! I pretended it snowed enough to blanket everything and build a snowman. It was heaven. Yes, I'm going to post one more snow card. This stamp belongs to my best friend, Sheela, and she shared it with me. It is a beautiful image from Stamp Rosa. The DP is Daisy D's from a couple of years back, but so pretty. I colored the image with my pencils. Ribbon unknown and the twigs I cut from a wreath I bought in the clearance bin at Michael's. So much joy, I hope all your wishes come true this year.

Okay, Okay!

Well, I've given up on the snow for now anyway. Many years back we did get some snow on Valentine's Day. Still some hope left! Let's bring on the Spring which means another one of my favorites - FLOWERS! One of God's many beautiful creations and gifts to us. This card is a Penny Black image. Sooooo pretty. I stamped it with versafine onxy black ink and colored it with pencils. The paper is from my huge scrap pile and sorry the name was missing. I'm sure some of you might recognize it. Ribbon unknown. I hope this brings you the joy it did me.

Oh I wish....

Well, it topped out at 77 degrees today. Nice and cozy, wouldn't you say? I don't think I'm gonna get my snow. Thanks bunches for wanting to send me some. Just put it in a stamped envelope and mail it off! I wish it was that simple. Around here, they do think I've lost my mind. I'm giving you more snow cards. This is a Paper Inspiration stamp paired with the beautiful Scenic Route DP paper. The wooden snowflake I found at Michael's and ribbon is the always on sale ribbon from hobby Lobby. I really appreciate you letting me share my bliss with you! A really WARM Texas size hug!

Wishing for snow

We very, very seldom get snow here in northeast Texas. I wish for it every year, and all of my friends think I'm nuts. There has got to be nothing prettier than a fresh a blanket of snow on everything. Just look at the Thomas Kincaid pics. Am I living in a fantasy world? Here is my snow card. The image is a Paper Inspirations stamp. The DP is Cosmo Cricket wonderland/pine cones. I LOVE this paper! Ribbon is some of the sale ribbon from Hobby Lobby (what a deal) as is the little silver ornament. thanks for taking a peak! Warm Winter Wishes everybody!

Christmas Visit

First, I want to thank you all for visiting and supporting me on my blog. All of my dear friends mean so much to me. This is another image from Paper Inspirations called "A Christmas Visit". He is so cute. I stamped him with stazon black on beckett expression paper and colored him with my pencils. The DP is Cosmo Cricket wonderland cocoa/peppermint. Then I microglazed (some awesome stuff) the image. The ribbon is Hobby lobby's always on sale ribbon. Thanks again for visiting. If you like the blog leave me a comment and your blog address. I love to surf for new stamping or crafting art. X's and O's Lori

Old St. Nick

I really love vintage stamps, but then again I love any kind of stamps. Don't you? I think we're in trouble! I made a new friend recently that is a scrapbooker and she wanted just a small introduction to stamping to make a card for a family member. I just looked at her and smiled. Need I say more? Back to Old St. Nick. It won't be long now before we see him. For this card I stamped Paper Inspiration's Old St. Nick and colored with pencils. The DP (Designer paper) is Cosmo Cricket Be Good/peppermint. The sentiment is a sticker from Stampendous. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Well!

This card expresses my sentiments exactly! Isn't he just the cutest? Christmas day is quickly approaching. Don't you wish you could stop time for a few minutes at a time? Like around midnight when your creative mojo is going strong and your body is screaming go to bed!Oh well, both of these stamps are by Judith and DP is Basic Grey's gingerbread/orange peel. Too cute! Thanks for stopping by!
