Poppystamps

Have you seen the latest release at Poppystamps? It's called Holiday Cheer and is filled with cute fall and winter dies. I'm sharing a card on the blog today featuring a few of them. It all began with this adorable new Nordic Birdhouse. Christmas in July, you might say! Pop over to check it out!

You're Pretty Darn Amazing

With the smoke from wild fires drifting down to Ohio, it was a good day to stay indoors and get a little crafty. I made a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches and Tic, Tac Toe challenges. 


I used a trio of some favorite retired Poppystamps products. The Whittle Frame, Whittle Lizard and Daisy Trio worked perfectly with a sentiment by PTI. Everything went onto a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" base. This works for a few of lines on the Tic, Tac Toe board. The left and center vertical or the center horizontal. 



My prayers go out to those impacted by the fires in Canada and those dealing with the smoke. Several activities and businesses closed in our area today. Take care, my friends.



Just Us Girls #832 ~ Oh Happy Day


Hello, my friends! Bobby has a fun summer Mood Board for you this week at Just Us Girls. So many options from the mix of photos and colors. I went with a simple card using a cute summer treat. Take a look...


I picked the popsicle treat from the photo and used my cute polka dot version from Impression Obsession. It's framed in a polaroid die cut (PPP) made from PTI paper. Red gingham is always so summery to me! I added a trio of little red blooms to mimic the poppies on the board and an embossed background to mimic the gingham. Everything went onto a light blue card base as a nod to all of the pretty blue skies in Bobby's photo. A simple sentiment by Carta Bella finished it off.

Okay, it's your turn now. Have fun!

Blogger issues...

Just curious if anyone else is having an issue with blogger? First up, my blog header has disappeared, not sure when that happened. Also, my email, Facebook and Pinterest buttons are just colored circles. Then there are the blogs that I follow. So many are not showing up in my reader. I know I can follow with email, and there are several blogs that I do, but even some of those aren't showing up for me. Ugh... technology...

Just For You

While hubby was working on some action softball photos of Sweet P's team, I had a little play time and put together a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Take a look...


My idea was to use a postage theme with my die cuts and stamps. I made a postage stamp using a Spellbinders die and a pretty little hydrangea stamp. Old Precious Remembrance Shop stamps were added too. Then I realized the graphic was a rectangle ~ OOPS! Sooooo, I added a couple of little banners to elongate my square postage stamp. What do you think, did it work? Hopefully the ladies at FMS will see the sketch in my design!

Thanks for stopping by!
