MDS Monday - Ice Storm

Welcome to Monday! Did you have a good weekend??? Schools are still closed in much of middle Tennessee because of hazardous roads in back areas and treacherous sidewalks and ground at many of the schools.  It's still cold here, so there's not a lot of natural help for de-icing! :)

I took all these pictures a week ago. It was simply beautiful, breathtaking, and dangerous. I'm so grateful to have warmth, shelter, food, and many, many things to do without going stir-crazy. :D

This was SUCH a simple page! It took me all of 10 minutes to put together, and that was mostly trying to get the lettering for my title the way I wanted it. :D I still think you need to download MY DIGITAL STUDIO for your free trial!!!! What's stopping you?!??!

OK, I'm outta here! :) Have a wonderful day - and make the time to stamp SOMEthing!

A Touch of Spring

Happy Weekend! :)

I don't know about you, but it's been icy/snowy and definitely WINTER here this week. I'm not complaining - it's February, and it's SUPPOSED to be winter! :) But I was ready for a little sunshine.

So, I started this card out, thinking I was going to do a white on white. But it didn't want to work that way. :)

That's the Spring Flowers texturz embossing folder (page 19 in the Occasions Mini), sponge on the raised parts and the edges with Daffodil Delight. The "thanks" is also from the Occasions Mini, the Hello You thinlits dies on page 31. The inside is stamped on a piece of Daffodil Delight, so there's lots of sunshine with this card! :)

It's pretty quick and easy. :) And bright and cheerful! :)

OK, I'm outta here! Stay safe, warm, and dry this weekend! Take some time to stamp something!

MDS Monday - Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? Now about your weather? We're getting wintry mix here - it's cold enough to be snow, but up where the clouds are, it's warm. So we're getting ice. I'm so not going anywhere today! :D

We're not big on Valentine's around here. I've NEVER liked the day, and it's never really all it's cracked up to be. :) The best one I ever had, as a matter of fact, was in college when three friends came over and made me dinner. :D

ANYWAY. Kenn brought me home chocolate-covered strawberries - one of my faves, and these are pretty low-carb because it was thin dark chocolate, mostly! :) - and some roses from Kroger. There were four colors of roses, but this is my favorite picture that would fit in an oval. :D  Super simple page, Melon Mambo and Whisper White, one stamp, one "punch", and voila! It's done. :)

OK, I'm outta here! Maybe I'll take some time to create something today. Or maybe I'll take a nap... :D

Have a wonderful day! If you're stuck at home, maybe you should take the time to download your trial version of MY DIGITAL STUDIO here and play with it for thirty days! It's SO much fun!

Card Sketch Interpretation!

Welcome to Wednesday! I'm sorry I'm having such a difficult time getting back in the swing of blogging; I just don't want to focus on anything, seems like. Part if it may be that Kenn's leaving for Oregon in just over a month, and I'll be leaving in just over two months; making plans, feeling like I'm in limbo - YOU know. :D

ANYWAY. Today, I wanted to show you this card; I found a card sketch I didn't want to change too awfully much, and picked out my colors. They're Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, and Melon Mambo embossing powder. :) The butterfly is from the Occasions Mini's butterfly thinlets dies. The stamps are from my FREE Sale-A-Bration set, SIMPLY WONDERFUL. The little flower is just perfect for this pretty card! The vellum isn't textured, but I did tear the bottom edge, just to give a little more texture. :)

OK, I'm outta here! Have a wonderful evening, and be sure to make the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!
