Guest Designer Audrey

Here's a sweet card that I received a little while ago from Audrey R of Texas.  I just love the cute little bear, how she did the pearly wings and the cute heart die cuts.  Thanks so very much Audrey!

I'd love to see your creations too!  Email them to me htondre@aol.com

Pressed Leaf cards

Here's a sweet and simple card that I made using some pressed leaves given to me by a dear lady at my church.  These were given to me a while ago now, she would often hand me a book in which she had been putting leaves or flowers in, or a book  that she found years later with pressed items in.  Then I make cards with them often of which get sold in the church's bazaar.  I do so miss my church and my dear friend.

You are weird

To begin the week on a funny note, here's a hilarious card from Taylored Expressions Grumplings line that I had to make for the DH when I saw this sentiment.  Very much his personality.  HA!  I think he will get a laugh out of it.

I also think he will acknowledge his weirdness with pride. Definitely

Frazzled Cat

Here's a great stamp from Limited Runs today.  It's a frazzled cat that's kind of the way I feel in the mornings, lol, though in Texas I am usually desiring diet dr pepper in the morning more than coffee.  But I will still occasionally take a donut please (hold the sprinkles).

Sometimes

Here's a lovely head shot stamp from Unity stamps.  I added it with a sentiment "Sometimes the people around you won't understand your journey. They don't need to, it's not for them."  I added some great embellishment ribbon from Turkey,  I love the brown circles with the sequins.  So beautiful

Looking Foxy

Here's the cutest image from Unity Stamps.  I just loved this cute fox.  I had to add some great Turkish lace to this card to make a CAS card today.   Did I ever tell  you guys we have a fox at our school?  I mean, we are not a school in the country, but a school in the middle of a million person metropolis.  WHAT?  every now and again the fox pops out during the day to she chagrin of the staff and the delight (or scare) of the kiddos.

Sea Urchin

This cool stamp and sentiment comes from Hero Arts.  For those of you who don't already know me, I love to collect fossils by checking out my local ditches and sea urchins (and the spines) are my favorites! so I do so love to come across a stamp set with some sea urchin stamps.  I wish I could say I have found a stamp with a sea urchin with it's spines attached but no luck there,  I have found them separately though.

I added some very elegant Turkish lace that I got this past summer.  It's actually two sided, so this is half of it.  I just loved it, it's so gorgeous.

Have a great Monday everyone!  It's now week 9 of school.

I can't believe we are just a week to the end of Sept!  Wow, the first six weeks of school is almost up.  Pretty soon we will be hitting nine weeks and hopefully will not have any "leveling" (for those of you outside of the education industry, that's when the schools decide if there are TOO few or TOO many teachers in a certain place so they take away teachers or add teachers to certain schools, a shocking change for both teachers and students at nine weeks into the school year!)
