For You With Love

Good day everyone and if you are local it's a bright sunny day! Quite warm out too which is nice. Doesn't do anything for the Christmas spirit though HA HA!! I'm not complaining, I'll take the warmth and sunshine while we can. Before we know it (like next week) it will be chilly and back to mitts and hats!

So I have a MILLION people in my life with November birthdays. SO I made a few of the same card to be prepared for them all. This is a layout that I cased from Beate's Blog. I didn't enter my card into her weekly sketch because I did it late. I just needed a layout and hers was so fun. This is my version. I am LOVING the new Kiwi Kiss colour. SO versatile!! I hope you like it!!

Take care and enjoy the sun.

RECIPE:
PAPER: Bashful Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Bella Rose DS Paper

STAMPS: Riveiting, Upsy Daisy

A Historical Day (and Happy Holidays)

Good day all!!
As I am writing this I am watching the TV and watching Obama speak as the newest elected President!! WOW, amazing! The first African American President....history is made!! Congrats to America!!

This card was one that we made in my Christmas card class some time ago. Now that Halloween is overwith, I am all about Christmas cards, boxes, ornaments etc!! GLITTER, GLITTER and more GLITTER!! This is a super simple card with a Baja Breeze base and DSP. I used the stamp set called Big On Christmas. So hard not to use the snowman stamp....I LOVE SNOWMEN but I really wanted to use another one this time.

I hope you all like it!!
Take care

Festive Sunday?????

Hey all,
Well I know everyone does festive Fridays BUT today is Sunday so I'm doing festive Sunday. This card I cased from Kim Van Diepen's blog. I changed it up a bit but essentially the layout and idea is the same. I LOVE KIWI KISS and CHOCOLATE CHIP together. SOOOOOO vintage looking I think!! I hope you like it!!

Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (although it feels like Christmas!!)

Hey all,
Sorry it's been a while. I have started taking a kickboxing class and it's in the evenings so it's really taken over my stamping time. I've decided it's much needed for me. It's like therapy to smack the poop out of those bags. Just love it!!

So here is a Halloween card I made with the Ghostly Greetings paper (LOVING IT!!) It's hard to believe that Halloween is tomorrow considering the amount of snow we have! I am itching to get my tree up!! I am a Christmas nut so once Halloween is done the tree will go up. OK I will wait til mid November then!

Happy Birthday to my hubby Paul (tomorrow). We will head on out for dinner to celebrate on Saturday night. YUM!

Take care all and enjoy trick or treating!!

Snow Swirled

Hope you enjoy all!!
Take care......Paula :)
