Today's card was made using scrap paper and punches. Using a small flower punch and 1" circle punch I punched away.  I arranged the circles and flowers according to color and patterns.  I stamped the "Think of you" attached to the bottom and added bling to each flower. Easy Breezy card. 


Enjoy your weekend and find time to craft and relax.

This Angel stamp is an Aunt Amy's stamp.  I enjoyed buying stamps from her but she sold her business when she got cancer.  I pray she is doing well and beat her cancer.  All her stamps were unique and she always had a card swap or something going on for all her customers.

I stamped the Angel, cut her out and attached her to the oval.  She was
colored using the Prismacolor markers. 

Inside the card.  The sentiment is a CTMH stamp set. 

I added Flower soft to her hair and flock to her wings. 

I purchased the ribbon from Walmart at their after Christmas sale.
Sending you Angels from above to protect all the ones you love....Have a super great day!!

Happy Wednesday to you!!  Today is the first day of the New Mexico State Fair. I will again be working at the State Fair inside the "Daisy Donuts" booth.  If you make it to the State Fair please stop by and say Hi.  The booth is located just down the street from Tingley coliseum where all the Rodeo/Concerts take place. 

My daughter's boyfriend asked me if I could make a card for his little cousin.  Whenever they see each other they always ask "Where is my millions ?" At one of the stores he found some play money that were Million dollar bills and he thought it would be cute to send them to him.  To bad he couldn't found a real bag of a Million dollars....hee hee

This stamp set is a mini clear set from a dollar bin I got at Joann's.
I colored the little guy using the Pismacolor markers.  I printed
the money off my computer and rolled it up to  tuck inside the flap.
 (Printing money off my computer doesn't sound like the right thing to be doing..LOL)

The money looks real.  Don't you think? 
  Thanks a Million for stopping by today!!!!

La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go was the choice of the month for the workshop/class held yesterday.  These are the cards I created for the workshop.  The color of the paper in this packet is very classy.  I used the stamp set included in the packet along with Jardin  stamp set (see page 39 in the catalog) to add background design to the paper. The ladies made a good choice on their packet and just love the stamp set and paper. 

This paper was stamped using the Jardin stamp set to add a butterfly,
writing, flowers and a stamp seal.  The Eiffel tower stamp came with the
workshop on the go set. The heart was made using a punch.

Do you like the bike?  It is part of the Workshop-on-the-Go packet.
The bike was stamped, colored and cut out.
Flower soft was added to the basket to give it a 3-D look of real flowers.

The stamp sentiment says:  Find what brings you joy and go there.

I made a second card same as above but used scrap paper.

On this card you can see the four different kinds of paper
the Le Belle Vie packet includes.  Each one has a different pattern on the back.
All of CTMH pattern paper is two-sided.
Thank you ladies it was a great workshop and wonderful choice of stamp sets.

I have lots of pictures to share with you today so go refill your coffee. this may take awhile. Yesterday was a very active day for my family and I.  My son Robert and his girlfriend Rena were in Triathlon in Rio Rancho at 8am.  They both did very well.  At 12:30 I had a Thanksgiving dinner at my house for my whole family.  We were giving thanks for my brother-in-law Tyson's great recovery from his brain surgery and to celebrate his birthday with a new look on life.  We also celebrated the return of my sister Cheryl and her son Steven to Albuquerque.  It was a good day.

I made some napkin holders for the Thanksgiving dinner.
First I  stamped and colored each one. I added glitter glue and cut each one out.

Here are the napkins I used along with the paper strips I cut to go around the napkins.
