Brodie Christmas Card

Hello Everyone!

{{{Burrrrrr}}}} hope your all staying warm where ever you are!

 It has been soooo cold here in NE Ohio and lots of snow.

Guess we will have a white Christmas this year!!

 Well on to my card for today. I made this card as

my family Christmas Card it features my best friend,

Brodie!! Isn't he cute !!! LOL

He is the best dog I think I have ever had, even though

we have had some great dogs, he just has such a sweet

personality,and great temperment and loves everyone.

He is an Australian Shepherd/ Brittany Spaniel 3 yr old.

On this card

I used SU CS and designer paper from JoAnnes.

The ribbon and jingle bell is from Walmart.

My favorite punch again from MS, just love that punch!!

The word stamp is SU and I used gold EP.

His picture was taken at Pet Co

and what an ordeal that was LOL !!

He wanted to go visit with all the other dogs and

 people there waiting to get their pictures taken.

 He loves to be with them and barks until he can

 go see them. His two down falls are barking until

 he visits dogs and wanting to be petted by everyone!!

 LOL He is a true lover of others!!! We are working

 on those two aspects so he isn't pesty but other then

that he is very mild mannered.

Well enough of my bragging about my boy LOL!

Merry Christmas and remember in all the hussle and bustle

of the season that:

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!

Relax and enjoy each day!!

Quick Christmas Card

Happy Friday!!!

Tonight I want to share a cute little Christmas

 card I made. I made a set of these for my neighbors.

The image I used of the cute little puppy looks

alot like their little puppy, "Pepper". He's such

 a cutie and full of energy!! My Brodie loves

to run in our backyard with Pepper.

I used SU regular and glossy cardstock and designer
 paper from JoAnne's. The ribbon is from Michaels.
I also used my favorite MS punch, evergreen branch.
The snowflake punch is an unknown punch in my stash.
I chose white EP with versmark for the SU word
stamp on the front. The puppy stamp I got
 at Beescrappy in Medina but I am

not sure of the company name, sorry.

I hope you like my little cutie, I know its a break from the

 traditional Christmas images but I liked him and so

 did my neighbors when I took it to them.

Hugs to all

Joans Garden Challenge # 25

Hello everyone!!

Burrrrr it sure is cold here in NE Ohio today.

I took my dog out for a very short walk a little

 bit ago,I couldn't take the cold LOL!! I'm 

getting too old for that I guess.LOL

 Enough of that, here is my entry for Joan's

 fabulous Challenge # 25 today!! You must

 see the great prizes she is giving away!!

 3 dies for a total of over $284.To be eligible to win it,

go to Joan's Garden # 25 Weekly Challenge for

all the information. Hurry it ends Dec 9th!!!!

Here is some information about my card:

I used SU Cardstock, and Velveteen paper I got at

 a wonderful little Stamp Store in Mespotamia Ohio

 called"Stoltzfus Stamp Shack". The accessories are

from my stash. The stamps are from Heartfelt Creations,

aren't they great! I used Gold EP and a gold Pilot Marker.

Plus Glimmer Mist for added sparkle which doesn't

show well in my photograph, sorry. I stamped the
 image 2 times on to the velveteen paper using
versamark ink and then gold embossed it, then cut them
 out and layered different parts using dimensionals
and glue to shape them. It doesn't show well
 in the picture how layered it really is. I even
did the leaves the same way and then glued
 them directly over the original stamped image on the
 base of the card.

Joan's Garden Challenge #24

Happy Tuesday !!!!!

Today I want to share with you my card that I

am entering in Joans Garden's Challenge # 24

I had lots of trouble photographing it, for some reason

the colors would not come out right. Hum guess I need to

take some photography classes LOL.

Well here goes, it truly does look so different

 in real life, isn't that what we all say LOL!!

The challenge was to "Create a Thanksgiving card,

 Use something Fallish such as Leaves, Pumpkins or Indian

Corn (if you don't have a stamp use a leaf from

 your tree), use The color green and Some

kind of swirl or vine.

 The image I used is from Vintage Holiday Crafts. the CS

is from Su as well as one stamp. The other

stamp is from "My sentiments Exactly". I used SU markers,

Tim Holtz Distress inks and lots of dimensionals.

The ribbon is unknown from a friend. The paper is

 from Mirabelle, oh do I love their paper!!!

I also used a Provo Craft vine die. I cut and layered
several areas of the image to make it 3-D, not sure
if you can tell.I wish the photo was better but that's
how it goes I guess. Hopefully you

 will play along with Joan's Challenge too!

So until the next time hugs to you all!

Quick Thanksgiving Card

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Today I have a quick Thanksgiving Card I did

for some friends of mine. I used an image from

 an online site,Vintage Holiday Crafts.

I loved this vintage image and thought it would make

a quick and easy card. Well famous last words, it seemed like it

 took me forever for some reason, have you ever had one

of  THOSE days  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used a MS punch, SU cardstock, Ribbon from

Michaels, Designer paper from Mirabelle and a button
 from my stash. NOW it sounds easy, but duh ,it just
came together hard for some reason LOL. Oh well
 hope they like it. IF they only knew how long some of these
 cards took to make  LOL !

 Well hope your having sunshine where ever you are,

 its cool but sunny here in NE Ohio.

Blessings to all !!!!!!

Hugs

50th Anniversary Card

Happy Wednesday to all !!!

Hope your all enjoying this wonderful day.

Well today I have a very special card I want to share.

It's a card I made for some very dear friends who are

celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary soon.

As usual it's hard to see how fancy this looks

but in real life its very elegant & rich looking.

Not sure if you can tell or not but this was made

 using SU metallic gold CS. Plus I edged all of it with my gold

pilot marker, which I love doing, it adds such an elegant

touch to a project. The stamps used on this were from

 Rubber Stampede,Close to my heart, Sweet Stamps, & SU.

Nesties were used, including the brand new grands.

 I love them and a side note, several in the packs will actually

 work in my big shot machine,several are too large,

but do work great in the Grand Calibur

 machine ( My birthday present tee hee ). Back to

 the info LOL. Pearls are from Michaels. The flowers are Prima's

and the leaves are from Pat Catans, minus the wire LOL.

Versamark and gold embossing powder were used.

Lots of dimensionals were used to make it 3D layered. So

there you have it, my special card for a very special couple.

 I will be adding a personal  letter with their gift and

shipping it out to them very soon.

Would love to know what you think of it.

Until next time, blessings to you all!

Hugs

Joan's Garden Challenge #22

Hello my blogger friends!

Tonight I have a cute little Magnolia card to

 share that I made and taught at my last class.

Hopefully she fills all the requirements

 for Joan's Challenge #22. I think she is just

cute as can be, and she is 3-D which I love.

                                                                                  
                                                    It's hard to see how dimensional she is

and how much sparkle there is from all the

stickles. Sorry I am not very good at taking photo's.

So you will have just have to trust me LOL.

I borrowed this cute Magnolia stamp from my friend,

Kim,sorry but I do not know her name. But she is

 so much fun to work with.

 Here are all the dets:

 Nestabilities were used, as were SU & MS punches.

 I also used my swiss dot embossing folder.

The coloring was done using Prisma pencils

 and SU markers. The other stamps used were

SU as was the CS. The gold brads were in my

 stash. I put small dots all over the background

 inside the circle using my gold pen. Lots

of dimensionals were used in this card.

I hope you like my little cutie.

So now you have to go check out Joan's Garden if

 you haven't already! She has lots of great stuff for sale 

and a wonderful blog full of inspiration!!!! 

Hugs

Lana
