Christmas Lights Wiring

Don't you hate the frustration with Christmas lights each year?  Well, here is some wiring that wasn't as frustrating.  I forget that I have these wires in my stash and then when I bring them out, I vow to use them more often (Usually don't, though )   This image is by Meljen Designs and it just had to have some wiring on it !

Autumn Butterflies

Love this butterfly stamp by Our Daily Bread Designs, love the verse by Verve, and love Autumn.  Doesn't get much better than that.  I used the SU  Kaleidacolor ink pad for the multicolor stamping.

Fabulous Fun Friday

After several gray days, the sun is back out and it looks like we will have a fabulous day.  I love Autumn days.  (I know I sound like a broken record, but I love Autumn.  I made a couple Fall cards yesterday.  I will post them separately.  Here is my first one.  Lots of cutting but I like how it turned out.

The Great Pumpkin

Love that Charlie Brown movie.  I didn't grow pumpkins this year.  Wish I had and the grandkids wish I had.  Last year we had pumpkins that weighed 50 - 55 pounds.  Those were Great pumpkins too.
this image is a GKD stamp.

Multi Media Challenge

I was out of my comfort zone when I took on a new way of  stamping (for me) - using many forms of art media.  I used acrylic paint, gold paint, twine, metal embellie, cloth tag, staples, DP.  I actually like how it turned out but probably won't go this route too much 'cuz I'm not enough of an artist to think this way.

The Last Two Cards For The OWH Birthday Bash

How's that for a long heading?  Well, these are the last two cards that I made in response to the challenges at the OWH Birthday Bash and the last two that I will be posting for that occasion.  Of course I will keep making cards for OWH  but this is it for the Bash.

The first card above is done with a digital by Clear Dollar Stamps.  I love it because it is pre-colored.  Sentiment is part of the set.  Challenge - K & K sketch challenge http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/09/birthday-bash-2011-sketch-85-sponsored.html
Card below is also for a sketch challenge.  I used the digital sentiment offered at OWH
