Busy busy busy

Quick post. I have been working outside for the last 3 days and have been so tired that I just drop when I come in. It is suppose to rain today so maybe I can get rested up. We got our yard landscaped where we had the pool and deck. Then we have a huge building that we used for our woodshop that was flooded so we finally got in it to start cleaning it out and getting it ready to put our woodworking equipment back in. A busy week ahead as long as the weather holds out.
Here is a Christmas card I finished. Pretty simple card.

Have a great day all. I am off to enjoy your wonderful creations and blog hop.

Cased cards

Thanks for stopping this morning. I found a card at (http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2008/04/simple-birthday.html)  a while back and finally decided to case it. I used a background from google and used my paper crimper and added the quilled flowers and cut butterflies.

Have a wonderful day!

You make me Smile

Hope all is having a great day so far. I got up to no internet again. I am beginning to think my modem is trying to act up. I will have to do some major troubleshooting later. Right now, I wanted to get this posted and then check out all the beauties today for some inspiration since it is raining again. 

I don't have anywhere to buy the sparkle medium in the US. Anyone know of a place let me know. I made my own somewhat with this one. I used white glue and ultra fine glitter and mixed to consistency to stencil. I had the stencil that someone game me so I thought I would use it. Turned out pretty good. I was playing and was not sure I could pull it off so I used a plain white card blank. I stamped the "you make me smile" after and added the gems. 

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day.

Cutout Topper

Morning all. I made the topper from the Silhouette file: leaf and flower a2 cut out card. I then added the quilled flowers with gem centers and the butterfly from my stash. It is storming here with very high winds so my internet is going in and out. I will eventually make my rounds today.

Have a wonderful day and THANKS for the visit!

Circle cards

Morning to all. Yesterday was a relly gloomy day so I spent the day inside making these. I found the pattern at http://aspoonfullofsugarcrafts.blogspot.com/p/free-silhouette-files.html. There are a few free silhouette cut files there including Winter Village (Church, house, house2 and school). Those may me my winter plays.

I used the  Geometric Circles Card and played with different colors and ways to use it. The hardest was when I decided to use the negative part on a card...Tried my patience!

Brilliant idea of using the waste...

Have a wonderful day!

Holly

Quick post this morning as my sinus problems are back full force this morning. This is a card I made for a dear friend. I used decoupage, teabag folding and quilling on this one. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for stopping.

Bird Lady

Good morning everyone. For those of you that do not know me, my son lives in Savannah Georgia. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is my favorite movie and I am pretty sure it is because I feel closer than the 13 hour drive to my son while watching the movie. Savannah is a beautiful city and so full of history that I can never get enough of it while I am visiting.

My project yesterday was to paint the "Bird Girl" that my hubby bought me a while back. We went to see the original statue but it had been relocated because people was chipping pieces off for souvenirs and the museum was closed at the time of our visit. This is a link to learn more about the movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119668/

Now we have to build the platform to place it in a corner behind my butterfly bush and get 2 artificial birds for the nest and she is ready for our front yard.

Have a safe day and thanks for the visit.
