Anything But A Card with Penny Black

 Stamps - Christmas Treasures 30-085 by Penny Black

Paper - Kraft and Vintage Cream

Ink - Jenni Bowlin Brown Sugar and Spice Tin by Ranger, Vintage Photo Distress by Ranger

Other - Vintage Envelope Die by Wplus9 Design

Happy Monday!

Today starts a new theme for the week on the Penny Black blog. You can visit the blog HERE!

I decided to make some gift card holders for our nieces and nephews. Please excuse my messy writing! I made 5 of them but they all look pretty much the same so I only photographed 2. It is a little sad that all of our nieces and nephews are old enough that they want gift cards or money for Christmas. I feel old! :)

Well... I hope you had a great week last week! We were super busy with lots of 'on the fly' plans and we had a blast. I got my Christmas decorations up, my house semi-cleaned, gifts wrapped, we saw Santa and had a picture made, we drove through to see some Christmas lights, I saw Breaking Dawn with a friend, and on and on. Like I said... busy but loads of fun (except the house cleaning)! :)

I also went through and looked at about 500 posts in my google reader. I started at over 1000 and went through and marked some of the company blogs, etc as all read. I had great plans to get caught up and comment on all of my 'usual' blog friends posts.... then I decided I was expecting a little too much of myself. So.... instead I commented here and there. I am down to 90 at the moment and will probably do the same .... just look... until I am back to 0. THEN I hope to stay caught up again! I promise to try!! :) Just wanted to let you know if you have noticed that I haven't commented lately. It has been a little crazy the past 2 months!

One more thing before I go... I have been meaning to 'talk' about this and I keep forgetting. I was reminded tonight when I was asked by someone what I do with all of my cards.

I, like I am sure many of you, could never use all of the cards, tags and bags that I make. I have given some to my mom and to friends. Recently I took a basket full of them (keeping a small stash for myself) to our church. Michael has the basket in his office. I sent an email to the staff and let them know that there were cards, etc in his office for their taking. I hope it will save them some money and/or encourage them to hand out more love! I plan to keep it stocked as I make more and more cards. I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before so that is why I am posting about it.... in case you hadn't either. You could take a basket of cards to a school... for teachers or to your church ... for the staff. Lots of things you can do to bless others with all of those cards you could never use. Just another option for you if you have wondered what to do with them all. Please don't leave me any praise .... that is not why I am sharing this with you. I just wanted to put the idea in your head! :)

OKAY.... enough rambling! It is late and I am REALLY sleep deprived! :) That makes me extra chatty! Plus... for the last 2 weeks... my posts were scheduled a week at a time so I didn't feel like I was really 'talking'! I guess I am catching up tonight! :)

Peace and Love!!

Friday Simple Stamping with Penny Black

Happy Friday!

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!

I wanted to show my last card for this months Simple Stamping Week over on the Penny Black blog. You can visit the blog HERE!

For my card today... I used 3248H Frosty and 3535F Snowflakes!

Keeping it short and sweet today!! Have a great weekend!

Peace and Love! :)

Wednesday Simple Stamping with Penny Black

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are having a great week so far and are looking forward to a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!

I wanted to show my card that is over on the Penny Black blog today. You can visit the blog HERE.

I used 3983F Star Noel! I used my Tsukineko and Stampin' Up markers to color the image and then stamp onto some white cardstock. Easy Peasy!

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

I will be back with one more Penny Black card for Simple Stamping week on Friday!

Peace and Love! :)

Tuesday Simple Stamping with Penny Black

Happy Tuesday!!

I wanted to show my card that is being featured over on the Penny Black blog today! You can visit the blog HERE.

I used 4108K Christmas Usher. Don't you just LOVE this stamp? I used a technique that I learned from a friend, Ashley, while she was crafting with me one day. I just used some line 'swoops' :) to color instead of filling in the entire image. I think that is something I will do over and over again being that I am not a pro at copic coloring!! Brilliant!!

I decided to just color part of the image and I think the 'swoops' of color go with the design of the stamp! Simple indeed! :)

Thanks as always for visiting!!

Peace and Love! :)

 Happy Friday!!

I am thrilled to be a part of the Paper Crafts magazine 365 Cards blog hop today!

"WOW" is all I can say about this rockin' issue... 365 gorgeous cards that will make you drool!

I discovered a lot of new days to celebrate throughout the year from 365 Cards. I love that!

I didn't know that there was a National Popcorn Day... did you? And... it happens to be on my husbands birthday! I think I have found a theme for his milestone birthday this coming year (he will be 40... shhhh)! :)

You can buy your own issue HERE and why not pick up a copy for a crafty friend! Christmas is right around the corner! :) Believe me... they would love it!  You can have fun throughout 2012 making and giving each other cards for all of those fun holidays!

I had a blast creating for this issue and am honored to have several cards inside its pages! It was a lot of fun researching those unique holidays and then using them as inspiration to create!

There are also so many great cards, in 365 Cards, for every day of the year. A little bit of everything!!
 
This blog hop is a way to give you 12 places for even more never-seen-before inspiration! Those Paper Crafts peeps just keep giving and giving! :) Love that about them!

Each designer along the hop was assigned a specific month and given the freedom to create a card based on whatever inspired us!

My month is May and because my wedding anniversary is in May... I created a card for my husband! :)

Paper - White and True Black by Papertrey

Ink - Cranberry by Colorbox, Bahama Blue and Onyx Black by Tsukineko

And that is not all... if you follow along the hop for more inspiration (links listed below) and you comment on those blogs... you will have 11 more chances to win a copy of 365 Cards.

And AGAIN... that is not all! :) If you go HERE to the Paper Crafts Connection blog... you can comment for a chance to win a mystery prize package and a copy of 365 Cards.... oooooh!!.. ahhhh!! :)

Ink - Fountain Pen and Vintage Photo Distress by Ranger, Real Red by Stampin' Up

Other - Doodlebug Jewel, May Arts Natural String, SU Corner Rounder and Dimensionals, Glossy Accents by Ranger, Prismacolor Color Pencils

Happy Thursday!

Today I am posting a couple of cards that I had made for Heartfelt Creations DT call. I had applied by email at the very last minute after seeing their DT call on SCS. Before I sent the email, I had gone to take a quick look at their stamps to see if I was interested because I was not aware of the company. I really liked that they seemed to have a lot of faith based stamps so I just went for it. One of those last minute impulse moves!

I made the first round and I was sent a couple of stamps and a set of dies to make 2 cards for the final round. While waiting to hear if I would make the DT, I was contacted by two other companies... asking me to join their DT! So... I had to bail out before the DT was announced but the owner was super nice and understanding so I wanted to make sure to tell you about them. You can check out their stamps HERE.

Speaking of... I prayed a long time ago asking God to show me if He wanted me to stay in this biz because of all the guilt I was feeling about the energy and time I spend. I also specifically asked at the time for Him to show me if He wanted me to be any design teams... that I would be asked. That sounds conceited a little bit but I assure you... I don't have a conceited bone in my body... maybe several mean ones ... but no conceited ones! Anyway... He continues to answer my prayer and His timing is always perfect.

All of that to say... I took what I had asked God to do.. into my own hands. I almost got myself into a position of ... if I made the team.. having to turn around and ask to be off of it.. which I would not want to do. OR... not be able to accept a DT position with the company that I haven't announced yet.

God wants only the best for me and this was just another lesson to me that HE is in control! He knows my heart and what my goals are. Those goals have changed over time and I know it is a result of God changing my heart to make His will... my goals. And I am more than good with that!

Peace and Love!

Thanksgiving Cards

Happy Wednesday!

I wanted to post a couple of cards that I made for PSA Essentials. The sentiments are from Purple Onion! I am being lazy today with supply lists!

I hope you have been having a great week! I am happy to report that I did make a few cards last night... first time in a few weeks! It felt GOOD!

I am feeling a bit behind in everything and I don't like that! If I was frequently commenting on your blog for a while and I haven't in a week or so... I am behind on my google reader. I will catch up soon I hope! :) I still love you!

Peace and Love!

Today I wanted to share a bag that I made a little while ago. I used some of Carvers stickers in his stash.

That always bums me out a little. Anyway... I can feel myself starting to ramble like I tend to do when I am tired... so I will end this post now! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Peace and Love!
