designer backgrounds

I saw an article today with some really neat backgrounds for Christmas. So this week I gonna play with the technique and other stamps to make different background papers. I know for my friends and family you are probably saying that "twin" has taken over again. One day my cards will sell and maybe I will write a book. Oh sorry I drifted off... I'm back now.
Anyway after you stamp the background use the same stamp(snowflake in this case) and stamp with watermark ink then emboss. It makes a great background for a scrapbook page or a card. Here is some paper that I made and later I will most the cards....but not today.

Happy Holidays!!!

The holiday season is finally here! Thanksgiving flew by sooo quickly all I can remember is COOKING! Every one had a great time but it's not the same without MOM. We all laughed and joked about it being so quiet at my dad's house out of the usual crowd of 20 something only about 10 were at the table. As soon as we said it was too quiet the door open and in came three more kids and the noise level went up!(That's more like it)
To all the friends and family in the military we pray for your safe return. Andrea keep your head down and hurry home. To my family and friends Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday

I have been away for a minute. But I now I am back!!! The craft show was a little disappointing but a good learning experience and a way to make some contacts, which I did. I need to get started on birthday and anniversary cards but Christmas cards are still stuck in my head. I would like to wish a Happy birthday to all my friends and family in October. The age is not really important it's the thought that counts!!! So happy Birthday:

Quentin

Last but not least Aunt Tressie

Learning something new

Well I have told everyone that I can think of that I have a blog. Now what do I do with it? I guess I will keep posting my creations for you to see (or buy). I have really been working on Christmas cards and it is hard to switch modes to do anything else. Keep checking back to see what is new.

New beginings

Oh my goodness I got a blog! This is something new so bare with me. Out with the old and in with the new! After twenty three years on the same job it is almost over (Nov. 21st). When one door closes another opens. Now it's time to make it "do what it do", keep it movin! This is some of my recent work for Christmas I hope you like it. PEACE.
