Simple September Birthdays!

It was quite a month of birthdays and why not celebrate them with a pretty easy layout and card? Most of these items were already waiting to be put together! It gets them out the door faster! 

  

 I love the Pumpkin Pie with the felt flowers! 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Have a great day! 

Hug the ones you love tight!

Winter Rose Pin

This pin was a part of my mom's Birthday gift. I just had the chance to see her on Saturday - therefore, that is why it wasn't posted sooner -- not that I even think she visits here, but you never know when the mood may strike. I took other pictures, however, the camera went missing - and I think it was found in a certain 13 yo's room - but I didn't go chase it down- so once I do, you will get the card that I made to be with this.

This was clipped on the bag that had a eReader LED Light on it. She's into that electronic book stuff.. though I love to read, I cannot get past the pages I TURN, and the smell of the paper/ink/binding, etc.. but if it happens for me - I am sure I will quickly forget what it was like to carry a weekend bag around as a purse when I travelled with my books in {{WINK WINK}}.

For now, though please enjoy the pin- it was easy to make. I did a little sewing - as much as sewing a button on.. it was easy and I hope she liked it. The center is actually eggplant, but really looks black. Oh well.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!!

Red Delicious

I have fallen so deeply in love with Kraft paper, I have to hid it not to use it all the time! That isn't a BAD thing, its just that I do not want people to 'get bored'. I love the clean look of it with the colors.. .again, there isn't anything bad about it... but still.

I have designer paper that just sits in the bin and I really do not do much with it.. lately I just want to add a 'taste' of it. Not too much, but enough of BAM!! that is blends well. So again, I am using this same pattern as the purple cards, but with other colors...

It really is Kraft paper.. I promise..

Wasn't sure which I liked better... to stem or not too stem... so I made a few of each!

Thank you for looking! Have a great day!

Purple rain

Last night, we had some very severe storms in the area. I was a lucky one who got to start my drive home in some of it, then due to passing into another county, it lightened up alittle more, but when I got home, luckily, it just opened up and poured! It was so fast and heavy, the plants all got beat down, and I heard my squash plants screaming for it to stop. Hours later, it lightened up - no more thunder and lightning - then at midnight or so it must have stopped.

I got to hid out in my craft area, not only because I find the rain soothing but the quality of TV these days is frightening! I did manage a few hours in my latest book as well. I made 14 cards last night. I finished a swap I am to mail out today, and I gathered ideas for a shoebox swap on Tuesday night. Overall was a successful night. OH AND I did some cleaning up in the studio of the stamps and mainly paper laying around.


I haven't used purple in a lifetime, so I thought it was a place to start. I want simple. Since again some of these are going to the troops. Simplicity at its best.

Center of the card I just stamped a flower from Petal Pizazz that has the same shape as the small felt flower shown here.
