Two Merry Cards!

Greetings to you! Thanks for stopping by. I have made 2 cards to put in my etsy shop and thought I would give you a sneak peek. The lower image with the bells is a vintage coaster! I LOVE it!  The upper image is a Crafty Secrets image of the little girl. Poinsettia flowers are from K and Co..  Be back soon!

Christmas Cards and Memory Books

Seems early to be making Christmas cards but the season is rapidly approaching.  I hope you and yours have a wonderful, happy, family filled Thanksgiving. I know I have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I am posting a mixed bundle of cards and journals that I mailed off this morning to Texas. A friend of mine carries my cards in her shop on the square in Decatur, Texas named Memory Lane Antiques and Gifts. If you're ever on the square you should stop by for a visit.

I recently won a contest and want to give credit to the two groups who made that possible. One is http://todayscreativeblog.net and the other is www.scrapbooking-for-less.com/.  I received my $50.00 box of goodies and have enjoyed using them to make the cards pictured below. I follow Today's Creative Blog on Twitter and I have shopped at scrapbooking-for-less, their prices are great. Check them out when you get a minute.


I have started my December Daily Journal foundation. I cannot wait to start assembling the pages and adding embellishments. I love www.shopellesstudio.com /products. Their numbers and journaling tags are great.  They have great calendar stuff, also.

Thanks for stopping by.....hope to see you back soon.

Digging for Treasure

I wanted to show you one of the uses I have found for the treasure that is the Mandeville Seed Company storage box and display case. I have put my etsy shop cards in the trays and it makes such a great storage spot for them. I love the way you can see each one and the different elevations. What a treasure.....when I wasn't really even looking. You never know what you may find when you go digging, right?  How many of you have found great treasures when you least expect?

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again. Have a great week!!!
