Top Ten (plus 1) :)

Here are my Top Ten for 2011 (plus 1... I couldn't resist the Birthday Banner I made for my daughter's 5th birthday in October!).

No particular order, although I do love the ones near the bottom as much as the ones at the top!

Enjoy!

PTI December blog hop


Welcome to the PTI "Leftover" blog hop!

I had made several sympathy cards and then I made a mini album for my son's teacher and used  an image in All Booked Up.  Plus, the pattern paper and misting spray had been around for a couple of other projects.  So, here is the outcome.  Pinefeather is not the usual color of choice for me, but I think it turned out okay.

Happy Boxing Day to my Canadian friends!

Enjoy!

Sending you


I actually CASEd a Betsy Veldman card (but of course today when I try to blog the card... I can't find the original!) and pulled this off with OA paper and PTI supplies.

Enjoy!

And Merry Christmas!

Lots of Cards Today




One month shouldn't contain the need to make so many sympathy cards when most of the recipients are in their 30s... but that is how the end of November was for many of my friends and their family.  I'll say it again... tell those you love how much you cherish them.  Put aside your differences and cling to your similarities.  Give them a hug! 

Enjoy!

Photo Finisher sympathy


I love the combination of these colors.  Photo finisher dies were just made for the perfect touch on a clean and elegant card.  Finally broke out the mini-pearls and so glad!

Enjoy!

MIM: Pleated Ribbon & PTI: Pages 30 min LO





The top page (left side of the layout) is for Leigh's Pages w/ Papertrey for a 30 minute LO. I used a sketch from this site and had completed my son's so I was sure I could do my daughter's in the time limit. I wanted to use the Make it Monday: Pleated Ribbon challenge so I used a bit of Terracotta Tile grosgrain ribbon as an accent to her page.

Now, for an apology of sorts.  I have neglected my blog for the first time in a long time and neglected the ladies I follow as well.  However, I have used my time to craft (a lot!) instead of surf (or even pin!).  So, I've decided to post the pictures of the things I've made without any (or much) detail.  If you want to know, please email me or leave a comment.

My goal by Christmas is to get back in the groove of visiting all of my blog friends too!

Enjoy!
