Some New Goodies!

Hello!  Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  It is hard to believe that October is almost over.  I know a lot of people had snow in the last 24 hours, thank goodness we didn't yet. 

I wanted to drop by and post about a few new stamps that I got in this week. Trying to expland my horizons!! LOL.

I have had a lot of requests for more sentiment stamps.  Here are a few from Just Rite Stamps.  These fit on the stampers from Just Rite, or you could mount them on cling foam.



Then here is something new from Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz


And a few more La Blanche





The new Magnolia Stamps will be here Monday!!
Coming very soon, new Pixie Cottage Stamps!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Is there a nurse in the house?? Well, yes there is!


Okay, I'm backkkkkkkk!!
I am happy to say I had some time to put a few cards together last week.



I just love Mo Manning's stamps, be it digital or rubber, and when I saw this nurse there was no doubt I would be buying that one. I mean... this has to be the cutest nurse ever! And being a nurse myself... well that says it all.





I have to show you the inside, because I am just loving this line of paper! It is from Kaisercraft, called Miss Nelly.  Kaisercraft is really becoming my favorite papers... yes, it is even surpassing Basic Grey. I cannot believe I just said that!  I also read over at SCS someone was asking to see the insides of the cards people posted, so in honoring that request here it is.
In addition to the paper I also used my Copic markers to color the image, and some opalines from Basic Grey.  Sentiment stamp was purchased at Pat Catan's, not sure of the manufacturer.  If you are interested in getting in to Copics or adding to your collection you may be interested in my Copic Club.

It is really a pretty simple card. Personally, I am just happy to get any card done!  My daughter has had me downstairs making cards a few times in the past week... so yah!!! I will have my own cards to post for a change.  And I should take pictures of her and post those too.

 
I would like to enter this card in a some challenges.

Crafts 4 Eternity has the them Anything goes (ingredients are in my post)
Simon Says Stamps also is Anything goes
4 Crafty Chicks is Anything goes
365 Cards: Day 215 is Lovely layers (5 or more)
CES Challenge is Pretty Girls
Speedy the Cat wants Polka Dots
Crafty Purple Frog wants Lots of Layers
Inspire me Fridays is Anything goes
Southern Girls Anythng Goes
Paper Sundaes is Lots of Layers
Cute Card Thursday is Animal Crackers

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Just wanted to share these photos

After sitting by the door and feeling the damp and cold draft all day at the store, (I think it felt like winter!)  I decided I needed some cheering  up.  Just where did summer go?

In addition to paper crafts, I love to garden and also like taking pictures.  So here are a few of my "hobbies" together. I don't pretend to be a master photographer, but I sure like having the pictures to remind me of my summer flowers, walking barefoot in the yard and feeling the warmth of the sun on my face.


My gladiolas


My butterfly bush (Buddleja)


and a pesky bee at my petunias


Hope this brought some sunshine to your day!

OWH Blog Hop



Hello, I am stopping by today to join in a World Cardmaking day Christmas blog hop with OWH (Operation Write Home).    Did you get involved in our challenge last week to celebrate OWH's birthday?   Are you familiar with OWH and what they do?  You can read more about how they support our military through creativity, and how you can help!  If you would rather donate monetary gifts you can also do that HERE.  OWH is a non for profit organization and I am proud to be a part of this wonderful blog hop!

In honor of this special occasion, I will choose one random winner from the comments left on this post today (you have till midnight EST tonight to leave a comment)  The winner will receive a 10.00 gift voucher for my store!!

Also, to honor this hop all orders placed today in my store will receive a free sentiment stamp and bottle of stickles of my choosing.  Alls you have to do is type OWH
in the comment section at checkout!

I asked the design team to help me celebrate this occasion, as I wasn't sure if I could get a decent card together.  So here is what they came up with.

Katie Tate used this adorable Gingerbread Tidla from Magnolia Stamps to make her card. In addition, I she used her Copic Markers, Spellbinders dies, Cheery Lynn doily (I have some of the new ones in stock now!) and even a Martha Stewart punch.  Also, notice the pretty little Prima flowers around her doily, what a nice touch.  I see she broke out her new Authentique 6x6 Christmas paper bundle.  (called Wonder)


And Janiel Corley used this cute little Pixie Cottage stamp Gavin The Elf, and I have marked him on sale in celebration of this blog hop!!




And I was actually able to get a simple little card done.
I used Hannah with Candle by Sandra Hammer, part of The Pixie Cottage stamp line.  I also used Kaisercraft's Christmas Carnival paper pad. I added some sparkle to her hat  and the star with some Stickles

Thank you everyone for joining us in this blog hop, and make sure to keep right on hopping to the next blog!  To follow the blog hop simply go to the OWH website and follow the thumbnail links!

Have a wonderful weekend!
