This card looks great horizontally or vertically. Feels kinda like spring doesn't it. We have had some colder weather here on the West Coast so I am ready for spring - I hate the cold!!!

Here's another one .....These are sooo easy to make.....buy a glass block or two....they're addictive - lol then get your husband to drill a 1 1/2 to 2" hole in the side with a diamond drill bit, wash and dry the block oout.....then cut out some wrapping paper (not the foil kind) and cut it to 7 x 7 or the size of your block, put some double sided adhesive on the block and attach your paper to it. I used three strips of double sided adhesive so that when I attached the paper I could do it in small sections because the paper will quickly stick whatever it touches. This way you can just press the first third of the paper down on the tope before you remove the backing for the second section. Then after the paper is adhesived down (is that a word?) then put some double sided adhesive on top of the paper and peel off the backing. I then took some tiny bead or sugar beads and smoothed them all over the block and both sides. Then you just have to wrap your beautiful ribbon around it and Voila! There it is. I can't take credit for the fabulous bows. I cheated and used the "Bowmaker" I bought at Michaels. I think these will make fabulous gifts and hope you get a chance at making one for yourself. Don't Inge and Kelly look so proud of their creations??? LOL!
I've been busy preparing for Christmas - so much to do - so little time. I'm sure you can all relate to that. I had some friends over and we made these glass blocks. We were all really pleased with how they turned out. What do you think?
As you can see I have some new stamps I bought and am having a lot of fun creating....What do you think of this one...
Here's a cute little puppy.....hope you like it....
It's the beginning of Christmas card mania. Here's one I made....Hope you likeit...
When I saw the image on this Cuttlebug folder I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card with it. I just love the whole image and didn't want to put anything on it to detract from it. I used red stickles for the centers of the pointsettias and then white opal fabric paint on the inside snowflake. That's it,. Cardstock is SU Real Red. What do you think?
Well, it's just about over for another year. I cannot believe that we did not have one person come to the door!!! As you know we recently moved so we weren't sure what the neighbourhood was going to be like on Hallowe'en. We have a fairly large Asian community here so I don't know if they celebrate Hallowe'en or if there are not any little kids in the area. With working all day it's hard to know what goes on around here during the day. Soooooo,,,,,,I can feel those cute little chocolate bars already attaching themselves to my hips. LOL! One of our next door neighbours kids (well he is about 18 or 19 yrs old) came over to show us the new little pit bull puppy that they just got. He is 9 weeks old and sooooo cute! They named him Hollywood....He wanted some advice on how to start potty training and said that the puppy just rips up the training pads! LOL! Ohhh I remember those days very well. Our dogs are already on in years - we have three that are 15, 14 and 10 yrs old....The fellow mentioned that he will be taking him for obedience training. I sure hope it all works out for them. The fellow is going to start pre- med classes next year so it will be interesting to see what happens to the dog then. I can't stand people that are irresponsible about their pets - it is one of my pet peeves.....so I will be the invisible guardian and will be watching....
Anyway, excuse my rambling - here is a card I made the other night. Hope you like it...
Time to start breaking out the Christmas cards - Hallowe'en is just around the corner. Here's a card I made.
