Felicity Card

Clear card front

Inside the card

We're getting the effects of Hermine today. Two inches of rain fell last night, and even more today, but we're happy since our grass, trees, and flowers all need the moisture.

It was a great day to play in the studio!
I love creating with the clear card bases from CTMH!

This birthday greeting is for a very special man who will soon celebrate his 89th birthday, God willing. He likes flowers and nature. And the Felicity paper colors & patterns are just perfect for this guy!

I learned to make the paper flower at the July Unit Meeting at Deb Butler's (my awesome upline) in Ohio!

I used: CTMH Clear Card base, Felicity* papers, Shimmer Gold brad (new fall item!), Nature's Ambience Chocolate Rub-on, "From Me to You" and "Cherish the Moment" stamps, Twilight and Autumn Terracotta inks

* the quality or state of being happy!

Wedding Memory Keeper Box

Our DD is a bridesmaid this coming weekend for her grad school friend, so I decided to make the special couple a monogrammed memory keeper box to store their special paper items such as announcements, shower invitations, wedding invitation, and their wedding service.

They've chosen to have a black & white wedding color scheme, and the Silhouette papers are perfect for this project.

Blessings as you begin your married life together, Anthony and Tonya, and may you live and love more each day!

My First Acrylic Album

Vacation photos have been sorted by day/location on the kitchen island...the acrylic album is on the front right corner waiting to be used.

The project went from this ...
to this!




I used more CTMH Emporium papers to create an acrylic album--the greens, blues, and yellows fit perfectly with the colors of our recent western Caribbean cruise.

Rub-on sentiments and flourishes in white and chocolate, white ric rac, brown hemp, and other embellishments, all CTMH items, help make this memory album special. I worked all day on this project and am so happy to finish it. What wonderful memories of a relaxing week!

The remainder of the photos are going to go into our album--on a one-page layout and in a page of photo pockets.

As I write this post, I'm watching snow fall (groan!) ... but even worse, my poor DH is wearing his mask and trying his darndest to get a skunk to find a different warm refuge than right under our deck.

She (how do I know it's a she?) isn't a very happy camper and has sprayed a few times already -- oh, how I hope we can get rid of this stink and not smell too bad for Easter.

We may need to make a trip to Aldi's for a case of tomato juice ... I'll keep ya posted.
