SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND RAIN HAS COME!

Good morning everyone.  Spring is on its way and my yard is so pretty ... filled with white and purple African Daisies and beautiful Iris.  And while I have 3 remaining Easter Cards I received to show you (see below), I want to mention that L.I. just released some very cute rain boots and umbrella Cut Outs (not templates).  Take a look at the L.I. Home Page when you have a chance.  And, if you happen to have similar brass templates you can create some really nice embossed images to get those spring juices flowing.  Here are a couple of cards from Karie ... and while I'm at it, let me also briefly mention that Karie does all her embossing on a window in her house (she has no light box).  This is one crazy crafter!  LOL

Thank you!

Thank you Karie for always supporting me with your wonderful ideas!  I hope to start my card classes again soon and I look forward to sharing more with you all.  Please stay safe, get vaccinated, and have an amazing day!  Crafting hugs, :-)  Donna

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Happy Easter everyone and leave it to Karie to come up with more cards last night!  For me ... these are some of her best!  I could not pick a favorite.  Take a look and enjoy your "Eggstra Special Day." :-)  Donna

Isn't this Step Card from Karie amazing?

And below are my cards.  I really enjoyed creating this year's Easter Cards with the latest Spring Cut Outs from Lasting Impressions.  I hope you found some time to make and send a card to someone to make them smile!  Happy crafting.  :-)  Donna

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY ... TOMORROW!

  March Calendar from Barbara.

 Hello everyone!  I have been trying to update my blog for more than two weeks.  However, my daughter's radiation and chemo treatments ended and no one told us it was going to get worse after treatment!  What?  OMG ... we are thinking just how bad can it get?  Well, I won't go into detail, but it has been awful and she's been so brave through it all.  Finally, I have a little time this morning and I so wanted to show you St. Pat card ideas from Karie!  These first few samples are Cut Outs from Lasting Impressions' Green Release. I love them!

Karie also did some embossing and this first one is my favorite!

I am afraid I had very little time to do much card making lately, but I managed to make a card for my granddaughter's 25th birthday AND one I fully intended to send to Karie (long before now) as a thank you for all of her beautiful cards and support (it is finally in the mail Karie)!  Here are my two "green" cards:

Madyson's Birthday Card.

Card for Karie.

I am looking forward to Corned Beef and Cabbage tomorrow.  I used to make it in a slow cooker ... that is ... until I got my Insta Pot!  Now it takes me 1 1/2 hours and it is the best I have ever had!  Woo hoo.  Wishing you all a Happy St. Patty's Day (tomorrow).  Hugs, D
