HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MONDAY!

 

Marian's Mother's Day Card.

I don't know about you, but when I am with my children, everyday is Mother's Day!  :-) I had such a lovely weekend.  And I received this beautiful card from my friend Marian!  She did a great job of cutting out all those embossed flowers, wouldn't you agree?  And here are some wonderful cards from Karie that she created for Mother's Day and quite frankly, I think you can pretty much use them for any kind of celebration.

I think this embossed card sample by Kaye makes a beautiful
card for Mother's Day or any occasion.  And here is one of my
favorites I made years ago:

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and thanks again for these beautiful card samples everyone!  Happy Embossing.   :-)  Donna

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!

Buenos Dias everyone and Happy Cinco de Mayo!  My family and I are convinced we are part Mexican because we can't get enough tacos, enchiladas, salsa and chips, etc.  You name it and we are there!  Oh yum.  And look at this adorable embossed card I just got from Karie, above.  OMG ... it is so cute.  Thank you so much Karie.  I love it.

How will you celebrate this day?  Karie says she will be having a Corona and I'll be making Bean Enchiladas (recipe below).  Oh gosh, I am salivating already.  Adios ... until next time.

:-) Donna.

SLEEPLESS IN SAN DIEGO!

 Good morning!  One thing you may not know about me ... I don't sleep!  I've been like this all my life, but I think as I get older (and I will be 76 this year, yikes), I am sleeping even less.  I'm not a napper so I don't ever "catch up" even if that were possible.  My average is about 4 hours and the first hour or so, I am in a deep sleep and my husband says I snore, but I don't believe him!  LOL

I am hoping to post some spring cards soon and in the meantime, Karie reminded me she made a Mother's Day Step Card last year and I just had to post it again.  I think during this pandemic there are a lot of people who are stuck at home and receiving a homemade card just might brighten their day! And while you are thinking about that, here is Karie's very cute card to inspire us all.  

Happy embossing, :-) Donna

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 here is a sweet chocolate Spring bunny from Barbara!
