~Just One Word ~

Less Is More Week 47 Just One Word

gives me a chance to thank my girlies who really touched me with their gifts this year.

A couple of weeks ago, I participated in Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger, which was a Partridge in a Pear Tree....and last week's LIM was Music.

When I opened my stocking stuffers this year...my daughter said, "I remember you doing that challenge with a partridge in a pear tree so I picked this stamp".

Also, there was a music punch. ;)

Another punch was there, plus a stamp that had the word LOVE which I used here.

Being loved is one thing.

FEELING loved is another.

sniff.

To my girlies...

 who pay attention to what is important to me.

Supplies:

Craft Smart stamp,Studio G sentiment,Memento inks,Recollections punch,Sizzix hearts,Want2Scrap bling,Kaisercraft rhinestones,Georgia Pacific white cardstock

CAS-ual Embossing

CAS-ual Fridays

I did some "negative space" embossing...by die cutting a Sizzix snowflake and using it as a mask.

The Versamark inkpad was applied and after I removed the masks, I embossed with red glitter embossing powder.

That's it! ;)

Thank you for peeking in. ;)

Happy Cupcakeless Day!

CAS-ual Fridays Sweets and Treats #11

is YUMMY!

You have to check out everyone's work...they are sooo cute.

I finally got mine done. ;)

I was so happy with this card...

until I read the sentiment again.

Sigh

....now, my sister (the recipient)

will laugh at the irony.

Happy Cupcake Day with a picture of a cake.

She soooo gets me. ;)

I crossed out the cupcake for you.

Would you have noticed if I didn't say something?  

I just wanted you to know that I know what a cupcake looks like, ok?

Time is Fleeting ... Celebrate

"Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. " Isa 55:6

My husband has gone back to school.  It's so interesting and funny to hear what the college kids are like, 18 years since I was in that environment.  

Well, it is mostly funny, because he's a dad and looks at them from Dad's perspective. 

He gets furious when they wear shorts in 40 degree weather.

It irritates him to see them texting in class...

you get the idea. ;)

Anyway, back to time....

Did you know that many young people don't wear watches?

Why bother?

They use their phones to tell the time.

Such a little detail that I would've missed, but my husband catches.

 

Here is another Christmas card for

ODBD Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD38).

I used ODBD Time.

I know the clock isn't complete.  

I did that on purpose. ;)

I wanted it to look like it was deteriorating,

JUST LIKE TIME.

Here are some details ....

My layout is inspired by Mojo Monday 199.

 

~I used office spiral clips to represent the scalloped border.

~The smaller circle is represented by a key tag.

~Large acrylic block used to stamp background.

~Scallop Circle used as a template for markings with Fantastix tool and Memento Ink

~Partially cut out the clock with Spellbinders' Scallop Circle using cutting plates from my smaller Ellison Tag-A-Long which I lined up only on the bottom of the clock. This was stacked on a Multipurpose platform and I ran it through my Big Shot.

 ~Under the "flap" of the clock, I inserted an embossed triangle that was inked with Tim Holtz's Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I believe I got all the details in....

Thank you for stopping in...... see how many watches YOU notice around you. ;)

Stamps: ODBD TIME, Studio G snowflakes

Ink: Tim Holtz, Versamark, red glitter embossing powder, Memento Ink

Other: Fantastix tool, Spellbinders Scallop Circles, Ellison Tim Holtz Retro Circles embossing folder, large acrylic block for background

Card Patterns Sketch 118

 I have studied this sketch long enough...time to DO SOMETHING!!!

 

   I made a very simple Christmas card (first so far).

The second, is a thank you for a lady who has really blessed the Sunday school department.  My daughter came home with a homemade silk arrangement for me on Mother's Day.  Also, she came home one day with all this candy.  This woman's name keeps coming up (my daughter isn't in her class).  I have been wanting to say something for months....

Very, very simple.  

Thank you for peeking in! ;)
