Plenty of cards...

Ahhh...spring.  Ground Hog Day is next week - February 2nd.  Hmmm...should do a card for that!

For the card player...

For the pool player!  Note the dice have some bling added...

This was drawn freehand as well as the sentiment.

Just black cardstock and flowers cut with the Cricut "Plantin SchoolBook" cartridge.   Scissors were used to fringe the top petals.

I've been busy making plenty of cards this past few weeks. These are all 3x3 with the exception of the black/flower cards.  The "Thanks Sweetie" is all freehand and then coloured with markers.  All of these were made using scraps of patterned paper and card stock.    I have to head out for my walk - it's a little chilly, but sunny.  Until later! - Jackie

SU Card Swap {Christmas Collage; Bows and Boughs}

Good morning!  Here's my second card for this Saturday's swap.  I used the Christmas Collage and Bows & Boughs sets from SU.  The card is made from old olive, brown and whisper white card stock, chocolate chip ink and coloured with markers.  I used the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder and inked edges with chocolate chip. I'm not entirely pleased with the picture - too dark; but the card is quite nice.

It's a grey foggy morning here in my little part of the world...my DH calls it a Jackie Day because...for whatever reason...I love rainy days...I always have.    :0)    I spent alot of time yesterday cleaning and organizing the Paper Garnish Studio (that's what I've decided to call my craft room) and laundry room (because it's right next to the studio).  I made cupcakes for Taylor's birthday (instead of a cake we're having cupcakes) and it was extremely difficult keeping everyone away from them last night!!!  I am also trying to fight off this cold that's been hanging around for about a week...yuk.   

I thought I would get some additional spring bulbs planted this morning before the rain came (drumstick allium - really pretty) but it will wait 'til tomorrow now.  I have the tulips in already.  Pretty aren't they?

Today it's pumpkin loaf, more cupcakes! laundry and cardmaking.  Have a safe and happy day!      Take care - Jackie

Spring Note Cards

Am playing around this morning...changing the look of my blog a little more to reflect my personality.  This sure takes time!!  Here are a couple of blank note cards I created a couple of weeks ago.  We have a flea market at my church in June and thought I would donate some of my paper crafts. Very simple...which I like.  Hope you do to!  :)

Cheers!!! 

I'm thinking spring...

Today' we're in the throes of Old Man Winter....the entire city is practically shut down...so, today is a Snow Day.  Shucks - how I hate snow days ;-)   The forecast calls for 40cm by end of day tomorrow (Saturday). So, having a little time on my hands...forget the housework... :o)....I thought I would so something spring-ish.  I found the tutorial for these cute flower pot pocket cards on Splitcoast Stampers
