Festive Friday #45 Reminder

Hello, Happy Friday! While you all are out shopping and braving the Black Friday crowds, I'm at home preparing  for another Thanksgiving dinner. This time it's with my side of the family. I'm making the pumpkin pies and rolls. Thank goodness my Mom brings the turkey. I've never cooked a turkey before, and I'm plenty old enough people. There's no excuse. But as long as I don't have to... I will leave that to the the ones who know what they're doing :)

This is just a friendly reminder that there is still time to join in the  challenge at Festive Friday! This will be our last one for the year, so you don't want to miss it ;)

Here is the inspiration photo for this time. Isn't that Lovely?  Pink.... lovely pink.

And in keeping with the pink theme here is what I created.

And, this is my very favorite kind of card to make, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I just stamped and cut out a lot of different elements and played around with my composition until I got it like I wanted and glued it all down, some with foam tape and some just flat.

Supplies:

Mat- Waltzing Mouse

Sentiment- Waltzing Mouse

Tree- Papertrey Ink

Ornaments- My Favorite Things

Stitched circle die- My Favorite Things

Flag die- Papertrey Ink

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!

Festive Friday #38

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! 

It's time again for another challenge at Festive Friday!

Here is the inspiration photo for this time. I found this photo very interesting with so many different ways it could be interpreted!

I knew I wanted to do something with the snowflakes and the black stripes.

This is one of my favorite ways to put together a card. Just cut stuff out and start layering it and playing around with it until I like the way it looks. I started with Diagonal Stripe Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts from Reverse Confetti to build on. Then I added the snowflakes. The small white one is from WPlus9 and the gold ones are from Martha Stewart. I then added the pinecones from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment from Waltzing Mouse.

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!

A Little Something by My Mom

Happy Saturday to you all!

I told you the other day that my Mom lives next door, and they she loves to stamp and make cards too. Well, she came over one day this week to show me a lovely card that she had made. It was so pretty, that I took a picture of it right away so I could show it off on my blog. She doesn't blog. She has horses to ride, and doesn't have enough time for that foolishness ;) heheh! Matter of fact, she will only make cards if the weather is too bad to ride a horse, otherwise, she is off on a ride with one or several of her horse riding friends.  She's a gem, and I love her to pieces!

Here is her lovely card.

Didn't she do a wonderful job! I love that pretty paper that she used! She borrowed my new WaltzingMouse stamps and dies for the flower and I do believe that leaf is from Papertrey Ink. 

And here she is on her beautiful horse lady.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Kay :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all of those wonderful mother's out there :)

I hope you have a fabulous day with your family.

I made this card for my sweet mother. I am so blessed to have the best Mom in the world for my neighbor and my best friend. We have so much fun together. She loves to stamp also, but doesn't blog. She just takes all of my cards home and copies them! haha! She also reads my blog so she's going to see this ;) Love you Mom!! I hope you have a wonderful day!

This is really my favorite style of cards to make. I love to just cut stuff out and kind of cluster and center it on a white background. I don't think you can beat that look ;) The two background stamps are from the set Day Dream Medallions by Stampin' Up! The flowers are all from Waltzing Mouse. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and the swirly thing is from Papertrey Ink. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a wonderful Mother's day!

Hugs,

Kay :)
