Perfect Blend

Scrapin' and Stampin' with my posse all weekend.   I am a happy girl!

It is pouring rain in the North Georgia mountains.  The PERFECT day to work on crafts.  The best part if I am on a Scrapin' and Stampin' Retreat with my girlfriends!  It is always so exciting to bounce ideas off such creative  woman.  I am truly amazed at their talents! 

I have made a lot of Fall cards and decided to take a break and create a card for the Create With Connie and Mary challenge.  I used one of my favorite stamp sets, "Regarding Dahlias."  It is a stamp that always makes me smile.  I love it!

The joke of the day is how I always end up with a 6 x 6 work space on the table.  I clean it up and regroup every 30 minutes and then it is back to this in a few minutes.

Some things NEVER change!

Stay tuned for more create items!

3 x 3 Gift Enclosures

September 18, 2013

Today was absolutely gorgeous!!!!  A hint of Fall in the air.  I attended the Ladies Club meeting in my neighborhood and you could actually feel a little chill in the air.  It was so refreshing!

I spent the afternoon making a variety of 3 x 3 gift card enclosures.  It was fun to change it up a little today.  I used a lot of scrap paper to line all the envelopes, too!  Old teachers never throw away paper---I made good use of lots of scraps in my box.  I felt a sense of accomplishment when I saw how many cards I could make in a short amount of time. 

I am not going to list all the papers, ink, stamp sets, etc., but if there is one you want to know more about, please leave a comment at the bottom of my post.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to join my email list. 

Looking forward to my weekend with Scrappin-Stampin' Friends!!!! One more day!

Happy Stampin!
