Yesterday I thought my heart stopped beating for a brief spell. Here is the reason why… Since it was a beautiful day on the Big Island we decided to kayak in hopes of maybe catching a fish and to enjoy spotting humpback whales that winter here in Hawaii. There we were just drifting about [...]

Life can get a little wild and crazy around the holidays. Mine has been that way for a few days. Just trying to wrap up (so to speak!) some Christmas stuff and address long overdue elimination of yard weeds.
How is this for a monochromatic card? It’s composed of Rose Red (card base and layering), Bali [...]
Oh my goodness! We are in the last month of 2009! It really is true…the older you get the faster the years go by!
I was a little skeptical about taking on StampTVs latest sketch challenge (STVSC40). My problem being my brain seems wired toward straight lines and geometrical shapes. Hey, I was in the High Tech industry for over 30+ years—that may help explain a little on my brain wiring. 
Maybe that excuse will help in understanding why it is SO coloring outside of the lines for me to have a card mat ‘askew’ on a card front.
Now here’s a giggle—I really love my completed card! There’s hope for me yet! Now, more about the card itself.
I ran the SU!’s Brushed Gold card stock mat layer through my Big Shot using a Christmas themed texturz embossing plate. Next time I will use one to two sheets of card stock to act as shims to get a better impression. I tried this approach with another piece of card stock and the impressions were more prominent.
SU!’s Two-Way Glue Pen was used to apply SU!’s Gold Glitter to the poinsettia flower centers. This is such an easy and controllable way to add glitter to your craft project. Be forewarned! I am in a glitter mood now!!

Happy Thanksgiving day to all! We will be celebrating the day at our neighbors who live just across the street. My contributions for the Thanksgiving Day meal are almost completed. I am just wondering to myself if it was a good idea to volunteer to make homemade rolls. They could turn out to be small door stoppers…
I do know there is much to be thankful and grateful for in my life. One thing I try to do each night before falling to sleep is to thank God for all the blessings that came my way that day. Some times I find myself smiling in the dark as I recall a particular blessing.
Today’s card is my take on Stamp TVs sketch challenge STVSC39. I thought the Verve stamp sentiment was perfect for this particular sketch. The sketch gave me the excuse to use my SU! Kiwi Kiss corduroy buttons. OK—I have been hoarding them. Remember, SU! has a great promotion going on right now and you can purchase a cool bundle of corduroy buttons of various colors.
I dipped in to my stash and pulled out retired SU! In-Colors Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, and retired In-Color DSP to make this card. My SU! Sizzlit die, Birds & Blooms, was used to cut out two flowers using Chocolate Chip scrap paper pieces.

An acquaintance of mine recently had a double mastectomy. This is the card I made she’ll receive from me to let her know she’s in my thoughts and prayers. A good friend of hers says she is doing well and is in good spirits.
SU!’s Orchid Opulence is the card’s base and Apricot Appeal DSP (from [...]
