Let's Get Fruity - Simon Says Stamp Blog Challenge
Hi everyone! There's a great challenge going on over at Simon Says Stamp Blog, and I'm joining in the fun! This is the card I created for the "Let's Get Fruity" theme.
Supplies: Patterned Paper by The Girl's Paperie (red polka dot), Jenni Bowlin (two cherry patterns), Jenni Bowlin tickets, Bo Bunny black letter stickers, red ribbon, green jute and burlap from local scrapbook store, letter beads from Michaels, handmade pin, cherry journaling spot by American Crafts Dear Lizzy, buttons by Bag-O-Buttons from Foo-Fa-La, other: machine sewing.
I painted and glittered the buttons to make them look like cherries, and then tied them together with green jute for the stems. Thanks for looking! I especially hope the folks at Simon Says Stamp Blog like it - fingers crossed!

Precious Memories
Greetings! I had the beautiful opportunity to spend ten precious days with my best friend, and create some cards and mini albums. We've been friends since we were 4 years old (41 years now), and the time was so special. We created, laughed, cried and enjoyed each other's company. Here are just a few of the 30-some cards I made, and a few mini albums. I'm still learning about blogging, so thanks for bearing with me.
I just LOVE October Afternoon, and their new Five & Dime line is awesome! This first card uses the Five & Dime papers and embellishments, along with some KaiserCrafts rub-ons, some buttons that I painted and glittered (same with the Five & Dime cent sign), and some homemade scrunched seam binding.
The second card was whipped up this morning using some of the new Crate Papers, a Melissa Frances rub-on, scrunched seam binding and a few other goodies. Finally, the third was the new Simple Stories line. I truly appreciate you taking a look, and would love to hear your comments. I have so much fun creating.
