 Good Morning!

The very last day of 2020....can I get an Amen!  ;)

Here's to a better, happier and healthier 2021 for us all!

Here are some of the Christmas cards I made this year.  

It almost seems like a lifetime ago, yet it has only been 6 days!

Masculine card.

Lots of layers!

Card for my 90 year old Mom....who just got her first vaccination on Tuesday!!!!

The background is almost a hard chipboard, scored card stock and lots of pastes and sprays added.

My favorite for my favorite!

Very Cape Coddy!

I think I will enter this Joy To The World card

into the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Celebrate!!!

Another favorite with lots of layers and texture, sparkle and JOY!

I do wish you all JOY, especially in the coming year!

A couple of gals I know who are wildly talented shared this VIDEO.

It is in Spanish but you can totally follow along and figure it out, to make this style of closure!

Inside, just enough room to write a note!

I also made a 2nd ornament, looks like a sweet treat!

2...2 treats in 1!

I made a bunch of these cute Gnome cards. 

(and another style too--which I forgot to take a picture of)

Inside they say:  .....and most of 2020!

I made a bunch of these Gnome Ornaments as my 2020 Ornament 

and my 2020 Pay It Forward Trinket.

They are soooooo cute!

Still waiting on one to be delivered!!!  ARGH!!!

And if this Christmassy Post wasn't enough to make you believe in the Magic Of The Season....

Then just check out THIS photo!

This, my friends, will give you all of the feels!

MAGIC!!!

Just believe!

And this was our 2020 Beach Photo Card.

I don't know WHY the print is so small...maybe it's Gnome-Like???

Gnome For The Holidays....And Most Of 2020!

Thanks so much for popping in!

I hope you had time to celebrate your Holiday in a happy memorable way.

Perhaps not what we were used too, but happy all the same!

To next year!

Cheers!

With All Of My Heart

 Good Afternoon!

Seems like it's been awhile since I posted.

I hope all of your Holidays were fabulous!  

Despite this crazy year we had some great celebrations.

Now on to crafting!

This Tag was created for the Gina K Designs Challenge, Tic Tac Toe

I picked the bottom row:

Vellum-Ink Blending-Tag

I created my Tag using Gina K Designs Season Of Joy die set, which I cropped.

I also used her Heart mini stamp and die set.

I made my Vellum envelope by taking a part a coin envelope and tracing that on to my Vellum sheet.

Zig Two Glue Pen dries perfectly clear to seal the Vellum.

I blended some inks in varies colors onto White card stock and then die cut the word 'heart' out of it.  I also cut a piece in Black card stock so I could offset the layering.  

Coated in Clear Embossing Powder and heat sealed them.

Black Embossing Powder.

Ribbon.

Twine.

Heart Button.

Spellbinders Hearts die.

I'm sure I could tuck a sweet treat into the Vellum envelope, 

but I only have candy canes in the house at this time lol

May you all have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Cheers!
